Paris Hilton Gets Sporty

She’s usually buying handbags, shoes, and fabulous clothing (or dogs, for that matter) but yesterday (August 11) Paris Hilton was all about getting sporty.

The “Stars are Blind” songstress headed over to her local Sport Chalet to pick up a new bike, inline skates, and (shocker!) a pink tennis racket. Sounds like somebody feels like getting physical.

In a recent interview, Miss Hilton talked about the hurdles she has to jump in order to be taken seriously these days. “I think people, from watching The Simple Life where I was playing this airhead, rich brat kind of character - years later, people still picture me like that, even though I’m completely different from that.”

But her new role in “Repo! The Genetic Opera,” (out this November) has offered her a departure from her typical character. “Just getting a role like this is huge for me because I always get offered the same role, basically playing myself. But this is different. I had loads of auditions to do - for singing and dancing and acting. Luckily I nailed them all.”
