You should know that Paris Hilton has the most beautiful porta-potty in all of Beverly Hills. It has gleaming wood panels in the stalls and steaming hot water in the sink, and the hand soap is from Aesop and costs $47.

The whole thing is extremely on-brand for Hilton, the 45-year-old avatar of luxury living whose hair remains the color of Malibu sand and whose résumé boasts more jobs than Barbie. These include—deep breath—addictive reality TV star, surprisingly capable pop singer, island-hopping DJ, nascent skin care CEO, dog mom turned actual mom, wildly successful perfume licensee, employer zero of Kim Kardashian, and congressional witness on behalf of exploited teens. Starting this week, Hilton’s gig roster also includes Old Navy muse, a job that Hilton swears aligns with her lifestyle of the very rich and very famous.

“I’m at Old Navy all the time, I really mean it,” she tells me from a film set in a sprawling mansion, which includes both a pool and a pond with paddle boats. (“Have you seen the turtles?!” she exclaims. “So cute.”) Hilton is here to film Old Navy’s summer campaign that also includes other reality royalty like the beloved Real Housewife Kathy Hilton (a.k.a. her mom) and the Summer House breakout babe Ciara Miller. Supervising the shoot is Zac Posen, the executive vice president of Gap Inc. and chief creative officer of Old Navy. Posen climbs out of an SUV at the top of the massive driveway and tells me about his first encounter with Hilton when they were both in high school.

“I was finally old enough to go out to clubs and parties,” he says. “She was always just so cool and so fun. She’s so smart, which people don’t discuss enough, but also, Paris was like the engine of any party. If she was there, you knew it would be the most fun night of your life. And that’s what we’re creating for the summer, inspired by Paris, really. Clothes that let you relax and just have the best time.” They’re also clothes with decidedly Y2K top notes—baby tees, handkerchief-hem skirts, cropped pastel sweatshirts—that nod to Hilton’s origins as the queen of the naughty aughties.

Here’s what Hilton told ELLE about her old and new style, advice for working with your mom, and memories of driving a getaway car with Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears. You know, just casual stuff.

You recently sat front row at the Gucci show in Milan. Now you’re shopping at Old Navy?
Actually, I always have! You know, I grew up going to the mall in L.A. and the Hamptons, so I’ve been buying their T-shirts and shorts and stuff for forever. I’ve always gone there.

There aren’t a ton of paparazzi shots of you at the mall. Do you use a secret entrance?
No, when I go, I always dress up in disguise: black wig, sweatsuit—and not, like, a bright pink sweatsuit, usually a gray one—sunglasses, hat pulled down really low. But sometimes people still figure it out and they’re like, “Paris?” And I try to put my finger to my lips, like it’s a fun secret. But you’re right, I can’t really just hang out at the mall, unfortunately, at least not as myself. If I just walked in with the pink everything and the blonde hair, it would be like Mickey Mouse at Disneyland. So I love to go undercover.

Are you good at it?
I’m great at it. I’ve had to do this for a long time.

Do you look at price tags when you’re shopping?
It depends. At Old Navy, the prices are so amazing it’s not really a concern. But if I’m somewhere where things are going to cost thousands of dollars, then yeah. Of course I do. I take value very, very seriously.

What’s your Old Navy haul right now?
I am a PJs girl. I’m a mom and I’m working all the time, but when I’m just chilling at home I love being cozy in PJs. I also love the Old Navy children’s line—there are so many cute things for the kids. And I love what Zac [Posen] has done with it. We’ve been friends since we were teenagers, so it’s really cool to be connecting in this way.

Zac said he based a lot of the new collection on your Y2K influence. You pioneered the pink tracksuit and the jelly shoes and the tiny denim mini kilts that girls are wearing again today. What’s it like to people on TikTok wearing “Paris Hilton-core” outfits?
It makes me so happy. They’ll come up to me like, “You’re the OG, you’re the reason I’m wearing this.” I always felt so ahead of my time in fashion—and I had no stylist, no publicist, no manager, no agent, nothing. I was just me going shopping, going downtown to Patricia Field in New York and all these cool stores, putting together looks during the New York socialite scene. No one was dressing like that. Some girls even made fun of me! Now seeing my pictures all over people’s mood boards for the big fashion shows with major labels—it’s awesome. I love being the OG and I love that I created Y2K fashion. I think it was the most fun era ever.

You had some great stuff, like the pink Murakami x Louis Vuitton cherry blossom bag and shoes, the pink Dior aviator shades, all those Matthew Williamson party dresses…and the bedazzled Uggs!
The bedazzled cell phone, too.

Paris Hilton appeared on Capitol Hill with Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday to promote a bill about AI-generated deep-fake porn. The Disrupt Explicit Forged Images and Non-Consensual Edits Act — DEFIANCE Act — would allow victims of these images to sue those who created and distributed them. After it passed unanimously in the Senate on January 13, Hilton showed up in Washington, D.C., to push for its passage in the House.

In a press conference, Hilton said the experience of having her sex tape leaked in 2004 inspired her to advocate for the bill. “When I was 19 years old, a private intimate video of me was shared with the world without my consent,” she said. “People called it a scandal. It wasn’t — it was abuse. There were no laws at the time to protect me. There weren’t even words for what had been done to me. The internet was still new, and so was the cruelty that came with it.”

“They sold my pain for clicks, and then they told me to be quiet, to move on, to even be grateful for the attention,” Hilton continued. “These people didn’t see me as a young woman who had been exploited. They didn’t see the panic that I felt, the humiliation or the shame. No one asked me what I lost — I lost control over my body, over my reputation. My sense of safety and self-worth was stolen from me.”

Hilton explained the parallels she sees between the aftermath of the leak and what women are now experiencing when sexually explicit AI-generated images are created and shared without their consent. “What happened to me then is happening now to millions of women and girls in a new and more terrifying way,” she said. “Before, someone had to betray your trust and steal something real. Now, all it takes is a computer and a stranger’s imagination. Deep-fake pornography has become an epidemic.”

In her remarks, Ocasio-Cortez said that she and many of the other lawmakers who have backed the bill have also been targeted with deep-fake porn of themselves. “Not only is this a coalition of legislators, this is a coalition of survivors, of sexual harassment and in some cases abuse and assault,” she said. “As a survivor of sexual assault, this resurfaces trauma for so many people across the country. And that is what it is intended to do, because the creation of this content parallels the same exact intention of physical rape and sexual assault, which is about power, domination, and humiliation. And while the images may be digital, the harm to victims is very real.”

It’s not clear when the House will vote on the DEFIANCE Act, but House Speaker Mike Johnson has signaled his support for the legislation. “I’m certainly in favor of it,” Johnson previously told The Independent. “We’ve got to find the vote tally, but that should be a big bipartisan concern. We need to protect children online, and we need to stop these abuses.”

It’s a Saturday afternoon in December and Paris Hilton is in New York City, walking along a huge lineup of fans, taking selfies with them in the freezing cold.

Hilton, one of the world’s most influential celebrities in the world, is here at the Times Square T-Mobile flagship store to unveil the new T‑Mobile and Baby Three limited-edition plush collaboration, the No Filter Series. There are eight different collectibles, and a cute vending machine in the T-Mobile store in Times Square, with exclusive drops at Alderwood Mall in the greater Seattle area, as well.

Her fan base is real. Hundreds lined up in freezing weather from the crack of dawn to get a photo with the star, who is widely recognized as the original influencer, but that is not where her accolades end. The entrepreneur brings her creative sparkle to every business she creates, from her line of 30 perfumes, to her own skincare line Parivie, to her media company, 11:11 Media, and much more.

“I am an OG T-Mobile lover; I have been doing things with them since I launched the Sidekick for them,” she said. In 2004, T-Mobile released an advertisement featuring Hilton alongside other celebrities promoting the Sidekick phone model.

Last month, she attended a T-Mobile event at the ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas posing by a T-Mobile branded Formula 1 race car at the Las Vegas Grand Prix. “It was so much fun to be with them in Las Vegas for Formula One, and now this collaboration is so cute,” said Hilton. “I love collectibles. I think it’s so fun. This collaboration with Baby Three and the blind boxes are something myself and my kids are in love with.” She attached one to her rhinestone-clad purse.

According to Vogue, Y2K maximalism is back and there’s something nostalgic about Y2K bag charms, like with this collaboration. With Hilton as a Y2K fashion trailblazer—just look at her wearing Juicy Couture track suits, she’s excited to see its resurgence.

“I love it because I feel like I’ve always been so ahead of my time, especially with my fashion,” she said. “It’s so much fun to see so many of my looks I’ve worn, my style and aesthetic recreated all over the runway and social media. This collab reminds me of Y2K fashion because I used to have so many collectible, cute bag charms.”

Pink was a huge color in Y2K fashion, and nobody has worn pink quite like Hilton. “Pink is a lifestyle,” she said. “I just feel like I’ve loved pink ever since I was a little girl. I was Barbiecore before anyone was. And it’s so fun just to see so many people embracing it. I think it’s just a color that just uplifts your mood and makes everyone happy and everything looks better in pink.”

Next up, Hilton will release her new documentary film, Infinite Icon: A Visual Memoir, in theaters on January 30. The music-focused film follows the release of her second album, “Infinite Icon,” gearing up to her performance at the Hollywood Palladium, and her DJ career. Hilton said music “saved my life” following her abuse in troubled teen treatment facilities in the early 2000s.

“It’s such a powerful film, and I’m so proud of it,” she said. “While I was shooting it, I realized how much music has saved my life in so many ways. I was going through so many things in my life, and the one thing that would make me escape and feel so much love and energy is music.”

“Especially now,” she adds, “performing music is part of the film. Just reflecting on my life, I really see this film as a third part of a trilogy; the first being my first documentary This Is Paris, then going even deeper with my memoir, and now through this film, where it’s really through the lens of music. I’ve done a lot of projects in my life, but this one is one of the ones I’m most proud of.”

Hilton began DJing in 2012 with her first live set at the Pop Music Festival in São Paulo, Brazil, and has performed at major clubs around the world ever since. She was first met with skepticism when she started to DJ over a decade ago but has since proved herself otherwise.

“I’ve dealt with that so much of my career, where I created this character with The Simple Life, and people would just think, ‘she’s just a blonde airhead,’ just thinking that that was who I really was,” said Hilton. “But now I love that I’ve shown the world who I truly am, and I’ve proved so many people wrong, and one thing I love is being underestimated and proving people wrong, always.”

She recognizes that certain industries, like the DJ industry, is a boy’s club. “To be able to open the lane for other women and now seeing that there’s so many other girl DJs who are just slaying it, I think it’s great when you can take risks and do what you love,” said Hilton.

When she isn’t DJing or recording albums or documentaries (lets not forget her Peacock series, Paris in Love, from 2021), she is running 11:11 Media in Los Angeles, a media content company valued at $1 billion with 30 employees, which she co-founded with Emmy Award-winning media executive, Bruce Gersh.

“I’m involved in every sector; film, television, audio, building IP, licensing products, metaverse, we do it all,” said Hilton. “Just to use my platform to uplift and empower women and stories that need to be told and really shine a light on so many important things that are happening in the world.”

It’s what she calls “bringing that sparkle” to moments in life. “I feel like the world needs more of that kindness, authenticity, and standing up for what’s right,” she explains.

“Shining a spotlight on people, artists, children and issues that are happening around the world that matter, make the world a better, sparkly place,” said Hilton.

She runs a nonprofit called 11:11 Media Impact which is focused on making a change in the world and inspiring others to do the same. The nonprofit helped raise $1.2 million to support displaced families from Los Angeles fires, launched $1 million in grants for female owned small businesses impacted by the wildfires, has partnered with UNICEF for a mission in Romania, launched a campaign for ADHD Awareness month in October, and more.

Her 2024 autobiography Paris: A Memoir is a New York Times bestseller and will be turned into a scripted series with A24. “I can’t wait,” said Hilton. It will star the Fanning sisters, Elle and Dakota Fanning.

Next up, she is in the music studio finishing up her third album and she will be going on tour in 2026. Hilton just shot her 32nd fragrance campaign. “That one is going to be coming out in a few months,” she notes. Her skincare line, Parivie, will launch new products next year.

Both her memoir, Paris: A Memoir and her 2020 documentary This is Paris detail her abuse allegations while in a youth treatment facility she stayed in for 11 months when she was 17. She wasn’t alone, and launched the Breaking Code Silence movement, calling for accountability in the troubled teen industry, starting with protests in 2020, leading to legislative change.

“My advocacy work is ongoing; I just passed 15 state laws and passed two federal bills to protect children,” she said. “This is a global issue, so not just in the States. I want children all over the world to be protected. So, I’m going to continue using my voice to help them because they don’t have anyone to speak for them.”

She didn’t plan to speak about her traumatic experiences as a teen. “It wasn’t even the original premise of the film,” she recalls. “I became close with the director, and I started opening up to her. And I said, this is something that happened to me. It’s so traumatic. And she’s like, well, it’s happening still. And now it’s a $28 billion a year industry with hundreds of thousands of children going into these places, and so many horrible things are happening. If you say something, you could help change that.”

“I thought about it, and I realized that in life things happen, and maybe I was always meant to be the hero I needed when I was a little girl,” said Hilton. “It’s just been the most meaningful work of my life, and I’m so proud that it started a whole movement. It really is going to affect millions of children’s lives and help save them.”

In ELLE’s series Office Hours, we ask people in powerful positions to take us through their first jobs, worst jobs, and everything in between. This month, we spoke with Paris Hilton. You may know her from the early aughts reality show The Simple Life and coining iconic phrases like “That’s hot,” but Hilton is also a mother, entrepreneur, and child’s rights advocate through her nonprofit organization, 11:11 Media Impact. While the world once watched her quit a job by saying, “Bye gorgeous,” the multi-hyphenate is now dispensing her actual best (and worst) career advice, plus the impetus behind her new skin care line, Parívie, launching May 19.

My first job
I moved to New York City as a teenager and was a model. I loved walking in all the runway shows, shooting campaigns, and meeting people like David LaChapelle and creating incredible art with him. It was just so much fun to move from LA, where I had lived this very sheltered life, to New York City to follow my dreams.

My best job
Being a mom. I’ve done and accomplished so much in my life that I’m proud of, but being a mom is the most fulfilling job that there is.

My worst job
On The Simple Life, when Nicole [Richie] and I worked at this dairy farm. It was the first job that we had when we moved to Arkansas for the show. It was really a lot. It made me never want to drink milk again. Getting the milk from cows is pretty gross, so that’s why I drink oat milk.

My dream job
An art teacher. I love art, so I think that it would be a lot of fun to teach an arts and crafts class. I guess I do already. It’s not like a school, but when the kids come over with their cousins, I’ll do art days. We’ll paint together, glue little cute things, and make collages. I just love being around kids, and I love art.

The best career advice I’ve ever gotten
My grandmother always instilled so much confidence in me and made me believe in myself. She told me to never dim my sparkle, to always go for my dreams, and to work hard. Being around her made me the woman that I am today.

The worst career advice I’ve ever gotten
My mom told me not to do The Simple Life. My parents and Nicole’s parents both told us not to do it. It was like the first reality show, so she didn’t know what to expect. Then the night after the show ran, my mom called me and said, “You know, I’m never wrong, but [I was]. The show is the most hilarious and amazing [thing] I’ve ever watched. I’m so proud of you girls.”

Why I created my own skin care brand, Parívie
I have always been obsessed with skin care. I’ve tried every single type of product. I wanted to create something that really worked, that had a whole system with incredible ingredients, perfect texture, but was also backed by science with amazing results. In my career, I’ve always been 10 steps ahead, so I wanted to put all of that into creating the skin care line of my dreams.

My wellness routine
I built a spa in my house called the Sliving Spa. I have all of the most high-end, medical-grade equipment like hyperbaric chambers, cryotherapy chambers, red light therapy beds, and Hydrafacial machines. It’s epic, and it’s all pink. Then we have Parívie all over as well. It’s a place that I love to go to relax and just get ready, because I’m constantly on and working every single day.

Paris Hilton and Carter Reum want their second wedding anniversary to be all about family.

While chatting exclusively with PEOPLE about her upcoming “Be an Icon” kitchen and home collection with Walmart, the businesswoman, 42, also opens up about how she and Reum, 42, plan to mark two years of wedded bliss.

Noting that she is still “trying to figure out” final plans, Hilton says she and Reum want to go to the Maldives and vacation at the Waldorf Astoria with their baby son, 8-month-old Phoenix Barron.

“That’s going to be our family tradition, because we had our honeymoon there, and then our first wedding anniversary, and I want to make it a yearly family tradition,” she explains.

Adds Hilton: “We’re just trying to figure everything out because [our son’s] so little, and it’s very far away. But that property is just so epic, and it’s such a magical place, and I know that he would love it so much since he loves going in the water and being on the beach.”

Hilton and Reum first met when they were in their 20s and later reconnected in 2019 thanks to Reum’s sister, Halle Hammond, who invited both the entrepreneur and The Simple Life star over for Thanksgiving that year, when they hit it off.

“I’ve known him for 15 years,” Hilton previously told PEOPLE. “Then [Reum’s sister Halle Hammond] invited us to Thanksgiving and we just had this incredible chemistry. We had our first date and haven’t spent a night apart since. It’s pretty amazing.”

While vacationing on a private island for Hilton’s 40th birthday, Reum proposed to the star, and the pair then wed in November 2021 during a lavish ceremony and reception at Hilton’s late grandfather’s former Bel Air home.

The wedding festivities continued with a neon carnival-themed party at the Santa Monica Pier the next day, and with another formal dinner the following evening.

ack in August, Hilton celebrated her 45-month anniversary with Reum through a selection of photos shared on Instagram.

“This week was our 45th month anniversary 💗,” she captioned a series of images, before asking fans: “What should we do for our wedding anniversary on 11/11 this year?? #Love.”

In the carousel of shots, Hilton and Reum could be seen cuddling together in a hammock in one image, as another photograph showed the duo smiling together on a boat.

“I’m the luckiest guy in the world to be your teammate and best friend ❤️❤️,” Reum wrote in the comments section of Hilton’s post.

“The sparkle you bring my life is unmatched ✨,” the proud husband added.

Paris Hilton and husband Carter Reum don’t plan to stop at just one baby.

The “Stars Are Blind” singer, 42, and her entrepreneur husband had embryos frozen during COVID, she explained to Glamour UK as she appeared on the cover of their latest digital issue.

“Carter and I had already been talking about the future, and then the world was shut down, so I was like, ‘What do you think about us making embryos?’ ” she told the outlet of the process. “And he said, ‘Yeah, let’s do it.’ ”

Of the embryos the couple made, they have successfully frozen 20 embryos, Hilton revealed — all boys.

“And we’ve done it seven times,” Hilton continued. “I have all boys. I have 20 boys.”

Being their desire to add a baby girl to the family, they are continuing to make embryos hoping for a little girl.

“I just went through the process again a month ago, so I’m waiting for the results to see if there’s any girls,” Hilton candidly shared.

During an interview with PEOPLE in December at The Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment Gala, the Love Rush fragrance founder discussed the couple’s decision to start the in-vitro fertilization (IVF) process during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We started going and doing it like a few months in because the world was shut down,” she told PEOPLE. “We knew we wanted to start a family, and I was like, ‘This is perfect timing. Usually I’m on a plane 250 days out of the year, and let’s just get all of the eggs stocked and ready,’ and we have tons of them just waiting.”

Still, the This Is Paris star said the pair wanted to give themselves some time after they wed in November 2021.

“We really wanted to enjoy our first year of marriage together as a couple, you know, before bringing kids into the mix,” she said. “So now that we just had our year anniversary, I can’t wait for 2023.”

The businesswoman and Reum welcomed their first baby together, son Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum, via surrogate last month.

“It’s always been my dream to be a mother and I’m so happy that Carter and I found each other,” the new mom told PEOPLE exclusively. “We are so excited to start our family together and our hearts are exploding with love for our baby boy.”

On December 1, 2003 – the day before her reality show The Simple Life premiered on US television – Paris Hilton was taken aside by her mother, Kathy.

“She said to me: ‘Tomorrow, when this airs on television, your life is going to change forever’,” Hilton recalls. “I want you to remember to remain the same down-to-earth person you are, never let this go to your head and never change.

“And that’s something I have held in my heart ever since. I’ve seen a lot of people come and go, and I have seen a lot of people let it go to their head. I have never been one of those people, I have always remained the same person.”

The 41-year-old influencer, a great-granddaughter of Hilton Hotels founder Conrad Hilton, spoke to The Sun-Herald and The Sunday Age on the set of a new ad campaign for Uber Eats which, like many brands, sees value in leveraging her audience: 18.7 million on Instagram, 16.9 million on Twitter and 6 million on TikTok.

When Hilton moved into social media in 2009, the industry was in its infancy. Last year, she consolidated her business into a single production company, 11:11 Media, which produces audio, television and digital content, product licensing and branding, music and art, including digital non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

It is, she says, what a multi-platform A-game looks like in 2022. “That’s why I built it,” Hilton says. “It’s important to be on all these platforms and to take it seriously. I love making content, and you have to get the most out of every single thing you do.

“I always prided myself on being innovative and being the first at doing things. I love that something I did before there was even a name for it is now an occupation – a form of celebrity that any kid in their living room with a talent or a passion and an iPhone can put on social media.

“There’s good and bad that comes with that because I think there is a lot of pressure, too, particularly for girls,” Hilton says. “But if you use social media in a good way, in positive ways, and you do something positive with your brand, then it’s a good thing.”

Hilton says she prefers to work with brands she uses in her life: “When I got the call about this [she gestures to the set for the Uber Eats commercial she is filming], I was like, ‘yes, I use this’. And to be working with the Irwin family [Robert and Bindi Irwin also appear in the ad], I felt really aligned with my own brand.”

In her podcast, I Am Paris, she tackles subjects she thinks do not have enough mainstream media attention. In her conversation with actor Amy Schumer, for example, the pair talked about the autism spectrum, therapy and cancel culture.

“What I love about the podcast is having my voice,” Hilton says. “I feel like growing up in the early 2000s, the media treated me – and Britney Spears and a lot of those girls – really unfairly. I feel like [with the podcast], I can tell the truth and speak about what I want to speak about. It’s powerful to have that voice.”

Hilton has also taken on a very personal cause: the abuse of students in America’s private “behavioural” education system. Hilton was a victim of such abuse herself, she says, revealing in the 2020 documentary, This Is Paris, she had been subjected to strip searches, force-fed medication, watched in the shower and confined in isolation as punishment.

Hilton’s production company produces a podcast series, Trapped in Treatment, hosted by abuse survivor Caroline Cole and investigator Rebecca Mellinger. And now, Hilton, having successfully campaigned in several US states for new laws protecting teenagers in private schools with behavioural and mental health issues, is taking her crusade to Washington, DC.

“Everything happens for a reason, and maybe I had to go through that, and maybe I was given this gift so that I could use my voice and make a difference, to stop it from happening to other children,” Hilton says. “In a way, this is my mission in life now. And it’s the thing that has the most meaning because I am making an impact.

“My whole life, it’s been a lot of fun and I’ve done a lot of stuff: The Simple Life, all that, and playing a character,” she says. “But that was just the fun part. This is something that’s really serious and making a difference in saving lives. That means everything to me.”

Hilton believes the public persona of Paris Hilton – the selfie-obsessed airhead – is one she created as a “coping mechanism” for the abuse she went through as a teenager at Provo Canyon School.

“It was just such a traumatic and horrible experience that I just didn’t ever want to think about it again,” she says.

“I think I invented this bubbly Barbie-type, perfect life fairytale, so I didn’t have to think about what had happened. And then it ended up being this whole brand, and then it became ‘me’, but it was never really me.

“I am actually a pretty shy person,” she says. “[This other persona] is a mask I wear … I’m just playing someone else. The real me is a lot more serious. I’m not a dumb blonde. I’m just very good at pretending to be one.”

It’s not unusual for stars to try their hand at cooking for our televised entertainment, but Paris Hilton heading into the kitchen in full glam (and gloves!) for Netflix’s Cooking With Paris promises to make the culinary experience hot(ter than ever).

Across six episodes, The Simple Life star teams up with celebrity pals to sauté, slice, and sear as she masters “exotic kitchen appliances” (there’s a “sparkly Swarovski crystal-covered spatula thing” in the mix) in a very glamorous attempt to bring us new recipes, entertaining tips — and even new words.

Ahead of Cooking With Paris premiering on the streaming service on Aug. 4, we asked Hilton some highly important, burning culinary questions.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Pick your desert-island food.
PARIS HILTON: A potato, because you could do mashed potatoes, french fries, potato chips, or a baked potato. You can make a lot of things out of it. I’m obsessed with McDonald’s french fries, so I’d try and copy those.

What three fictional guests would you invite to a dinner party?
Barbie, Tinker Bell from Peter Pan, and Ariel from The Little Mermaid. I’d make them cupcakes and angel food cake.

If you could have dinner with any three real people, dead or alive, who would they be?
Marilyn Monroe, Princess Diana, and Madonna. I’d make them penne with pink sauce.

What’s your favorite pop culture food moment?
My Carl’s Jr. commercial. I love it.

If you were to identify as a type of coffee, which would it be?
A vanilla latte.

Name a cooking utensil you can’t live without.
There’s so much cute stuff in my kitchen, [ but I’d say my sparkly Swarovski crystal-covered spatula thing.

Your favorite music to cook to…
Me, “Stars Are Blind.”

If you were in a food fight, what would be your weapon of choice?
The spiciest peppers made into a salsa. I’d throw it in their eyes.

Who is your favorite celebrity chef?
Me. I’m kidding. Martha Stewart.

If you could be a kind of cheese, which would you be?
I guess cheddar, because it’s my favorite.

Name a fashion accessory you can’t cook without.
I’ve always loved gloves for everything. It’s my vibe. My trademark. I think they look great for cooking — it’s just part of the brand.

When you think back on your childhood, what’s the best meal your mom [Real Housewives of Beverly Hills newcomer Kathy Hilton] made?
The thing she taught me that I love making the most is lasagna, but of course I have to change it to “sliving” [one of Hilton’s signature words, meaning slaying + living] lasagna — put a little Paris wisdom into it.

Name a condiment you can’t live without.
Ketchup. I love ketchup on everything.

Cooking With Paris premieres Aug. 4 on Netflix.

In Paris Hilton’s “This Is Paris,” the hotel heiress and entrepreneur says her work ethic is driven by money. She says she won’t slow down until she makes one billion dollars.

The doc, available on YouTube, was shot two years ago. Now, at age 40, Hilton tells me she truly feels that money isn’t everything.

“It was such a goal of mine before because I wasn’t happy in my personal life,” Hilton says on Tuesday’s episode of the “Just for Variety” podcast. “And also just going through what I went through, I always saw money as freedom and independence, and not being controlled. And I think that’s why I just had that as my focus in life. And now that I am so incredibly happy and in love in my personal life I’m not really interested in billions anymore. I’m more interested in babies.”

Hilton is engaged to venture capitalist Carter Reum. Their wedding planning will be chronicled in “Paris in Love,” an upcoming docuseries on Peacock. When “This Is Paris” premiered in September 2020, the former “Simple Life” star told Variety’s Angelique Jackson that she wasn’t interested in another reality series. “It’s not reality television,” Hilton insists of the Peacock project. “It’s a docuseries.”

By now, most of the world knows Hilton’s story. She was a rebellious debutante who became famous when she was just a teenager. A sex tape made her a ubiquitous punching bag for late-night hosts and social commentators. Controversy seemed to follow Hilton everywhere, even thought she was successfully launching her business “empire.” She’s branded everything from perfumes to hotels and has become a much in-demand DJ.

But underneath it all was a young girl in pain. Hilton revealed in “This Is Paris,” for the first time, that she was mentally and physically abused at the Provo Canyon School in Utah after being sent there by her parents when she was 16. She has since become an activist, pressing for legislation to regulate boarding schools. In April, she was on hand for a ceremonial bill signing in Utah that requires more oversight of youth treatment centers after she testified for its passage before lawmakers. “I totally felt like Elle Woods when I was speaking at the [Utah] senate,” Hilton says, referring to Reese Witherspoon’s iconic “Legally Blonde” character. “When I went and signed the bill with them I literally felt like I had that Elle Woods moment.”

Hilton also revealed in the doc that she was abused by at least four ex-boyfriends. She hasn’t named her alleged abusers, nor has she heard from any one of them. “I’ve changed my number so many times that they can’t get a hold of me, but I have had their friends reach out to me because they’re all nervous that I’m going to say their names,” Hilton says. “I think people are very nervous that they’ll be exposed.”

She then adds, “Maybe I will one day, but I’m not ready yet.”

In one of the most telling scenes in “This Is Paris,” she has a raging boyfriend — whom she had only been seeing for a couple of weeks — kicked out of the Tomorrowland music festival just as she was about to take the stage. “That was just a nightmare, having to deal with that at one of the most important shows of my life,” Hilton explains. “When people get insecure and jealous and weird, I just couldn’t take it anymore. And I’ve never stood up for myself before. That was the first time. It felt really good to be like, ‘Get the hell out of my life!’… I’m happy that I finally stood up for myself.”

She continues, “I’m sick of people using me. I’m just not going to have negative people in my life anymore. I’ve wasted too much time having bad people in my life who were only trying to use me.”

The doc, says Hilton, has been “the most healing experience” after suffering for more than two decades from insomnia and severe nightmares.

While she certainly isn’t shedding her public persona — the baby voice, the designer clothes, the over-the-top glam — Hilton is learning to live with her true self. “I’m still very playful at heart,” she says. “I can be a serious businesswoman when I’m in the boardroom and then I can also be fun and playful because I’m just very childlike.”

Paris Hilton is putting her feelings for her boyfriend, Carter Reum, into song.

The 39-year-old heiress released a new dance track on Friday with Lodato called “I Blame You,” which is dedicated to him. Hilton sings in the upbeat tune, “Ever since I met you / Can’t forget you / Always with you / Kinda feel like I’m alive / As if I’m healing / Started breathing / And I’m feeling / All these things for the first time.” Hilton also sings in the chorus, “I feel good, I feel good / I blame you, I blame you.”

“I Blame You” is available for purchase and streaming across all platforms, Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, etc. All the proceeds from the song are going to Breaking Code Silence, a movement organized by a network of survivors and activists to raise awareness of the problems in the Troubled Teen Industry, and the need for reform.

The cause is personal to Hilton. In her recent YouTube documentary, This Is Paris, she said she was still coping from trauma from Provo Canyon School, a therapeutic boarding school for troubled teens, which she attended in the late 1990s. Hilton claimed she and other students suffered physical and mental abuse from the staff at her boarding school, including beatings, solitary confinement, and forced medication. (In statements to multiple outlets, a representative for the Provo Canyon School has said, “Originally opened in 1971, Provo Canyon School was sold by its previous ownership in August 2000. We therefore cannot comment on the operations or patient experience prior to this time.“)

It’s clearly a busy time for Hilton. Aside from dropping her new song, Kim Kardashian West’s latest SKIMS campaign for the upcoming velour collection featuring Hilton also launched on Friday. The two women — who have a long history together, given Kardashian West was Hilton’s former assistant — sport head-to-toe velour outfits in paparazzi-style photos reminiscent of their early 2000s days.

Meanwhile, all appears to be going well in Hilton’s personal life as well. News broke in January that Hilton was dating Reum, an entrepreneur and best-selling author of Shortcut Your Startup: Speed Up Success With Unconventional Advice From the Trenches. ET spoke with Hilton last month, and she called Reum her “perfect match.”

“He really is just so incredible — supportive, loyal, kind, brilliant, and I look up to him so much,” she said. “He is always giving me business advice and is so caring and romantic. We just have the best time together.”

“I was never really open to a relationship, because I wasn’t ready to open my heart, just because of what I’ve been through,” she added. “I never had let anyone fully in until now, and I am just so excited for that next step and to get married and have babies and just finally be as happy as I always wished.”

This year, she also said she was working on prioritizing her happiness.

“This is the first time where I’ve actually had to pause and really reflect on my life and what matters, and I’m in the most incredible relationship, I’m so happy, and I’m just ready for the next phase of my life,” she shared. “I’m definitely gonna still do my business, but I do wanna slow down in the traveling and working 24/7, ’cause I have more important things I’m focusing on.”

To hear her tell it, nobody’s more in on the joke than Paris Hilton. The heiress first rose to stardom in the early aughts, cementing herself as a baby voiced, velour tracksuit-wearing take on the dumb blonde trope — with her own catchphrase (“That’s hot”) to boot.

“I invented this character and I knew exactly what I was doing,” Hilton tells Bustle of the persona she adopted in the public eye and proudly embodied on her 2003 reality show The Simple Life. “So I was always laughing all the way to the bank.” Which is why when she dropped her single “Stars Are Blind” off her debut album Paris in 2006, people were so… surprised. Unlike the music released by reality stars who came in her stead — think Kim Kardashian’s “Jam,” or Heidi Montag’s “Higher” — it wasn’t a forgettable vanity single. “Stars Are Blind” was well produced and felt authentically Hilton. It was also a bonafide bop. “For the music it was never really about the character, it was more about me as an artist. When I do my music, I take it seriously,” she explains.

As a critic for Complex put it, Hilton’s reggae-infused song “was like a tropical escape from her tabloid headline persona.” It was “a flash in the pan, a fluke, but an incredible one.” The production was so perfect, the writing so spot-on, it made you feel like your crush was rubbing suntan lotion on your back.

Written and produced by Fernando Garibay, who went on to work with Lady Gaga on Born This Way, “Stars Are Blind” rose to No. 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 2006. Nearly 15 years later, the song’s legacy endures, with pop star Kim Petras performing a viral cover earlier this year and Urban Outfitters releasing limited edition LPs of Paris.

“That song is such a huge part of me, my brand, and my life,” Hilton says. “Any time I walk into a club or anywhere, the DJ always puts it on. If I was a song, that would be me.” Below, Hilton reflects on the cult classic track, from its “too sexy” for American audiences music video to the role it plays in her current relationship.

What made you decide to get into music with “Stars Are Blind”? How were you feeling about your life and career at the time of the song’s release?
I always loved music ever since I was around 3 years old. I played the violin, the piano, and I sang my entire life. Then when I was shooting The Simple Life, I got approached by a lot of different record labels and it was always my dream to be a singer. So I went in the studio and did that album and it was so much fun.

At what point in the process did you start working on “Stars Are Blind?” Did you know you had a hit on your hands when you were recording it?
[At first] Warner Bros. wanted me to do a rock album. So I remade “Heart of Glass” by Blondie. I remade this Kim Carnes song, “Bette Davis Eyes,” and it was a lot of pop/rock music. Then I ended up changing the direction of the album completely. I went to Miami and met with [producer] Scott Storch, and then I started redoing the album and doing more pop and hip hop. Then during the middle of the album they sent me “Stars Are Blind,” and I immediately knew that I had a huge hit on my hands.

During the first week of Paris’ release, Banksy replaced 500 copies of the album with an alternative version that included satirical songs like “Why Am I Famous?” and an updated cover that was a photo of you topless. Do you remember how you found out about it? How did you feel at the time when you did?
Banksy is an iconic artist and I thought it was really cool that he would take that time to go and get 500 of my albums and do that to them. I’ve actually been trying to buy one. [They] keep on going up for auction and I’m trying to wait for another one [to become available] because they’re very limited edition. But I thought it was awesome that he did that.

So you weren’t offended?
I’ve always been in on the joke. So anytime anyone would ever [talk] about that character, it didn’t bother me because I knew that I was putting it on.

By all accounts, the song was a commercial and critical success. How did it feel to be validated in that way, especially given the less positive response to your other projects like The Simple Life?
It makes me feel really proud. Even to this day, especially during the summertime, everyone is like, “Oh my God! That’s my summer song.” So many people have come up to me, even Madonna, just saying how they love that song. Lady Gaga and so many people say it’s one of their favorite pop songs. It makes me feel so happy when I hear that.

Let’s talk about the music video. In interviews about This Is Paris, you’ve discussed how hard it was for you to cede creative control of the documentary because you’re so used to controlling everything. How much of a hand did you have in the artistic vision for the “Stars Are Blind” video?
With every single music video I’ve done I’m there making the mood boards, basically just coming up with the whole concept, and I’m involved like 100%. [With this], it was very sexy. I was really inspired by George Michael’s [“A Different Corner”] video — the black and white one — and we just had just a lot of really iconic photos up on the mood board like Madonna pictures.

You later recorded a second version of the video where in the end you end up stealing your lover’s car. Why create an alternative version?
Because they said it was too sexy for America. So we ended up making [the original] the European version. [At first] the whole video before was just basically us on the beach. So we had to kind of tone it down and make a little bit more of a storyline.

How did you feel about that criticism?
I’m used to it. The same thing happened with my Carl’s Jr commercial when that came out. It was a Super Bowl commercial and they banned it because they said it was too sexy for TV. So I don’t know. I didn’t think it was too risqué, either of those, I thought they were really beautifully done.

What’s your favorite cover of “Stars Are Blind?”
Miley Cyrus sent me one that she did, which was so beautiful. It wasn’t released, she just texted it to me. [She played it] on the guitar and she was just singing it in her beautiful voice. It made me cry. I was like, “This is so sweet of you to send this.” Then Kim Petras posted one recently that I thought she just did a beautiful job with it.

Between the Kim Petras cover and the original’s presence in the upcoming film Promising Young Woman, there’s a cultural resurgence brewing around the song. What does that mean to you?
I am just so proud of the woman I am and everything I’ve been through and just happy to finally get the respect that I deserve.

Have you gotten to see an early screening of the film? Bo Burnham serenades Carey Mulligan with the song, it’s iconic.
I met the director [Emerald Fennell] at a party and she came up to me and said, “Thank you so much. I didn’t think we would get this song and it’s just the perfect song for the movie.” She invited me to the premiere, but then COVID happened so everything got pushed so I haven’t seen it yet. But everyone who’s seen it has said that it’s the part they remember the most in the movie.

Do you ever include “Stars Are Blind” in your DJ sets?
I always end the whole set with “Stars Are Blind.” I’ll get on top of the DJ booth and sing it live for everyone, and everyone in the whole room is just singing all the words and knows it by heart.

No matter where you are in the world?
Yes. It’s pretty crazy.

Do you listen to the song in your personal life?
I listen to it all the time and every morning when I’m getting ready, my boyfriend [Carter Reum] plays the whole album and that’s the first song he plays. So I listen to it every day.

Oh my god.
That’s our favorite song to make out to, it’s just like our love playlist.

So you consider it a good hookup song?
It’s a really good one.

NEW YORK – There’s a scene in a new documentary about Paris Hilton, where the so-called socialite is speaking with former classmates from a Utah boarding school. They joke about how on her reality series “The Simple Life,” Hilton pretended to be clueless over many things- including how to perform any sort of manual labour.

One bluntly described it as “some straight-up (expletive),” as they all laughed.

“I don’t think you had like a high-pitch voice back then,” was another observation.

None of this is a surprise to Hilton. What’s revealed in “This is Paris,” which debuted for free Monday on Hilton’s YouTube channel, is that the ultra glam, baby-talking young woman whose standard line was “that’s hot,” was a manufactured caricature not just for fame but self-protection, too.

Hilton says as a teen she got into the nightlife scene and would sneak out and go to clubs while her family lived at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York. Her exasperated parents sent her away to various programs to straighten out. There was an outdoor wilderness camp where Hilton and another girl tried to escape. Hilton claims they were caught and beaten in front of others as punishment.

When she was 17, Hilton was finally sent to what she describes as “the worst of the worst”: Provo Canyon School in Utah.

“This is the only place where it’s impossible to run away. So it’s basically like that one place that they all talk about at the other places saying, `If you run away or you’re bad, you’re going to be sent to Provo,”’ said Hilton.

She stayed at Provo for 11 months and says while there, she was abused mentally and physically, claiming staff would beat her, force her to take unknown pills, watch her shower and send her to solitary confinement without clothes as punishment.

The 39-year-old says the treatment was so “traumatizing” that she suffered nightmares and insomnia for years.

“We are aware of a new documentary referencing Provo Canyon School (PCS). Please note that PCS was sold by its previous ownership in August 2000. We therefore cannot comment on the operations or patient experience prior to that time,” the school said in a statement on its website.

Attempts to find the previous owners for comment were unsuccessful.

Hilton says when she agreed to be the subject of “This is Paris,” it was never her intention to speak about past abuses, but she opened up as she became more comfortable with director Alexandra Dean.

Hilton said while she was at Provo, she decided she wanted complete control in her life and image. That meant she would never tell anyone about what happened to her there. She also wanted to be very, very wealthy.

“I saw success as freedom and I just imagined this glamorous life. .. I made all these plans of what I wanted to be. And all I cared about was being successful and independent.”

For someone who has been criticized for being famous for no reason, Hilton has built a multi-billion dollar company around her image. She has branded stores in the Middle East and Asia, is a successful DJ, and has released 27 fragrances, among other products.

“It turns out that whole machine, all that attention she got, the paparazzi, the insta-fame, it was all a creation of this traumatized girl trying to figure out how to climb her way out of this hole she was in,” said Dean. “She attracted it all. In some ways she created it all. What I want people to know is that they should give her credit for being immensely innovative, but they should also understand that what they watched was not the person, but the shield that she constructed to protect herself.”

Hilton says since speaking out about what happened at Provo, she feels free. She’s now sleeping through the night and no longer has nightmares. She also says she’s happy and in a healthy relationship with businessman Carter Reum.

Her life has slowed down in the past six months due to the pandemic, and she’s no longer travelling for work. Hilton says she likes it this way and plans to continue to be more choosy about leaving home. “I’m moving on to the next phase of my life,” she said.

She’s also hopeful that speaking out against programs like Provo will deter parents from sending their kids to similar situations.

“I would never recommend that to any family ever, because I think it just causes more drama and more issues than anyone would ever have.” She’s now a part of the Breaking Code Silence movement, a network dedicated to raising awareness about the “troubled teen industry.”

“The parents are manipulated and lied to and told a completely different story,” she said. “I think it’s important to do your research.”

Following a friend’s advice! Paris Hilton has been “inspired” by Kim Kardashian to freeze her eggs.

“I think every woman should do it because you can really control it and not have that ‘Oh my God, I need to get married’ [mindset],” the singer, 39, told Britain’s Sunday Times on Sunday, August 23. “I’m obsessed with dressing them up. I want … twins, because then you get [a girl and a boy] at once.”

The New York native went on to say that she wants to have a “mini-me.”

The former reality star became an aunt in 2016 when her sister, Nicky Hilton, gave birth to Lily, now 4, followed by Teddy, now 2, the following year.

“I think she’ll be an incredible mother,” the fashion designer, 36, exclusively told Us Weekly of her younger sister in October 2019. “Paris is like a big kid herself. So I think she’ll be an amazing mother one day.”

Nicky added, “[My daughters] just think she’s, like, a doll. When she visits New York, I’ll take them over to her loft, and they’ll just look at her dolls and her trinkets and her figurines and then the little dogs, and they just are in heaven.”

Paris, who is currently dating Carter Reum, celebrated their 1st anniversary in April. “Happy Anniversary, my love,” the Simple Life alum captioned a PDA picture via Instagram at the time. “My favorite thing to do is make memories with you. Your kisses are magical. I love being yours and knowing you’re mine.”

Us confirmed in January that she and the Shortcut Your Startup author, 39, were dating. A source told Us the pair were “extremely serious,” adding, “Carter is very down to earth and comes from a very solid family. A proposal and wedding could happen very quickly.”

The socialite was previously engaged to The Leftovers alum Chris Zylka. The former couple dated for two years before splitting in November 2018.

“Paris realized that it wasn’t meant to be and he wasn’t right for her,” a source told Us after the exes called off their engagement. “There were some problems along the way. She’s done.”

In April, the “Stars Are Blind” singer called the breakup “the best decision” she’s ever made, explaining to Cosmopolitan U.K.: “I just don’t think [he] was the right person and I feel like I’m an incredible woman and I deserve someone so amazing.

Paris Hilton is many things, but nobody really thought she would ever become an art star. The iconic reality TV personality, who is the original influencer, not to mention DJ, beauty mogul and perfume-preneur, has been painting her way through quarantine.

Her artwork, I Dream Of Paris, is on view at the Corey Helford Gallery in Los Angeles until Friday, which is part of the Onch-curated group show entitled Sweet Sixteen. Her painting is going to be auctioned off to benefit the Starlight Children’s Foundation and Hilton will invite the winner to have dinner at her home (the bidding ends tomorrow and current bids are at $52,000).

“I’m so proud to make a beautiful piece of art to raise funds for the Starlight Foundation, a charity that helps children and is so close to my heart,” Hilton tells Forbes.

“The importance of being a philanthropist is something that has been instilled in me since I was a little,” she says. “I feel so blessed in life and it’s so important to give back.”

Hilton, as always, has a lot going on. Her forthcoming YouTube Originals documentary “This is Paris,” premieres September 14 on her YouTube channel. She recently announced, too, that she’s also working on her second book, which will dish on how to be a #BossBabe, a guide for women entrepreneurs.

But an artist? Nobody would have thought. It all started this past April when Hilton showed off some of her paintings (and paintings in progress) as part of a studio tour released on YouTube. She featured a piece with a painterly rainbow background, a painting of her boyfriend’s mother’s cat, a piece featuring rows of emojis (from heart eyes to an emoji listening to headphones). It’s all as saccharine as a Marilyn Minter photograph, optimistic like a cartoonish Kaws character and somewhat comically familiar, like a Ron English painting.

When did she become a visual artist, exactly? “I have loved art my whole life,” says Hilton. “I have been an artist since I was a little girl.”

It seems that now she is finally able to bare her soul to the public through social media by letting us into her studio. “I have built an art room in every home I’ve ever owned,” she says. “It’s so important for me to have that space in my house to be creative.”

Hilton is, without a doubt, a pop artist. By using imagery we’d find in the media, whether it’s Sonic the Hedgehog to diamond jewelry and emojis, there’s the same kind of cultural sampling she uses as a DJ to fuse together a set. Except in the past, pop art, which saw its rise in America and the U.K. through the 1950s, was predominatly dominated by men, like Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist and Andy Warhol. Even the female pop artists today, like Yayoi Kusama and Martha Rosler have only been acclaimed much later in life. It signals a shift we’re seeing, post #MeToo.

Hilton’s paintings are somewhat of mood boards, or even dream boards, where you lay out everything you want in life onto a surface, like a visual collection of goals, dreams and wishes. Hilton’s own artworks represent the visualization and realization of her own dreams.

“My I Dream Of Paris piece represents the dreams and goals I had for myself when I was young,” said Hilton. “It is almost like a mood board of everything I aspired to have or be like when I grew up.”

While it’s a two-dimensional artwork, it combines three dimensional elements. With collaged photos, magazine cut-outs, plastic toys, crystal rhinestones, as well as metallic and acrylic charms, it truly is a wild trip to every shelf in an art supply store.

“I love going to Michael’s Art Supply Store and Blick,” says Hilton. “I find my best fun sparkly objects on Etsy. Etsy has everything!”

Her influences range from modern art masters from the 1960s to pop artists and surrealists, as well as contemporary artists we see in art galleries today.

“I’ve always looked up to and loved Andy Warhol,” says Hilton. “He is such an iconic legend. I also love Jeff Koons, Damien Hirst, Kaws, Takashi Murukami, Ai Weiwei, Olivia Steele, Kaws and Salvador Dalí.”

In her I Dream Of Paris piece, she uses a photographic portrait taken from a recent cover shoot for Rollacoaster magazine, where she is wearing one of her favorite brands, Juicy. Making art, in itself could be channeling the same kind of energy required for posing through a photo shoot.

“I love listening to upbeat music that puts me in a good mood like Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream album,” said Hilton. “I also really love painting to chill beautiful music like any song by Rufus du Sol and Coldplay.”

So far, 2020 has made a mockery of our best laid plans, but one activity that will thankfully never be cancelled is binge-watching TV from the privacy of our own homes. Personally, I’ve been reaching back into the archives to knock the classics I’ve never seen off my shameful secret list (*ahem* The Sopranos), or watching nostalgic favourites that will slap till the end of time.

One such masterpiece is The Simple Life, the reality show—which propelled Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie into superstardom—that saw the BFFs holed up in small-town America, working a series of average-Joe jobs for five seasons. During its run from 2003–2007, The Simple Life depicted Hilton and Richie doing a variety of extremely un-socialite-like tasks, from milking cows to working drive-thrus—all the while making us cry-laugh with iconic catchphrases like: “That’s hot” and “Loves it.”

Over a decade after it went off the air, Hilton is still masterminding expressions, her latest being “Sliving”—a mix of “slaying” and “living your best life”—which, incidentally, is a worthy lens to see life under lockdown through. “Sliving is not just going out,” Hilton tells me over the phone from her boyfriend’s house in Malibu. “You can be sliving your best life by just being creative at home.”

Here, the heiress talks all things quarantine, Juicy Couture and more.

How have you been keeping yourself busy over the last few weeks?
I’ve been at home, enjoying time with my boyfriend [Hilton is dating businessman Carter Reum] and my pets, doing a lot of cooking and baking and making art and listening to music. I’ve just been using all this time because I’m so used to travelling and being on planes. I’m never in L.A., I’m never at home so I’ve just been trying to look at the positive of this and being able to be at home and not travel, it’s been nice.

Is the first time you’ve slowed down for a while?
Yes, I have not stopped since I was a teenager.

Have you ever re-watched The Simple Life?
Actually, my boyfriend and I watch it all the time. I love that show, it’s so hilarious. I’ve watched every season like a couple times each. It’s just there’s no reality show like it, it’s so hilarious [and] it’s so fun to watch.

Does the show’s legacy and the fact that it’s still so popular surprise you at all? It’s such a big reference point for so many people.
It makes me feel so happy because I feel like that show [was] the first of its kind and so original. I love that people dress up as Nicole and I for Halloween; and now that [the show’s] streaming, people can easily enjoy it. It just makes me so proud.

It’s such a perfect encapsulation of the time. How did you guys work out the gags? Whose idea was it for you guys to milk cows and work at Sonic [a burger restaurant]?
It was a very small town, so the producers asked the family we were staying with what jobs were available. We’d do whatever job or task we could do; so if the job would entail, you know, working with the cows, that was just part of the job. We’d always make it funny somehow and do something to get in trouble.

So, all that shit-disturbing was straight from the source?
Yes. We were doing our jobs like they told us to but, you know, kind of not doing the job as well. We knew what we were doing, we wanted to make people laugh, we wanted to entertain people.

Paris Hilton opens up about her life in YouTube doc This Is Paris – a far cry from the “character” that the hotel heiress has been playing for over 15 years in shows such as The Simple Life.

Hilton was at the Winter TCA press tour to discuss the film and it was a relatively frank conversation, one in which she didn’t use her ‘That’s Hot’ catchphrase once.

She told Deadline that it was an “emotional” and “raw” experience. “I’ve never done anything like this in my life,” she said. “In this film I discuss things I’ve never discussed before. I hope that people are going to see who I truly am.”

“It follows me in my real life, everything I’ve done before was me playing a character. I was talking about things that are very hard to talk about. It was an amazing experience but it was very scary. I was freaking out,” she added.

Neither Hilton, nor director Alexandra Dean, who previously directed Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story, originally wanted to either be in or direct the doc. Hilton said she was initially very “reluctant” to take the meeting but that it’s a “real film”, handing full control to the filmmakers.

Dean, similarly, didn’t want to follow up her Lamarr film with the story of Paris Hilton. “When I first got the call, I said no. I had grown up in the UK and looking at Paris on the cover of every magazine and I thought she was that original influencer who had brought that influencer world upon us,” she said.

Dean drew comparisons between Lamarr, who was best known for being one of Hollywood’s leading ladies in the 1940s, but was actually an incredibly successful inventor, essentially responsible for the technology that lead to Bluetooth, and Hilton. “I completely did a 180,” she added.

Despite Hilton’s admission that the producers of Fox and E! reality series The Simple Life – it was produced by Bunim/Murray – would engineer that series to show Hilton and Nicole Richie as fish out water, she said it wasn’t a mistake. “I was in on the joke,” she said. “Sometimes it is annoying people assuming I am the blonde airhead that I played on the show, but I like proving people wrong.”

The doc, which is produced by Eli Holzman and Aaron Saidman via Industrial Media’s Intellectual Property Corporation banner, launches on YouTube in May.

The 38-year-old star thinks the reality show – in which she and best friend Nicole Richie tried out a number of low-paid manual jobs – was too “timeless and iconic” to be remade and though she had the “best time” working on the programme for five years until 2007, she doesn’t want to go back.

And Paris admitted she’s now too much of a “serious businesswoman” to play the “character” she did on the show again.

She told TooFab: “They’ve already approached me about it. My schedule is so insane.

“I think that show is so, the first of its kind, so timeless, so iconic and so … I don’t know if it could ever be remade.

“It’s a different time right now and like, Nicole and I back then, yes of course it was fun doing that and me playing that character, we had the best time with my best friend on road trips all around the world and doing jobs we would never do in our lives and had the best time doing it, but now I’m like a serious business woman.”

However, Paris did suggest they could make a different version of the show.

She said: “I think if I was doing that, I couldn’t play that dumb character anymore. Maybe like ‘The Simple Life: Boss Babes.’”

These days, the blonde beauty is busy with her music and DJing career, as well as her beauty business and she’s amazed she’s got the chance to release her 25th fragrance, Electrify.

She said: “It’s amazing, I always thought I would have one perfume, when I was a teenager that was my dream. And to be releasing my 25th is just, insane, it’s amazing.”

Looking ahead! Paris Hilton may be single, but the singer wants to have children in the future.

“I’m totally immersed in my work, but I would love that one day,” the heiress, 38, told Us Weekly exclusively on Monday, September 30, while promoting her 25th fragrance, ELECTRIFY. “I think that having a family and children is another meaning of life. One day I would love that, but with my schedule, I just honestly don’t have time for it right now. One day I will, and I’ll be the best mom.”

For now, the New York native is the best aunt to her nieces. Her sister, Nicky Hilton, gushed to Us exclusively earlier this week about Paris’ bond with her daughters, Lily, 3, and Teddy, 21 months.

They just think she’s, like, a doll,” the 365 Style author, 35, explained to Us. “When she visits New York, I’ll take them over to her loft, and they’ll just look at her dolls and her trinkets and her figurines and then the little dogs, and they just are in heaven.”

She went on to say that her older sister will make “an incredible mother,” adding, “Paris is like a big kid herself. So I think she’ll be an amazing mother one day.”

The “High Off My Love” singer has another niece or nephew on the way. Us confirmed in September that Barron Hilton and his wife, Tessa Hilton (née Gräfin von Walderdorff), are expecting their first child.

“It’s exciting to be an aunt again and I can’t wait see if it’s a boy or a girl,” Paris told Us on Monday. “Coming up with names with them, it’s just really exciting.”

She’s also thrilled about her fragrance, telling Us of ELECTRIFY, which is available on perfumania.comOpens a New Window.: “Every time I do a fragrance, I always like to make them completely different so that everyone could just enjoy them and collect them. This one is a different scent than anything I’ve ever done. It’s … sweet coconut vanilla and has a bit of floral in it and magnolia and the scarlet apple. So when you put the scent on, it just immediately puts you in an amazing mood.”

No chance! Paris Hilton’s friend Kim Kardashian welcomed a fourth baby to her brood last month — but the singer can’t imagine being in her shoes.

“She loves it,” the fashion designer, 38, told Us Weekly exclusively of her pal’s mom life on Wednesday, June 19, at an event honoring her Glam App partnership. “They’re on vacation right now and just enjoying the family life, and I can’t even imagine having four kids right now. I still feel like a kid myself.”

The reality star, 38, and her husband, Kanye West, welcomed North, 6, in 2013, followed by Saint, 3, Chicago, 17 months, and Psalm, 1 month.

“He’s here and he’s perfect,” Kardashian wrote on Twitter when her youngest arrived via surrogate. “He’s also Chicago’s twin lol I’m sure he will change a lot but now he looks just like her.”

The following day, she tweeted, “We celebrated our baby boy about a week ago and now he’s here! He’s so perfect! I was freaking out for nothing because he is the most calm and chill of all of my babies so far and everyone loves him so much.”

While Hilton has yet to meet the KKW Beauty Creator’s second son, she told Us that she’ll see Psalm “soon.” The New York City native added, “I can’t wait.”

The Confessions of an Heiress author is working on new music and released “Best Friend’s Ass” last month. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star made a cameo in the video. Following its release, Hilton told Us exclusively what the Selfish author has taught her about fashion.

“She has amazing style,” the actress told Us. “Ever since we were teenagers, she was always like, ‘This is really cool. This would look great on you.’ She has a very good eye for fashion.”

Hilton added, “She told me that I taught her about spray tans and eyelashes and all of that, so we both have learned a lot from each other.”

Paris Hilton is back with new music — and her latest single might include a cheeky message about BFF Kim Kardashian West.

At midnight on Thursday night, Hilton, 38, dropped her new, much-teased song “Best Friend’s Ass” with DJs Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike.

“All I see is f— boys everywhere trying to make a pass but I can’t stop looking at my best friend’s ass,” Hilton sings on the dance-worthy track.

On Thursday, Hilton posted a series of Instagrams to promote the song — including two with Kardashian West, 38.

“I can’t stop looking at my #BestFriendsAss @KimKardashian,” she captioned two shots of the pair donning matching silver sequined mini dresses.

Though the music video for the song has not yet been released, it appears that Kardashian West will make a cameo.

Last week, Hilton teased that she and the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star were working on a “secret project” and the pair was also photographed walking side-by-side in the matching silver dresses.

“Can you guess what we’re doing today?” asked Kardashian West, whose derrière has become her most famous physical asset throughout the years.

“It’s a surprise,” replied Hilton.

Days earlier, Hilton posted on Instagram that she was casting for her “Best Friend’s Ass” music video — the same day the hotel heiress teased the “secret project.”

Hilton and Kardashian West are longtime friends, though they had a falling out years ago. They were inseparable in the mid-2000s, posing for paparazzi and hitting the club scene together. Reality TV fans will even remember Kardashian West’s first appearances on Hilton’s show The Simple Life, organizing the heiress’ closet and occasionally taking care of Hilton’s chihuahua, Tinkerbell.

But as Kardashian West’s fame rose, the two grew apart, even insulting each other in the press. In a 2008 radio interview, Hilton referred to Kardashian West’s butt as “cottage cheese inside a big trash bag.”

“I haven’t talked to her in a few years,” Kardashian West told Howard Stern in 2009. “We were good friends … It was just one time we didn’t speak again. I did speak to her once when she went on a radio station and said that my ass looks like cellulite in a trash bag or something — she did call me to apologize.”

In December 2018, Kardashian West hosted her family’s annual, lavish Christmas Eve bash, and for the occasion, she created a sled set-up with a bunch of artificial snow. In a Twitter video posted on Kanye West‘s account, the duo slid down the hill together.

“You guys, Paris and I are going to go down the sled!” the mother of three called out with a smile on her face while Hilton danced in the background. “Let’s do it!” Hilton yelled in response, as they held hands.

More recently, the pair celebrated Hilton’s 38th birthday with a belated bash in March.

In a sweet clip that both shared on social media, Kardashian West cozied up to Hilton while wishing her well.

“Happy Birthday, Paris. Even though your birthday was months ago — this is how she celebrates,” said Kardashian West, who appeared to be dressed casually in a form-fitting white dress.

“That’s how I roll,” Hilton agreed, to which her friend approvingly replied, “She deserves it.”

“Love you @KimKardashian 💋 So much fun celebrating my birthday with you at #ClubParis ✨👸🏻👸🏼✨,” Hilton captioned the sweet video.

Kardashian West memorably released a single, “Jam (Turn It Up),” in 2011. Hilton put out a self-titled studio album in 2006, featuring the hit “Stars Are Blind.” She’s also worked as a DJ.
