Paris Hilton - Living in Luxury

Paris Hilton's nickname may be Star, but she's known to many as Paris the Heiress. Born into a wealthy family who owns the Hilton hotels, Paris attended a number of prestigious schools in California, New York, and Connecticut until she finally received her GED after being home-schooled. She's famous for being a party girl, along with her sister and party partner, Nicky. Paris, who occasionally models and always says, "That's hot!" is currently recording a dance-pop album with the help of former *NSYNC member, JC Chasez.

Paris Hilton - Turning to a Simpler Life

Paris left the glitz and glamor of Beverly Hills and packed up her Christian Dior bags to star in the reality show, The Simple Life, with best friend, Nicole Richie. Cameras followed the girls as they lived on an Arkansas farm without their cell phones and credit cards. The show was such a huge success that Paris and Nicole went on to appear in The Simple Life 2, where the girls hit the dirt roads of smalltown America in a pink pickup truck - again, without their cell phones and credit cards. Look for Paris to star in the third season of The Simple Life, where she and Nicole will board a Greyhound bus to visit major cities along the East Coast and work as interns in various jobs.

Paris Hilton - Acting Out

After dabbling in runways and reality shows, Paris is now trying to conquer the acting industry. She had a guest role on The O.C., and appeared in Win A Date With Tad Hamilton, Raising Helen, and The Cat in the Hat. She recently finished filming the horror movie, House of Wax, and is now working on a new film called National Lampoon's Pledge This!

Paris Hilton - Playing the Field

Paris has been linked to a ton of Hollywood hotties, including Sum 41 lead singer Deryck Whibley, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Backstreet Boy Nick Carter. She has recently been spotted with former MTV veejay, Simon Rex, and tennis player, Mark Philippoussis.

Paris Hilton Says...

"I went to Wal-Mart for the first time. I always thought they sold wallpaper. I didn't realize it has everything. You can get anything you want there for really, really cheap."
