Paris Hilton: Celebrity News

Posted on 06 Oct 2007 by Paris

 Paris Hilton is the modern-day version of Princess Diana - according to Dame Helen Mirren.

She said: "I don't applaud Paris Hilton... but I think she's pretty cool.

"She's developed, like Princess Diana, that deliberate foolishness, which is disarming."

Princess Diana And Helen ain't the only one to pick on similarities between the two blondies.

Paris has been flapping her gums about it for a while now.

This we can believe, but Helen too? Well, we're kinda flabbergasted.

Anyhoo, Paris reckons she's the next in line of uber-famous blondes.

She said last year: "I think every decade has an iconic blonde - like Marilyn Monroe or Princess Diana - and right now, I'm that icon."

Modest.

Paris Hilton is not a happy heiress after a weekend appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman, which saw the host harass Hilton over her time in jail.

The 26-year-old reality star agreed to appear on the show to promote her new perfume and fashion line, but instead suffered a barrage of questions about her time in jail.

After initially greeting Hilton, Letterman asked, "How'd you like your time in jail?"

A visibly-uncomfortable Hilton replied, "Not too much."

As Letterman continued to question the former jailbird, Hilton grew increasingly annoyed, pouting and looking off-stage for help.

"I've moved on with my life so I don't really want to talk about it anymore" Hilton told the host but Letterman would not be dissuaded.

"This is where you and I are different. Because this is all I want to talk about," he said.

Towards the end of the interview, Hilton told Letterman he was making her sad for coming on the show and "hurting my feelings".

Letterman tried to cheer the heiress up by joking, "I'll buy you a parakeet!"

The interview will screen in New Zealand on Prime TV tomorrow night, at 11.05pm.

Actress Pamela Anderson is set to marry Rick Salomon, the former boyfriend of celebrity heiress Paris Hilton.

Salomon, 38, is best known for making an explicit video with Hilton.

Former Baywatch star Anderson, 40, divorced musician Kid Rock earlier this year, having been married to Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee until 1998.

Notoriety

Last month, Anderson appeared on a US television talk show hosted by Ellen de Generes and announced that she was engaged.

But she refused to identify her fiance, other than disclosing that he was a poker player.

The screen star's most recent marriage to Kid Rock ended in divorce being sought after just four months.

At the MTV Music Video Awards in Las Vegas in September, he was arrested on suspicion of assaulting Tommy Lee, the father of Anderson's two children.

Lee and Anderson also gained notoriety for recording an explicit video.

The tape involving Hilton and Salomon, recorded in infrared, was initially circulated on the internet before being released as an X-rated film entitled One Night in Paris.

Paris Hilton is planning a very special trip -- not to Vegas or the south of France, but to one of the poorest places on the planet: Rwanda, where just over a decade ago, the Hutu-led military killed 800,000 Tutsis.

Paris Hilton plans to visit Rwanda this November to raise awareness about child poverty. The service trip comes as part of Paris' image makeover following her brief stint in jail.

"The Simple Life" star told E! Online: "I'll be going in November, after I get back from filming my movie. There's so much need in that area, and I feel like if I go, it will bring more attention to what people can do to help."

Paris' Rwanda trip will be one of many service trips around the world. "I want to visit more countries where poverty and children's issues are a big concern," Hilton said. "I know there's a lot of good I can do just by getting involved and bringing attention to these issues."

And that is not all from the new altruistic Paris. The socialite said she plans to make her brand new Beverly Hills home more "green friendly." "I just bought the house and haven't been able to work on it yet," Paris Hilton, 26, informed E! Online. "But I intend to."

The socialite is currently in Toronto filming the horror flick "Repo! The Genetic Opera" from the director of the "Saw" films. "Repo!" takes place in the not-too-distant future, where an organ failure epidemic forces mankind to purchase internal parts through credit. Failure to pay for the expensive parts brings a visit from the wicked repo men.

Considered by some to be a true marketing genius, and others a media hog, Paris Hilton continues to stir up a scene wherever she lands.

Most recently, a throng of screaming fans and press converged in the heart of Montreal on Sunday night to get their fill of the heiress in action.

"I love Montreal,” Hilton told the crowd as she left her hotel for a night on the town, which consisted of stops at dinner spot Ora, and the ever-hip Tribe Hyperclub.

AP reports tell of the scene: “Shouts of ‘Paris, I love you!’ could be heard from a crowd of onlookers who gathered in front of the St. James Hotel. A black SUV with bodyguards transported Hilton about 100 meters to the club, where dozens of fans had waited hours for her arrival.”

Well, if this doesn’t surprise the heck out of you, nothing will!  In her quest for a mate,  Paris Hilton didn’t have to look any further than her local Pizza Hut.



That’s right, the heiress has fallen in love with a pizza delivery guy.  Alex Vaggo made the acquaintance of the heiress while the two were partying at the same Vegas nightclub.

All in all, it’s a pretty fortunate series of events for Vaggo.  According to one of his friends, “He decided to fly to LA for a holiday and spent much of the summer working as a pizza delivery boy to raise extra money. We were amazed to see how quickly he hooked up with Paris.”

But Alex’s pals don’t have much hope for the relationship long term.  They said, “He’s quite a shy, laid-back kind of guy. Paris will probably eat him alive.”
