Biography of Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton Biography

Paris Hilton was born on February 17th, 1981, to Rick and Kathy Hilton, making her the great-granddaughter of Conrad Hilton, founder of the Hilton hotels and source of the family fortune -- estimated at $300 million. Her grandfather, Conrad "Nicky" Hilton, Jr., also brought some notoriety to the family, as he was the first of Elizabeth Taylor's many ex-husbands. Paris' younger sister Nicky Hilton (born in 1983), shares the throne as co-heiress of the Hilton empire.

Growing up in Manhattan's ritzy Waldorf-Astoria, the family's New York home, as well as other Hilton digs in Beverly Hills and the Hamptons, Paris Hilton didn't seem to yearn for much. Even after graduating from high school, college didn't appeal to her. So, around the year 2000, Paris Hilton decided to branch out and become famous.

Paris Hilton began to make a name for herself as a model, soon appearing in shows for designers such as Marc Bouwer and Catherine Malandrino, and Paris Hilton later completed an ad campaign for Iceberg, an Italian label. In addition, Paris Hilton has posed for spreads in national magazines such as GQ, Vanity Fair and FHM, and has also been profiled, along with her sister, in People magazine.

At the same time, Paris Hilton became the center of attention because of her relationships -- real or imagined by the paparazzi -- with some of Hollywood's hottest young stars. In early 2000, Paris Hilton was spotted around town with Leonardo DiCaprio. However, the press, especially the National Enquirer, blew their casual friendship far out of proportion. Nevertheless, Paris Hilton apparently dated Terminator 2's Edward Furlong for a few months, and was later seen out and about with boxer Oscar de la Hoya. Paris Hilton has also been linked with actor and Tommy Hilfiger model, Jason Shaw, as well as Sum 41 lead singer Derek Whibley.

Paris Hilton , along with her younger sister Nicky Hilton, also became notorious as socialites, gracing party after party and getting bad press for their antics. For example, Paris Hilton has grabbed headlines by shoving ahead of others in a washroom line, then, when upbraided for her rudeness, quipped that Paris Hilton only wanted to look at herself in the mirror. Paris Hilton has also danced on top of bar banquettes, gone topless for attention, and paraded around in designer T-shirts with slogans like, "Got Blow?" Yet Paris Hilton maintains that the bad press "sucks" and that "people are mean."

Perhaps in an effort to clean up her image, Paris Hilton has tried to make her mark by working on more substantial projects. In 2001, she had a cameo appearance in Ben Stiller's fashion spoof, Zoolander. Other appearances include a role as a strung-out supermodel in the film short QIK2JDG, The Hillz (co-starring boyfriend Jason Shaw), Wonderland, and the big-screen adaptation of the Dr. Seuss classic, The Cat in the Hat. Paris Hilton can also be seen in the FOX reality show, The Simple Life, which is based on Green Acres, and features Paris Hilton living on a farm.

On top of her burgeoning acting career, Paris Hilton has designed a high-end collection of purses for Tokyo label Samantha Thavasa, along with her sister Nicky. Paris Hilton has also given back; Paris Hilton has done charity work for Toys for Tots. Unfortunately, Paris Hilton attempts to start a modeling company and a makeup line seem to have fizzled.

Paris Hilton has recently grabbed headlines thanks to a makeout session with notorious lesbian, Ingrid Casares, and the rumor of a sex tape featuring Paris Hilton and Rick Solomon in the act.

Paris Hilton sets the standard for the wealthy, twenty-something socialites of the 21st century. Paris Hilton privileged upbringing as heiress to the Hilton millions and her whirlwind itinerary of partying make her seem like a perfect subject for Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.

Even a life that is such an Epicurean feast is not without its hiccups. Paris Hilton has garnered unwanted attention in the tabloids for her connections with movie stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Edward Furlong. And Paris Hilton hasn't helped matters with her obnoxious conduct at a number of functions and parties at such high-profile venues as the notorious Studio 54, which has been duly publicized by the gutter press.

Nevertheless, Paris Hilton has made some efforts to step out of the imposing shadow of the Hilton name. Paris Hilton has established herself as a model and taken the first steps toward starting an acting career, as well as made inroads into the business end of the fashion world. It's too soon to tell just how successful these ventures will be, and whether the nameParis Hilton will ever mean more than a hotel in France.

Sadly, it seems that Paris Hilton ' reputation as a "poor little rich girl" is justified. While by all accounts Paris Hilton has good relationships with her family, especially her sister and party partner Nicky, her public persona tends to be haughty and self-centered. Along with her well-publicized bathroom line-cutting, another example of Paris' self-absorption is that her favorite movie is Zoolander -- in which she appears.

As for talent, Paris Hilton ' ventures in film and fashion entrepreneurship have yet to really take off. But to be fair, merely in her early 20s, Paris Hilton still has a lot of time to explore and establish herself as something other than just another excessively wealthy socialite.

Despite her protestation that Paris Hilton hates being famous, Paris Hilton adores the spotlight, and is very uninhibited (as her alleged appearance in a homemade sex tape with Rick Solomon would suggest). Combine that lack of restraint with a pouty, girlish joie de vivre, and you've got quite a package -- or a handful, if you tend to be more cynical.

In the end, Paris Hilton ' sexiness is a matter of personal preference. Paris Hilton lack of sophistication, despite a privileged upbringing, when amplified by infantile antics, could be a real turnoff for many. Nevertheless, a breezy attitude, a pretty face, and a juicy bankroll are enough for some men. And since when were "respectable" women automatically sexier anyway?

Ironically, Paris Hilton s' main accomplishment is that she has made herself famous without really having accomplished anything, aside from some modeling and bit parts in films like Wishman, Nine Lives, The Hillz, and The Cat in the Hat. She is also the star of FOX's reality show, The Simple Life, which features Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie (daughter of Lionel) living on a farm.

But you have to give Paris Hilton credit for dropping some of her cash on charities and charitable events, such as a casino night to benefit Harlem's Room to Grow charity. And Paris Hilton trying to make a mark in the real world is commendable (even if it is the rather bogus world of fashion).

Paris Hilton ' fame remains closer to notoriety than true recognition. Paris Hilton is still a fixture in gossip columns and the tabloid press thanks to her antics at parties and string of high-profile boyfriends, and has now apparently become a role model for other attention starved socialites looking to up their public profile.

Paris Hilton isn't quite a voluptuous knockout, but she certainly is pretty, and her success as a model is understandable. Her slender frame is certainly the stuff of cover girls. Paris Hilton blonde hair, brown eyes, and sensuous mouth round out the picture.

But since Paris Hilton is still in her early 20s, Paris Hilton has the waifish, not-quite-developed look of an awkward teenager, which can detract from her assets. Perhaps in a few more years her beauty will mature a little more, and, by doing so, deepen.

Paris Hilton ' style leaves a bit to be desired, as it tends to shock rather than soothe. At a high-profile L.A. shindig, for example, Paris Hilton wore a white shredded-hem silk dress with rhinestones by Heatherette, sky-high Patricia Field platforms, and a white bomber hat by Gucci -- and Paris Hilton looked like a dude ranch reject.

Usually, Paris Hilton can be seen in low-slung Frankie B. jeans, a tank top, a denim jacket, faux-diamond waistbands, and too much makeup: In other words, a more urban kind of overpriced pseudo-chic. It's difficult to imagine Paris Hilton in anything truly elegant.

Last night Roddick's management was not available for comment

Hotel heiress Paris Hilton, famous for her amateur porn videos, has ruled out doing nude scenes in the movies even though film directors are expecting her to do so.

The "Simple Life" show star is very much hopeful that her upcoming films - "House of Wax" and "National Lampoon's: Pledge This", will establish her credentials as a serious actress.

"No way, I would never strip for a movie. I would never do anything like that. I have studied acting for years," femalefirst quoted Paris as saying.

"That is what I want to do from now on. That and my music too. People still keep asking me about the sex tape. I am really getting p*ssed off with it. I want to move on, but it's really hard," the hi-flying socialite added.

Paris Hilton says she was sexually molested

Paris Hilton reportedly left Hugh Hefner's annual Halloween party in a big huff after claiming a party worker sexually molested her on a walk through a haunted house.

Paris Hilton, said that an actor dressed as a ghoul jumped out and grabbed her inappropriately. An onlooker said that Paris Hilton shouted for help and demanded to file a complaint against the mansion.

Hefner's aides, however, said that security told her that having someone jump out of the dark and grab her was part of the experience, reports Star magazine.

The 'Simple Life' star then huffed off to her limo, screaming into her cell phone for the driver, leaving her younger sister, Nicky stranded.
