Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton with her dog Tinkerbell

Paris Whitney Hilton (born Tuesday, February 17, 1981 in New York, New York) is an American heiress of the Hilton Hotel fortune, a socialite, model and actress. She is commonly referred to as being "famous for being famous."

She is the eldest of four children born to real estate mogul Richard Hilton and former actress and model Kathy Richards. Her sister and brothers are 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 "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 $335,000,000.

On the maternal side of her family, Hilton is a niece of two popular Disney child stars of the 1970s and 1980s, Kim Richards and Kyle Richards, who appeared in the motion picture Escape to Witch Mountain and TV series like Nanny and the Professor, Little House on the Prairie and ER.

Hilton moved between several homes in her youth, including a suite in the Waldorf=Astoria Hotel in Manhattan, Beverly Hills, 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 Italian label Iceberg.

Celebrity

Paris and her sister Nicky, 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 been widely discussed by tabloids. 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, and singers Rob Mills, Deryck Whibley, and Backstreet Boy Nick Carter. While Hilton was dating Nick Carter she sported bruises, which caused rumors that Carter may have beat her. This rumor was neither confirmed nor denied by Hilton at the time. A few months later, she announced that those "bruises" were from a magazine photo shoot (just when the magazine was coming out). She 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 other incidents, mainly party antics. She has 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 other times worn no top at all. One of her more famous quotes is: "What's a soup kitchen?" Her most famous quote, however, is "That's hot," which is used by Hilton in a myriad of situations.

Acting career

Hilton has an acting career on top of her other fame. She has had cameo appearances in Zoolander (2001) and Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! (2004). She also appeared in the short subjects QIK2JDG and L.A. Knights, as well as minor and supporting roles in the feature movies House of Wax, The Hillz, Wonderland, Uptown Girls, Raising Helen, The Cat in the Hat, and Nine Lives. Pictures of her have appeared in several magazines, including GQ, Vanity Fair and FHM.

She and her former best friend, Nicole Richie, starred in the 2003 FOX hit reality series The Simple Life, in which they lived with a family on their farm in rural 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.

She was also the subject of a South Park episode entitled "Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset" in which she opens a store called "Stupid Spoiled Whore" selling girls everything they need to emulate her.

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. She is the founder of Heiress Records, a label on which she plans to release her debut album in 2005. She is also a spokesmodel for various products including the T-Mobile Sidekick and Creative Zen Micro.

Her dog, book and friendship with Richie

Hilton owns a teacup Chihuahua named Tinkerbell. In August 2004, Tinkerbell was reported lost and a $5,000 reward was offered for her safe return. Tinkerbell was found a week later, having been left at the home of Hilton's grandparents.

In the fall of 2004, Hilton 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. Some in the media panned the writing as amateurish, and the book was parodied by Robert Mundell on The Late Show with David Letterman. Still, it became a New York Times bestseller.

In April 2005, she announced that she severed both personal and professional ties with friend Nicole Richie [1] (http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory?id=690937). Neither party has commented on the reason why, though Hilton has alluded that it is due to actions on the part of Richie. Unconfirmed reports suggest that Hilton hosted a party to watch her performance as host of Saturday Night Live, but that Richie switched the SNL tape with a tape of Hilton's infamous sex video.

Paris Hilton as sex symbol

An unauthorized 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. All profits she received from the video were donated to charity. The original video, and a rip of the DVD, are still circulating on the Internet. The video received the AVN Awards in 2005 for "Best Selling Title of the Year," "Best Renting Title of the Year" and "Best Overall Marketing Campaign – Individual Project."

There has been speculation that Hilton may be gay or bisexual. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Hilton stated that she did not receive much enjoyment from sex with men. It has also been rumored that there exists a video featuring Paris in a lesbian sex romp with her friend Nicole Lenz, a Playboy Playmate. In February 2005, she admitted in an interview that she has a crush on Jennifer Aniston. [2] (http://sify.com/movies/hollywood/fullstory.php?id=13673478), [3] (http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/celebrity/25742004.htm)

Hacked address book

On February 19, 2005, conceptual art outlaws, Seahorse Liberation Army, posted the contents of Hilton's personal T-Mobile account to the Internet: phone numbers (which included many celebrities such as Christina Aguilera, Fred Durst, Eminem, Lindsay Lohan, Jay-Z, Anna Kournikova, Andy Roddick, Avril Lavigne), notes (with even more numbers and email addresses, and reminders such as her date to host Saturday Night Live), and thirty-five digital snapshots. In two of the leaked photos, Hilton is standing topless next to the MTV Latin America's VJ Eglantina Zingg, whom she kisses. This further added to the speculation that Hilton might be gay or bisexual. Many of her notes showed heavy usage of Internet slang.

Within days, it was revealed [4] (http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2005/01/01/paris.html) that Hilton's account could be accessed by anyone guessing the answer to the "forgotten password" challenge question she chose: "What is your favorite pet's name?" As the answer to this question is a matter of public record, [5] (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1560250/) an anonymous party was able to guess it and notify the press.

"That's hot"

"That's hot" is a phrase popularized by Hilton (although an earlier usage is attributed to her Simple Life co-star Nicole Richie [6] (http://www.emediawire.com/releases/2004/9/emw157359.htm) and has been used by others for many years). The catch phrase, a synonym for "That's cool" or "That's awesome," has since been parodied in pop culture outlets such as Saturday Night Live [7] (http://snltranscripts.jt.org/04/04chilton.phtml) and even by Hilton herself, on The Late Show with David Letterman.

In 2004, Hilton filed a request to trademark the phrase "that's hot." Experts doubt that her request will be approved, but she has taken the necessary steps to re-file should she be denied. [8] (http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=76604206&action=Request+Status) She wishes to market clothing with the phrase prominently emblazoned on the garments; she felt it was time to trademark the phrase because "I've been saying it forever. I want to put it on T-shirts and stuff like that." [9] (http://archives.tcm.ie/breakingnews/2004/09/18/story167128.asp)

Advertisement controversy

Another controversy involving Hilton was her appearance in a Carl's Jr. television advertisement, originally broadcast in May 2005. In the commerical, which introduces the restaurant's "Spicy BBQ Six Dollar Burger", Hilton wears a provocative swimsuit and soaps up a Bentley automobile and herself before taking a big bite out of the burger.

This has drawn criticism from television watchdog groups, including the Parents Television Council. The research director for the PTC, Melissa Caldwell, says; "This commercial is basically soft-core porn. The way she moves, the way she puts her finger in her mouth - it's very suggestive and very titillating." The Los Angeles, California based group says they plan to mobilize their more than 1 million members to contact the restaurant chain and voice their concern.

Andy Puzder, CEO of Carl's Jr., says the group needs to "get a life...This isn't Janet Jackson -- there is no nipple in this. There is no nudity, there is no sex acts -- it's a beautiful model in a swimsuit washing a car." Puzder was referring to the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy.

In addition to featuring the ad on their web site, Carl's Jr. has also built a separate Web site to play a longer version of the commercial. A similar ad with Hilton for Hardee's hamburger chain (also owned by Carl's Jr. parent corporation CKE Restaurants) is expected to air June 2005.

Engagement

Although she has been linked to many other famous men, including Nick Carter among others, on May 29, 2005 it was announced that she is to marry her boyfriend of five months, Paris Latsis. Latsis is a Greek shipping heir. It will be the first marriage for both.

Andy Puzder, CEO of Carl's Jr., says the group needs to "get a life...This isn't Janet Jackson -- there is no nipple in this. Soon after "Free Hat" aired, the real Lucas and Spielberg announced that they would not be altering Raiders of the Lost Ark for DVD release (contrary to rumors surrounding it).

The Los Angeles, California based group says they plan to mobilize their more than 1 million members to contact the restaurant chain and voice their concern. In this episode, prompted by Kyle's comment on Ted Koppel's Nightline that changing E.T. would be like changing Raiders of the Lost Ark, the South Park depictions of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg decide to alter the first Indiana Jones film. The research director for the PTC, Melissa Caldwell, says; "This commercial is basically soft-core porn. In 2002 the episode "Free Hat" was aired. This has drawn criticism from television watchdog groups, including the Parents Television Council. In the audio commentary on the season 4 DVD set, Parker and Stone remarked that beginning with episode 408, "Chef Goes Nanners," they began to consistently make episodes centering on a single issue, rather than having different sub-plots going on. In the commerical, which introduces the restaurant's "Spicy BBQ Six Dollar Burger", Hilton wears a provocative swimsuit and soaps up a Bentley automobile and herself before taking a big bite out of the burger. In the case of this and the Elian Gonzalez episode, they stopped and changed production of an episode to focus on these events.

[9] (http://archives.tcm.ie/breakingnews/2004/09/18/story167128.asp). This allows for a short production schedule which enables the creators to respond quickly to current events.

Garrison's Fancy New Vagina," which incorporated uncensored footage of sex reassignment surgery. The catch phrase, a synonym for "That's cool" or "That's awesome," has since been parodied in pop culture outlets such as Saturday Night Live [7] (http://snltranscripts.jt.org/04/04chilton.phtml) and even by Hilton herself, on The Late Show with David Letterman. Season 9 premiered with the episode "Mr. "That's hot" is a phrase popularized by Hilton (although an earlier usage is attributed to her Simple Life co-star Nicole Richie [6] (http://www.emediawire.com/releases/2004/9/emw157359.htm) and has been used by others for many years). This was very evident in the first half of season 8: events in its episodes include Michael Jackson visiting South Park, the boys seeing The Passion of the Christ, blue-collar workers in South Park losing their jobs to immigrants from the future, and an episode featuring a "Paris Hilton" toy video camera. Within days, it was revealed [4] (http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2005/01/01/paris.html) that Hilton's account could be accessed by anyone guessing the answer to the "forgotten password" challenge question she chose: "What is your favorite pet's name?" As the answer to this question is a matter of public record, [5] (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1560250/) an anonymous party was able to guess it and notify the press. South Park's early episodes tended to be shock value-oriented, but the more recent episodes are often oriented more toward poking fun at current events.

Many of her notes showed heavy usage of Internet slang. In fact, a recent ad ran on Comedy Central listing many categories of people South Park has made fun of (including blacks, gays, politicians, transsexuals, Jews and the disabled) and stated afterward "We apologize if South Park has left you out.". This further added to the speculation that Hilton might be gay or bisexual. At any rate, the show has consistently made fun of all sides of the political spectrum. In two of the leaked photos, Hilton is standing topless next to the MTV Latin America's VJ Eglantina Zingg, whom she kisses. In other interviews Trey Parker and Matt Stone described themselves as being (small 'l') libertarian-Republicans. On February 19, 2005, conceptual art outlaws, Seahorse Liberation Army, posted the contents of Hilton's personal T-Mobile account to the Internet: phone numbers (which included many celebrities such as Christina Aguilera, Fred Durst, Eminem, Lindsay Lohan, Jay-Z, Anna Kournikova, Andy Roddick, Avril Lavigne), notes (with even more numbers and email addresses, and reminders such as her date to host Saturday Night Live), and thirty-five digital snapshots. Trey Parker stated in an interview that he was a "registered Libertarian".

[2] (http://sify.com/movies/hollywood/fullstory.php?id=13673478), [3] (http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/celebrity/25742004.htm). This has in turn prompted the use of the phrase South Park Republican to describe the attitudes of some of the show's viewers. In February 2005, she admitted in an interview that she has a crush on Jennifer Aniston. However, unlike many other satirical shows, South Park's political humor is often seen as mocking liberal celebrities and pet causes. It has also been rumored that there exists a video featuring Paris in a lesbian sex romp with her friend Nicole Lenz, a Playboy Playmate. The show has drawn widespread criticism from both conservatives and liberals for its themes and its offensive language. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Hilton stated that she did not receive much enjoyment from sex with men. The political leaning of South Park has been open to some debate.

There has been speculation that Hilton may be gay or bisexual. But another high point of the series is its dramatic score, for it dramatizes common and deep parts with a very heartwarming, melancholic or mysterious soundtrack. The video received the AVN Awards in 2005 for "Best Selling Title of the Year," "Best Renting Title of the Year" and "Best Overall Marketing Campaign – Individual Project.". Additional musical contributions to the show come from themselves and from Isaac Hayes, who voices the character Chef, and from the band Primus, which performed the original opening and ending themes for the show. The original video, and a rip of the DVD, are still circulating on the Internet. In The Death of Eric Cartman he sings "Make it Right" with Butters in a weak attempt to reconcile his sins. All profits she received from the video were donated to charity. Hankey and Santa Claus that he is worthy of Christmas presents.

In July, the suit was settled, with Hilton receiving $400,000 and a percentage of the profits. In Red Sleigh Down, he sings "Poo-Choo Train", an unnervingly cheery Christmas carol, in an obvious attempt to convince Mr. Hilton sued Salomon for releasing the tape. The character of Eric Cartman will often burst into song to convey a false altruism or optimism that belies his baser motivations. On June 9, 2004 it was released as a DVD titled 1 Night in Paris. Trey Parker and Matt Stone have, on occasion, performed these and other songs (some unrelated to the show, such as "Dead Dead Dead"), under the band name DVDA. An unauthorized 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. The film's soundtrack featured songs like "Mountain Town", "Uncle Fucka", "What Would Brian Boitano Do?" (a song to which Brian Boitano has been known to figure skate), "I'm Super", and "Blame Canada" (nominated for an Oscar, see below).

Unconfirmed reports suggest that Hilton hosted a party to watch her performance as host of Saturday Night Live, but that Richie switched the SNL tape with a tape of Hilton's infamous sex video. Popular songs such as "Kyle's Mom is a Bitch" originated on the show, but the creators' musical abilities were not frequently used until the release of South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut. Neither party has commented on the reason why, though Hilton has alluded that it is due to actions on the part of Richie. The fact that the lines are unintelligible helped them slip past network censors. In April 2005, she announced that she severed both personal and professional ties with friend Nicole Richie [1] (http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory?id=690937). Kenny always wears a parka over his head and most of his face. Still, it became a New York Times bestseller. It should be noted that Kenny's lines in the song, as well as all but one of his lines throughout the show (episode 807, "The Jeffersons") and one in the movie, are muffled.

Some in the media panned the writing as amateurish, and the book was parodied by Robert Mundell on The Late Show with David Letterman. The show's opening theme song is:. In the fall of 2004, Hilton 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. Although South Park is well known for its humor and controversial plots, viewers are also treated to an original musical score. Tinkerbell was found a week later, having been left at the home of Hilton's grandparents. According to the episode "Red Hot Catholic Love", virtually all the major and recurring characters in South Park are Roman Catholic, except:. In August 2004, Tinkerbell was reported lost and a $5,000 reward was offered for her safe return. See list of celebrities on South Park for more persons who have appeared on the show in one way or another.

Hilton owns a teacup Chihuahua named Tinkerbell. Examples include:. She is also a spokesmodel for various products including the T-Mobile Sidekick and Creative Zen Micro. Celebrities often appear (usually "impersonated.....poorly"). She is the founder of Heiress Records, a label on which she plans to release her debut album in 2005. And also Towelie the towel who always gets, or wants to get high (off cannabis). Despite her successes, Hilton's recent attempts to start a modeling company and a makeup line seem to have been unsuccessful. Hankey "the Christmas poo", who adds to the holiday festivities in much the same spirit as the 1960s Rankin-Bass cartoons.

On top of her acting career, she has also helped to design purses for Samantha Thavasa and Toys for Tots. Notable appearances include God, who appears as a small creature resembling a hippo-rodent hybrid; Jesus, a recurring character, who owns a home and hosts a public-access television show in South Park (Jesus and Pals); Satan and his lover Saddam Hussein; Moses, who appears exactly as the Master Control Program (MCP) does in the Disney film Tron and demands macaroni pictures; the alien Marklar race; the jakovasaur; Death; and Mr. She was also the subject of a South Park episode entitled "Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset" in which she opens a store called "Stupid Spoiled Whore" selling girls everything they need to emulate her. Part of the show's surrealist nature derives from the minor characters who appear in the series. 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. There are many other frequently recurring characters, besides the boys and their families. She and her former best friend, Nicole Richie, starred in the 2003 FOX hit reality series The Simple Life, in which they lived with a family on their farm in rural Altus, Arkansas.

She also appeared in the short subjects QIK2JDG and L.A. Knights, as well as minor and supporting roles in the feature movies House of Wax, The Hillz, Wonderland, Uptown Girls, Raising Helen, The Cat in the Hat, and Nine Lives. Pictures of her have appeared in several magazines, including GQ, Vanity Fair and FHM. Jefferson," an alias of Michael Jackson, in the episode "The Jeffersons", and in the ninth season, he was killed by the Chinese mafia in the episode "Wing," as well as the following episode, "Best Friends Forever" (in fact, he dies twice in the latter). She has had cameo appearances in Zoolander (2001) and Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! (2004). He was also killed once during the eighth season, unmasked, by "Mr. Hilton has an acting career on top of her other fame. Kenny was killed by Saddam Hussein in "It's Christmas in Canada," the final episode of season seven. Hilton has danced on the top of bar banquettes, worn shirts reading "Got Blow?," and other times worn no top at all. One of her more famous quotes is: "What's a soup kitchen?" Her most famous quote, however, is "That's hot," which is used by Hilton in a myriad of situations. He came back to life for an unexplained reason in "Red Sleigh Down" and is now the same regular kid he was before, except his deaths are much rarer now.

She has 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. For some time (after the 5th season episode "Kenny Dies"), Kenny had actually died "permanently." In the 6th season episode "A Ladder to Heaven," Kenny's soul became entrapped inside of Cartman's body, but an exorcism performed by Chef's mama in "The Biggest Douche in the Universe" undid this. Hilton has also received a lot of press for a variety of other incidents, mainly party antics. After this Stan would say, "Oh my god, they killed Kenny!" and Kyle would add, "You bastards!" Kenny would be back in the next episode, the incident forgotten. She was also blamed by the media for breaking up the relationship between Australian tennis player Mark Philippoussis and singer Delta Goodrem. The show's earliest well-known gimmick was that in every episode, Kenny would die in some horrible, unexpected way. A few months later, she announced that those "bruises" were from a magazine photo shoot (just when the magazine was coming out). In recent seasons, two other characters have gained prominence:.

This rumor was neither confirmed nor denied by Hilton at the time. The main characters of the show are four elementary school students:. While Hilton was dating Nick Carter she sported bruises, which caused rumors that Carter may have beat her. Craig" and "Cat Orgy"). 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, and singers Rob Mills, Deryck Whibley, and Backstreet Boy Nick Carter. Some episodes have sections of regular film edited in (e.g., "Tweek vs. Hilton has been widely discussed by tabloids. To put the efficiency of this process in perspective, consider that the average episode of The Simpsons takes 8 months to create while episodes of South Park have been completed in as little as 3 days.

Paris and her sister Nicky, with whom she is often mentioned, are known for their jet-set lifestyles, though Paris has more readily sought the spotlight as a celebrity. Paper cutouts were indeed used in the original pilot Parker/Stone animation and in the very first Comedy Central episode, but every subsequent episode aired on TV has been produced by computer animation that provides the same crude look. Instead, she worked as a fashion model for Catherine Malandrino and Marc Bouwer, and on an ad campaign for Italian label Iceberg. The characters and backgrounds of South Park are made to appear deliberately crude, as if they are simply made of cut-out pieces of paper. After secondary education, she decided not to go to college. Her husband, Dino Andrade, founded the Mary Kay Bergman Memorial Fund at the Suicide Prevention Center of Greater Los Angeles in an effort to help and educate people with the same type of depression that his wife suffered from.
