PARIS HILTON has rubbished the idea THE SIMPLE LIFE offers viewers an insight into what she is actually like as the reality show is "fake". The hotel heiress and her former best friend NICOLE RICHIE star in the popular programme, but Hilton deliberately set out to invent a character not like her true self. She says, "Simple Life is a reality show and people might assume it’s real. But it’s fake. All reality shows are fake basically. When you have a camera on you, you are not going to act yourself. "So before I started the show I thought I’d make a character like the movies. LEGALLY BLONDE and CLUELESS mixed together, with a rich girl all-in-one. "Even my voice is different from me in real life. It’s a character I like to play. I think its carefree and happy. "The public think they know me but they really don’t."

Nicky Hilton is getting into the hotel business, she told PEOPLE on Thursday.
"I’ve always wanted to do it," says the lodging heiress who plans to renovate two existing buildings to open the "Nicky O" on Miami’s famed Ocean Boulevard in November. "I’ve been around hotels my whole life, and I know a good hotel when I see one."
Shortly after, her second Nicky O will open on Chicago’s historic Printer’s Row. "Miami will definitely be a party destination, and Chicago will be a little more calm," she says. The 94-room boutique/condo accommodation will include entertainment news tickers in the elevators, a signature scent and rooms deigned by friends – including $5,000-a-night penthouse by clothing designer Roberto Cavalli.
Although Hilton, 22, comes from a family with an expertise it hotels, she isn’t partnering with the clan to fund her new project. "I’ll go to my family for advice, but they’re not involved at all," she says of her parents, brothers, and sister Paris.
Still, she is a Hilton: Borrowing a phrase from sister Paris, Nicky says of the Miami hotel’s lobby, which will include a giant chandelier at its center and lots of marble: "Its just so beautiful – and hot."
As for her private life, she says everything with her boyfriend, Entourage star Kevin Connolly, is "good" – but she’s focusing on her career right now, including shooting ads for her bag line and feverishly working to get the hotels ready to open. "This is my summer," she says of her latest endeavor.
