Five Favorite Films with Paris Hilton
by Jen Yamato
Discuss Article
Page | 1 2
You're here because you have a role in Darren Bousman's film, Repo! The Genetic Opera, which seems to be kind of an unusual choice for you. What kind of roles are you usually offered, and why did you choose to venture into this Goth rock opera?

Paris Hilton
: I'm always offered basically to play myself, or another blond role, so it's hard to really do anything with it, because it's like, you know, whatever. So I was really honored and excited when I got the call from Darren about it because I love all the Saw movies. The fact that I was being offered such a different role was really exciting for me, and I wanted to show people that I can do a lot more than what I've been offered.

I remember hearing Darren talk about how impressed they were at your auditions by your singing.

PH: Yeah, auditions were a lot of fun. I'm so excited I got the part! I really worked hard with my voice coach; this was completely different from my last album. The music was hardcore, so I really had to train. Doing those exercises really helps, they really built up my voice. I was excited to do another album so I set up a recording studio at my house, did a whole album this summer, wrote all the songs...so that's coming out next month.

What kind of album will this be?

PH:A lot of the songs are very tongue-in-cheek, like I'm joking around and making fun of my image a little bit. And then some songs are more serious, some are love songs, anthem kind of songs.

Acting-wise, what are your goals?

PH:Well, people have been seeing Repo and giving great reviews, so I've been getting many offers and calls to do a lot. I'd like to play a total nerd, I think that would be fun.

Please, please somebody say that Paris does NOT have the classic beauty of Hepburn. Good choices all. I own every one of these.

I read this list. I liked it. I don't like her or the way she talks. It's annoying.

Not a bad list, really. Can't say I'm a fan of Paris Hilton and her inexplicable fame, but this list could definitely have been worse.

Why, I'm positively astounded at the niceness our readers have displayed here! I'm so proud of you all! And I was secretly shocked to see that Beaches has such a low Tomatometer...that movie is good.

I knew 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' would be on here before I even clicked the link.

Paris is Holly Golightly, only without all that, you know, like, substance, and junk...

And Jen, 'Beaches' has such a low Tomatometer, because, let's face it, it's sappy. And before you go ballistic, I didn't mind it that much either. Though I did have to brush my teeth immediately afterward. Don't want cavities, you know.

That's fine, vitajex - I completely understand. Yeah, I saw Beaches at a young age...many times, over and over on cable TV. They used to play the same movies like 20 times in one weekend! Anyhow I couldn't go ballistic on you. Vitajex, did you ever know that you're my hero? You're everything - everything - I wished I could be. I can fly higher than an eagle, but you are the wind beneath my wings.

Our Audrey Hepburn?

I think I'm going to be sick. And I don't even like Audrey Hepburn that much.

I can't say that I'm a huge fan of Paris Hilton or anything - but this list is pretty great. Edward Scissorhands? Yes, please.

I can't say I'm a fan of Paris's acting, singing, etc, but her film choices are actually good.
She didn't choose the ones EVERYONE choose (Star Wars, Citizen Kane)
I'm suprised she like Edward Scissorhands and Tim Burton, she doesn't seem the type.

You only sang that song to me because Jay Leno's taking my place on Rotten Tomatoes.

She cannot talk to save her life. "Uh, I like the trees and the sky." Not a bad list though

Not bad. "Breakfast" and "Scissorhands" are damn good choices. "Beaches" sucks, but try telling that to any woman.
