Paris
Whitney Hilton (born February 17, 1981) is an American celebutante.
She has worked as an actress, a model and a singer, and is an
heiress to the Hilton Hotels chain. She is best-known through the
television series The Simple Life. She has appeared in several minor
film roles, most notably in the horror film House of Wax in 2005. In
2004 she published a tongue-in-cheek autobiography. In 2006, she
released her debut album Paris. Hilton's career pursuits include
singing, modeling, acting, writing, and television. As a result of
several legal incidents, Hilton served a widely publicized sentence
in an L.A. County jail facility in 2007. Hilton has worked as a
model, actress, musician, and businesswoman. Hilton released an
autobiographical book, Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic
Peek Behind the Pose, co-written by Merle Ginsberg, which includes
full color photographs of her and her advice on life as an heiress.
Hilton reportedly received a $100,000 advance payment for this book.
Some in the media panned the writing as amateurish, and the book was
parodied by Robert Mundell on The Late Show with David Letterman.
The book became a New York Times bestseller. Hilton followed it up
with a designer diary, also with Ginsberg, called Your Heiress
