Paris also spoke to MTV about her upcoming album, which is kind of a soundtrack to her new reality show Paris Hilton’s My New BFF.
Boyfriend Benji helped with a lot of the tracks and Paris says they work really well together.
MTV: Is this the first Comic-Con for you?
Hilton: This is my first Comic-Con. I’m very excited.
MTV: This is not an easy sell of a movie. Was it tough to convince you to sign on?
Hilton: I read the script and immediately fell in love with it. I’m a huge fan of [director] Darren [Lynn Bousman]. I love the “Saw” films, so the fact that I was being offered a role like this — which is completely different and so different than me — I was just so excited to even get to be a part of it. I really worked my hardest. There were, like, 25 top actresses trying out for this part, and I got the part.
MTV: Your character is addicted to plastic surgery. Where do you stand on that issue?
Hilton: Well, I’ve never had any plastic surgery, so doing a character like that — it was a lot of fun to change because every scene I have a different nose, I have different eyes, different hair. We were using a lot of prosthetics, so every scene you can’t really tell that it’s me, so that was a lot of fun.
MTV: Paris, we’re used to seeing you at parties and red carpets. Comic-Con is a bit of a different vibe for you.
Hilton: It’s definitely the place we need to be. And I love comics. I’ve always been a big fan of them. I’m kind of like a little comic-y at heart, so I think that I’ll like everyone here.
MTV: Having done this musical film, does Broadway interest you?
Hilton: I was actually offered the role of Roxy in “Chicago,” and we did some dance rehearsals and everything. But then I found out the schedule, and it was six days a week for a couple of months. And they wanted me to go to London after New York. I was very flattered to be offered that role and I love “Chicago,” but with my schedule and everything, there was no way I could fit it in.
MTV: Where does your next album stand?
Hilton: With my show “BFF” on MTV, I’m going to be releasing an album with it. I just finished recording the main title song. Benji [Madden] and I wrote [it] together. I built, like, a whole recording studio in my house.
MTV: How was it writing with Benji?
Hilton: Well, he’s such a talented writer. We’re in love, so we can really write well together because we’re kind of on the same wavelength, the way we think. With our talents together, it really mixes well.
MTV: How would you describe the music on the next album?
Hilton: It’s really feel-good music — it’s happy, it’s dance music. It’s a lot different than my last album, and the words really mean a lot to me.
MTV: Do you have a favorite track?
Hilton: The “best friends” songs I really like. There’s a song called “You Are My Best Friend,” and it’s really sweet.
MTV: You have always said you want to be a mom. Do you think you will soon?
Hilton: Not right now. I’m so busy with work, with this movie and my TV show and my album. I couldn’t imagine wobbling all around, being all pregnant right now. Not yet. But one day I would love to have a family, just not right now.
Promoting her new movie Repo! The Genetic Opera at Comic-Con in San Diego, Paris spoke to MTV about her plastic fantastic character Amber Sweet.
Oh the Chigago thing is an interesting fact.
