Paris Hilton: Celebrity News

Posted on 12 Nov 2007 by Paris

Paris Hilton said Friday she has renewed her contract to represent a South Korean sportswear giant and hopes to extend her own fashion business here.

"I am very excited to be here, a great market for me. I think the Korean market is great for me," the 27-year-old heiress to the Hilton hotel empire told reporters.

Hilton arrived in Seoul on Wednesday from Tokyo, where she had been a judge in a beauty contest.

She was invited by Fila Korea, the sportswear maker she has represented since March. The value of her one-year contract has been estimated at one million dollars.

Hilton has appeared in the taping of a local television entertainment programme wearing a traditional Korean gown.

Fila Korea said Hilton would host a charity party Friday night with Korean celebrities at a club in Seoul's fashionable Apgujeong district.

The company refused to give details. Newspapers said the guest list includes Korean actors and singers as well as American pop star Beyonce Knowles, who arrived Thursday for her first concert here.

Hilton was in June jailed for violating probation over an alcohol-related reckless driving conviction. She emerged from prison declaring that incarceration had changed her and that she planned to "grow up."

She declared herself not much bothered by excessive media attention.

"Basically I know they are doing their job. Everybody has their job to do. So I respect that," she said.

"I just live my life how I do and don't let it bother me, even though it can get out of control sometimes."

Paris Hilton has replaced former party-friend Lindsay Lohan as Las Vegas nightclub LAX's New Year's Eve good time girl for $1 million.

The year will end tough for Hilton as she spent time behind bars, but she'll ring in 2008 with her sister Nicky. Paris, 26, will earn the $1 million playing what she does best, play the party hostess.

Being paid to show her face is nothing new to Hilton, she reportedly earned more than $2 million just for sitting in

the front row at designer Kira Plastinina's fashion show in Russia on Monday.

Hilton is receiving the biggest one-night appearance earnings than other celebrities because companies believe nobody draws a rally like Paris does. Lohan was initially scheduled to host the LAX party, but she pulled out earlier this week citing post-rehab sobriety concerns.

One thing for sure, both Hilton and Lohan have been through some changes this year. While the worldwide media couldn't wait to see Hilton in jail, it somehow re-launched her career, and she's earning bigger than ever. Lohan is no longer a party-girl, she moved out of Los Angeles and currently lives in Utah. She has completely turned her life around and don't be surprised if Lohan's career begins to soar.

Paris Hilton has threatened to sue a porn video store after losing control over promotional posters for her sex tape with ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon.

Hilton lost control in an adult video store in Toronto because the store hung promotional pictures for her video ‘1 Night in Paris.’ The socialite was wearing a skeleton costume when she entered the store and demanded the posters be taken down.  

 

When the employee did not take action, Hilton began tearing the posters from the wall. She said “I really want those taken down, because you guys can’t use my image in a porn store, so you’ve got to take those down. I’m gonna call my lawyer now to sue the [bleep] out of this place.”
