She is also the proprietor of a fashion line, a perfume line, a nightlife line, and her own records group, ‘Heiress Records’.

One Night in Paris rocked her and she soon became the pet of the paparazzi; both, good and bad. Though in today’s context, her acting skills may seem a little passé, she has hit it big with her entrepreneurial skills and her music albums, collaborating with a number of international artists like Pitbull and Nicki Minaj.

Paris Hilton Career:

Her first breakthrough as an actress came in 2003 when she starred in her very own reality show, ‘The Simple Life’ along with her best friend, Nicole Richie. The ratings for her show were extremely high as Hilton was just freshly out of a sex-tape scandal.

In 2004, Hilton launched her very own lifestyle brand and designed a 10-piece line collection, which was launched on Amazon.com for sale. The same year, she authored her autobiography, ‘Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose’ and also launched her fragrance line. Her second book, ‘Your Heiress Diary: Confess It All to Me’ was released in 2005 and she launched her second line of perfumes, ‘Just Me’. She was also cast for the film, ‘House of Wax opposite Elisha Cuthbert and Chad Michael Murray.

‘The Simple Life’ had three successful seasons on Fox but was canceled after a fallout between Hilton and Richie for unspecified reasons. However, the two renewed their friendship the next year. In 2006, a new season for ‘The Simple Life’ was being produced and the same year, she decided to venture out into the music world. She debuted with her self-titled album, ‘Paris’, which became a huge hit, contrary to what the public believed it would be.

Just when Paris Hilton’s life was going smoothly, she was arrested in September 2006 for ‘driving under the influence of alcohol, leading to the suspension of her license. This arrest complicated the shoot of her season for ‘The Simple Life’. In December 2006, she produced and starred in the movie, ‘National Lampoon’s Pledge This!’ which was released directly to the video. In 2007, she released a hair extensions line called ‘DreamCatchers’. The same year, her license was once again suspended and she was confined to jail.

However, she could not serve her jail term and instead was confined to her house with an electronic monitoring device due to an indefinite health condition. The same year, she released another perfume line called, ‘Can Can’. In 2008, she created a line for dogs called, ‘Little Lily’. She also appeared in an episode of ‘My Name is Earl and appeared in a video online, ‘Paris Hilton Responds to McCain Ad’ with a leopard print swimsuit.

On September 30, 2008, she appeared in the reality show, ‘Paris Hilton’s My New BFF’, where she looked to make a new best friend. The series became a huge hit. The success of this show led her to star in the cult film, ‘Repo! The Genetic Opera. The same year, she also released another range of fragrances titled, ‘Fairy Dust’. She began filming for the British spin-off of the American reality show, ‘Paris Hilton My New BFF’ titled, ‘Paris Hilton’s British Best Friend’, which aired in 2009. Many fans were also pleasantly surprised when she appeared in an episode of ‘Supernatural’.

2010 proved to be both fruitful and disastrous for Paris. During the FIFA World Cup, she was caught smoking marijuana and was shepherded by the local police. She was, however, later freed. She was once again detained at the airport for possessing cannabis, in Corsica. In July 2009, she launched another fragrance line, ‘Siren’ which won important awards. It was during this time, that she involved herself in the design of a new sunglasses collection, which was launched in October of the same year.
