Paris Hilton — model, reality TV star, actor, pop singer and DJ — gained worldwide notoriety in 2003 because of a leaked sex tape. Over the years she has been viciously parodied and lampooned, famously on South Park and in World of Warcraft.
But she has endured — and this week launched a new podcast, This Is Paris.
In the first episode, Hilton and her co-host, US television personality Hunter March, discuss love, commitment and hard work. Hilton's fiance, Carter Reum also appears — apparently as a favour to her "because you know I hate this stuff". The episode ends with a modern advice column in which Hilton responds to fan voicemail questions, including "how do I look hot on Zoom?"
