What kind of cheese is Paris Hilton? Netflix’s Cooking With Paris star answers EW’s culinary questions

[ Written on July 25 2021 by karina ]

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.

Paris Hilton: ‘I invented this Barbie doll persona… It was like wearing a shield’

[ Written on July 25 2021 by karina ]

001~41.jpg 003~25.jpg 004~25.jpg 002~33.jpg

Mirrored disco balls, chandeliers you could swing from and a large neon Ernest Hemingway quote that reads, ‘I drink to make other people more interesting.’ I’m in ‘Club Paris’, the exclusive yet infamous party room that’s played host to hundreds of revellers over the past 15 years, at Paris Hilton’s multimillion-dollar Beverly Hills mansion, in a private gated community off Hollywood’s iconic Mulholland Drive.

I wish I could say I’m on the dance floor, tequila in hand. Instead, it’s 11.30am on a weekday morning and I’m waiting for the heiress (to the Hilton hotel chain) turned entrepreneur on a plush grey sofa, surrounded by black-and-white sequinned cushions of her face. Yes, Paris Hilton’s home furnishings are as extra as you might expect.

The 40-year-old former It girl shuffles into the room quietly 15 minutes later. In the early 2000s, she was as famous for partying as she was for carrying miniature dogs around in designer handbags and appearing on the hit US reality show The Simple Life. Over 13 million viewers tuned in to watch Paris and fellow socialite Nicole Richie leave behind their mobile phones, celebrity status and LA lifestyles to live with a family in Arkansas and fail to hold down manual, low-paying jobs like farming and working for a fast-food chain.

Yet today there is no grand entrance. She isn’t flanked by publicists or bodyguards. Neither is she top-to-toe in labels, monograms or Swarovski crystals (all of which she made popular back in the day). She’s wearing black sweatpants and a neon-striped Aviator Nation windbreaker jacket when she joins me on the sofa, and her once long, blonde Barbie-doll hair has been chopped into a chic bob.

But the biggest surprise is that ‘Club Paris’ is, in fact, no more. Her home, which she bought in 2008 (and was famously burgled by the Hollywood ‘Bling Ring’, about which Sofia Coppola made a film in 2013), recently underwent a two-year renovation. And what I’m seeing today are merely the remnants of the decadence and debauchery that once went on here.

‘I’m grown-up now, so now this room is a movie theatre,’ she says, reaching for a cashmere blanket to wrap herself up in. ‘I’m so over going to parties. I never thought I would say that. I used to live for the nightlife. Now I couldn’t care less. I love being at home watching Netflix and cooking with my love [her fiancé Carter Milliken Reum – more on him later] and our puppies [there are currently six, named Diamond Baby, Harajuku, Crypto, Ether, Slivington and Cutesie, and their breeds range from Pomeranian to Chihuahua]. It’s nice to be with someone where you don’t even want to go out because it’s more fun being at home together. I have lived 10 million lifetimes. I’m ready for the real simple life.’

Paris is so domesticated these days that she has a new TV show to prove it. Cooking With Paris, which launches on Netflix next month, follows her as she tries out new recipes in her kitchen – opulent (marble counters, gold taps) with a sprinkling of Paris (a pink food processor, coffee mugs branded with her catchphrase ‘Loves It’) – joined in each episode by a different celebrity friend. Before taking part in the show, the only thing she could cook was the lasagne recipe her mother, Kathy Hilton, taught her as a child. ‘She’s part Italian so she makes the best lasagne,’ Paris explains. ‘Growing up, I was always in the kitchen with her cutting things up like a little sous chef.’ I don’t think she’ll mind me saying she was approached by Netflix after she made the lasagne for her YouTube channel and got 5.1 million views, rather than as a result of her culinary talents.

The show is very Paris: boldly tongue-in-cheek with a ‘fun and playful’ vibe that will appeal to The Simple Life fans. Think Paris dressed in a hot-pink ballgown riffling through the fruit and veg section of a supermarket. ‘What do chives look like?’ she asks the grocer. ‘What do I do with them?’

In episode one, a friend joins Paris for breakfast in her kitchen, which ‘looks like if Barbie or a Disney Princess had a kitchen. It’s very fun and girly and cute,’ she says. They reminisce about their days of partying in Ibiza, while attempting to make French toast, frittata and blue marshmallows (inspired by Paris’s favourite American breakfast cereal – the marshmallow-laden Lucky Charms). The producer has to show Paris where her blender is.

Paris Hilton says she no longer wants to be a billionaire: ‘I’m more interested in babies’

[ Written on June 26 2021 by karina ]

Paris Hilton is still “sliving” — even without billionaire status.

The socialite, who previously expressed her desire to make one billion dollars in her documentary “This is Paris,” revealed she no longer believes money is everything.

“That was such a goal of mine before, because I wasn’t happy in my personal life,” Hilton said on the “Just for Variety” podcast Tuesday.

“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.”

Instead, Hilton said she’s more invested in her personal life following her engagement to her boyfriend, Carter Reum, in February.

“Now that I am so incredibly happy and in love in my personal life, I’m not really interested in billions anymore,” she said. “I’m more interested in babies.”

Hilton acknowledged she has still maintained her work ethic, having “launched six different businesses,” but credited Reum for motivating her to work hard.

“I’ve never worked harder in my life, and I think also having a partner who is so business-minded is really such an inspiration to me. I’ve never been with someone who’s so brilliant and just really pushes me and makes me feel like I can be the best woman I can be,” she said, adding that she “just can’t wait for the next phase of my life.”

Hilton and Reum began dating in December 2019 and announced their engagement in February, in which he surprised her with a private island getaway trip to celebrate her 40th birthday.

Days after their engagement, Hilton opened up about her intentions to start a family with her husband-to-be during her podcast, “This is Paris.”

“It’s something that I’ve really been looking forward to and we’ve talked about a lot ever since we’ve been together, just having a family is going to be so exciting and how cute they’re going to be, and how fun it’s going to be,” Hilton said at the time. “First the wedding, then the babies.”

She also added that she plans to take Reum’s last name.

“I’m going to take it, but I feel like a hyphenated thing like Paris Hilton-Reum, because my name is just my name,” she explained. “I like it.”

Paris Hilton: ‘I’m Sick of People Using Me’

[ Written on June 23 2021 by karina ]

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 Says Opening Up For Revealing ‘This Is Paris’ Was “Therapeutic And Healing” – Contenders TV Docs + Unscripted

[ Written on May 06 2021 by karina ]

Starting more than 20 years ago, Paris Hilton built a carefree public image, becoming in the process a celebrity “influencer,” reality TV pioneer and social media star with millions of fans. But underneath it all was a very different Paris Hilton, a woman traumatized by experiences in her teenage years.

In the documentary This Is Paris, from YouTube Originals, Paris reveals her true self.

“This is the first time in my life where I’ve ever been so vulnerable, open and honest,” Hilton said on a panel for the documentary at Deadline’s Contenders Television: Documentary + Unscripted awards-season event. “It was a very therapeutic and healing experience. And I’m so grateful to have really opened up and told the truth, because I feel like I’ve just been misunderstood and underestimated for way too long.”

In the film directed by Alexandra Dean, Hilton recounts moving to New York with her family when she was 15. She started sowing wild oats, partying at New York nightclubs and becoming a fixture in gossip columns. Alarmed, her parents sent her away to various “tough love” boot camp-style schools, including one in Utah where Hilton says she and other students endured horrible treatment.

“These places are extremely abusive and on a daily basis I was physically, emotionally and psychologically, verbally abused,” she said. “It was just so traumatic and something I just never even wanted to think about again, or talk about or tell anyone. So I had no idea that I was ever going to reveal this part of my life.”

In Dean’s telling, it becomes clear why Hilton created an image at odds with what she had gone through.

“It is possible for a child who undergoes this kind of abuse and trauma to create and construct a fantastical kind of shield in the form of [a] persona,” she said. “I didn’t want to, obviously, exacerbate the trauma that was starting to show when we started to lift Paris’ mask and see the person behind it. And so I was trying to tread that line very carefully and thoughtfully.”

This Is Paris has recorded more than 21 million views on YouTube since its debut.

“Before the film premiered I was so nervous. I had no idea how the world was going to react. I was terrified. But then when it came out, just the outpour of love and support from all around the world was incredible and I felt people finally understood me,” Hilton said. “I had no idea just the power of being honest and truthful, what it would do and just how many people could relate to my story. And I feel like people finally understand and respect me.”
