3. “Film Star”
Back in 2003, long before Kim Kardashian’s 2007 “leaked” sex tape, Paris had her own tape surface. The 2003 tape featured Paris doing the dirty with her boyfriend Rick Salomon. The tape was released with the name One Night in Paris (we love the wordplay) and was a big time sensation. Just as the Internet was finding its way, Paris Hilton dominated both the emerging Internet world as well as the magazine world.
She was the “it” girl. The release of the sex tape coincidentally occurred just prior to the launch of Hilton’s reality series with bestie Nicole Richie called The Simple Life. The sex tape was a media sensation and Paris was paid off for the tape leak.
However, it is once again questionable that the tape would be released so closely to her reality show. There is a lot to this where another wanna-be reality star sold themselves in a sex tape coinciding with other business matters (ahem-Kim Kardashian). The fact that these two are friends and both used their sex tapes to their advantage is no coincidence; it’s all part of the playbook.
