Paris Hilton Single and Looking Stunning

American socialite, designer and failed singer, Paris Hilton has been the biggest terror attack since the 9/11 Twin Towers bombings.
When she came to prominence, the power and reach of social networks was not that profound and, as a result, there were no Facebook petitions or Twitter hashtags condemning the extravagant heiress. After escaping punishment when a Port Elizabeth court dropped marijuana-smoking charges against her during the Fifa 2010 World Cup, her friend and former Playboy model Jennifer Rovero admitted possession.
The hotel heiress was arrested when police claimed they found a local form of cannabis, known as dagga, in her handbag.
But what happened to her? Some claim that she grew up and some say that her family might have threatened to take her inheritance away if she didn’t clean up her act, while others say she is working hard to maintain her grandfather’s $1bn empire. But what is the real reason, as she is less active on Twitter than before?
Hilton is a great-granddaughter of Conrad Hilton, the founder of Hilton Hotels. She is known for her controversial participation in a sex tape in 2003 and appearance on the television series The Simple Life alongside fellow socialite and childhood best friend Nicole Richie.
She is also known for her 2004 tongue-in-cheek autobiography, Confessions of an Heiress co-written by Merle Ginsberg, which includes full colour photographs of her and her advice on life as an heiress.
Hilton reportedly received a $100000 (R800000) advance payment for this book.
She has also starred in several minor film roles, most notably her role in the horror film House of Wax in 2005, created her 2006 music album Paris and there’s her work in modelling.
Hilton loves small dogs, and lives with a Yorkshire terrier and a female chihuahua named Tinkerbell among many other pets. Hilton is frequently seen carrying Tinkerbell (dubbed an “accessory dog”) at social events and functions. In 2004, Tinkerbell even “authored” a memoir, The Tinkerbell Hilton Diaries.
But despite the innocent face and façade, wherever she has stepped she has always left a veil of chaos and pandemonium.
Last week she completed her 200 hours of community service after she was found in possession of drugs in Las Vegas last year and even the judge applauded her for her dedication and determination. She is doing so well that she was in Mumbai, India, promoting her new handbag range.
She might have changed her ways, given the fact that she’s getting old, but really, Paris Hilton is famous for doing one thing and that was making a sex tape.
A certain degree of sophistication has crept into terming Paris’s bed adventures on camera as a sex tape. When celebrities do it, it’s called a sex tape, but for others it’s porn.
But maybe she made a bold move to venture out into India as it is the country of the Kama Sutra. Anyone who actually demonstrated the Kama Sutra on camera should receive mega-publicity in the nation of its birth. Let’s hope she keeps up the new façade.
