Paris Hilton will show her “real” self in her new TV show

The 29-year-old heiress has promised ‘The World According to Paris‘ – which will air on US network Oxygen in the spring –will show her how she really is, unlike the “character” she created to appear with pal Nicole Richie on ‘The Simple Life’ between 2003 and 2007.

She said: “On ‘The Simple Life’, I was playing a character I kind of invented. I didn’t realise the show would last five seasons, so I had to keep doing it. I think people assume that’s really how I am in real life. But when I’m with my friends and my family is when I feel most comfortable and myself. In the show, it really shows the real Paris.”

Paris has been followed round-the-clock by cameras since October and the socialite believes the show will give a true account of her “crazy and fearless” life.

She told The Hollywood Reporter: “There are so many crazy things on the show, but one of the craziest is jumping out of a plane and skydiving,

“I’m fearless, and I live life to the fullest and feel like you only live once so you should make the most of it. Jumping out of a plane is the most incredible feeling in the world.

“We’ve been shooting since October-November, and it’s whole access into my life. I’m shooting from the moment I wake up until I go to bed at night.

“I kind of scream at them sometimes when they come in so early.”

Paris – who is dating Las Vegas nightclub boss Cy Waits – also revealed some conversations and arguments have been recorded that she “can’t believe the world is going to see” – and that some special guests will appear on the show.

She explained: “So far there’s two, and we’re not even halfway done shooting.”

Lindsay Lohan Power Meeting — Let’s Get Working

Lindsay Lohan just walked out of a BIGTIME meeting with a major celebrity jewelry designer – as well as key members of her team — in an effort to kick-start her post-rehab career.

Lindsay’s business date was with Pascal Mouawad — a jeweler who’s worked with stars like Heidi Klum and Nicole Richie.

We’re told the two sides discussed the possibility of creating an upcoming line together — the second time they’ve talked about teaming up. Back in 2009, they kicked around the idea … but nothing ever came to fruition.

However, this meeting was all business — because after the jewelry talk, we’re told Lindsay’s top people (lawyers, managers, etc) strategized about upcoming film projects and other career moves.

According to our sources, Lindsay has “multiple scripts” to consider.

Not among them … a biopic of a 1970s porn star.

Nicole Richie didn’t invite Paris Hilton to her wedding because she only wanted to have guests “who care” about her

The socialite tied the knot with long-term partner Joel Madden on Saturday (14.12.10) in front 130 of her closest friends and family, but her former best friend was notable by her absence.

Explaining why Paris wasn’t invited, Nicole said: “We only wanted to celebrate with the people who we love and who care about us.”

Nicole and Joel – who have two children, Harlow, two, and 15-month-old Sparrow, together – married at the Beverly Hills estate of her father Lionel Richie, and the 29-year-old beauty admits her dad was delighted by the couple’s union.

She told Germany’s In magazine: “My dad calls Joel my Prince Charming. And that’s what he is!”

Nicole – who wore three different Marchesa gowns on her big day – was also delighted to have children involved in the ceremony, which was held under a tent transformed to resemble a French garden.

She added: “Joel let me organise my dream wedding.

“Harlow didn’t sprinkle the flowers, she just kept putting handfuls of them on the floor. Sparrow was the ring-bearer.”

Sources have previously insisted Paris – who has been friends with Nicole since they were just two years old – was not upset about not being invited to the nuptials.

One insider said: “She and Nicole aren’t close anymore, but there are no hard feelings there. They just grew up and apart.”

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden tied the knot in a lavish ceremony last night (11.12.10)

The couple – who have been dating for four years and have two children, Harlow, two, and 15-month-old Sparrow, together – said their vows in front of 130 close friends and family at Nicole’s father Lionel Richie’s vast Beverly Hills estate.

With Joel’s twin brother and fellow Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden reportedly assuming the role of best man, it is believed one particularly unusual guest was in attendance at the nuptials.

According to gossip website Radar Online, a trained elephant named Tai was spotted being led into the estate prior to the wedding.

Meanwhile, DJ Samantha Ronson was bridesmaid, while several high-profile close friends, including Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale, Kris Jenner and music legend Quincy Jones – who is also Nicole’s godfather – also saw the couple marry.

However, the 29-year-old star’s former best friend Paris Hilton – with whom she famously had a well-documented spat in 2005 – was reportedly nowhere to be seen at the nuptials.

Nicole – who is believed to have worn a custom-made Marchesa gown – was said to be keen to ensure her wedding was only attended by the couple’s “closest friends and family”.

An insider told People magazine: “They wanted an Old Hollywood, glamourous feel to their wedding. They went all-out with the decor. Nicole wanted a memorable, elegant affair for only their closest friends and family on their special day.”

Richie’s Line Files $230,000 Lawsuit

Too Fab has learned the company behind Nicole Richie’s designer line Winter Kate is suing a swanky L.A. boutique for $230,000.

According to legal docs filed recently in L.A. County Superior Court, Majestic Mills — the company that owns Richie’s label — claims L.A. boutique Kitson received $239,437 worth of Richie’s duds to sell in their stores, but still hasn’t paid for them.

Majestic claims Kitson promised to remit within 30 days of receiving an invoice when they inked the deal earlier this year — but according to the docs, months have already gone by and Majestic has nothing to show for it.

Majestic wants Kitson to hand over every last cent for the clothes — worth $60 to $600 apiece — on top of whatever interest the boutique owes.

Calls to Kitson haven’t been returned.

Nicole Richie Probation Extended Because of Babies

TMZ has learned … Nicole Richie’s probation was just extended by a year, because she’s been so preoccupied with her kids, she hasn’t taken the required number of alcohol ed courses.

Nicole is on probation because of her 2006 DUI, when she was arrested after driving the wrong way on an L.A. freeway.

Nicole’s probation was due to terminate next month, but today in court, her lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, explained to the judge … because she had program-approved leaves of absence in order to deliver and care for her two kids, she didn’t complete the required number of alcohol ed courses.

So Nicole’s probation was extended until March, 2011.

The judge said he would terminate her probation earlier if she completes the alcohol ed program before March.

The alcohol ed report gives Nicole high marks, noting, “Her attitude is excellent.”  Hear that Lindsay?

Nicole Richie is ready to start finalising plans for her wedding

The TV star-and-fashion designer – who is engaged to Joel Madden – is free of work commitments and is focused on getting everything in place for her big day.

Nicole – who recently completed a tour of Europe to promote her new fashion range Winter Kate and her House of Harlow jewellery collection – told US talk show host Ellen DeGeneres: “I’ve been on the road. I just got home, and so it’s really going to be now that’s the time for me to sit down and think about what I want.”

Although the 28-year-old beauty is ready to start organising her nuptials she and Joel – who raise two children together, daughter Harlow, two, and six-month-old son Sparrow – are yet to pick a date.

When asked by Ellen if she had a day in mind, she replied: “Not yet, but soon.”

Earlier this week, Nicole claimed Joel has no say in their forthcoming nuptials.

The Good Charlotte rocker admitted Nicole is the one in charge of the plans, saying: “It’s the same thing as our engagement, we’re kind of doing it at our own pace. We have no idea right now.”

Nicole – who revealed their engagement last month – then quipped: “Like he has any say.”

The ‘Basic Instinct’ actress says she struggles to put on weight and has to fight hard to maintain her size six/eight frame.

She said: “I have to watch not getting too skinny. I’m a mover. I’m not one of those people who can survive on salad. I love a big steak dinner and I’m obsessed with finding the perfect hamburger.

“They do one at the Tower Bar here in Los Angeles which come son an English muffin with arugula and brie, and they serve it with French fries and truffle oil. That really sends me.”

As well as eating a lot so as not to get too thin, the 51-year-old star – who has adopted children Roan, nine, Laird, four, and Quinn, three – makes sure she exercises regularly to stay in shape.

She added to Tatler magazine: “I do pilates. I bike, I canoe, I walk. I try to take the stairs more than the elevator and I chase my children.”

Sharon is not the only star to confess to a love of the calorific food.

‘Nine’ actress Penelope Cruz recently reveals she eats fast food every week and even stopped off for a snack  before winning the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in ‘Vicky Cristina Barcelona’ last year.

She said: “I ate an In-N-Out burger and then I went to the red carpet. What’s so surprising about that? I do it, like, once a week or once every two weeks. It’s my little treat for myself. I love the Double-Double with fries.”

During her second pregnancy, Nicole Richie – who has 23-month-old daughter Harlow and son Sparrow, three months, with Good Charlotte star Joel Madden – regularly made the rocker make late night trips to buy burgers for her.

The socialite was given a list of strict rules to follow when she met the 83-year-old monarch at the Royal Variety Performance yesterday (07.12.09), and has jokingly claimed  the sovereign is very demanding.

Nicole posted a photograph of her instructions on her twitter account, along with the phrase: “Rules for meeting me. That’s right, I’m a DIVA with a capital D!!(sic)”

The letter – titled “Etiquette Notes” – depicts the traditional rules people must follow when meeting members of the British family.

It reads: “Please can all artists who are taking part in The Royal Line Up to meet Her Majesty take note of the following:

“One first addresses the Queen as ‘Your Majesty’. Please wait before offering your hand. It is not mandatory to curtsey or bow. One does not speak until spoken to. After that, one can address Her Majesty as ‘Ma’am’ as in jam not ‘Mar’am’ as in smarm.

“You first address the Duke of Edinburgh (Prince Philip) as ‘Your Royal Highness’. After that it is ‘Sir’. “

Underneath the picture, the 28-year-old TV star wrote the note: “At royal variety show. Rules for meeting her majesty. God save the queen!”

The Royal Variety Performance is an annual variety show held in the UK, which is attended by members of the British royal family.

It will be aired on British TV channel ITV1 on December 16.

The socialite – who starred in hit reality show ‘The Simple Life’ with Paris Hilton – has teamed up with US TV network ABC to create a new comedy show, which she will also star in.

The mother-of-two said on her website: “I am so excited to announce that I am officially working on a television project. I am creating a half hour scripted comedy for ABC in which I will be starring in, as well as producing.”

“The comedy revolves around a young, modern and professional woman who must balance her business and family relationships. She must deal with, and navigate, the many ideas of what a woman’s role is: modern vs. traditional.”

Nicole – who recently announced she was putting herself on bedrest after being hospitalised with pneumonia – has been inspired by women from all different walks of life for the show.

She said: “Lately, I have been surrounded by many different women of all ages and walks of life. It amazes me to watch and observe how many different ideas there are about what a woman’s role should be in this era. I’ve taken these fascinating ideas, and compiled them into something that I think will be very special and funny! We’re still in the very early stages and I can’t wait to share more with you soon!”

Nicole – who gave birth to son Sparrow in September – wrote on her blog: “Right now it’s important for me to stay in bed and recover. Reading all of your messages on Twitter and my website has really brightened my spirits and I am so grateful for the support. I look forward to seeing you all very soon.”

Nicole – who also has a 22-month-old daughter, Harlow, with Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden – will be back working in 2010 when she launches her new clothing line Winter Kate.

She said: “I will definitely be back in the spring when Winter Kate launches.”

Earlier this month, the mother-of-two was taken to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after complaining of feeling unwell and doctors quickly diagnosed her as suffering from the illness.

Her representative said: “Nicole has checked into Cedars-Sinai where she is being treated for pneumonia. She is doing well.”

Over the weekend, Nicole – who has two children, 22-month-old Harlow and two-month-old Sparrow with partner Joel Madden – had spoken about not feeling well.

She wrote on her Twitter page: “OK cold, it’s been six days. Let’s part ways graciously and keep it moving.”

Earlier this week, Nicole was granted a restraining order against two paparazzi who she claims caused her recent car accident.

The 28-year-old socialite appeared in court to testify how the two male photographers, Eduardo Arrivabene and Ivon Miguel, had been hounding her constantly.

The judge ruled the two men are to stay 50 yards away from Nicole and her two children for the next three years

The reality TV star appeared in court yesterday (16.11.09) to testify how the two male photographers, Eduardo Arrivabene and Ivon Miguel, had been hounding her constantly.

She said: “For months they have been following me prior to the October 5 accident and they continued to pursue me even after the accident. I have been diagnosed with something now and I don’t feel good.”

Speaking about the incident, which happened following a lunch with her mother, Nicole recalled: “I was on foot, I got in my car to drive east to go to a business meeting. They were cutting each other off, to lobby for a better position. They were trying to get in front of me or beside me, I was following my mom. I crossed on yellow. They ran the red light in order to follow me. Then I stopped, then out of nowhere, a car slammed right into me.”

The judge has ruled the two men are to stay 50 yards away from Nicole and her two children – 22-month-old Harlow and two-month-old Sparrow – for the next three years.

Although the 28-year-old beauty mistakenly referred to partner Joel Madden as her husband while testifying, he will not be covered by the order as they are not legally wed.

However, the Good Charlotte rocker was in court to reveal what happened when he heard from Nicole immediately after the accident.

He said: “She was hysterical. I could barely understand what she was saying. I instructed her to stay in the car. I knew the paparazzi had caused it, so I knew it would be a scene right there. She also told me when the accident happened, that they were filming her right after the accident. From the accident, from then to now, she is always terrified.”
