Paris as also appeared in cameo and supporting roles in several feature films, including House Of Wax (2005), The Hillz (2004), Raising Helen (2004) and Nine Lives (2002). Paris’s small but significant role in House of Wax won the Teen Choice Award for Best Scream, as well as nominations for Choice Breakout Award - Female, and Best Frightened Performance at the MTV Movie Awards in 2006. She has also made cameo appearances in The cat in The Hat (2003), Wonderland (2003) and Win A Date With Tad Hamilton! (2004).

Paris’s rise to fame has not been without its share of controversy. In 2004, she was the co-star of One Night in Paris, an unauthorized sex video, which she made with her former boyfriend Rick Salomon. Paris even received a director’s credit on the video, but she later sued Salomon for releasing the tape for sale on the internet. The couple eventually settled out of court. According to press reports, Paris received $400,000 from the video, but claimed she had never intended it to be a commercial venture and said she thought that
Salomon should donate the proceeds to charity.

Paris has also appeared in several music videos, including Just Lose It by Eminem, It Girl by John Oates (of Hall & Oates) and Caught Up In The Rapture by Won-G with Giselle. She also has her own TV channel on YouTube, which is currently the 34th most subscribed channel of all time on the service, with over 10,000 subscriptions and 2,000,000 views.

As well as her movie and TV career, Paris has a wide range of other business interests. In 2004, she founded Heiress Records, a sub-label of Warner Bros Records. So far, the label has only released her own record, Paris, but she claims that she will be signing other artists in the future. She began work on her album in 2004, and when it was released in August 2006, it entered the charts at number six. The album features a range of genres, including hip-hop, pop and reggae, together with the work of leading producers such as Greg Wells, Kara DioGuardi and Scott Storch. Her other business ventures include publishing, fashion and even mobile gaming.

In autumn 2004, Paris released a book entitled Confessions of An Heiress: A Tongue-in-Cheek Peek behind the Pose, which she wrote in conjunction with author Merle Ginsberg. The book is lavishly illustrated with pictures of Paris, and contains a string of hints on how to live like the rich and famous. It was reported that Paris received a $100,000 advance for the book, and it soon made its way into the New York Times bestseller list despite being panned by the critics. She followed it up with a sequel, also written with Merle Ginsberg, called Your Heiress Diary: Confess It All To Me”, which encourages readers to note their goals, friends and family, boyfriends, and the celebrities they admire!
