Though our younger viewers may know her better for her friendship with Kim Kardashian, the spotlight shone brightly on Paris Hilton, especially in the early 2000s. But was she just “famous for being famous”, or is there more to this Paparazzi Princess?
Like her friend Kim, Paris Hilton’s fame was bolstered by the infamy that comes from being the star of a wildly popular
sex tape, 2004’s cleverly-titled 1 Night in Paris. “That’s Hot.” As with Kim Kardashian, questions remain even decades later about whether the video was released intentionally to capitalize on her growing fame. For her part, Paris has since denied consenting to the video’s release and has settled out-of-court for the damage to her image and reputation. Perhaps the grossest thing about the video (bear with me) is that it opens with a title card that says “In memory of 9/11/01… We will never forget.” Seriously.

Nicole Richie has been a “diehard fan” of the 1991 cult comedy “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead” for as long as she can remember.
“I’ve been quoting this movie my whole life,” she says.
And now, life has come full circle because the former “Simple Life” reality television icon stars in director Wade Allain-Marcus’ “Don’t Tell Mom” remake as fashion company boss Rose.
The new film stars Simone Joy Jones as Tanya, a 17-year-old whose summer plans are upended when her mom (“Ms. Pat” star Patricia Williams) checks herself into a health retreat. Things completely unravel when the babysitter, played by Oscar nominee June Squibb, hired to take care of Tanya and her siblings suddenly dies.

erea Barros, both make their market debut at next March’s Malaga Festival Fund & Co-Production Event (Maff), one of the top forums for arthouse projects in the Spanish-speaking world.
Some seven further projects have been added to the initial opine announced at December’s Ventana Sur, including a pair from Paraguay, Málaga’s country of honour, and “Women in the City,” a doc feature exec produced by Rafael Cobos, creator, director and showrunner of the Canneseries-awarded show, “El hijo zurdo.”
Proving the possibility to carve out an international film career based out of Panama, “The Simple Life” (“La Vida Simple”) marks the sixth feature from Benaim, Oscar shortlisted for “Plaza Catedral.”
Marking a departure, “The Simple Life” looks like a more personal turn, about a film director, sans camera and crew, in Panama, compelled by unforeseen circumstances to live the very movie he’s longed to capture on film, suffering existential crisis.

When Renee Poche received word that she'd been cast on Love Is Blind, the Texas veterinarian was excited about the opportunity to find a partner -- and maybe a modicum of fame -- on Netflix's most popular dating show.
But as she explains in a new interview with Variety, Poche soon found herself in a hellish situation involving abuse, isolation, and some very messy legal drama.
According to legal documents filed by Poche, the nightmare began when production staff seized her phone, passport, and driver’s license and proceeded to lock her in a hotel room.
Poche says her safety was further compromised when she was pressured into an abusive relationship with Carter Wall, a fellow contestant who made his way through the show's vetting process despite being unemployed, unhoused, and addicted to multiple substances.

Last week's announcement that Paris Hilton would be partnering with Elon Musk's X (formerly and still more widely known as Twitter) for content-creation opportunities was a reminder that we are 20 years into the great Paris Hilton fame project. The Simple Life, the reality show that took Paris from the New York City gossip pages to network reality TV, premiered December 2, 2003 on Fox. In the two decades since that cultural blip, pop culture gatekeepers have continuously attempted to establish Paris as a viable television personality. And despite the fact that her contemporaries and even less-glamorous family members have legitimately thrived on reality TV, none of the projects centered around her have taken off.

It’s been exactly one year since the final season of “Bling Empire” premiered, and reality TV veteran Jeff Jenkins, who has executive produced shows ranging from “The Simple Life” to “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” looks back at the Netflix series about affluent Asian Americans as one of his most personal and proudest projects.
“More than any other show I’ve ever produced in my 25 year career is closest to my heart,” Jenkins told TheWrap. “My niece and nephew were adopted as infants from China and South Korea, respectively. They’re teenagers now, but when they were coming up, there was almost no one like them on television on a regular basis, scripted or unscripted.”
“When ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ came out [in 2018] and was a smash hit, I determined this is the moment. This is the moment! I thought, ‘Okay, who are the wealthiest Asians in Los Angeles?’ And luckily,...

That’s hot! Are you ready to get reacquainted with The Simple Life and House of Wax actress Paris Hilton? A24 hopes so, because the studio is optining the rights to socialite’s memoir for a TV series adaptation. According to Deadline the deal for Ms. Hilton’s memoir is in the neighborhood of six figures, with Hilton’s media company 11:11 Media, Dakota and Elle Fanning’s Lewellen Pictures, and David Bernad’s Middle Child Pictures producing. No writers have been assigned to the Paris Hilton memoir project, but with the WGA strike resolved, I’m sure they’ll find someone soon.
Paris The Memoir acts as a tell-all from the media princess, focusing on her struggles with Adhd, her rise to fame and the heat of the pop culture spotlight, and trying to live a life while under constant scrutiny from fans, paparazi, and people looking to capitalize on her fame.

His newest show, Bravo’s “Luann and Sonja: Welcome to Crappie Lake,” features former “Real Housewives” Luann de Lesseps and Sonja Morgan. But despite their reputations — de Lesseps is a former countess and Morgan was married to Jp Morgan’s great-grandson, after all — Jenkins found himself surprised by the just how down to earth the duo were.
Check out TheWrap’s interview with Jenkins below to learn how the duo was cast and if they really stayed in that motel while filming.

Sonja Morgan and Luann de Lesseps don’t exactly fit in at the Barn Bar in Benton, Illinois. With their high glam and penchant for putting on a show wherever they go, the Real Housewives of New York City stars decidedly stand out among the group of rugged, mud-loving men inside the local watering hole.
The stark contrast is part of the gimmick behind Bravo’s new reality series, Luann & Sonja: Welcome to Crappie Lake. Channeling the spirit of The Simple Life, these rich women go to a small town in order to experience a different way of living and get their hands dirty in the process. Two episodes in, the pair is already seeing the benefit of surrounding themselves with down-to-earth folks instead of self-involved New Yorkers.
“The people are cool and really authentic,” Luann says of the Barn Bar crowd, “which is different from what I’m used to.

Davis has been President of the Disney-owned studio since 2019.
He said it has been a “privilege” to work on shows such as ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy, FX’s Fleishman Is In Trouble and Hulu’s This Fool.
The move, however, is not a precursor to merging ABC Signature and 20th Television and, despite a multitude of rumors, they will continue to operate as two separate divisions. The company is currently searching for a replacement for Davis.
Davis’ departure is a surprise given how close he has been to Disney Entertainment Co-Chairman Dana Walden.

Jeff Jenkins made his name in unscripted television as an executive producer of E!’s “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” among other shows. But he’d been thinking about starting his own production company for some time before exiting his position as co-president of Bunim-Murray Productions. His desire to entertain viewers and inspire meaningful conversations with his shows pushed him to take the leap.
“We get to tell stories that, once in a while, actually can help advance our human culture in a small way,” Jenkins told TheWrap for this week’s Office With a View.
That’s what he’s striving to do at Jeff Jenkins Productions, which he formed in 2018, a year after leaving Bunim-Murray, alongside 3Bmg Entertainment’s CEO Ross Weintraub and Chairman Reinout Oerlemans. 3Bmg co-produces the programming alongside Jenkins and his company, which operates out of 3Bmg’s production offices in Sherman Oaks.

Vanessa Hudgens is ushering in a new season: the season of the witch.
Hudgens is known for her triple-threat talents, from acting in “Spring Breakers” to singing in “Tick, Tick…Boom!” to dancing in “Grease Live!” and starring in franchises like Netflix’s “The Princess Switch” and Disney’s “High School Musical.” But her latest project is her most personal yet — she is embarking on a spiritual journey in Salem with her best friend, musician Gg Magree, for the unscripted film, “Dead Hot.”
“Dead Hot” — which premieres April 14 on Tubi — is a true passion project for Hudgens and Magree, who are fascinated with the spirit world and came up with the idea to document their experience together. In the film, the duo set out to Salem, Mass., where they explore witchcraft, ghost hunting and connect with spirits.
“It was a lot more personal than anything I’ve ever done,” Hudgens tells Variety.

American socialite Paris Hilton said that her on-screen persona was a “trauma response” and a way to deal with the pressures in her life.
The TV personality, 42, was catapulted to fame in the early noughties in show ‘The Simple Life’, where she and pal Nicole Richie swapped their lavish lifestyles for humble homes, reports Mirror.co.uk.
However, the person she was while the cameras rolled and on the red carpet was a “mask”, the star said as she appeared on ‘The One Show’.

Paris Hilton is adding her voice to the chorus of women speaking out to reclaim their narrative from the media and the public.
This week she released “Paris: The Memoir,” sharing what it was like for her growing up a Hilton — being sent away to programs for troubled teens but finding mental and physical abuse, a leaked sex tape, the crafting of a party girl image and high-pitched voice and co-starring in a reality show, “The Simple Life,” with Nicole Richie.
In 2020, Hilton released a YouTube documentary “This is Paris,″ addressing her experiences at the schools. “That was the first time that I really became vulnerable and real and shared my story and what I went through,” said Hilton.

Paris Hilton has spoken about feeling judged by Pink following the release of the singer’s “Stupid Girls” music video.
In 2003, the reality TV stars was the subject of the leak of an intimate tape she’d filmed with her then-boyfriend, Rick Salomon. The tape was filmed when she was 19, with Salomon going on to sell a longer version of the tape in 2004.
Pink parodied Hilton in the music video for her 2006 song “Stupid Girls”, in which the musician is shown in bed with a man in shots similar to the sex tape.
Writing in her new book Paris: The Memoir, Hilton says that she was pressured into filming the sex tape, yet had felt shamed and unsupported by Pink, who she’d always thought of as “generous, evolved, and progressive” (via The Hollywood Reporter).

For many, their first introduction to Paris Hilton was through her early reality TV show "The Simple Life." The series, which saw Hilton and pal Nicole Richie transplanted from their high-profile surroundings to live with middle-class families and work blue-collar jobs, is a time capsule of the early aughts. While the show - which is turning 20 this year - is beloved by many, it featured a very different Hilton than the world has gotten to know these past few years. And with the release of her deeply personal memoir, "Paris," a fully fleshed-out picture of the multihyphenate's triumphs and tribulations has formed.

Paris Hilton and her husband, Carter Reum, joyfully welcomed their son, Phoenix Barron, this past January. The news shocked fans because Hilton had kept the pregnancy under wraps. The hotel heiress said she didn’t even tell her mother, Kathy Hilton, and the rest of the family until a week after the baby’s birth. But because the Simple Life star had used a surrogate, hiding that she and Reum were expecting a child was easy.

The 41-year-old socialite and friend to mogul Kim Kardashian tends to share current content on her social media, although she’s more than happy to mix it up with the odd throwback.
In a weekend Instagram story shared on Saturday, Paris showed off her old-school style as she took fans on a trip down memory lane.
The Paris in Love star’s photo was likely from the 2000s.
Paris had been photographed surrounded by people and possibly at night as she took a phone call.
Showing off her slender frame and golden tan, the heiress wore a strappy and braless dress in blue, going for a summery and light floral-print theme and wearing her blonde hair in the choppy short bob that defined her 2000s looks.
