Paris Hilton has had it all. The money. The TV show. The perfume range. The perfume range for men. The fashion line. The week in jail. The nomination for the Best Frightened Performance award at the MTV Movie Awards. The hit single. The autobiographical tome and Pulitzer Prize winner, Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose.
