Young Hollywood

I'm joined by someone that the whole world knows, Paris Hilton. How are you?

Paris Hilton

I'm good, how are you?

Young Hollywood

I'm good. I'm surprised you had time in your schedule to to stop on this sofa between world domination and everything else that you do. It's crazy. And now the most recent Cash Money Records, you've signed a multi-album record deal. Yes. Tell us about that.

Paris Hilton

I love working with them. They're such great guys. They're so supportive of this record, and I'm having so much fun with everybody.

Young Hollywood

And the single, "Good Time," obviously that makes sense if you're having fun. Yes. That's come out, um, the video.

Paris Hilton

I always have a good time because I never have a good time. And I never be a bit sad.

Young Hollywood

That's okay because you're with me. And the album's coming out 2014. Yes. What can we expect from that? Any surprises?

Paris Hilton

Yeah, the album is full of surprises. Um, I'm working with Snoop Dogg and Flo Rida. Uh, we're doing more songs with Lil Wayne and some other surprise guests.

Young Hollywood

Just a small few names. Is there anyone that you haven't collaborated with yet that you'd love to?

Paris Hilton

Um, I haven't really thought about it.

Young Hollywood

Okay. Well we'll save that for the next album. Because it is a multi-album record deal.

Paris Hilton

Exactly.

Young Hollywood

And now the DJing that's blowing up. Everyone's talking about Paris Hilton the DJ. And Ibiza. Ibiza you say Ibiza. How was that?

Paris Hilton

It was incredible. I was playing for 10,000 people every single night. It was sold out. Just amazing energy in the room. I love being up on that stage and it was so successful. They signed me on for next year as well.

Young Hollywood

And it was a foam party. Is this correct?

Paris Hilton

Yes. Paris Hilton's Foam and Diamonds Party.

Young Hollywood

Foam and Diamonds. Was that your your idea? Okay. Foam and Diamonds. Nice. And it started at 3:30.

Paris Hilton

Yeah, my set was from 3:30 to 5:30 and then the foam around six.

Young Hollywood

How do you stay awake every every day? Ibiza everyone sleeps all day, goes out all night. Sleeping all works there. Vampire. And now so many celebrities have have, you know, delved into the fashion world and TV, but you've seemed to make it work for so long. You've not gone anywhere. You're always always around. What would you say separates you? How do you make it work?

Paris Hilton

Well, I consider myself a brand and a businesswoman. I know I have 17 product lines. I have 50 Paris Hilton stores around the world. And now I'm opening up my own properties. So,

Young Hollywood

Did you envision all this in the beginning? Is this always what you wanted?

Paris Hilton

Um, when I was a little girl, I always had big dreams. I always knew that I would do something big and just growing up in the Hilton family, it's always been a lot to live up to.

Young Hollywood

How is Paris in the boardroom different to the Paris that we see on the red carpet?

Paris Hilton

Um, when I'm in the boardroom, I am very tough, a tough businesswoman. And the red carpet is more of my glamour time where I just can get dressed up and have fun.

Young Hollywood

Right. And out of the the fashion, the TV, the music, the DJing, what do you relate to most? You know, the one part.

Paris Hilton

I love it all. I love DJing because I love music. I don't consider myself a DJ. It's just something I do for fun. I love music. I love just entertaining people and having a good time. Cuz I feel like you only live once and you have to make the most of it. Um, where are you most excited to go if you're going to perform anywhere?

Paris Hilton

I love going everywhere. I was just actually in Asia doing some shows in Hong Kong and Singapore and that was fun. And I have a show coming up next month. It's going to be a huge festival for like over 50,000 people. So, I'm excited for that. It's going to be like me and Benny Benassi and Icona Pop.

Young Hollywood

Do you get nervous? You over-nerve? I'm over-nervous. Really? 50,000 people and you don't feel nervous?

Paris Hilton

Always when you first walk out, it's a little bit nerve-racking, but as soon as I put on the first song and everyone's having so much fun, the nerves just go away.

Young Hollywood

And Ibiza, you're changing your set every night. Correct?

Paris Hilton

Every time I play, I always play a different set. I never play the same set twice.

Young Hollywood

Becoming a DJ, doing the music. Did that, is that a big process, like years in the making to make you a DJ?

Paris Hilton

Yeah, I've been training for the past two years, like six hours a day.

Young Hollywood

In all the years of being around you, you always look amazing. You're flawless. How do you stay fit? How do you eat fresh? Maintain this coffee lifestyle?

Paris Hilton

Thank you. All of them on one piece of advice my mom gave me as a teenager is to stay out of the sun. So I've always done that. Okay. To keep my skin. For workout, I do Pilates and for diet I pretty much eat whatever I want, but I try to eat a lot of fruit.

Young Hollywood

Pilates is working on that core. Yeah. And we're going to do a little celebrity trend report, cuz you are very fashionable. Cool. Um, what trends are you loving?

Paris Hilton

I really am loving neon colors, like very bright. Like kind of the 80s pink, I really love that.

Young Hollywood

Okay. Is there any one look that you're like, "Oh, I shouldn't have done that?"

Paris Hilton

I think when I used to wear Uggs all the time. I'm so over those.

Young Hollywood

All the Uggs. Okay, you've just killed their business instantly on E news. Sorry. Um, who's your favorite designer right now, apart from yourself?

Paris Hilton

My friend Stacy Bendet, she does Alice + Olivia. I think her designs are always perfect.

Young Hollywood

One item in your closet that is your favorite. You can never live without. One item.

Paris Hilton

Um, I have these Alexander Wang leather pants that are really amazing. I bought 10 pairs of them because I love them so much.

Young Hollywood

So, the album's out in 2014. Um, where can we get the single?

Paris Hilton

The new single, "Good Time," it's featuring Lil Wayne, produced by Afrojack. It's on iTunes now, or you can go to my new website parishilton. com and they have it there and also sell all my products.

Young Hollywood

And you can buy all of your products on this website. Okay, what do you think I should buy? If I went on your website now, three products that I should buy?

Paris Hilton

Well, it's almost Christmas time. So it's holidays. Um, girls always love perfumes. Okay. So I have 15 available right now.

Young Hollywood

15. Okay. I'm from.

Paris Hilton

Also a handbag and a pair of Paris Hilton shoes.

Young Hollywood
