Book Excerpt Beyond the Spotlight




EXCERPT - Paris Hilton





A three-hour train ride was just what I needed to take the whole insane day in. I spent the entire journey trying to work out what I thought of Paris. I’m still not sure to this day. On one hand, she’s beautiful with immaculate everything and it can’t be denied that she’s endearing, friendly and quite bubbly; she’s nice to kids, she happily signs autographs and she’s definitely at home posing for photographs. But in saying all that, it’s difficult to feel any genuineness whatsoever from the star. Paris is a product. A character. An act. She says what you want to hear and she says it all in a false, childlike voice with her famous ditzy mannerisms to match. And I don't buy for one second that she’s a few fries short of a Happy Meal. Despite making a fortune as a result of her supposed stupidity, I have no doubt in my mind that Paris is really a cunning businesswoman who knows exactly what she’s doing. Underneath that sweeter than sweet exterior lies a fiercely determined person who I feel has ruthless ambition and drive and will stop at nothing to succeed. Not a million miles away from the publicly holier than thou Taylor Swift. And with a multi-million dollar empire consisting of everything from perfume and clothes to music and television, Paris is most definitely laughing at us all behind closed doors. Again, probably just like T-Swizzle.



When I finally got in to my bed that night, I was absolutely shattered. It was a marathon day full of ups and downs, hassle, stress, nerves, delays and ridiculous amounts of red tape. And I was hooked. Completely and utterly hooked. This is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. No question about it. I struggled to get to sleep that night because my mind was racing as to who was going to be part of my next A-List adventure. Paris frickin’ Hilton was going to be damn hard to top…
