Paris Hilton chatted with Parade and offered up these answers to questions you were dying to know!
Youve sometimes been called a diva, but I have never once seen you be rude to anyone.
“That was definitely the way that we were raised by my mom. She always taught us to be polite. We had the best manners, so Ive kept them.”
Any other “mom advice” you still carry with you?
“‘Put your shoulders back and dont chew gum.’”
“My mom has always been really supportive. Shes one of my best friends. And shes just always told me to stay the same and stay the sweet girl Ive always been since I was little and not let any of the Hollywood stuff get to my head, and youll leave a good karma.”
The media seem preoccupied with the “Hollywood bad girls,” and often your name is on that list. Is that unfair?
“Yeah, you know, thats just a stereotype theyve come up with. And thats fine, but Im not a bad girl [laughs].”
Weve even seen you under pressure during some stressful times. How do you keep the day-to-day attention from getting to you?
“I handle it really well. I dont let that bother me or let the media or paparazzi take over my life. I try not to pay attention to things that are negative.”
Its great to be the “hottie”, but, especially when were young, we never want to be the “different person.” Was that hard on you, being the one who stood out?
“Sometimes, when people would get mean just because my last name is also a famous hotel chain. But even then I had my friends, so it never really hurt me.”
Every woman has an ugly day. Do you?
“I think were humans. All girls feel like a “nottie” some dayslike someone who isnt turning heads. Thats just part of life. I just get a facial or a massage. Pampering yourself gets you back into “hottie”-ness.”
