People who are in demand and popular regardless of whether they have any talent or other redeeming qualities, only for their social status.

An uber socialite is a prominent or extreme example of someone prominent in fashionable society. Uber, the German word for above or over, has been adopted by English-speakers as a prefix meaning super or ultra, thus, the uber socialite is one whose social activities go above and beyond those of the average socialite, for example, seeking publicity through outrageous public acts (e.g. violence, drunkenness, vulgarity, sexuality, belligerence, etc.)

Everybody's 'friend' if you are somebody that is. Somebody that's only concerned to maintain status.
Uber is a term from WWII when Hitler was creating 'Der Ãber-mensch' Translate that as super-man. Not the comic version just a perfect specimen. Nowadays the term uber is used to stress the fact it is very much over the top.
Socialite is a person, usually of high social class, who is famous because they go to a lot of parties and social events which are reported in the newspapers

UBER
Term with literal meaning of "above" in German. Brought to the mainstream in the early 80's by hardcore American punk band, the Dead Kennedys when using the term in the anti-Californian government song "California Uber Alles", which is a take off the German motto of "Deustchland Uber Alles", which translates to "Germany above all." The term was picked up in their native California stomping grounds by the typical surfers and "punks" and extended from there to many teenagers, the majority of which use the term online. As in........
That was uber-lame.

Socalites are usually city or country bound or international. Paris transcends all this.
It could mean subtlely that she like to do Germans...;-)
