Paris also talked about BF Benji Madden, her Paris Hilton: My New BFF show, and the John McCain ad!

Paris Hilton gives a brief outline of The Hottie and the Nottie this weekend on Fox with Greta Van Susteren. Paris said she thinks that the movie has a great message and reminds her of There’s Something About Mary. Too bad it is not sharing the same success!!

Greta also talks to Paris about Harvard and a secret initiation that she had to go through when she got her Woman of the Year award.

Paris Hilton chatted with Parade and offered up these answers to questions you were dying to know!

You’ve sometimes been called a diva, but I have never once seen you be rude to anyone.

“That was definitely the way that we were raised by my mom. She always taught us to be polite. We had the best manners, so I’ve kept them.”

Any other “mom advice” you still carry with you?

“‘Put your shoulders back and don’t chew gum.’”

“My mom has always been really supportive. She’s one of my best friends. And she’s just always told me to stay the same and stay the sweet girl I’ve always been since I was little and not let any of the Hollywood stuff get to my head, and you’ll leave a good karma.”

The media seem preoccupied with the “Hollywood bad girls,” and often your name is on that list. Is that unfair?

“Yeah, you know, that’s just a stereotype they’ve come up with. And that’s fine, but I’m not a bad girl [laughs].”

We’ve even seen you under pressure during some stressful times. How do you keep the day-to-day attention from getting to you?

“I handle it really well. I don’t let that bother me or let the media or paparazzi take over my life. I try not to pay attention to things that are negative.”

It’s great to be the “hottie”, but, especially when we’re young, we never want to be the “different person.” Was that hard on you, being the one who stood out?

“Sometimes, when people would get mean just because my last name is also a famous hotel chain. But even then I had my friends, so it never really hurt me.”

Every woman has an ugly day. Do you?

“I think we’re humans. All girls feel like a “nottie” some days—like someone who isn’t turning heads. That’s just part of life. I just get a facial or a massage. Pampering yourself gets you back into “hottie”-ness.”
