The film may stretch the socialite’s acting abilities, as the plot centres around a mysterious plague that threatens the survival of the human race. All while singing.


Paris pad up for sale - July 31 2007
Paris Hilton is selling her Hollywood Hills home.

The 1926 Spanish-style house has gone on the market with a 4.25 million dollars (£2.1 million) price tag.

"This is a very special celebrity-owned home," according to a description on MLS, a multiple listing service that brokers and customers use for a first look at available properties.

The heiress’s house has four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with one bedroom converted into the "ultimate closet", and also includes a separate guest quarter and office.

Paris’s publicist, Elliot Mintz, confirmed the house was up for sale but declined further comment.

The move comes a month after the 26-year-old reality TV star was released from jail following a bizarre, three-week stay in which she was briefly released to home confinement and then sent back screaming to a lockup.

Paris had been sentenced to a 45-day jail sentence for a probation violation.

Reporters and paparazzi staked out the residence above Sunset Boulevard last month, capturing the celebrity’s move from jail to home and back.


Paris does charity - July 24 2007
Post jail, Paris Hilton promised she was going to do more to help others, and it seems she’s kept her word, turning up at a friend’s charity gala to raise funds for children with spinal cord injuries.

"It’s a great organisation," Paris said at the Life Rolls On function. "It gives people hope."

The heiress was supporting her close friend Jesse Billauer, a former pro surfer who is now paralysed, and who founded Life Rolls On. "I’m really happy to be here to support Jesse," she told People magazine.

During the evening, the socialite bid and won a $17,500 surfing lesson with Billauer and Adam Sandler.

And she even seems to have extended her charitable mood to her fashion, wearing a black-and-white dress created by 19-year-old fashion student Jonathan Bash.

"He said he loved me and my style and showed me 30 dresses he designed just for me. I was amazed by how incredibly talented he was," Paris said.

She also revealed her next project.

"I’m just focusing on doing a movie right now," she said. "It’s a surprise but I start shooting next month."


New record for Paris? - July 17 2007
She’s only been out of jail a month, but Paris Hilton has said that she’s already working on a new album, having been in meetings with record producer Scott Storch.

"I’ve been working on my new record with Scott for a few weeks," Paris told E! Online.

Scott worked on the socialite’s first album, entitled Paris, released last August, and is also responsible for chart-topping work with acts including Beyonce Knowles, Christina Aguilera, R Kelly, 50 Cent and Dr Dre.

However, sources say that the 26-year-old Simple Life star is determined to make the new album better than her first attempt which was met with criticism and disappointing sales.

"She takes voice lessons several times a week," says an insider close to the star.
