Paris was born to Rick and Kathy Hilton and into a family fortune. She dropped out of high school (Dwight School) early and succeeded in breaking into the model/acting world. First working as a fashion model for the Italian label Iceberg and now has been in everything from commercials to movies.

Since first appearing in minor roles in films such as Uptown Girls and Raising Helen, she has finally grasped a lead role in National Lampoon’s Pledge This! which is due to come out sometime in 2005. Her more famous roles have most certainly come from the small screen, in the form of the FOX Reality series The Simple Life. Debuting in 2003 with co-star and former friend Nicole Richie (now being replaced by Kimberly Stewart) the show has been a hit. Most of the instant success should definitely be attributed to her infamous sex tape with Rick Salomon which hit the internet shortly after the show’s debut. She has clearly not even begun her announcing a new project practically every month. Still to come will be her debut album entitled Paris is Burning (2006). She released her first book (Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose) in 2004 and a second is currently on its way.

• Christina Aguilera, Eminem, Lindsay Lohan, Snoop Dogg, Andy Roddick, and the list goes on of the phone numbers hacked from Paris Hilton's address book. How was her account hacked you ask? Well simply by guessing the password security question she chose (What is you favorite pet's name?) anyone could access her account.
