Where you’ve seen her:
Heiress to the Hilton hotel empire, Paris quickly made a name for herself as an international party girl. But it hasn’t all been late nights and paparazzi; she did star in the Fox reality series The Simple Life, had bit parts in the movies Wonderland, The Cat in the Hat, and Zoolander and recently hit the headlines with a certain home video.
Turning Japanese:
Paris and her younger sister, Nicky, are so insanely popular in Japan—the result of some TV commercials they’ve made there and a handbag design deal they have with Japan-based fashion company Samantha Thavasa—they have to travel in disguise.
Whiskey business:
Paris appeared in the video for “It Girl,” by the sadly Darryl Hall–less John Oates. Director Jed Leiber had seen Paris partying at the Whiskey Bar in the Sunset Marquis Hotel in West Hollywood, which is also where most of the video was eventually shot.
School’s out…for ever:
Having left or been given the boot out of nearly every school she’s attended (including posh East Coast prep schools like the Dwight School in New York City), Paris eventually settled for her GED and said to hell with school.
