Paris Hilton: Prude?

By: Shannon Gossage

Paris Hilton has recently stated that she is not as "raunchy" as the public would believe her to be. Despite the infamous sex tape One Night in Paris that she made with her ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon and the numerous pictures of her half-naked, Hilton says she is not a sexual person. In an interview, Hilton said, "I think I’m sexual in pictures and the way I dress and my whole image, but at home I’m really not like that. All of my ex-boyfriends – of course, not Paris – would be like, ‘What’s the matter with you? You’re so not sexual.’"

Hilton, who called Salomon a "total slime" and a "sleazeball" after he released their sexcapades on the Internet last year, should probably be thanking the sleaze. One Night in Paris catapulted her into the limelight. Yeah, we’ve known about Paris for a while now, but now we can’t escape her. Since her sex romp became one of the highest selling adult videos she has had her hand in a little bit of everything. She has appeared in a number of movies, opened a club or two, produced a perfume line, written a bestseller, recorded an album, and of course who can forget her reality show?

Her latest venture is as "fiancée" since boyfriend Paris Latsis plopped a big fat 24-carat rock on her finger. No official word yet when the happy couple is set to say "I Do," but there have been recent reports that they may not ever utter those words…to one another anyway. During the MTV Video Music Awards in Miami she accompanied Scott Storch, executive producer of her upcoming album, and the two were reportedly "joined at the hip" the entire weekend. It was also reported that when a friend asked her if she was serious about getting married she said, "I don’t know. I’m just having fun." Of course her publicist tells a different story of Paris being in love and ready to marry Paris. And, of course, Storch is "just a friend."
