Hilton was born in New York City, New York, to Kathy, a socialite and actress, and Richard Hilton, a businessman. She was raised Roman Catholic and still attends Mass. She is the oldest of four children: she has one sister, Nicholai Olivia “Nicky” Hilton and two brothers, Barron Nicholas Hilton and Conrad Hughes Hilton. Hilton is mostly of German ancestry. Her paternal ancestry is completely of German ancestry, although her great-great grandfather was born in Norway to German migrants. Her great-great grandfather went on to marry Mary Genevieve, who was a German immigrant in the United States. In the U.S., they had eight children, one of them being Paris’ great-grandfather, Conrad Hilton, in New Mexico. Furthermore, she identified herself as being German on national television. She is a niece of two child stars of the 1970s, Kim and Kyle Richards.

Hilton moved between numerous exclusive homes in her youth, including a suite in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in Manhattan, Beverly Hills, and the Hamptons. As a child she was good friends with other socialites, including Nicole Richie and Kim Kardashian.

Hilton played the character of Amber Sweet, the surgery and painkiller-addicted daughter of a biotech magnate in the goth/rock musical Repo! The Genetic Opera. Critics have responded positively to her performance in the film, in which she sings and acts. In an interview Repo! director Darren Lynn Bousman revealed that he had originally refused to audition Hilton for the role of Amber Sweet. “I broke down,” says Bousman, “and I met with her, and immediately she charmed everyone in the room.” In the same interview, Bousman also revealed that Hilton was so keen to get the part that she had the script smuggled in to her during her much publicized stint in a Los Angeles jail, and used her time inside to work on her role. She played the Hottie in the box office bomb romantic comedy The Hottie and the Nottie, released in 2008 to negative reviews. She also had a minor cameo appearance as herself in the comedy An American Carol.

In April 2008, she guest starred on the My Name is Earl episode “I Won’t Die with a Little Help from My Friends”. Hilton starred in an MTV reality series titled Paris Hilton’s My New BFF, about her search for a new best friend. The series premiered on September 30, 2008.

In 2010, Hilton provided her voice for the character of Bella in the ABC family film The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation. She said of the film: “I just think it’s a really cute film” and that “I love animal movies, I love Christmas movies, and also, my grandmother, who passed away a couple of years ago from breast cancer, actually had a standard poodle and her name was Paris. So when I’m watching this, it’s kind of like watching grandma’s dog. It’s kind of like a sign to me.” The film aired on November 28.

On October 1, 2010, the Oxygen Channel gave the go-ahead to a new reality show called The World According to Paris. The show follows Hilton in her everyday life, and premiered in June 2011 and was later cancelled after the first season for low ratings.

Singing

Hilton founded Heiress Records, a sub-label of Warner Bros. Records, in 2004 and released her self-titled debut album, Paris, under that label on August 22, 2006. Although the album reached number six on the Billboard 200 for a week, its total sales volume has been low, but the first single “Stars Are Blind” was a top ten hit in 17 countries. All music commented that the album was “more fun than anything released by Britney Spears or Jessica Simpson, and a lot fresher, too.” As a whole, critical reception was mixed. Paris Hilton can also be heard singing on the soundtrack to the musical Repo! The Genetic Opera. In an interview, the director, Darren Lynn Bousman, praised her vocal skills. When talking about Hiltons’ vocal audition process for the role, Bouseman said, “We gave her some music and said, ‘You have one day to come back and perform this.’ She came back the next day, memorized everything, was pitch-perfect, I mean she was awesome.”

On July 16, 2007, Hilton confirmed that she was working on a new album with producer Scott Storch. In a recent interview with MTV, Hilton decided that her second album is going to be a dance album. She stated that she “loves Bob Sinclar” and wants to create dance-music vibe. Hilton has installed a professional recording studio in her house to work on the album. On September 30, 2008, Hilton premiered her song “My BFF” on KIIS-FM with host Ryan Seacrest. It is the first single from her as yet untitled second studio album and the theme song of her show Paris Hilton’s My New BFF. Hilton stated that she finished working on the album. A second song “Paris For President” was released along with a music video late October 2008.

For her second studio album, she had confirmed six tracks: “Jailhouse Baby”, “Platinum Blonde”, “Crave” and “My BFF”, “Paris For President”, and “Girl Tax”, “My BFF” and “Paris For President” were released in 2008 as the first two singles. In November 2008, Hilton talked with Entertainment Weekly backstage at the American Music Awards and she told them that she has finished her second album, and “wrote all the songs”. The album is featuring production by Mike Green who worked with the bands Paramore and The Matches. In December 2008, she was looking for a label to release her album, she told Entertainment Weekly. “I’m not sure which label I’m doing it with,” she said. “I’m figuring it out right now.” Later that month she stated her intention to release her album under her own record label Heiress Records.

In September 2011, at the Sun City music festival, Afrojack previewed Good Time, an unfinished demo with Hilton’s vocals. In the same month, DJ Antoine revealed that he had met with Hilton twice to discuss collaborating on her upcoming album. In October, Manufactured Superstars revealed that their next single would be “Drunk Text”, which stars Hilton in the music video.

In the January 2012 issue of FHM magazine, Hilton gave an update about her second studio album, stating: “I’ve been working on the album with lots of other top DJs for a while now and I think people will be really surprised. It’s very modern and very catchy; perfect party music”. She has since told MTV News “I was just in the studio with RedFoo the other night, so we’re going to be doing my new single with LMFAO,” and continued to say “I’m going with a whole new genre. I have Afrojack executive-producing the entire album. So we’ve just been coming up with the most incredible tracks.”. She also stated that she is working with Snoop Dogg and Flo Rida.

Barrymore was born in Culver City, California, the daughter of American actor John Drew Barrymore and Jaid Barrymore an aspiring actress. Barrymore’s mother was born in a Displaced Persons camp in Brannenburg, West Germany to Hungarian World War II refugees. Barrymore’s father was of mainly English and Irish ancestry. Her parents divorced after she was born. She has one half-brother, John Blyth Barrymore, also an actor, and two half-sisters, Blyth Dolores Barrymore and (Brahma) Jessica Blyth Barrymore.

Barrymore was born into acting: her great-grandparents Maurice Barrymore and Georgie Drew Barrymore, Maurice Costello and Mae Costello and her grandparents John Barrymore and Dolores Costello, were all actors; John Barrymore was arguably the most acclaimed actor of his generation. She is the niece of Diana Barrymore and the grandniece of Lionel Barrymore, Ethel Barrymore and Helene Costello, the great-great-granddaughter of John Drew and actress Louisa Lane Drew, and the great grandniece of Broadway idol John Drew, Jr. and silent film actor/writer/director Sidney Drew. She is also the god-daughter of director Steven Spielberg, and Sophia Loren.

Her first name, Drew, was the maiden name of her paternal great-grandmother, Georgie Drew Barrymore; her middle name, Blyth, was the original surname of the dynasty founded by her great-grandfather, Maurice Barrymore.

Barrymore’s career began when she was auditioned for a dog food commercial at 11 months old. When she was bitten by her canine co-star, the producers were afraid she would cry, but she merely laughed, and was hired for the job. She made her film debut in Altered States (1980), in which she got a small part. A year later, she landed the role of Gertie, the younger sister of Elliott, in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, which made her famous. She received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress in 1984 for her role in Irreconcilable Differences, in which she starred as a young girl divorcing her parents. In a review in the Chicago Sun-Times, Roger Ebert states: “Barrymore is the right actress for this role precisely because she approaches it with such grave calm.”

In the wake of this sudden stardom, Barrymore endured a notoriously troubled childhood. She was already a regular at the famed Studio 54 when she was a little girl, smoking cigarettes at age nine, drinking alcohol by the time she was 11, smoking marijuana at 12, and snorting cocaine at 13. Her nightlife and constant partying became a popular subject with the media. She was in rehab at age 13. A suicide attempt at age 14 put her back in rehab, followed by a three-month stay with singer David Crosby and his wife. The stay was precipitated, Crosby said, because she “needed to be around some people that were committed to sobriety.” Barrymore later described this period of her life in her autobiography, Little Girl Lost. The next year, following a successful juvenile court petition for emancipation, she moved into her own apartment.

In her late teens, her rebelliousness played itself out on screen and in print. Barrymore forged an image as a manipulative teenage seductress, beginning with the film Poison Ivy (1992), which was a box office failure, but was popular on video and cable. That same year, at the age of 17, she posed nude for the cover of the July issue of Interview magazine with her then-fiancé, actor Jamie Walters, as well as appearing nude in pictures inside the issue. She also underwent breast reduction surgery in 1992.

In 1993, Barrymore earned a second Golden Globe nomination, this time for the film Guncrazy. Barrymore would go on to pose nude for the January 1995 issue of Playboy. Steven Spielberg, who directed her in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial when she was a child and was her godfather, gave her a quilt for her 20th birthday with a note that read, “Cover yourself up”. Enclosed were copies of her Playboy pictures, with the pictures altered by his art department so that she appeared fully clothed. During a 1995 appearance on Late Show with David Letterman, Barrymore climbed onto David Letterman’s desk and bared her breasts to him, her back to the camera, in celebration of his birthday. She modeled in a series of Guess jeans ads during this time.

Barrymore began a recurring character in the animated comedy Family Guy as Brian Griffin’s simple-minded girlfriend, Jillian. She has since appeared in ten episodes. She was the subject of the 2005 documentary My Date with Drew. In it, an aspiring filmmaker and a fan of Barrymore’s, uses his limited resources in an attempt to gain a date with her. On February 3, 2004, she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Barrymore’s films have a worldwide box office gross that stands at over US$2.3 billion. According to The Hollywood Reporter’s annual Star Salary Top 10, she was tied for eighth place on the top ten list of actresses’ salaries, commanding 10 to 12 million dollars per movie for 2006. On February 3, 2007, Barrymore hosted Saturday Night Live (SNL) for the fifth time, making her the second female host (after Candice Bergen) in the show’s history to do so. She hosted again on October 10, 2009, becoming the first female to host six times. Barrymore still holds the record as the youngest celebrity ever to host the show (1982, at age seven). In March 2012, Barrymore is set to co-host the twelfth season of The Essentials, a film showcase on Turner Classic Movies which spotlights significant classic films. She will be hosting alongside TCM regular, Robert Osborne.

Barrymore became a CoverGirl Cosmetics’ model and spokeswoman in 2007. Today, Drew Barrymore is still one of the faces for CoverGirl, alongside Queen Latifah and Taylor Swift. The company partnered up with Drew because “she emulates the iconic image of CoverGirl with her fresh, natural beauty and energetic yet authentic spirit” said Esi Eggleston Bracey, Vice President and General Manager of CoverGirl Cosmetics North America. She has brought not only her personality into this endorsement but also her creative side, as she is also a co-creator of the ads. She was No. 1 in People’s annual 100 Most Beautiful People list in 2007. Also in 2007, she was named the new face for the Gucci jewelry line. Barrymore is signed to IMG Models New York City.

In May 2007, Barrymore was named Ambassador Against Hunger for the United Nations World Food Programme66 and later donated $1 million to the cause. In September 2010, Barrymore was confirmed to play the role of Ganga in the Indian Bollywood film The Lifestyle – In Generation Next to be directed by Santosh Kumar Jain, to be released in 2012. Several articles and interviews reported Barrymore’s taste for photography. As a guest photographer for a magazine series called “They Shoot New York,” she appeared on the cover holding a Pentax K1000 film camera. She hopes to expose her work in a gallery one day, as she documented the last decade of her life with a Pentax camera.

Everyone is looking for perfect Valentines gift ideas for boyfriends and girlfriends.

For Valentines gift ideas, it doesn’t get more unique than hooking up with some Valentines Day tattoos!

Whether the both of you are into ink or just one of you, a tattoo on Valentines can be the perfect gift. It is incredibly romantic and very extreme which can be a huge turn on.

Here are the different ways to go about setting up a Valentines Day tattoo:

1. Spontaneous. Some people say that tattoos where meant to be spontaneous. In the moment art. A great way to round off an evening is to surprise your guy or girl with a trip to the parlor. There they can pick out whatever design they choose. Perhaps they have been eyeing something specific for some time. You can get in the act as well. How romantic would it be to say “pick out a design of your choice, and we’ll both get it inked on!”
2. Tattoo gift certificate. If you are not sure your guy or gal is going to be spontaneous enough to get inked on the spot, then a tattoo gift certificate can work just as good. And you don’t have to get the full amount of a design, but rather, say 25 or 50 dollars towards any design. You can hide the certificate inside a box of chocolates or surprise them with it some other way. This is a great, unique approach for Valentines gift ideas. And, if you do take the approach above and arrive at the tattoo parlor, you can give them the option of getting inked on the spot, or getting a certificate for later.
3. Tattoo Member Site. This is a great way to get your girl or guy some amazing ink ideas, and it compliments a tattoo gift certificate perfectly. There are sites online that you can join which have thousands of amazing ink ideas that you can print right out, take to the parlor and you’re good to go. You can also plan the whole thing out by letting them know that their Valentines gift is going to be a trip to the tattoo shop, and then they will have some time to browse through a tattoo membership site online so they can pick out their ideal design. Or here’s the best approach: email them access to the site on the morning of Valentines, and then tell them they have until tonight to find their favorite design. This way you accomplish being both surprising and spontaneous, while at the same time allowing at least some planning!
   

The heart has gone from a simple muscle in a body, to the symbol of love as far back into history an one can imagine. Who ever thought that so many meanings could come out of one simple picture? From Valentine’s Day (hallmark and florists probably live for that day!) to the arrow-wielding cherub we lovingly call Cupid, the word “love” is no longer necessary! There is no need to spell out “love” at the end of a letter, since it is simpler to draw a heart shape to suffice.

I believe that many heart tattoos also do not last very long before they receive a cover-up tattoo. This seems certain, especially if the tattoo also shows the name of an intimate partner! Just think of how many times a man covers up a cute tattoo of two hearts squished together. Of course, if it were up to me, any guy who had enough, uh – guts (yeah, let’s go with guts) would simply cross out the old name, and put the new girlfriends’ name under the ex’s name!

The Cupid cherub made its debut into the limelight in Grecian times. Known as Eros, the God of Love, he married a woman that his mother had not consented. They came to a rather strange agreement – he could marry, as long as the woman (her name was Psyche) never saw Cupid’s face. The two loved one another, and lived happily, until her sisters started laying the seeds of doubt into Psyche’s head. Beginning to think that perhaps Cupid was grotesque or disfigured (why he wore the mask), she peeked under the mask as he slept one night. Both were punished for her actions, and were forced to leave one another. In order to get him back, Psyche was sent to retrieve Pandora’s box. She peeked into that as well, and was killed. Cupid’s love and compassion brought her back to life, and turned her into a Goddess.

Valentine’s Day was begun based upon Saint Valentine, a priest who supposedly defied the orders of a Roman king. The king believed that single men made better soldiers (since they had no one to dream about during wartime), so he outlawed marriage within his soldiers. The priest defied the king’s order, because he felt that love was what steadied a man -made them fight harder to survive. For it, he was jailed and put to death, but gained sainthood for his actions.

Many pictures have developed from that one symbol. The heart with an arrow signifies that Cupid has targeted and found your heart, after you have found the love of your life. The jagged edges of a heart split in two tends to be the next step, once your so-called life mate has gone from your life. Moreover, just think of all of the different ways you can ink your love forever! Don’t forget though, in case of accidental choices – there are always tattoo artists that have been creative enough to figure out how to cover up a mistake!

Valentine’s Day is just as good of day as any to get a tattoo. However, a lot of people tend to get a little too romantic on this particular holiday in the tattoo department. Several people will visit their local tattoo parlor or studio and get the ill fated lover’s name tattooed on them. This is the ultimate tattoo no no. Tattoo artists themselves advise their clients not to go through will name tattoos because 90% of them end up being a huge regret.

If you are dead set on getting a tattoo on Valentine’s Day you may want to consider some alternatives. If you are a woman go with a cute little hot pink heart somewhere on your body or get a beautiful rose. Better yet if you are the boyfriend, or husband of the woman buy them a tattoo of their favorite flower, that way they will have it forever. Now if you are a man getting a Valentine’s Day tattoo is a little more tricky. You could always go with the traditional tattoo of a heart with a dagger going through it and have the word MOM written in the middle.

None the less if you are considering getting a tattoo on this lover’s holiday be sure that you have given a ton of thought to it and don’t make a huge mistake. Just remember tattoos are forever and sadly love does not last forever. Human beings fall in and out of love all the time. So be very wise about your tattoo choice.
