New York (AP) - If you google for people who are famous for no reason, photos of Paris Hilton come at the top.
They describe their critics as a colorless 08/15 blonde who has been kissed by fate, but for their fans the former "It-Girl" embodies life in beauty, money and glamor.
Only eternal youth are out of reach for them: this Wednesday (February 17th) Paris Hilton celebrates her 40th birthday.
But if you are 20 or 30 something now believes that the life of Instagram and reality show greats is slowly running out of air at 40, you have no idea of Hilton's plans for the next decade: She is not just starting her new podcast « This is Paris », but also wants to have twins and on top of that marry her partner Carter Reum.

Hilton got the basis for a public life in the cradle.
As the great-granddaughter of hotel magnate Conrad Hilton, she started her life with all the privileges on February 17, 1981, which she initially spent in Beverly Hills.
Like many members of her influential family, she took on the role of a dazzling figure of nightlife in the Hollywood crowd - but surpassed her relatives even as a teenager.
Paris Hilton became the hippest so-called "It Girl" of her time, a woman who, by definition, is characterized primarily by her frequent appearances in public and her attractiveness.
Hilton became the prime example of a tabloid great famous for being famous.
In the early 2000s, Hilton's recordings of sex with her boyfriend at the time, Rick Salomon, who published them without her consent, caused an international stir.
"It was like rape," said Hilton once in a documentary.
"It felt like I had lost part of my soul."
She wanted to die in a few moments and felt the situation as if everything had been taken from her.
Most recently, Hilton also made serious allegations of abuse against her old school in the US state of Utah.

During the same period, Hilton's real-life series “The Simple Life” went through the roof, in which the then early 20-year-olds were filmed together with TV partner Nicole Richie doing supposedly menial work such as on the farm or exercised in the fast food restaurant.
Books, music, DJ appearances and numerous investments in companies and fashion product lines followed on the It Girl career ladder.
"Her ability to recommend products to her fans in which she believes is almost unrivaled," said Conal Byrne of the large radio network "iHeart", with which Hilton is now producing her first podcast.
It starts on February 22nd and is divided into categories such as “That's Hot” for products or “Loves It” for cultural recommendations, according to Hilton's taste.
But that's not all: Nothing is left to chance when planning the next generation.
"We started with in vitro fertilization (artificial insemination)," said Hilton recently about the plan with her partner, businessman Carter Reum.
You have already had several egg retrievals.

That's the way she can be sure she will have twins - a boy and a girl, Hilton said.
A wedding with Reum is already being planned: Hilton said she was excited to "just take the next step in my life and finally have a real life".
