Much to the chagrin of those behind “The Matrix Revolutions,” another action epic, featuring a dazzling array of physical contortions rendered in a hip green light, has stolen the spotlight in the past few weeks.
Despite a small cast of relative newcomers, a claustrophobic interior setting and a plagued mode of distribution, The Paris Hilton Sex Tape has emerged as a legitimate pop-cultural sensation. Thanks to the broad-speed online network, ideally suited to rapidly spreading massive quantities of personal information (i.e. homemade porn) to curious strangers and disgusted family members, Paris has easily replaced Nicole Kidman as Hollywood’s latest “It” girl.
A friend of mine, who works at “Rolling Stone,” slipped me the following excerpt from an interview with Paris that will appear in next month’s issue.
I sat down with hotel heiress and Cosmo-sipping socialite Paris Hilton just days after the now infamous home video, featuring Hilton and Shannon Doherty’s estranged husband Rick Solomon engaging in a wide variety of X-rated activities, exploded onto the national radar. Perched in an oversized chair, in a Hilton Hotel suite, Paris resembled her on screen persona: playful, uninhibited and possibly high.
Q: Thanks for agreeing to sit down with me. I realize this has got be a tough time for you?
A: Weekdays are always hard. Nobody ever wants to go out.
Q: So most of your friends work?
A: We don’t talk about that kind of stuff.
Q: What do you talk about?
A: Gossip.
Q: Then I guess you can’t blame people for talking about this tape?
A: I don’t mind the talking. I just don’t want people watching it.
Q: Because it’s so personal?
A: Yeah… and the lighting’s really bad and I had just had a salad so I was feeling really bloated.
Q: Has your family seen it?
A: Yeah my dad was so f—king pissed.
Q: At the media?
A: No, at me—because we did it in a Marriott. He said that it was like bad P.R. or something.
Q: Oh. Many people were surprised by just how graphic the tape is and how much hardcore penetration it showed. Did you decide where to put the camera or did Rick?
A: What camera?
Q: The one that was taping.
A: No, it was a video, so the T.V. was taping.
Q: T.V.’s can’t tape things.
A: Sure they can. I’ve had my T.V. tape every episode of “Rich Girls”.
Q: You mean that show on MTV with Ali Hillfigger?
A: Yeah, it’s my favorite.
Q: Do you and Ali run in the same circles?
A: I only run on treadmills. And sometimes I use the Episcopal.
Q: The what?
A: You know, that thing where you move your hands and you walk and its like back and forth.
Q: The Elliptical?
A: No, that’s in astrology with the moon or the sun. I forget.
Q: Back to you and Ali. Are you guys tight?
A: Rick said I was really tight and Ali’s younger so she probably is too, but I’ve only hooked up with Jamie.
Q: Um, okay. Do you remember how you and Rick first got together?
A: We were talking about traveling to Canada and other countries in Europe and he said he had been to France but never in Paris, so I said, would you like to be?
Q: Classy. Were you sober?
A: What’s that?
Q: Alright, moving on I guess. A lot of people who have seen the tape have made fun of the fact that you stopped having sex to answer your cell phone. I was thinking maybe you’d want to take this opportunity to clear all that up.
A: Yeah I really would. I got the phone so we could have phone sex.
Q: Phone sex? But you were having actual sex.
A: I thought it would be kinky.
Q: Have you ever had phone sex?
A: I tried once but I ended up in the hospital and the doctors said I shouldn’t do that with a phone again because it could hurt me. It really sucked. I had to spend my birthday in the ER and I didn’t even get to meet George Clooney.
Q: Hahaha.
A: Why are you laughing?
Q: Oh.
