Although Paris was well known for her party lifestyle and modeling, what catapulted her into instant infamy was a home sex movie she made with Shannon Doherty's ex-husband Rick Salomon in 2003 when she was only 19-years-old. The video features both Salomon and Hilton engaged in several graphic sex acts in his Los Angeles home (pictured right).

But alas, there's no room for love in the fast lane. The Paris-Salomon relationship didn't last long (actually none of Salomon's do). After they broke up, Salomon started bragging to friends that he had a "home movie" of him and Hilton which he cleverly titled "1 Night In Paris."

When asked to comment about the alleged sex video in early August 2003, Paris had this to say about Salomon:

"He's a complete liar and scum bag. He is a very sick man. People love to talk s--- because they're jealous. I don't care. Whatever."

"Whatever" indeed. It is rumored that Ms. Hilton has made at least 10 videos with numerous "friends" both male and female. And now you can even buy some of them on Amazon.com!

As you can imagine, this embarrassing sexcapade didn't go over well with the Hilton empire. Saddened at the exploitation of Paris, the Hilton family issued this public relations release:

"The Hilton family is greatly saddened at how low human beings will stoop to exploit their daughter, Paris, who is sweet-natured, for their own self-promotion as well as profit motives."

According to Entertainment Weekly, after a series of lawsuits between Hilton and Salomon, an agreement was reached where Hilton was paid $400,000 plus a percentage of profits from the sale of her sex tape. To help encourage sales of the "1 Night In Paris" DVD, Salomon provides additional background information about his various encounters with Hilton for the viewer.

1 Night In Paris [review]

In case you haven't seen the infamous "1 Night In Paris," sex tape yet, here's a full review:

Paris Hilton busts on the movie scene not unlike a young Nicole Kidman with a skillfully delivered first line... "let me get my phone." The producers (Rick Salomon & Paris Hilton) magnificently drive a dialogue of modernism with a line that is more a conditioned response than free will. Like Pavlov's dog, she is powerless to resist the cold intrusion of the technological sprawl that devours countryside's, bathrooms and boudoirs with the same unyielding hunger.

Marshall McLuhan's promise of a Global Village intruded on this evening of lust as the throbbing circuitry of a connected world demands the sacrifice of a media virgin. But she is not without an advisor.

In this film, Ms. Hilton acts opposite Rick Salomon, media mogul, giver of corporal knowledge, member of the lucky-sperm club. Yet he is more, and in a poignant moment of self-loathing which defines the entire encounter, Salomon blasphemes the very technology upon which he has built his empire - an empire that opened the very door which he repeatedly enters during his acting debut: "F-- your phone." The tape goes on to show over an hour of intimate scenes and Paris saying phrases like "You trying to choke me?" and "Let me get you a towel."

Hilton's Sidekick Phone Gets Hacked What's worse than a scum bag like Rick Salomon releasing a sex tape with you? Two years later in 2005, Hilton's T-Mobile Sidekick cell phone was hacked and its contents posted all over the Internet. Scores of A-list celebrities' private cell numbers, including Lindsay Lohan, Christina Aguilera, Andy Roddick, Victoria Gotti, Vin Diesel, Eminem, Anna Kournikova, and Ashlee Simpson, were all published online! We suspect that all of Paris' Sidekick buddies from the T-Mobile commercials (Snoop Dogg, Wayne Newton, Wee-Man...) are going to think twice next time before they throw their numbers out there. One angry celeb grunted to The Drudge Report, "I gave her my number after we met in Miami, I did not know she f**king kept it on her cell phone!"

Paris' T-Mobile Sidekick cell phone also had a built-in color camera. The hacker was able to download all her personal photos including several images of Paris making out with a female friend. Here's a contact sheet of a few images from Paris Hilton's hacked Sidekick phone. You can download the entire collection with BitTorrent. Just do a search for: "Paris Hilton Sidekick photos."

Poor Paris What's next for Paris Hilton? Probably just more embarrassing scandals for the Hilton family and lame reality TV show shenanigans. What did you expect? A Noble Peace Prize or a law degree from Yale? At least "1 Night In Paris" wasn't shot in HD and she won't have to go through the trauma of a Blu-ray DVD release of "1 Night In Paris." It will be interesting to see what becomes of Paris in 30 years when her looks have faded.
