Paris Hilton has hit out at claims she leads a lazy life of luxury, insisting it’s hard work being the boss of Paris Hilton PLC. The socialite-turned-pop star insists she never stops working and is fully booked up for the next year promoting her music career, and lines of Paris Hilton-related merchandise.

The 25-year-old says, “I have so many projects – bags, fragrances, make-up. I go round the world every three days, designing and personally approving it all. “I’ve got movies to make, a tour, TV shows. Every day of my life is scheduled until the end of 2007. It’s Paris Hilton PLC!”
