Paris Hilton admits she was in tears after seeing herself on the cover of Playboy in 2005 because she hadn’t given permission for her photos to be used.
The 42-year-old heiress said in her new biography Paris: The Memoir that she had initially turned down the late founder Hugh Hefner’s seven-figure offer to star in the magazine because she was tired of the impression it would make after her previous sex tape scandal. .
Paris recounted how she was later surprised to see herself on the cover with images from an old photo shoot, recounting in her book: ‘Nobody was terribly surprised to see me on the cover of Playboy. Except me. I was surprised. And not in a good way.’
She recalled how the late editor-in-chief Hugh had previously offered her “more and more money”, telling her: “I wouldn’t have to be totally naked, just topless.” And then say, she didn’t have to be topless, just see-through. And then say that she could wear whatever underwear she wanted.
She continued: “Even when he offered me seven figures, I turned him down, because I knew my mom would lose her mind and because I’d already been called a sl*t after the sex tape.” I felt like a Playboy photo shoot would just cement that in people’s minds.

Paris confessed that years before the cover came out, she initially found the idea ‘incredible’, with the star living with Playboy bunnies Jennifer Rovero and Nicole Lenz in Los Angeles at the time and regularly attending parties at the Playboy mansion.
However, her mother Kathy Hilton, who was approached to model for the magazine in her teens, stood her ground, telling Paris that it would be “so trashy”, and that Paris would comply with her mother’s wishes.
But just four years later, Paris unexpectedly ended up on the cover of Playboy shortly after her racy Super Bowl ad for burger chain Carl’s Jr, with Playboy using an image from an ‘old test shoot’ with a female photographer, to whom Paris described as ‘really great’.
The Stars Are Blind hitmaker said that with the cover she was on, Hugh had ‘honoured’ her with a ‘Sex Star of the Year Award’, meaning the magazine could claim it as ‘news’ and not as a ‘photograph’.
Paris said she imagined the issue would sell well as people ‘expected’ to see her naked inside the magazine, joking ‘surprise idiots’, before adding that ‘nothing, just like me’.
In the wake of the cover, Paris recalled that her mother Kathy and father Richard were “mad” while she “cried” but said that no one confronted Hugh at the time because “you just didn’t.” that’.
It comes after Paris revealed what the Kardashians got their new baby and her amazing skydiving experience on Thursday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Bravo.
Host Andy, 54, asked the socialite questions about her new baby Phoenix, who arrived in January via surrogacy while promoting her new book, Paris: The Memoir.

‘Which of your famous friends sent you the best baby present?’ asked Andy.
‘Kim, Kourtney and Kris sent me this giant alpaca. It’s not real, but it’s so cute that I now have it in front of my house. I hug him every day,’ Paris replied.
Paris shared on social media in February that Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian had given their baby a life-size stuffed alpaca.
The businesswoman has recently been promoting her memoir which was published on Tuesday by Dey Street Books.
An excerpt from the memoirs published by Stellar revealed that Paris did not enjoy sex when she was young and would fake orgasms to end their encounters.

I remember: “Even when he offered me seven figures, I turned him down, because I knew my mother would lose her mind and because I had already been called a whore after the sex tape.”
She wrote about wondering if she was ‘asexual’ as a 20-year-old, as despite her reputation for ‘sleeping with a hundred beautiful boys’, she preferred kissing and considered sex a chore.
I called myself the “kissing bandit” because I only liked to kiss. A lot of my relationships didn’t work out because of that,’ he said.
‘I could fake it, and I was good at faking it, but it felt like getting hit by a motorbike a hundred times. I thought the orgasm was faked so the sex could end. I kept trying to make it work,” the memoirs said.
Paris told Harper’s Bazaar magazine this month that she did not have strong sexual urges before she met her husband Carter Reum, 42.
