Biography for Paris Hilton

Paris Whitney Hilton (born Feb. 17, 1981 (29 years ago)) is an American socialite, heiress, media personality, model, singer, author, fashion designer and actress.

She is known for her appearance in a sex tape in 2004 (6 years ago), her appearance on the television series The Simple Life, her several minor movie roles (most notably her role in the horror movie House of Wax in 2005 (5 years ago)), her 2004 (6 years ago) tongue-in-cheek autobiography, her 2006 (4 years ago) music album Paris, and her work in modeling. As a result of several legal incidents, Hilton also served a widely publicized sentence in a Los Angeles County jail in 2007 (3 years ago).

As a model

Hilton began modeling as a child, initially at charity events. When she was 19, she signed with Donald Trump's modeling agency, T Management. Hilton has also worked with Ford Models in New York, Models 1 Agency in London, Nous Model Management in Los Angeles, and Premier Model Management in London. She has appeared in numerous advertising campaigns, including Iceberg Vodka, GUESS, Tommy Hilfiger, Christian Dior, and Marciano. In 2001 (9 years ago), Hilton began to develop a reputation as a socialite, being identified as "New York's leading It Girl" whose fame was beginning to "extend beyond the New York tabloids". She has appeared in several magazines, including the Apr. 2004 (6 years ago) issue of Maxim.

Film

Hilton has made cameo appearances in several films, notably Zoolander, Wonderland, and The Cat In The Hat. She landed minor and supporting roles in the feature movies Nine Lives, Raising Helen, The Hillz, and House of Wax. Her role as Paige Edwards in House of Wax won the Teen Choice Award for "Best Scream" and earned her a nomination for "Choice Breakout Performance – Female". (It also won her the 2005 (5 years ago) Razzie for "Worst Supporting Actress" at the 2005 (5 years ago) Golden Raspberry Awards.) She also earned a nomination for "Best Frightened Performance" at the 2006 (4 years ago) MTV Movie Awards. She landed her first lead roles in 2006 (4 years ago) with the straight-to-DVD releases National Lampoon's Pledge This! and Bottoms Up. She plays the Hottie in the box office bomb romantic comedy The Hottie and the Nottie, released in 2008 (2 years ago). She also had a minor cameo appearance as herself in An American Carol.

More recently, Hilton plays Amber Sweet, the surgery- and painkiller-addicted daughter of a biotech magnate in the goth/rock musical Repo! The Genetic Opera. Critics have responded positively to her performance in the film, in which she sings and acts. In an interview Repo! director Darren Lynn Bousman revealed that he had originally refused to audition Paris for the role of Amber Sweet. "I broke down," says Bousman, "and I met with her, and immediately she charmed everyone in the room." In the same interview, Bousman also revealed that Hilton was so keen to get the part that she had the script smuggled in to her during her much publicized stint in a Los Angeles jail, and used her time inside to work on her role.

TV

Hilton co-starred with Nicole Richie in the Fox reality series The Simple Life, which premiered on Dec. 2, 2003 (7 years ago). The Simple Life ran for three seasons on Fox. The show was cancelled by Fox after a dispute between Hilton and Richie, but it was subsequently aired by E! Entertainment TV for the fourth and fifth seasons. Despite talks of a sixth season, the series finished its run at the end of the fifth season. In Mar. 2008 (2 years ago), it was reported that Hilton would star in a new MTV reality series tentatively titled Paris Hilton's My New BFF, about her looking for a new best friend. The series premiered on Sep. 30, 2008 (2 years ago).

Hilton has also guest-starred in episodes of The O.C., The George Lopez Show, Las Vegas, American Dreams, Dogg After Dark, and Veronica Mars. Furthermore, she appeared in several music videos, including "It Girl" by John Oates and "Just Lose It" by Eminem. Planning is underway for an eponymous cartoon series following the animated life of Hilton, her sister Nicky, and her dog Tinkerbell, which began filming in Sep. 2007 (3 years ago). In Apr. 2008 (2 years ago), she guest starred on the My Name is Earl episode "I Won't Die with a Little Help from My Friends". On 29 Jan. 2009 (last year), Paris Hilton's British Best Friend, began airing on ITV2 in England. The second season of Paris Hilton's My New BFF premiered on Jun. 2, 2009 (last year). In Jun. 2009 (last year), Hilton will shoot " Paris Hilton's My New BFF- Dubai ". Runner-up of the British series Kat McKenzie died on Jul. 3, 2009 (last year) of a suspected overdose.

Recording artist

Hilton founded Heiress Records, a sub-label of Warner Bros. Records, in 2004 (6 years ago) and released her self-titled debut album, Paris, under that label on Aug. 22, 2006 (4 years ago). Although the album reached number six on the Billboard 200 for a week, its total sales volume has been low - but the first single "Stars Are Blind" was a top ten hit in 17 countries. Allmusic commented that the album was "more fun than anything released by Britney Spears (80 walls) or Jessica Simpson (30 walls), and a lot fresher, too." On the whole, critical reception was mixed. On Jul. 16, 2007 (3 years ago) Hilton confirmed that she was working on a new album with producer Scott Storch. In a recent interview with MTV, Hilton decided that her second album is going to be a dance album. She stated that she "loves Bob Sinclar" and wants to create dance-music vibe. Hilton has installed a professional recording studio in her house to work on the album. On Sep. 30, 2008 (2 years ago), Hilton premiered her song "My BFF" on KIIS-FM with host Ryan Seacrest. It is the first single from her as yet untitled second studio album and the theme song of her show Paris Hilton's My New BFF. Hilton stated that she finished working on the album. A second song "Paris For President" was released along with a music video late Oct. 2008 (2 years ago). Paris Hilton can also be heard singing on the soundtrack to the musical Repo! The Genetic Opera. In an interview, the director, Darren Lynn Bousman, praised her vocal skills. When talking about Paris' vocal audition process for the role, Bouseman said, "We gave her some music and said, 'You have one day to come back and perform this.' She came back the next day, memorized everything, was pitch-perfect, I mean she was awesome."

As an author

In the autumn of 2004 (6 years ago), Hilton released an autobiographical book, Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose, co-written by Merle Ginsberg, which includes full color photographs of her and her advice on life as an heiress. Hilton reportedly received a $100,000 advance payment for this book. Some in the media panned the writing as amateurish, and the book was parodied by Robert Mundell on The Late Show with David Letterman. The book became a New York Times bestseller. Hilton followed it up with a designer diary, also with Ginsberg, called Your Heiress Diary: Confess It All to Me.

Standing as a celebrity

Some sources claim Hilton has said that she is the "iconic blonde of the decade", comparing herself to Princess Diana and Marilyn Monroe. She denied this claim in the May 2007 (3 years ago) issue of Harper's Bazaar. She appeared in the 2007 (3 years ago) Guinness World Records as the world's "Most Overrated Celebrity". In a poll conducted by the Associated Press and AOL, Hilton was voted the second "Worst Celebrity Role Model of 2006", behind Britney Spears. Critics suggest that Hilton epitomizes the title of famous for being famous; echoing that sentiment, the Associated Press conducted what they called an experiment in Feb. 2007 (3 years ago), trying not to report on Hilton for a whole week.

Products and endorsements

Hilton helped design a collection of purses for Japanese label Samantha Thavasa, and also a jewelry line for Amazon.com. In 2004 (6 years ago), Hilton was involved in the creation of a perfume line by Parlux Fragrances. Originally set to be a small release, high demand led to a wider release before Dec. 2004 (6 years ago). The launch was followed by a 47 percent increase in sales of Parlux products, predominantly due to sales of the Hilton-branded perfume. After the success of Hilton's perfume, Parlux Fragrances released several more perfumes with her name, including fragrances for men. Paris Hilton launched a new fragrance in Oct. 2007 (3 years ago), called Can Can. This is her fourth women's fragrance after Paris Hilton, Just Me, and Heiress. During the month of Nov. 2008 (2 years ago), Paris Hilton released her fifth fragrance for women called, "Fairy Dust". In Jan. 2007 (3 years ago), Hilton released the DreamCatchers line of hair extensions in partnership with Hair Tech International. In early Aug. 2007 (3 years ago), Hilton signed a licensing agreement with Antebi for a signature footwear line, "Paris Hilton Footware", featuring stilettos, platforms, flats, wedges, and a sports collection, expected to reach stores in 2008 (2 years ago). In mid Aug. 2007 (3 years ago), Hilton launched a line of tops, dresses, coats, and jeans at Kitson boutique in Los Angeles.

In 2005 (5 years ago), Hilton lent her name to a chain of nightclubs owned by Fred Khalilian and known as Club Paris. This association ended in Jan. 2007 (3 years ago) after she had failed to attend several scheduled promotional appearances.

In Dec. 2007 (3 years ago), Hilton posed nude, covered in gold paint, to promote "Rich Prosecco", a canned version of an Italian sparkling wine. She also traveled to Germany to promote the drink, appearing in various print ads for the product.

Early years

Born in New York City, Hilton is the oldest of four children of Richard and Kathy Hilton (née Avanzino). She has a sister, Nicky, and brothers, Conrad and Barron. Her father is of German and Norwegian ancestry and her mother is of Italian and Irish ancestry.

On the maternal side of her family, she is a niece of two child stars of the 1970s, Kim Richards and Kyle Richards. Hilton was related by marriage to Nicole Richie's godmother, Nancy Davis, when Nancy's brother, Greg, was married to Kim Richards.

Hilton's paternal grandparents are hotel chairman Barron Hilton, and his wife, the former Marilyn Hawley; Barron Hilton's parents were Hilton Hotels founder Conrad Hilton and his first wife, Mary Barron.

Hilton moved between several exclusive homes in her youth, including a suite in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in Manhattan, Beverly Hills, and the Hamptons. As a child she was good friends with Nicole Richie and Kim Kardashian. She attended her freshman year of high school at the Marywood-Palm Valley School in Rancho Mirage, California followed by the Dwight School in New York for her sophomore and junior years. Famously she went to school here with Lady Gaga. She was then transferred to the Canterbury Boarding School, in New Milford, Connecticut where she was a member of the ice hockey team. However, in early 1999 (11 years ago), she was expelled for violating the school rules. Hilton later earned her GED.

In Dec. 2007 (3 years ago), Hilton's grandfather Barron Hilton pledged 97 percent of his estate to a charitable organization founded by his father, the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation. An immediate pledge of $1.2 billion was made, with a further $1.1 billion due after his death. He cited his father's actions as the motivation for his pledge. According to reports, the potential inheritance of his grandchildren is sharply diminished.

Personal life

Hilton was engaged to fashion model Jason Shaw from mid-2002 to early 2003 (7 years ago). In 2003-2004 she had a relationship with singer Nick Carter. Later she was engaged to Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis, from May 29, 2005 (5 years ago) to Nov. 2005 (5 years ago). Thereafter, she began dating another Greek shipping heir, Stavros Niarchos III, before breaking up in May 2006 (4 years ago). In early 2008 (2 years ago), she was spotted with Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden and in May, Hilton announced her intention to marry Madden during interview with television talk-show host David Letterman. The two broke up in Nov. 2008 (2 years ago), and "remain very good friends". She began dating The Hills star Doug Reinhardt in Feb. 2009; Hilton has also referred to her intention to marry Reinhardt, saying "He's gonna be my husband." The couple broke up in Jun. 2009 (last year).

Hilton told Live with Regis and Kelly: "One-night stands are not for me. I think it's gross when you just give it up. Guys want you more, if you don't just hand it to them on a platter."

Hilton loves small dogs, and lives with a Yorkshire Terrier and a female Chihuahua named Tinkerbell. Hilton is frequently seen carrying Tinkerbell (dubbed an "accessory dog") at social events and functions, and in all five seasons of television reality show The Simple Life. In 2004 (6 years ago), Tinkerbell "authored" a memoir, The Tinkerbell Hilton Diaries. On Aug. 12, 2004 (6 years ago), Tinkerbell went missing after Hilton's apartment was burgled, and a $5,000 reward was offered for her safe return. She was found six days later. By Dec. 1, 2004 (6 years ago), Tinkerbell was again spotted with Paris Hilton at various events. Hilton has also purchased a male Chihuahua on Jul. 25, 2007 (3 years ago) from Pets of Bel Air in Los Angeles. Hilton's love for man's best friend led her to create an apparel line for dogs called Little Lily by Paris Hilton, with some of the proceeds going to benefit animal rescue. "I have 17 dogs and I like to dress them, so I started designing this clothing line and it's really cute, like dresses and jeans — everything you can imagine for humans, but for dogs," she said in an interview during Super Bowl XLII festivities.

A homemade sex video of Hilton and then-boyfriend Rick Salomon was leaked on the Internet in 2003 (7 years ago), later released as the DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) 1 Night in Paris despite attempted legal action. It appeared a week prior to the premiere of The Simple Life.

On Dec. 20, 2008 (2 years ago), around 4:00 am, a man in a hooded sweater and gloves entered Hilton's Mulholland Estates, Los Angeles home and stole $2 million dollars worth of jewelry and other items from her bedroom. Hilton was not home at the time and nobody was injured in the home invasion. There is speculation that it was an inside job.

Latest news about Paris Hilton

Source: Paris Hilton Totally Wears the Pants in Relationship with Doug Reinhardt The Hollywood Gossip - 4 hours ago
Color us astonished at this breaking news. When it comes to her current, loving relationship, Paris Hilton's friend and former partying pal says the socialite is "in charge" of boyfriend Doug Reinhardt. "I've never met Doug, but I can tell you that she definitely wears the pants!" says Richie Rich, who apparently is a real person, at The Runaways premiere. Who would have guessed Paris Hilton ever wore any pants? "She calls the shots," Rich said. "I hope he's good to her." Paris Hilton and Doug Reinhardt have either managed to stay out of the press for the past few months, or the press has not been that interested. Either way, they lay low. The couple has been dating on-and-off for a year, and marriage rumors seem to follow them constantly. On that note, Rich seems to want them to wed. "A huge, classical, theatric sort of wedding!" the designer said, salivating at the prospect of a Paris Hilton wedding. "She has great style and great taste." Last April, she declared that she would wed the former Hills star sometime, saying: "He's going to be my husband ... I'm really in love and really happy." Truly, you know that it is just a matter of time until he becomes Mr. Paris Hilton. First he needs to stop getting in trouble for trashing houses, though.
