Paris, Not France

September 9th, 2008 by Evil Beet


Paris Hilton and Benji Madden hit up the Toronto Film Festival on Tuesday for the premiere of Paris, Not France, a documentary film about — what else? — the life of Paris Hilton.

The film is the first feature effort for director Adria Petty.

With close access to Hilton, Petty shot extensive footage of Hilton talking about her image, her notorious sex tape, the tabloid photographers who follow her and just the business of being herself.

“I’m basically being judged, and they’re creating this false person, and I can’t do anything about it,” Hilton says in the film.

Featuring interviews with Hilton’s parents, sister Nicky, publicist Elliott Mintz and such personalities as Donald Trump, “Paris, Not France” follows her on business meetings, a promotional trip to Japan and everyday tasks such as getting a burger at a drive-thru while dozens of photographers take shots of her ordering.

“It’s amazing that this woman is a human being and that people actually can be ruthless enough to forget that,” Petty said. “That’s the one thing about this movie and about that experience with her is I could have just been shooting fluff, but she gave me a lot more.”

Um, is it wrong that I can’t wait to see this film?

Also: WTF is Paris wearing here? Ick.

    She is not human, but ruthless, cruel, deceitful, envious and depraved.

    whatever to the pants and vest, but that shirt is super cute.

    I have to say, I LOVE what Paris is wearing here.

    It still sickens me to see her with Benji Madden, however. She could do so much better, but who am I to judge if they are happy?

    I really don’t understand why people are so interested… She was funny when she mocked McCain, but I swear that was the first time I was interested in anything she had done…
    And that new show of hers… My BFF or whatever! WHAT THE HELL? Lets get some more super skinny low self esteem girls to go fight to be paris’ best friend…

    Gee…why don’t I DUI, go to jail crying, come out praising God, promise to help the world, party my ass off, look pretty and do nothing but still remain famous!

    Beet, as long as you keep promoting this twat, you’ll lose more and more readers.

    One again, Paris totally misses the point: Nobody thinks that Paris is dumb and insincere when it comes to exploiting herself for profit…it’s just about everything else.
