'''Paris Whitney Hilton''' (born [[February 17]], [[1981]]) is an [[United States|American]] heiress of the [[Hilton Hotel]] fortune, a [[Model (person)|model]] and [[Actor|actress]]. Hilton is frequently derided from some quarters for epitomizing the vacuity and narcissism of [[celebrity]] life, although it appears that she makes at least some attempt to cultivate and play up to this [[persona]]. |

Everybody is sick and tired of Paris Hilton! |

|||
She was born in [[New York City|New York]], [[New York]], the eldest of four children born to real estate mogul [[Richard Hilton]] and former actress Kathy Richards. Her sister and brothers are [[Nicky Hilton|Nicholai Olivia "Nicky" Hilton]], Barron Nicholas Hilton and Conrad Hughes Hilton. |
|||
Her paternal grandparents are [[Barron Hilton]] and Marilyn Hawley. He was the second child of [[Hilton Hotel]] chain founder [[Conrad Hilton]] and Mary Barron. Her granduncles are [[Conrad Hilton, Jr|Conrad "Nicky" Hilton]] and Eric Hilton, and her grandaunt is Francesca Hilton, whose mother is [[Zsa Zsa Gabor]]. The family worth of Barron Hilton and his descendants is estimated at over [[United States dollar|$]]335,000,000. |
|||
Paris moved between several homes in her youth, including a suite in the [[Waldorf-Astoria Hotel]] in [[Manhattan]], [[Beverly Hills, California]] and [[the Hamptons]]. After [[secondary education]], she decided not to go to [[college]]. Instead, she worked as a [[fashion model]] for [[Catherine Malandrino]] and [[Marc Bouwer]], and on an ad campaign for [[Italy|Italian]] label ''Iceberg''. |
|||
Paris and her sister, Nicky Hilton, with whom she is often mentioned, are known for their jet-set lifestyles, though Paris has more readily sought the spotlight as a celebrity. |
|||
Hilton has also been widely discussed by [[tabloid]]s. In [[2000]], the ''[[National Enquirer]]'' reported a casual friendship with [[Leonardo DiCaprio]] as something far more intimate. She has, however, dated several notables, including [[actor]] [[Edward Furlong]], [[boxer]] [[Oscar De La Hoya]], model [[Jason Shaw]], [[Chicago Bears]] [[football]] player [[Brian Urlacher]], singers [[Rob Mills]], [[Derek Whibley]], and [[Backstreet Boys|Backstreet Boy]] [[Nick Carter]]. Hilton was also blamed by the media for breaking up the relationship between Australian tennis player [[Mark Philippoussis]] and singer [[Delta Goodrem]]. |
|||
Hilton has also received a lot of press for a variety of incidents, mainly party antics. She's been said to have pushed in front of others in line for a public bathroom, saying she only wanted to look at herself in the mirror. Hilton has danced on the top of [[bar banquettes]], worn shirts reading "Got Blow?," and others times worn no top at all. One of her more famous quotes is: "What's a [[soup kitchen]]?" |
|||
Hilton had a cameo appearance in ''[[Zoolander]]'' ([[2000]]), and has also appeared in the short ''[[QIK2JDG]]'' as a model, as well as ''[[The Hillz]]'', ''[[Wonderland (2003 movie)|Wonderland]]'', and the big-screen adaptation of ''[[The Cat in the Hat]]''. Pictures of her have appeared in several [[magazine]]s, including ''[[Gentlemen's Quarterly|GQ]]'', ''[[Vanity Fair magazine|Vanity Fair]]'' and ''[[FHM]]''. |
|||
Hilton and her best friend, [[Nicole Richie]], starred in the [[2003]] [[Fox Network|FOX]] hit [[reality series]] ''[[The Simple Life]],'' in which they lived with a family on their farm in rural [[Altus, Arkansas|Altus]], [[Arkansas]]. Highlights of the show included the girls performing poorly at various jobs, making out with the local boys, and numerous instances of them shown as "fish out of water." On [[March 19]], [[2004]], she suffered a horseback riding accident while filming ''The Simple Life 2'', requiring treatment at a hospital. |
|||
On top of her acting career, she has also helped to design purses for [[Samantha Thavasa]] and [[Toys for Tots]]. Despite her successes, Hilton's recent attempts to start a modeling company and a makeup line seem to have been unsuccessful. |
|||
An unauthorized [[celebrity sex tape|sex video]] of Hilton with her then-boyfriend [[Rick Salomon]], who leaked it onto the [[Internet]], was released shortly before ''[[The Simple Life]]'' debuted, causing a sensation. On [[June 9]], [[2004]] it was released as a DVD titled ''1 Night in Paris''. Hilton sued Salomon for releasing the tape. In July, the suit was settled, with Hilton receiving $400,000 and a percentage of the profits. The original video, and a rip of the DVD, are still circulating on the Internet. It has also been rumored there were leaks of a video featuring Paris in a [[lesbian]] sex romp with her friend [[Nicole Lenz]], a Playboy Playmate. |
|||
Hilton owns a teacup [[Chihuahua (dog)|Chihuahua]] named Tinkerbell. In [[August]] [[2004]], Tinkerbell was reported lost and a $5,000.00 reward was offered for her safe return. Tinkerbell was found a week later. |
|||
Hilton recently released a book, ''Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose'', which brings full color photographs of her and gives her tips on the dos and don'ts of living as an heiress. |
