Paris Whitney Hilton
born: 17-02-1981
birth place: New York, USA

In May 2004, Paris unveiled her own brand of perfume in conjunction with Parlux Fragrances. “It’s really hot…I mixed all these scents together….it smells so good,” she revealed. Naturally, the perfume was destined to be called Paris Hilton. The perfume was so successful that the manufacturers decided to follow it up with a second Paris Hilton fragrance, called Just Me. A men’s fragrance, Heir by Paris Hilton has also been launched by Parlux.

Paris has also tried her hand at fashion, and helped design a collection of handbags for the Samantha Thavasa label in Tokyo. She has also helped launch a line of jewelry called The Paris Hilton Collection on Amazon.com. This was soon followed by a collection of watches, launched in November 2005 at the Tourneau store in New York. The 18-carat white gold and diamond-encrusted watches start at a mere $100,000.

Also in 2005, Paris launched her own chain of night-clubs, known as Club Paris. The first nightclub was opened in Orlando, Florida and has proved to be a great success. A second club was opened in Jacksonville, Florida and Paris is hoping to open further clubs in Las Vegas, New York City, Los Angeles, Miami and Cancun, Mexico.

Despite her flourishing media and business career, Paris’s personal life has been marked by controversy and scandal. In autumn 2006, she was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, although Paris claimed that she had only had one cocktail to drink, and that the high level of alcohol in her blood was due to the fact that she had not eaten all day. She is also reported to have told the arresting officers that she was speeding to get to a local burger restaurant so that she could eat! She was back in court a few months later, when the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office claimed that she had violated the terms of her probation by driving on a suspended license.
