Paris Hilton covers the latest issue of Us Weekly, seemingly to promote all of her reality shows, projects, perfumes and everything else. I honestly get a kick out of seeing Paris in those Hilton commercials – while her family no longer owns the Hilton hotel chain, it’s an amazing wink to the consumer and a real full-circle moment for Paris and her family. At this point, I’m not really mad at Paris anymore – she was a pill in her 20s, but she’s matured a lot and I even admire her for the way she’s built her brand and remained somewhat relevant. She’s also a mom now – she and Carter Reum welcomed baby Phoenix in January. Some highlights from this interview:
Whether she thought she would be a media mogul when she was a kid: “When I was a little girl, I dreamed about becoming a veterinarian. As I grew up, my dreams evolved, and I became more interested in fashion and music, and later business. But my love of animals always stayed with me. That’s why I have so many doggies.
She’s one the top-earning DJs in the world: “I’ve always been about pushing boundaries and exploring different sides of myself. Music has just been so healing for me and one of the best ways for me to express who I am. I just focused on doing what I love and being on stage. [I recently played] at Tomorrowland in front of hundreds of thousands of people, and seeing the happiness in their eyes and the way that the music makes them feel is just such an indescribable experience. It makes me so proud to really have proved everyone wrong and become such a success in this world.
How she has managed to read the culture so well for years: “I can see into the future! [Laughs.] I’ve always been ahead of my time, whether it’s been reality TV, social media, fashion, music. Maybe it’s being an Aquarius — I don’t know! It’s just part of my superpower.
Her show, Paris in Love, was renewed for a second season. “It’s launching later this year on Peacock! Season 1 was all about the wedding, and now it’s just [more] about this next phase in my life — being a new mom and Phoenix coming into this world. I’m really excited.”
A working mom: “It’s definitely a lot to balance it all. I love what I do so much, but my baby is my top priority. All of my priorities have shifted. I am saying no to so many things because I want to be able to spend as much time with [my son] as possible. He’s just my little angel.
She also told Us Weekly that she can’t wait to have a daughter. Which surprised me, because I kind of thought that she would want all daughters, really – especially since she became a mother through gestational carrier. As for Paris’s Big Aquarius Energy… there might be something to it, you never know. You have to admit – she really has read the cultural moments a lot better than most professionals.
