Paris Hilton

The blonde heiress claimed to be "embarrassed" and "upset" when ex-lover Rick Salomon leaked a tape of them having sex and was always adamant she had not profited from it.
A source at a post-Oscars party claims to have heard Paris laughing and boasting with Rick about making $1 million from the official release of 'One Night in Paris', according to the New York Post newspaper.
Paris' representative, Elliot Mintz, has confirmed Paris did speak with Rick at the party, but insists the sex tape was not mentioned.
Elliot revealed Paris went home with another former flame, Stavros Niarchos, saying: "All is well on the home front."
The infamous footage was put on the internet in 2003.
Rick then sold it to an adult film production company who converted the home movie into a DVD narrated by Rick.
The film went on to become the biggest celebrity sex tape of all time.
In 2004, Paris sued the Panama based company Kahatani Ltd for damages claiming she had been "humiliated" by the distribution of the tape and her privacy had been invaded.
