Paris Hilton does not miss The Simple Life days
Paris Hilton does not miss anything about her days on 'The Simple Life'.
The 44-year-old hotel heiress shot to fame alongside Nicole Richie in 2003 on the iconic reality show series, which saw the pair move in with the Leding family in Altus, Arkansas, to learn how middle-class families live.
But Paris - who is the great-granddaughter of Conrad Hilton, the founder of Hilton Hotels - has since distanced herself from that life.
She explained to HELLO! magazine: "I feel as though I've lived that life and done it all. I love my life now.
"I love just being at home with my family, with my babies. I'm still working a lot, but my children are my priority.
"Just seeing them wake up in the morning is so sweet. And reading stories to them at night and cuddling them is just so magical ...
"I remember when the very first 'Simple Life' aired, my mom [Kathy Hilton] took me aside and told me that my life was about to change forever, but that I should never stop being the same down-to-earth girl I am.
"I've never forgotten that."
Paris and her businessman husband Carter Reum got married in November 2021, and later welcomed Phoenix, two, and London, 12 months, into the world.
The ceremony and reception were held in her late grandfather's former home in Bel Air.
The 'Infinite Icon' singer feels grateful for Carter lifting her and their bundles of joy "every day".
Speaking about her "kindest, sweetest man", she gushed: "He's just the best. He's so incredible. He really lifts me and our two beautiful little angels every day.
"I feel so grateful for my family, my fans and my fur babies. They all make me feel so happy."
The 'Stars Are Blind' singer loves "making entertainment" and products, but she says her and Carter's children always come first before any projects.
Paris said: "I don't like to be put in a box and only be able to do one thing. I've always been like that.
"My babies come first, but there are so many things I'm passionate about. I love making entertainment. I love making products. I just love being creative and making people happy. That is what I've tried to do my whole career.
"I feel lucky that I've been able to do everything and be successful at it at the same time."

Boisson continues dream French Open run, Djokovic, Sinner eye semis
An inspired Lois Boisson delighted Roland Garros as the French world number 361 downed Mirra Andreeva on Wednesday to set up a French Open semi-final against Coco Gauff, before Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic both chase men's last-four berths. Boisson, making her debut at a Grand Slam event, powered her way to a thrilling 7-6 (8/6), 6-3 victory on a raucous Court Philippe Chatrier to become the first Frenchwoman to reach the semis since Marion Bartoli in 2011. The 22-year-old, who was due to play at last year's French Open but suffered a knee injury the week before the tournament, is the lowest-ranked woman to reach a major semi-final in 40 years. "It was incredible to play in front of this crowd and feel support like that," said Boisson, after hitting 24 winners past Russian sixth seed Andreeva to follow up her fourth-round win over world number three Jessica Pegula with an even more surprising victory. A dramatic first set saw Andreeva miss a set point after leading 5-3, before Boisson fought back only to see three chances of her own come and go in a marathon 12th game. But the wildcard fought off another set point in the tie-break, before taking her next opportunity, cupping her ear towards the adoring crowd in celebration. Andreeva gathered herself and quickly built a 3-0 lead in the second set, only to be left jumping up and down in anger after a missed backhand gave Boisson a much-needed hold of serve. The 18-year-old Andreeva started to crumble under the pressure, being given a warning for slamming a ball into the top tier of the stands as the atmosphere heated up under the Chatrier roof. She was roundly booed when she then argued with the umpire over a line call, and was broken later that game after another double-fault to suddenly trail 4-3. Boisson made it six consecutive games to secure a seismic victory as Andreeva, one of the pre-tournament favourites, completely unravelled. Second seed Gauff battled back from a set down to defeat fellow American, and Australian Open champion, Madison Keys in an error-strewn opening match 6-7 (6/8), 6-4, 6-1. The former US Open champion upped her level enough after dropping the first set to get through a quarter-final littered with 14 double-faults and a whopping 101 unforced errors. "It means a lot, especially getting through this tough match today, it wasn't an easy match and I'm very happy to get through it," she said. Gauff, the 2022 losing finalist, will be hoping to go at least one better than when she lost to Iga Swiatek in last year's semi-final. Swiatek continues her bid for a fourth consecutive Roland Garros title in a blockbuster clash with world number one Aryna Sabalenka in Thursday's other semi-final. - Zverev eyeing Djokovic scalp - Djokovic will compete in a record 19th French Open quarter-final against last year's runner-up Alexander Zverev in the night-session match. The German third seed will be well rested after his last-16 opponent Tallon Griekspoor retired on Monday with an abdominal injury while trailing 6-4, 3-0. Zverev, who lost to Carlos Alcaraz in last year's final, continues his latest bid for a maiden Grand Slam title after three runner-up finishes. "For me, Carlos is the favourite. Then I would say the next three in line are Jannik, myself, and Novak, right? I still believe that," said Zverev, who could meet world number one Sinner in the semi-finals. Zverev has made at least the last four at the past four French Opens and is into his seventh quarter-final. The 28-year-old has won five of his 13 career matches with Djokovic, including in Melbourne in January when the Serb retired injured from their semi-final. - 'Pretty dominant' - Djokovic, a three-time champion at Roland Garros, is just the second player to record 100 wins at the event after 14-time winner Rafael Nadal (112). "It's a very pretty number, but 101 victories sounds better," said 38-year-old Djokovic who has reached the quarter-finals at the clay-court major for a 16th consecutive year. World number six Djokovic is chasing a record 25th major title. Italian Sinner takes on unseeded Kazakh Alexander Bublik, who hailed his emotional four-set win over fifth seed Jack Draper in the last 16 as the "best moment of his life". Sinner leads 62nd-ranked Bublik 3-1 in previous meetings. The Italian reached the semi-finals last year where he lost a five-set battle to Spaniard Alcaraz.

Race-by-race preview and tips for Taree on Thursday
Track Heavy 9 & Rail True. RACE 1 6. Crazy Mikki is a tough home track mare who has done everything but win in a long prep. Has beaten all but the winner in his last three at this track on wet ground, despite twice being forced to do early work from wide draws. Well-placed here from a softer trailing barrier, and she's been given a 23 day freshen-up between runs. Has only missed a place once in six runs on either soft or heavy ratings. 1. Bobby is King is banging on the door third-up after being beaten under a length in two runs back, and has a sound record on rain-affected ground. If he gets across from the wide draw okay, will be right in the finish. 3. Enzoni can improve into his fourth start coming back in distance and 23 days between runs. Watch the betting on 1 0. Mars Landing, an improving two-year-old getting back on to his preferred surface at third start, while 9. The Simple Life also comes back in trip off that same let-up, and can add value into exotic bets. RACE 2 6. Purple Haze is an improving four-year-old bred to thrive in this sort of ground. Much better placed here, dropping back to a far weaker race from a provincial Super Maiden a week ago. 3. Jakubik can improve sharply at his second start back in a weaker company. 5. Montgolfier peaks third-up over more ground, while 1. Dundee Tales draw inside and heads the rest. RACE 3 6. Heart Of Platinum is ready to break through fifth-up off a short break, with blinkers going on. Has run home okay at his last couple in heavy ground, and gets a nice little weight drop in what is a thinner race. 7. Temple Bells is a locally trained improver who hasn't missed a place in four runs this prep, and right at home in heavy going. 1. Dark Stratum is hard fit, and hasn't been far away in his last three, although a query from the wide barrier in this going. 4. Gallant Rush can improve third-up with a key gear change, so too 8. Calamaris who drops back from tougher provincial level, with winkers being added.

Djokovic and Sinner chase French Open semis as underdogs look for upsets
Big guns Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic both chase semi-final berths at the French Open on Wednesday, but the spotlight will be on home hope Lois Boisson in the women's tournament. French wildcard Boisson, ranked 361st in the world, steps up against Russian sixth seed Mirra Andreeva with a chance to write her own chapter in French tennis history. Handed a wildcard to enter the tournament, the 22-year-old kept home hopes alive by battling past US third seed Jessica Pegula to reach the last eight. "Obviously, it's a dream to begin with. I hope to go further," said the player from Dijon. "This is my favourite surface. As soon as the clay season starts, this is when I feel best and when I feel happiest." Second seed Coco Gauff will play seventh seed Madison Keys in an all-American quarter-final, looking to join world number one Aryna Sabalenka and three-time defending champion Iga Swiatek who are already through to the final four in the other half of the draw. Djokovic will compete in a record 19th French Open quarter-final against last year's runner-up Alexander Zverev. The German third seed will be well rested after his last-16 opponent Tallon Griekspoor retired on Monday with an abdominal injury while trailing 6-4, 3-0. Zverev, who lost to Carlos Alcaraz in last year's final, continues his latest bid for a maiden Grand Slam title after three runner-up finishes. "For me, Carlos is the favourite. Then I would say the next three in line are Jannik, myself, and Novak, right? I still believe that," said Zverev, who could meet world number one Sinner in the semi-finals. Zverev has made at least the last four at the past four French Opens and is into his seventh quarter-final. The 28-year-old has won five of his 13 career matches with Djokovic, including in Melbourne in January when the Serb retired injured from their semi-final. - 'Pretty dominant' - Djokovic, a three-time champion at Roland Garros, is just the second player to record 100 wins at the event after 14-time winner Rafael Nadal (112). "It's a very pretty number, but 101 victories sounds better," said 38-year-old Djokovic who has reached the quarter-finals at the clay-court major for a 16th consecutive year. "I will continue to search for another victory, it's clearly not finished for me here. I'm very honoured to make history in this sport, which has given me everything in my life." World number six Djokovic is chasing a record 25th major title and has a 100-16 record at Roland Garros. Italian Sinner takes on unseeded Kazakh Alexander Bublik, who hailed his emotional four-set win over fifth seed Jack Draper in the last 16 as the "best moment of his life". Sinner leads 62nd-ranked Bublik 3-1 in previous meetings. Both Sinner and Djokovic have not dropped a set so far. The Italian reached the semi-finals last year where he lost a five-set battle to Spaniard Alcaraz. Australian Open champion Keys plays Gauff against whom she has a 3-2 record winning their only meeting on clay in Madrid last year. "It feels great to be back in the quarters here, and really happy with how I played today and hopefully can keep going," said Gauff who has 15 wins on clay this year. Former US Open champion Gauff puts her success on the surface down to her unwavering belief that she can turn a match in her favour no matter the score. She is hoping to make it third time lucky at the French Open, after losing in the finals in Madrid and Rome last month. Gauff made her first Grand Slam final in Paris in 2022 at the age of just 18. "I remember meeting Coco for the first time, and in my head she was, like, nine years old," joked 30-year-old Keys, who won her maiden Grand Slam title in Melbourne in January. "And just kind of watching her play, I knew that she was going to be someone that was going to be pretty dominant pretty quickly."
