Who is Paris Hilton?
Paris Whitney Hilton, born February 17, 1981, is an American media personality, socialite, businesswoman, model, singer, actress, and DJ. She is the great-granddaughter of Conrad Hilton, the founder of Hilton Hotels.
Born in New York City, and raised there and in Beverly Hills, California, Hilton first attracted tabloid attention in the late 1990s, when she became a fixture in NYC’s late-night scene. She ventured into modeling at age 19, signing with Donald Trump’s agency Trump Model Management. After David LaChapelle photographed her and her sister Nicky for the September 2000 issue of Vanity Fair, Hilton was proclaimed “New York’s leading It Girl” in 2001.
In 2003, a leaked 2001 sex tape with her then-boyfriend Rick Salomon, later released as 1 Night in Paris, catapulted her into global fame, and the reality television series The Simple Life, in which she starred with her friend and socialite counterpart Nicole Richie, started its five-year run, reaching 13 million viewers, on Fox.
Paris Hilton Allegedly Pregnant With First Child
Paris Hilton is allegedly pregnant and expecting her first child with her fiancé, Carter Reum, a source claims.
Hilton, however, denied the pregnancy rumors on her “This is Paris” podcast Tuesday.
“The only thing in the oven at the moment is my ‘Sliving Lasagna,’” she said.
The pair have been open about wanting to start a family together, with Hilton, 40, revealing in January that she had been undergoing IVF treatments.
“He’s just my dream guy. … [Carter is] 100 percent [the one],” she said on the “Trend Reporter” podcast at the time. “We talk about [planning a wedding] all the time and planning our baby’s names and all of that.”
Hilton and the venture capitalist, also 40, got engaged in February after dating for a year.
Reum popped the question on a private island with an emerald-cut diamond ring designed by Jean Dousset.
Paris Hilton Biography, Wiki
Paris Hilton was born on February 17, 1981, in New York City, to Richard “Rick” Hilton, a businessman, and Kathy Hilton, a socialite and former child actress. The oldest of four children, she has one sister, Nicky Hilton (born 1983), and two brothers, Barron Hilton II (born 1989) and Conrad Hughes Hilton (born 1994).
Her paternal great-grandfather was Conrad Hilton, who founded Hilton Hotels, while her maternal aunts are television personalities Kim and Kyle Richards. Hilton has Norwegian, German, Italian, English, Irish, and Scottish ancestry. The family followed the Catholic faith.
Hilton moved frequently in her youth, living in Beverly Hills, the Hamptons, and a suite in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in Manhattan. Her relatives have described her as “very much a tomboy” who dreamed about becoming a veterinarian. According to her mother, she would save up her money to buy monkeys, snakes, and goats, and once recalled a particular incident in which a young Paris left “the snake out the cage at the Waldorf”.
Hilton was raised in a very “sheltered, conservative” atmosphere; her parents were particularly strict and she was not allowed to date, wear make-up or certain types of clothes, or go to school dances. Her mother enrolled her in etiquette classes with the idea of involving her in the socialite scene, a world Hilton was at first reluctant to be a part of, as she did not find it to be “real” or “natural”. She indeed described it as “very proper, very prim, almost like a Stepford wife“. The family’s social circle included figures such as Lionel Richie, Donald Trump, and Michael Jackson.
Growing up in Los Angeles, Hilton attended the Buckley School and St. Paul the Apostle School, finishing elementary school in 1995. Her freshman year of high school (1995–96) was spent at the Marywood-Palm Valley School in Rancho Mirage, California. In 1996, Hilton and her family left California for the East Coast.[21] At age 15, she attended Professional Children’s School.[19] She skated and played ice hockey while in high school.
Amid a rebellious youth, Hilton’s parents sent her, then 16, to a series of boarding schools for emotionally troubled teens, the last of which was Provo Canyon School, where she says that she was mentally and physically abused by the staff. In her documentary, This Is Paris, Hilton and other former students from Provo Canyon School recall the abuses they faced, including solitary confinement, forced medication, and being restrained, hit, and strangled.
She attended Provo for 11 months and was released in 1999 when she turned 18. She then attended the Dwight School before dropping out a few months later. “She knew no one at [Dwight]”, said her mother in an interview, while a classmate described her as “sort of more sophisticated. She was different from everybody else”. She later earned a GED certification.
