Paris Hilton: Life on the Edge [Paperback]

Chas Newkey-Burden (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 28, 2008

The subject of intense media and public fascination, Paris Hilton is one of the most-discussed celebrities of her generation. From the teenage party girl who was "famous for being famous," she has blossomed into an actress, pop star, and successful businesswoman.  Paris's story takes readers behind the scenes of the most exclusive fashions shows, premieres, and parties. This revealing portrait covers the strings of famous men she has dated, including Leonardo DiCaprio and Backstreet Boy Nick Carter. Her list of friends is just as star-studded, including Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, and her The Simple Life costar Nicole Ritchie. Lifting the lid on the controversies that have plagued her life, the book tells for the first time the full story of the sex-tape saga and her 2007 imprisonment. Defying her critics, Paris emerged from jail with a fresh sense of perspective and renewed energy. Paris Hilton: Life on the Edge offers unique insight into her complex character and shows that jail was the making and not the breaking of her.

CHAS NEWKEY-BURDEN WHO WROTE THIS DECENT BOOK HAS SO MUCH HIGH PRAISE FOR THIS GIRL THAT I WONDERED IF THE CONTENT WAS DICTATED TO THIS PERSON BY MS HILTON HERSELF. THE BOOK ITSELF IS OK, THE USUAL STUFF THAT YOU PROBABLY KNOW ABOUT HER. BUT THE AUTHOR THINKS SHE IS A GREAT ACTRESS, SINGER, MODEL AND IS THE BEST THING SINCE THE PADDED BRA. PARIS HAS BEEN OUT OF THE SPOT LIGHT LATELY BUT SHE IS SO SPOILED, SELF CENTERED, AIR HEADED, UNTALENTED AND AROGANT THAT SHE SOON WILL BE. I AM SO GLAD SHE HAD TO SPEND A BIT OF TIME IN THE SLAMMER AND THAT THOSE SEX TAPES WERE DISTRIBUTED. I HOPE SHE WAS TOTALLY HUMILIATED AND HUMBLED. I DOUBT IT. IF YOU ENJOY THE GREAT TALENT OR ARE CURIOUS ABOUT THIS EASY TO BED HOE THEN THIS IS AN AVERAGE READ AT BEST.
