Can anyone tell me how did Paris Hilton become famous and Why?

Answer 1

She initially caught the tabloid and gossip column eye for her excessive partying. The fact that she practically humped every camera that came into range only furthered the interest the media had in her. Then, well aware of what that sex tape of Pam and Tommy did for both their careers, she made one of her own and OOPSIE it went public "by accident". The Simple Life was simply a means to cash in on the exploits of two brazen, spoiled, completely vapid but attractive girls. It didnt' require talent or acting, simply that the players be their usual obnoxious selves. By virtue of being infamous and young and relatively attractive, Paris landed a few roles in some teen targeted movies, where she proved that she had zero acting ability.

Truth be told, there is a big difference between famous, and infamous. Paris is infamous.

Answer 2

Well, she is an heiress to a multi-million dollar fortune. Ever hear of the Hilton Hotels? Well, that is who she is apart of. I think it was her grandfather or great-grandfather who is THE Hilton of Hilton hotels. Then, she made some mistakes by making a sex video with her boyfriend. When it got out, it made her more popular because an Heiress is supposed to be very lady like. Anyways, her money made her subject to the media and the media makes her famous. When you are in that type of a life, EVERYTHING you do is for the public to see, comment on and twist also. If you think about it, how many people do you think make video's with their partner on a daily basis? Lots. But because of her name, it was blown all out of proportion. I could never be as famous as Paris or Brittney because they have not been allowed to grow up and make mistakes without the whole world knowing about it and judging it!

Answer 3

She kinda bought her way into it. She first became popular on the Hollywood scene because of her partying antics with her sister. They were known as 'the Hilton Sisters', two young, sexy, cool, blondes who had hundreds of millions of $$$, and who spent all their time having fun traveling the world and showing up at celebrity events in expensive designer duds and turning the place upside down. Nikki Hilton grew out of it, got married and kinda settled down. Paris wanted to have more fun, so she kept it up.

She hooked up with her childhood buddy Nicole Ricthie and the two of them decided to create a name for themselves, which isn't hard to do in Hollywood when you have a lot of money and know all the right people. Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie both have it made, they both come from families that have a lot of money and everybody knows who they are. The difference between them and most Hollywood celebrities is that they don't have to rely on their latest hit to stay famous.

Paris isn't all that great looking but she does have a talent for creating enough controversy to keep people interested in her. Even if you can't stand her you still have to give her credit for making a multi-million dollar carrer out of nothing at all. She's been in a movie, recorded an album, gotten lucrative modeling gigs, and even has a fragrance and fashion accessory line. Even the most talented and ambitious people never get that far in life!

She's crying now over this jail thing, but that's probably all a part of the drama that is her life. She's going to come out of it all smiles, millions of dollars richer, and even more famous---just like Martha Stewart and Diana Ross.

Answer 4

Paris got her first real notoriety from the T.V. show The Simple Life. Yes, she does have a wealthy family but it takes allot more than a wealthy family to become famous. In my opinion I think the paparazzi fell in love with Paris because of her good looks, charm and because she has an distinct way of getting in trouble. Paris is a singer, model, actress, fashion designer and author. good luck if you can find her book. The paris Hilton book is not closed, lets see what other mischief she can get into or out of.

Answer 5

Paris is a legend in he own mind. She became famous because the media decides who is famous and who is not. This media thing is really stupid. Not only do they tell you who is famous and who is not they start reporting this crap and say this is what people want when in fact this is all they put on. Constantly, in between shows, running little banners at the bottom of the screen, it really is quite idiotic. Paris isn't famous she hasn't done anything to be famous. She is "Exposed" and "Exploited" and she is so impressed with her own importance she doesn't have a Clue

Answer 6

Because Paris Hilton has a ton of inherited money (which can obviously get someone connections and deals anywhere). Also, she's a whore and made a sex tape, which got out (probably intentionally) and made her extremely popular.

Answer 7

Her father owns the Hilton hotels chain. SHe's very very rich. Then she had videotaped sex with a guy and he spread it all over the internet, which brought her into fame. Then she was on a reality TV show with Nicole Ritchie, daughter of a rockstar. 'Nuff said

Answer 8

She's a Hilton. If you and I had been the Hilton sisters, we'd be famous this evening too! Only I can promise you, we'd have been smart enough to have our chauffeur drive us to work when we were drunk!

Answer 9

Well when you are born filthy rich and heiress to an old and well known hotel chain....doors are open to you that would never be open to the average person who has to work and earn their way in the world. You are a born star. With that comes a certain responsibility like not thumbing your nose at commoners like ourselves. It does not make one above the law...even tho they can sometimes buy their way out of problems that commoners could not. This is American and we are ALL equal under the law...even her although she has never thought it applied to her. Thus, she is having trouble living like the rest of us would if we displayed her arrogance.
Life is hard...she's just learning that now. Tough one huh?

Answer 10

Originally I think she was just someone photographed quite a bit because she was partying with celebrities. The first real fame she had I thought was from her reality show The Simple Life.
