内容简介
Book Description
Her name is on everyone's lips, but can she help it if she was born rich and famous? Here's a bird's eye view of the fast, fun world of Paris Hilton, packed with enough photos, advice and inside scoop to help anyone become an heiress and live a privileged life. 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 USD30 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.
FromPublishers Weekly
Heiress, socialite, model, actress, singer and media darling Hilton loves her life, knows how to get what she wants and matter-of-factly explains how anyone can be a glamorous, fun-loving, tiara-wearing heiress just like her. Bursting with photos of Hilton in trademark poses or with friends and family, her "confessions" are hardly scandalous, other than divulging that her hair is (gasp) naturally curly, she reveals few intimate details about herself, coyly referring to a famous scandal that once plagued her as "something I wasn't too proud of", but they display an energetic and earnest young woman fiercely loyal to her family and closest friends and determined to enjoy herself no matter what the consequences. Lightheartedly describing the "Paris Diet" (eat as much chocolate as you can, eat popcorn at night, never take diet pills) and admitting "I'm really bad about washing my face and using skin products," Hilton's indulgent and sometimes reckless lifestyle might not be sensible for everyone, but her advice to "channel your own inner heiress, create your own image, and project an extreme sense of confidence" is an empowering message for young women. Though much of the book consists of laundry lists of her favorite designers, body products, hair stylists, cities, etc., Hilton endears herself to readers by being the first to critique herself, even dedicating a chapter to photos of her fashion mistakes, and by encouraging aspiring heiresses, or girls who want to feel like one, to "always act like you're wearing an invisible crown. I do. And it's always worked for me."

1."I have known Paris Hilton for much of her young life and have always recognized her as a great beauty. What people don't know is that she is a great beauty on the inside as well."
-- Donald Trump
2."Paris is young and beautiful with her own sense of style. That's what everyone loves about her. Paris and I are similar in that all that matters is that we are happy with who we are."
-- Naomi Campbell

1.::Sigh:: (Updated: August 22, 2005), May 4, 2005
By Calvary (NY)
August 22, 2005: In my latest entry as to why most Americans can't stand this woman, here's the latest. I was flipping through the September issue of Marie Claire magazine, and to my amazement I find that Paris is coming out with her own fragrance called "Just Me"::snorts:: No thanks Paris, I think I'll pass (gas)
Look, I get that Paris is rich and all, and I don't hate her for that, not at all. But what I do hate is that she just doesn't seem to just simply GO AWAY. She's like one of those kids from high school that craves attention no matter what, and when no one seems to care about this kid anymore or has lost interest, they do something else so as to FORCE people to pay attention. Yup. That's Paris. What has she done to actually have a fragrance named after her? Honest to god I don't know. Let me guess what the fragrance's marketing tag will be....hmmm...."you too can feel sexy, powerful, and pampered just like Paris". Uhmmmm, Kimora Lee Simmons has said the same thing about her new Baby Phat Women's fragrance (don't EVEN get me started on her). I think I will just stick with my Hanae Mori fragrance.
So what's the point of this latest ranting. You want Paris Hilton to disappear into the abyss? Ignore her. DON'T BUY THIS FRAGRANCE!!! Heck, when you're in Macy's, run, don't walk, past the perfume lady calling you to test out this sham-de-toilette.
June 3, 2005: Well, if you haven't figured out why many people just can't stand this "celebutante" (what is this? Goes to show, most critics don't even think of Hilton as a bonafide celebrity), just look at what made the headlines here in NYC's Daily News newspaper. What made the cover headlines? Get this, 1/2 of the front cover was devoted to the debate of whether or not NYC should build an Olympic-sized stadium for 2012 Olympics. You see, that I can understand, seeing as how billions of taxpayers' dollars will be used for this. The other 1/2 of the cover? That was devoted to Paris Hilton. Well, when you actually saw the inside of the paper, her "breaking news" was just a picture of her diamond engagement ring in the "Entertainment" section. Bizarre isn't it??? So now, her freakin' ring gets more front-page coverage than the wholesale slaughter of 20 million+ Sudanese people, the war on terrorism and countless other critical stories. Shoot, even the news of her engagement made headlines. Why God, Why???? What has happened to the once esteemed American press? If I want all the dirt on Paris, I will read US Weekly, or the tabloids. This isn't journalism anymore....thank god for the BBC and NWI. End rant. My review is below.
I flipped through this book, which was displayed so prominently at Barnes and Nobles,in record time. The writing is very simplistic, the tone is overly shallow, and there seems to be more pictures than words. This is a quick, 5th grade level "reading" book. Don't buy it, just borrow it from the local library or a friend. Seriously, spend your hard-earned money somewhere else.
As for Ms. Hilton, it's a sad day in America that we, as a society, have allowed her to dominate the news media. Even her dog, the love-starved Tinkerbell, gets more media coverage than the genocide in Sudan. What have we come to???? Spending money on this ghost-written book just feeds more money into this gruesome monster known as the Paris Hilton media machine. Don't love or hate her. Just ignore her. If a news program is doing yet another story on her, change the channel. Don't buy newspapers that feature her on 98% of the front page, while they only give a thumb nail to the war in Iraq. Don't stay at any Hilton hotels, the Waldorf Astoria (her family owns that as well) and any other hotel that her family owns. Don't watch "The Simple Life"! And for the love of humanity, don't fall into the trap that her sister Nicky is any different and she's the "shrinking violet" b/c, baby, she's just as shallow as her sister, except she's a brunette.
As for the book, what can I say that hasn't already been said by the majority of reviwers? Paris comes off, or should I say her ghost-writer, as extremely materialistic, shallow and vain (What a shock!)As a heiress to a multi-billion dollar empire, I can expect this is due to her upbringing but alas, you can't necessarily blame the parents for everything, can you? I can blame American society for allowing her to be elevated to the status of an "icon". Maybe Paris Hilton reflects, on a bigger scale, what our society has become. But like I said, just ignore her and she will eventually go away. It will work but enough people need to do this. The media will finally get the message.
2.And we care because......?, September 9, 2004
By C. K. Ogi (NW MO USA)
I checked this out for reasons I still am unsure of. What I found was exactly what you've come to expect from Paris Hilton: Walking away wondering 'Why the hell did I pay attention to this girl?'
Confessions of an Heiress is occasionally witty, (no thanks to the ghostwriter who ACTUALLY wrote this: Do we really expect she penned this herself. yeah, right! That would inevitably interfere with her partying lifestyle!) but really odd in it's view of a lifestyle that maybe 5 people can actually relate to.
I got the sense that Paris really wanted to give the audience a sense that she has some depth behind the party girl...but my impression was the 'depth' had the quivalent of a bird bath in August! I really think she's good at being a 'party girl' and an Heiress, because she hasn't been raised any other way. And the lifestyle she describes? Well, let's just say those millions of hers will make some plastic surgeon VERY happy some day.
Overall, if you enjoy listening to a spoiled Rich Girl prattle on about her life, and you want to help give Paris the impression that she is actually EARNING money, they buy her book. Otherwise...it just wouldn't interest the average adult reader, and could border on insulting anyone who earns their own living.
