SPEAK UP - JAN.06
Her film career hasn't taken off, but a Fox reality show called The Simple Life is a great success in the USA. On the original show Paris and her friend Nicole Richie (the adopted daughter of Lionel) live for six weeks on a farm in Altus, a small Arizona town. There the two girls and Tinkerbell, a Chihuahua dog dressed in little boots, shock the local people with their behaviour and mini skirts. Paris just never stops and nothing can stop her. She has also published a book, Confessions of an Heiress.

Paris Hilton is world-famous. This isn't surprising: she is the heiress and greatgranddaughter of Conrad Hilton, the founder of the Hilton hotels group. The family business is worth 300 million dollars. Some people hate her and say she is a spoilt brat, while others love her enthusiasm for life. The paparazzi say she's the best, she always turns and smiles for the camera. Paris was born in 1981 and grew up with her younger sister, Nicky, in Manhattan's Waldorf-Astoria, the family's New York home. She had a pampered childhood, but didn't enjoy school and decided not to go to university. She was soon working as a model for designers such as Catherine Malandrino and the Italian label, Iceberg. The gossip columns were more interested in her nightlife and the men she dated, and she became notorious for dancing on tables and going topless. The list of boyfriends is long: Leonardo DiCaprio, Edward Furlong, boxer Oscar de la Hoya and model Jason Shaw.
MAKING MOVIES
Next Paris tried Hollywood and had parts in several films, such as Zoolander (a Ben Stiller comedy in which she plays herself), Wonderland (a thriller) and House of Wax (a horror movie).
