Paris Hilton turns 32

Paris Whitney Hilton is famous more for her escapades than her filmography. Known to be a freak of all arts (she is a media personality, model, singer, author, fashion designer and actress), Paris is mistress of none but controversy.

Hugely responsible for the genesis of the word 'celebutante' (a portmanteau of the words celebrity and debutante, which stands for "the celebrity who rises to fame not because of their talent or work but because of their inherited wealth and controversial lifestyle"), Paris remains the hottest 'non-entity' of the west.

Here is a pictorial fact file on Paris, who turns 32 today.
