Pop Culture Maker. Innovator. Survivor. Activist. Daughter. Sister. Wife. Mother.The roles Paris embraces as a fully realized woman.Paris rose to prominence as an heiress to the Hilton hotel empire but cultivated her fame and fortune as the IT Girl of the aughts, a time marked by the burgeoning 24-hour entertainment news cycle and the advent of the celebrity blog. Using her celebrity brand, Paris set in motion her innovative business ventures, while being the constant target of tabloid culture that dismissively wrote her off as “famous for being famous.” With tenacity, sharp business acumen and grit, she built a global empire and, in the process, became a truly modern icon beloved around the world.Now, with courage, honesty, and humour, Paris Hilton is ready to take stock, place it all in context and share her story with the world. Separating the creation from the creator, the brand from the ambassador, Paris: The Memoir strips away all we thought we knew about a celebrity icon, taking us back to a privileged childhood lived through the lens of undiagnosed ADHD, a teenage rebellion that triggered a panicked – and perilous – decision by her parents. Led to believe they were saving their child’s life, Paris’s mother and father had her kidnapped and saw her sent to a series of ‘emotional growth boarding schools’, where she survived almost two years of verbal, physical and sexual abuse. In the midst of a hell we now call the ‘troubled teen industry’, Paris created a beautiful inner world where the ugliness couldn’t touch her. She came out, resolving to trust no-one but herself as she transformed that fantasy world into a multibillion-dollar reality.Recounting her perilous journey through pre-#MeToo sexual politics with grace, dignity and just the right amount of sass. Paris: The Memoir tracks the evolution of celebrity culture through the story of the figure at its leading edge, full of defining moments and marquee names. Most important, Paris shows us her path to peace while she challenges us to question our role in her story and in our own.Welcome to Paris.

From the woman who is credited for launching what we know as the celebrity focused, brand driven, social media obsessed popular culture of today, comes an honest and surprising memoir that reckons with that truth, and shows that there is so much more to Paris Hilton than you might believe.I was born in New York City on February 17, 1981, three days after Valentines Day.From the time I was a toddler, my brain skipped and flickered with the chemical imbalance of ADHD. Sometimes it was too much.Im not bragging or complaining about it, just telling you: This is my brain. It has a lot to do with how this whole book thing is going to play out, because I love run-on sentencesand dashes. And sentence fragments. Im probably going to jump around a lot while I tell the story.I came of age during the most turbulent pop culture period ever.The character I playedpart Lucy, part Marilynwas my steel-plated armor.People loved her. Or they loved to hate her, which was just as marketable. I leaned into that character, my ticket to financial freedom and a safe place to hide. I made sure I never had a quiet moment to figure out who I was without her. I was afraid of that moment because I didnt know what Id find.I wrote this book in an effort to understand my place in a watershed moment: the technology renaissance, the age of influencers. I also wrote this book so that the world could know who I am today. I focused on key aspects of my life that led to what I am most proud of--how my power was taken away from me and how I took it back, how I built a thriving business, a marriage and a family.There are so many young women who need to hear this story. I dont want them to learn from my mistakes; I want them to stop hating themselves for their own mistakes. I want them to laugh and cry and embrace every aspect of who they are with fearlessness and pride. We all have our own brand of intelligence, and, girl, fuck fitting in.

Socialite, fashion icon, television and movie star, recording artist and just plain celebrity: Twenty-two year old Paris Hilton is the great granddaughter of hotel magnate Conrad Hilton and is estimated to be worth $30 million. The world first became aware of Paris Hilton through a Vanity Fair profile in 2000. Since then, she has graced the pages of countless magazines, newspapers, and tabloids; modeled on the runways of top designers; appeared on television shows as herself (''Saturday Night Live'', MTV Music Awards) and as fictional characters (the new Sky One show ''Las Vegas''); had small parts in movies like ''The Cat in the Hat'', ''Win a Date with Tad Hamilton'' and the upcoming ''The Hillz''; has begun work on an album; and starred in a hit reality series, ''The Simple Life'' (shown here on Channel 4). She has been romantically linked with current boyfriend Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys, Rick Solomon (of the notorious sex tape), and Deryck Whibley of Sum 41. ''I think the biggest misconception about me is that I''m this spoiled brat. But I''m not. I''m the total opposite.''

Die Wahrheit hinter der glamourösen Fassade: In Paris: Mein Leben erzählt Paris Hilton von ihrem ADHS, überholten Erziehungsmethoden, Gewalt und Emanzipation.Bekannt wurde Paris als Erbin des Hilton-Hotelimperiums, aber sie veredelte ihren Ruhm und ihr Vermögen, indem sie DAS It-Girl der Nullerjahre wurde. In einer Zeit, die vom Aufkommen der 24-stündigen Nachrichtenbeschallung und erster früher Promi-Blogs geprägt war, lernte sie ihre Personenmarke einzusetzen, um geschäftlich Erfolg zu haben. Während ihr als permanentem Gegenstand der Boulevardkultur vorgeworfen wurde, sie sei "berühmt dafür, berühmt zu sein", zog sie mit Beharrlichkeit, Unternehmergeist und Entschlossenheit ihr eigenes kleines Medienimperium hoch und mauserte sich zu einer wahrhaft modernen und weltweit beliebten Ikone.Jetzt endlich zieht Paris Hilton mit Mut, Ehrlichkeit und jeder Menge Humor Bilanz, ergänzt die fehlenden Puzzlestücke und teilt ihre Geschichte mit der Welt. Indem sie die Rolle von ihrer Urheberin, die Marke von ihrer Botschafterin trennt, räumt sie auf mit allem, was wir über sie zu wissen dachten. Sie nimmt uns mit in eine privilegierte Kindheit, die sie durch das Brennglas eines undiagnostizierten ADHS erlebte. Ihre Rebellion als Teenagerin führte zu einer panischen und gefährlichen Reaktion ihrer Eltern: Weil man sie glauben machte, dass sie nur so das Leben ihrer Tochter retten könnten, ließen Paris'' Mutter und Vater sie kidnappen und in mehrere ''Internate für emotionales Wachstum'' sperren, in denen sie fast zwei Jahre lang verbalen, körperlichen und sexuellen Missbrauch erlitt. Inmitten jener Hölle, die wir heute unter dem Namen ''Problemkind-Industrie'' kennen, erschuf Paris eine schöne innere Welt, in der die Hässlichkeit ihrer Umgebung sie nicht erreichte. Als sie endlich wieder freikam, vertraute sie niemandem mehr außer sich selbst und verwandelte ihre Fantasiewelt in eine milliardenschwere Realität. Indem das Buch auch von ihrer riskanten Reise durch die männliche Tyrannei der Ära vor #MeToo mit genau dem richtigen Quäntchen Frechheit berichtet, spürt Paris: Mein Leben der Entwicklung der Promi-Kultur bis in die Gegenwart nach. Wir erleben Momente wieder, die uns allen in Erinnerung geblieben sind, und begegnen vielen bekannten Namen. Doch am allerwichtigsten: Paris zeigt uns ihren Weg zum Frieden, während sie uns herausfordert, unsere eigene Rolle in ihrer (und unserer) Geschichte zu hinterfragen.Erbin, Partyluder, Problemkind, Selfie-Produzentin, Model, Reality-Star, Eigenkreation: So lauten die Labels, die andere Paris Hilton angeheftet haben.Gründerin, Unternehmerin, Popkultur-Schaffende, Innovatorin, Überlebende, Aktivistin, Tochter, Schwester, Ehefrau, Mutter: Das sind die Rollen, die Paris als vollends erwachsene Frau für sich annimmt.
