Paris Hilton Gets More Exposure
Paris
Hilton is no shy lady. Yes, I did say ‘lady,’ regardless of what she has
prompted the
press
to print. Hilton posed nude for the Rich Water Foundation. The foundation,
located in Berlin, was set up by Paris and the inventor of the Rich Prosecco
drink. Hilton is now the face of the new can of sparkling wine called Rich
Prosecco. The young socialite said her entrepreneurship started in her family.
Perhaps it did, but they are in the hospitality field. Paris Hilton, on the
other hand, has taken it in another direction, although not everyone would agree
with her choices.
Incidentally, one of Paris’ friends was overheard saying that she
would be attending the NATPE,
National Association of Television Programming Executives, convention in Las
Vegas regarding some television opportunities.
