Paris Hilton: Celebrity News

"We're really happy. I feel safe and very secure", Hilton told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show. As for the diamond� ring, she says "it is a very special present I got."

Paris will star in a new reality series for MTV in which a group of girls will share a house in LA and compete to become the heiress' new best friend! "I'm really excited about this concept - Im going to meet a lot of great girlfriends," Paris, 27, tells In Touch exclusively, "I never got to go to college and this will be my chance to be in a sorority and have that experience. It's going to be really exciting"

Paris Hilton landed herself a job. The heiress is set to guest star in the hit comedy series "My Name Is Earl" as herself.

Hilton, 27, will portray herself in Earl's (Jason Lee) dream sequence in the hour-long episode entitled "I Won't Die With A Little Help From My Friends." The episode will air on April 3.

The series' creator Greg Garcia jokes, "When we wrote the role of 'Paris Hilton' in the script, we weren't exactly sure who to go with for the role."

"But after an exhausting search we finally settled on a relatively unknown actress by the name of Paris Hilton. I can't wait to see what she does with the role, and I can't wait for America to discover her."

This is not Hilton's first small screen venture. She had starred on "The Simple Life" with best friend Nicole Richie and guest starred on "American Dreams," "The O.C.," "Veronica Mars," and "Las Vegas."

Paris Hilton has defended herself against criticism of her extensive pet collection, insisting she only owns 17 dogs because they keep breeding.

'The Simple Life' star is currently at the centre of a new Los Angeles Department of Animal Services investigation after recently boasting about her pooches on Ellen DeGeneres' TV chatshow.

However, Hilton claims her brood keeps growing because she doesn't want to separate newborn pups from their parents.

She says: "They keep having babies and I feel bad to give them away because I feel like, if I had a baby and someone gave it away it would be mean."

Paris Hilton has revealed that she is working non-stop to ensure that her new footwear collection is a huge success.

The socialite insisted that she has designed all of the shoes herself, rather than simply putting her name to a collection which had already been produced.

"This week I am at my booth all day working, meeting all the buyers, showing them all my favourite styles and taking orders," Hilton told Fox News.

"We have monthly meetings where the design team comes in or I fly into New York, and we go over different designs and I'll send them drawings or inspirations. It is my line so I do it all, but it's a lot of fun to actually draw something and then actually see it here today."
