world famous Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in
Manhattan. Of course, Paris doesn't live in just
one place. Her family currently owns a $10
million house in Beverly Hills, a $6.3 million
house in New York state, and a $3 million house
in the Hollywood Hills.

their jet-set lifestyles and carefree party-girl
attitudes. Paris' love live has been anything but
quiet. She has dated Leonardo DiCaprio, actor
Edward Furlong, boxer Oscar De La Hoya,

Paris is most famous for her appearance in the

film House of Wax.
In February of 2005 the contents of Paris' cell
phone were stolen and posted on the Internet.
The information included the e-mail addresses
and phone numbers of celebrities such as
Christina Aguilera, Fred Durst, Eminem, Lindsay
Lohan, Jay-Z, Anna Kournikova, Snoop Dogg,
Andy Roddick, Avril Lavigne, Frankie Muniz,
and Ashlee Simpson. These celebs recieved
thousands of calls from star-crazed fans.
Needless to say, they weren't happy.
