Paris Hilton: 'I Do Work' 9/19/08

Socialite Paris Hilton is tired of having to defend her career and insists she is a hard worker despite her image as a professional party animal. The hotel heiress admits the most annoying misconception people have about her is that she doesn't work for a living.

She says, "I am literally running a huge corporation. I have my clothing lines, my champagne, my watches, shoes and purses and dog clothes - every sort of product you can imagine.

"I am doing movies. I am doing my record right now, producing, starring in a TV show. So it is a 24 hour, seven day-a-week job. I work all the time, so I laugh when I hear people say that."
