Paris Hilton Biography


Birth Name: Paris Hilton
Birth Date: 02/17/1981
Claim to Fame (or Shame) : Parlay primo social standing as a Hilton-hotel heiress into massive fame as a self-proclaimed iconic blonde? Like it or not, it’s hot. As one of the most photographed and Googled women of our time, Paris is an entity we can’t escape. (Also unable to escape, her sister and perma-party escort Nicky Hilton!) There is Paris Hilton, the perfume; Paris Hilton, The Simple Life brat; Paris Hilton, the preferred human accessory of hot Greek heirs. Ooh! There’s even Paris Hilton--hot, wet cheeseburger-commercial lady. But before all her marketing ventures, there was One Night in Paris, the sex tape that “accidentally” launched her into superstardom. Talk about dumb luck.

Notes:

"I don't really read anything on the Internet except my AOL mail. I don't like people who sit on computers all day long and write about people they don't know anything about."---Hilton quoted to Cnn.com, May 5, 2005.

"I don't want to be known as the granddaughter of the Hiltons. I want to be known as Paris."---Hilton AskMen.com

"I have always had a voice and always known I could sing, but I was too shy to let it come out. ... When I finally let go and did it, I realized it is what I am most talented at and what I love to do the most."---Paris Hilton, whose first single, "Stars Are Blind," was released summer 2006. People, May 2006.

"I think people like me because I am very real myself and I lead an exciting life. There is no one like me. I am unique."---Paris Hilton, to Reuters, April 2006.

"Since the show came out, I can't really have fun anymore because people (are) coming up every minute and are like, 'Oh, can I have a picture?'"---Paris Hilton People March 23, 2004

"Walmart, what's that, do they like, make walls there"---Hilton on "The Simple Life" December 2, 2003

''My dad and mom always tell me to be humble and treat people like they want to be treated, even if they're being mean. If you're nice to them, they feel bad for having said something bad about you.''---Hilton EntertainmentWeekly December 5, 2003

In June 2007 British reggae band UB40 started legal action against Hilton and Warner Chappell Music for plagiarism due to similarities between the song "Stars Are Blind" and their 1990 song "Kingston Town".

In March 2007, the Los Angeles City's Attorney's Office claimed that Hilton violated the terms of her DUI probation, asking for 45 days in jail. According to the prosecutors' motion, Hilton violated at least three conditions of her probation; she was pulled over driving at 70 mph without her headlights on in a 35 mph zone, she was found driving with a suspended license, and she violated the terms of her probation by failing to enroll in a court-ordered alcohol education program within 21 days of her January probation.

It's not about the fame, really," says Hilton. "Years from now, I would just want people to say, 'She was young. She was a crazy girl for a while or whatever, but then she married and had a great big family. She was good to people and did a lot for the world. And that she was a nice person."---Hilton quoted in Movieline's Hollywood Life June 2004

On May 4, 2007 Hilton was sentenced to 45 days in jail for violating her probation, and was required to begin her jail term June 5, 2007 or risk a doubling of her sentence. On June 3, 2007, after attending the 2007 MTV Movie Awards, Hilton checked herself into an all female jail in Lynwood, California. Hilton was scheduled to serve only 23 days of her 45 day sentence pending good behavior.

On June 7, 2007 Hilton was outfitted with a ankle monitoring bracelet and released from jail to serve 40 days of house arrest due to unspecified medical reasons.

On the morning of June 8, 2007, Los Angeles City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo and Judge Michael Sauer ordered Hilton back to court. She was sent back to jail to serve the remainder of her sentence, and was taken out of the courtroom crying and screaming.

Paris Hilton was arrested in Hollywood early September 7, 2006 on suspicion of drunk driving. She was later charged with two misdemeanors - driving under the influence and driving with a blood-alcohol level of .08 or higher; She pled no contest to a alcohol-related reckless driving charge. She was placed on 36 months' probation and ordered to pay fines of about $1,500.
