Paris Perfection

 

 

D                   THINK of Paris Hilton and you'll probably think of a dizzy, spoilt millionairess whose sole role in life is to wear ridiculous ,, clothes and appear at parties.  But according to close pals of the  blonde clothes horse, we've got her all wrong. Hard-working Paris has a single........... Stars Are Blind, out on July 31,  2006 followed by an  album, Paris Hilton, on August 21. 2006      And she has leading role in two movies, Pledge This and Bottoms Up, later this year      Obviously, then underneath those over- sized shades and pink lip gloss is an   intelligent, ambitious businesswoman who  has made a fortune by her own efforts.           Despite her position in the famous hotel- owning clan,   Paris will  have to  share her inheritance with several  other Hilton grandchildren and  great grandchildren.  Experts say  her share won't amount to much.         So, from an  early age, Paris has been focused on making her own fortune.      And now that she's one of the world's most recognisable women, it seems her hard work has paid off.          From starring in her own reality show, The Simple Life, to lending her name to handbags, perfume, make-up and now a pop album,     Paris has become a top-selling brand.          "It's Paris Hilton plc, baby!" she giggles. "I have so many projects. "I go round the world every three days, designing and personally approving it all.           I've got movies to make, a tour, TV shows. "Every day of my life is scheduled until the end of 2007"        Last  yeas she earned around £4 million all by  herse1f Yes, there's a lot more to this wealthy lady than tottering around at showbiz parties. Although she does still manage to fit that into her hectic diary          "There's nobody who can generate as much as I can for events," she says modestly. "They did a poll in tbe States asking people who they'd most like to see at a party - and it was me."        Her old flatmate, Giles Hattersley, knew the pouting princess before she rocketed to international   fame.       He says the young Paris was warm, witty and considerate and nothing like the airhead she is often painted as.          Paris admits the media portrayal of her can get annoying. "I've become a cartoon," she says. "Nobody seems to get that how I am on The Simple Life is a character.        "I play dumb like Jessica Simpson plays dumb. But we know exactly what we're doing. We're smart blondes."          Music is an entirely new venture for the heiress but one she fully intends to succeed in. "People are surprised I can sing and I think:      'What's the big deal?" she says. "It is a little insulting, but I love to surprise people.      Ive  always  sung  and  played  the  violin  and  piano  since  I  was   6  years  old.      I  wrote  the  lyrics  for  my  album.    Guys   however,  are  off  the  list  for  a  year  while  Paris  concentrates on   her  album.        "I m  doing  it  because  I  want  to  ,"   she  explains  " Every  time  I  have  a  boyfriend,  I  don t  pay  attention  to  myself."    Well  we re  all  paying  attention  Paris,  these  pictures prove  you  are  just   Perfection.     i       We want to hear all your funny, exciting and crazy Hotmail stories.
