Paris Hilton says she’s finally all grown up

Paris Hilton says she’s finally all grown up. Even though she’s been starring in sex tapes and baring her breasts for years (something most of us consider pretty “grown up” – though certainly not mature), Paris says she only recently started feeling like an adult. And you can guess why – because of a guy. Boyfriend of six months Benji Madden, no less. Apparently they’re super-mature relationship has rendered Paris a real and true adult. As far as she’s concerned.

Paris Hilton may have been surrounded by adults dressed as superheroes and Star Wars characters at San Deigo’s Comic-Con International, but the heiress-turned-actress says “I just feel like a grown-up now,” thanks to her current romance with musician Benji Madden and their more low-key lifestyle.

“I think my whole life I was kind of living as a teenager and not really taking responsibility,” Hilton, who visited the Con to support her new film – and well-received performance in – Repo! The Genetic Opera, told PEOPLE. “Now I realize that I’m an adult and I’m running a huge company and I’m in love. I’m in a great relationship. I have my family. I’m just excited for life.”

When the notion of tying the knot with Madden (whose brother Joel is the paramour of Nicole Richie) was broached, Hilton was cautiously optimistic. “I don’t know,” she mused. “We’re so in love and so happy right now and it’s only been like six months. So we’ll see what happens, but we’re so in love and so happy and things have never been better. I finally have a nice guy.”

For a minute I was almost impressed, thinking Paris Hilton had learned to stop yapping to everyone about how much she wanted to get married and have babies right away. But then she started talking about Benji’s niece Harlow Madden, and how cute she is and how much she loves babies. I’m pretty sure the People reporter was just nice enough to cut her off before she started clutching her ovaries and talking about her infamous baby deadline.

Either she’s getting a tad better at interviewing, or she really has matured a hair. Because Paris doesn’t sound quite as asinine as usual. And maybe for some of us being a real grownup just means being less dumb than you used to be.

    cb, ur disgusting. stop making snard remarks abt paris. jst because ur anti paris doesnt mean the whole world is. and she has the right to coo over harlow. it is her best friends baby. duuhhhh!!

  3. PIPPA says:

    I still think that she is trying to emulate her friend Nicole in a way. However if Nicole is a good influence on her then surely that’s a good thing. 😀

  4. twaddle says:

    I was going to comment about “they’re super-mature relationship” (which should be “their”) until I saw comment #2 by jamesbond.

  5. Sixxkitty says:

    Paris is all grown up! like i buy that lie for a second! No-one with that amount of fluff and egotism ever grows up! look at the jail incident, special treatment just tells her shes special. And i don’t mean she can park in the handicapped zone!
    I’m so tired of her and her poo don’t stink attitude. Nicole Richie has grown up, admitted her mistakes and put them behind her, all Paris has done is cry so we all want to wipe her tears..ugh!
    If she was growing at all, she would be able to construct a sentance that didn’t have her in it!
    *vomits*

  6. Cat says:

    She said the same thing when she was released from jail. She is still the consummate liar. That’s NOT grown up Paris. This “huge company” is collecting monies from manufacturers that she leases her name to. They do the work — she does the publicity. Still a phony. She just doesn’t know how to stop lying.

  7. xiaoecho says:

    I had an image of her holding her arms wide and with a happy grin saying “I’m all grown up and I’m this big”

    Not going to nightclubs and constantly smoking dope anymore doesn’t make you grown up

    I’m SURE she’s not as simple as she makes out………surely!!!

  8. Cricket says:

    I will believe Paris Hilton has grown up when she proves she has grown up. Actions speak louder than words. If she has grown up, it’s about time…isn’t she 26 or so?

  9. vdantev says:

    *derisive snort*

  10. Wes says:

    More phony bravado from someone who believes her own spin. She said the same thing a year ago. Since then:

    “I spent most of my time in jail studying the bible, and reflecting on my life;” “I’m claustrophobic;” “[Rwanda]Yeah…I’m scared…I hear it’s really dangerous…if there’s a problem with the food, I’ll eat candy bars;” “I want to f__k you all;” “I created my empire all on my own;” “West Africa is a great country.” “[Her butt] reminds me of cottage cheese inside a big trash bag…it’s gross;” “Yeah…I think I’m a good role model.”

    There’s a lot more, but who needs it? We’ve all got much better things to do with our time. It doesn’t require a giant leap into the unknown to understand why it’s obvious to many that she’s a liar and a flake. Enough said.

  11. geronimo says:

    Useless pointless witless ginormous-footed wonk-eyed waste of space.

  12. daisy424 says:

    She will be ‘all growed up’ to me when she learns how to clean a toilet.

    Love your posts Geronimo & Wes.

    Jamesbond, I am now convinced you’re really a 12 year old ‘valley girl’.

  13. snappyfish says:

    The problem with Paris is….well to much to list here. Why do we even know who she is? This is not a celebrity. She is from a wealthy family and behaves badly (sex tape, DUI etc)

    When she behaves in an adult manner, educates herself to realize her 15 minutes are over and fades into the background, I will believe that she has, indeed, matured. Something you need to be in order to be ‘grown up’

  14. bros says:

    thanks wes for paris hilton’s greatest hits. that was funny.

  15. Anastasia says:

    If you really are a grown-up, there’s no need to TELL people you are a grown-up now. They can see it in your actions.

    Shut up, Paris. Go the hell away.

  16. Geo says:

    Paris, once again, opens mouth — inserts foot?

    Running a huge company? The size of a company is not predicated on the amount of revenues it generates. In the United States, a small business employs fewer than 100 employees. I know true entrepreneurs who actually created their own companies from start-up mode; they now employ less the 100 employees, but generate revenues well into the 8 & 9-figure range. They are not huge companies that normally employ thousands of people. To refer to an organization as such is tantamount to phony posturing, at best.

    No one is disputing Hilton’s business acumen in reaping substantial profits from endorsing products others create, all of which dates back to the publicity of that sex tape she allowed to be distributed once the cash started to roll in. She is not truly intelligent, but she is hardly the “dumb, sweet, or innocent blond” persona she falsely projected to the general public. However, given Ms. Hilton’s history of dishonesty and gross exaggeration, I’ll believe her claims when I see them on paper. Furthermore, I’m certain that Ms. Hilton has input into certain aspects of her “company,” but by no stretch of the imagination is she actually “running a huge company.”

    I don’t think I’ve laughed this hard at anything all week. 😆

    Paris Hilton being “grown up” is like Charles Manson being “completely sane” in that you know it will never fucking happen.

  18. Shane says:

    Paris, give some big money to charity. Then see how your image improves. Selfish sorority girl.

  19. AP says:

    You’re being sarcastic, right? I’m bad at detecting sarcasm. The whole tone of this entry was sarcastic, right?

  20. ABC's says:

    It’s “Apparently THEIR super-mature relationship”…not spelled as “THEY’RE” which is the contraction of “they are”

  21. jmflynny says:

    I have to say, she looks healthier and more fit than ever.

  22. bros says:

    no shane, she didnt get far enough to even get to college to be a sorority girl. did this waste of flesh even graduate high school?

  23. wanda farian says:

    Apparently Paris has an IQ of 90.
    Sort of speaks for itself doesn’t it?

  24. Amy says:

    Man, that Repo musical looks like the kind of trash I would normally love, but why does this shaved Sasquatch have to be in it? WHY?!

  25. Snowblood says:

    Geo, that was an intense post, and WandaFarian – really? She’s only got 90 IQ points? Damn… That makes so much more make sense about her.

    I say, let the bitch be, she’s NOT Charles Manson, she’s just a daft American heiress who’s clueless as to what it is to really love oneself, or feel loved by someone else. I’ve got nothing against Paris Hilton, and I never really have. It’s like being fucking disgusted and furious with a puppy for peeing on the rug – she’s a puppy, in that sense, and apparantly has finally gotten house-trained and so thinks now she’s “all grown up.” Good for her!

    I saw her on Letterman a couple weeks ago, and she really DID come across as sincerely happy & in love with Benji whatsisname. How can anyone hate on that?

  26. Roma says:

    I think the real thing we should be focusing on is how gorgeous her dress is.

  27. Geo says:

    Snowblood:

    If you find that post intense — you’ll have to take it up with Hilton — it just states the facts. Just to clear up any more of your confusion — no one hates her relationship with Benji. How did you end up with that interpretation?

    By the way, Letterman was rather tough on Paris during the second half of that interview. I was surprised at the way he clearly patronized her, and treated her like a self-entitled, insecure adolescent. He dropped the scripted façade (and the kid gloves), during the second half of the interview; within nanoseconds, he was making fun of her and that overpriced merchandise she kept plugging on his show. In all honesty, her product plugs really were gauche and tacky – they’re not even hers; she just does the publicity. People in the audience laughed at her and applauded Letterman when he poked fun at her with such barbs as: “How many cans of champagne do you have to drink before you’d buy this,” he asked holding up a box of synthetic hair extensions. (Now that was intense.)

    I’m not a judgmental person, but I couldn’t help but laugh at David’s comment, “Ladies and gentlemen, and you wonder why the rest of the world hates us.”

    Amy…

    About REPO…did you know thatParis told Newsweek Magazine during an interview that she had her people smuggle the REPO script to her while she was in jail? She said she spent her jail time practicing and memorizing the script for her REPO audition because — as she said — “I had nothing else to do.”

    I remember how she bragged about all of the letters she wrote to her fans — and she drew pictures of herself. So what happened to the majority of her jail time she claimed she spent studying the bible and reflecting on her life? This is probably why she couldn’t quote one bible passage on Larry King. But she sure knew her lines for the REPO audition.
