But, like Simpson’s hit book, Hilton certainly could reveal behind-the-scenes details of some infamous incidents, relationships and pop culture touchstone moments. Meantime, comedian Sarah Silverman apologized in March to Hilton for a vicious 2007 award show joke at her expense.

The experience leaves its mark, as she ends up feeling abandoned and neglected by her own family at 14.Skin care is sacred,” she declares in italics and she supplements the decalogue that Moses brought down from the mountain by adding her own 11th commandment: this recommends a slathering of sunscreen, her equivalent to extreme unction.

Myself included, I'm ashamed that I was lead to believe that Lady Paris was some ditzy blonde with a privilege that blinds agency. I'll be honest, I have never been a fan of Paris Hilton, but after her revelation a few years ago that she has been playing a role all these years, that she's not really the person she has been portraying, I was intrigued about her memoir. It’s the same diversion tactic she used when she was a little girl, who didn’t know she had ADHD, to when she was a celebrity in her early 20s, clowning the public with her act of the ditzy bimbo. Maybe that’s the point: The memoir is about the horrors she suffered as a teenager, rather than the trailblazing party life she led in the middle “in the throes of PTSD.To consolidate her triumph, Hilton is currently starting a family: having hired a surrogate to do the obstetric chores, she regrets missing out on a new wardrobe of “amazing maternity looks” and has no Beyoncé belly to document in selfies, but she keeps busy by scanning the map for cities, states and countries after which her offspring might be named. This air-headed mysticism merges with the digital revolution, which allowed Hilton to disseminate her image around the globe and to seep into our defenceless heads. It changed my dislike for her to ambivalence, and I will still continue to jam to Stars Are Blind because I love it. HILTON: I am saying no a lot just because I want to be there for all the moments, so I’m trying to do as much from home as possible, building my podcasting studio there, my recording studio for my music, a photo studio for photoshoots.
