Paris: Paid To Party

Paris HiltonPartying at the swankiest venues with big time celebs, enjoying ever-flowing champers and canopes - well, it sounds like a lot of fun to us.

But according to Paris Hilton, it's not all it's cracked up be.

In fact, the only reason we see her pictured at party after party (after party) is for the cash.

She told The Sun: "If you see pictures of me out, I'm being paid.

"When I turn up at an event it is work. People don't think I am shy - but I am. When the cameras are on and they're taking pictures it is work."

And it also seems that the Paris we know from The Simple Life is quite different from the real deal.

Paris enjoying a bit of a dance"The Simple Life is a reality show," she said, "and people might assume it's real. But it's fake. All reality shows are fake basically. When you have a camera on you, you are not going to act yourself.

"So before I started the show I thought I'd make a character like the movies Legally Blonde and Clueless mixed together... The public think they know me but they really don't."

Paris, who is in London promoting her debut album, also had a few words to say about her new buddy Victoria Beckham.

She said: "Victoria is my favourite Wag! She's gorgeous. I always wear her jeans. They're hot!"
