Aug 18, 2005- Paris Hilton has revealed ex-best friend Nicole Richie was not
her first choice for reality TV show 'The Simple Life'.
The hotel heiress claims she only asked Nicole to co-star with her when her
sister, Nicky, turned it down.
Paris - who is no longer speaking to Nicole - revealed: "Nicky was supposed to
do the first series of 'Simple Life' but she said she didn't want to do a
reality show.
"So I asked some friends and Nicole was like, 'I'll do it,' so I did it with
her. Nicky was my first choice though."
Paris and Nicole are contractually obliged to shoot a fourth series of the
show, despite their falling out.
But Paris says she would rather co-star with close pal Kimberly Stewart. She
confessed to Britain's Cosmo Girl magazine: "It's my show. I brought Nicole on
and we had a great first three seasons, but now I want to make it new and have
someone else to be crazy with.
"Kimberly is hysterical. She has a great personality and she's blonde and
beautiful. She's hot."

"That's hot" is a phrase popularized by Hilton (although an earlier usage is
attributed to her Simple Life co-star Nicole Richie and has been used by
others for many years). The catch phrase, a synonym for "That's cool" or
"That's awesome," has since been parodied in pop culture outlets such as
Saturday Night Live and even by Hilton herself, on The Late Show with David
Letterman.In 2004, Hilton filed a request to trademark the phrase "that's
hot."
Experts doubt that her request will be approved, but she has taken the
necessary steps to re-file should she be denied. She wishes to market clothing
with the phrase prominently emblazoned on the garments; she felt it was time
to patent the phrase because "I've been saying it forever. I want to put it on
T-shirts and stuff like that."

At a press conference for her new film National
Lampoon's Pledge This on the sidelines of the Cannes film festival,
Hilton said a US reality television program in which she worked jobs
ranging from milking cows to pumping gas had taught her how the other
half lives.
"I was on The Simple Life and I met
people from all sorts of working backgrounds and I worked at fast food
restaurants and I had all these different jobs so I know how it is to be
in the working class. Everybody's the same," she said.
"In The Simple Life I really learned
what it was like to work so many different jobs and just how hard people
work for a living. I would have never had the chance to do any of those
jobs and I really appreciate people, how hard they work."
The 24-year-old told reporters at a luxury
hotel - not the Hilton - that Marilyn Monroe and Cameron Diaz had served
as her role models in the new film, which she said was a "sexy and hot"
look at an elitist sorority at an American university.
But she bristled at a mention by an Argentine
journalist of her now infamous sex video which went around the world via
the Internet, dismissing the reporter in a whisper caught on mike as an
"a**hole".
The new picture comes on the heels of filming
for a horror movie House of Wax. Hilton is also working on a new
album she said bore a resemblance to early Madonna and Blondie, and is
coming out with a fragrance line that bears her name.
"I consider myself a business woman and a
brand," said Hilton, who up to now has been best known around the world
for a home movie on the Internet showing her getting intimate with a
boyfriend.
"I pretty much do everything - I've always
wanted to be an actress since I was a little girl and my dreams are
coming true."

Rumors didn't let America down: Paris Hilton
did make an appearance on Saturday Night Live last night. Dressed in
a sharp, slightly sexy (but, let's face it, extremely demure for
her), Paris Hilton appeared polite, a little nervous, but overall
funny in a classic double entendre exchange with Jimmy Fallon during
Weekend Update. Kudos, SNL writers and talent bookers, job well
done. Here is the unofficial Gothamist transcript:
Tina Fey: Paris Hilton is a name that's on
everyone's lips these days. Here now in an exclusive interview with
Jimmy Fallon in Paris Hilton. Jimmy Fallon: Thanks for coming on. Paris Hilton: Nice to be here. JF: So, we agreed, we won't be discussing the scandal that's been in
the papers the past couple weeks. PH: I appreciate that. JF: We want to find about you, Paris Hilton. Your family...the
Hiltons own hotels all around the world. PH: Yes, in New York, London, Paris. JF: Wait, there actually is a Paris Hilton? PH: Yes, there is. JF: Is it hard to get into the Paris Hilton? PH: Actually, it's a very exclusive hotel, no matter what you've
heard.
JF: I hear the Paris Hilton is very
beautiful. PH: I'm glad that you've heard that. JF: Is there double occupancy at the Paris Hilton? PH: No. JF: Is the Paris Hilton very roomy? PH: It might be for you. But most people find it very comfortable. JF: I'm a VIP, I might need to go through the back entrance. PH: Doesn't matter who are you it's not going to happen. JF: Fair enough, okay. I throw a lot of events. Do they have
ballrooms there? PH: We do. JF: Great, I'd love to have my balls held by the Paris Hilton.
Sounds awesome. I'd like to check into the Paris Hilton. PH: I don't think you can. JF: Really? I'd only be able to stay there a minute and a half...two
minutes, tops. PH: Good luck. JF: Paris Hilton!
