It's been quite a while since Paris Hilton was in the spotlight for something that wasn't a photograph of her leaving a drugstore with a plastic bag so transparent we could read the prescribed dosage on the bottle of her herpes medication. But she's apparently ready for a more fulfilling life, as she's already finished the first season of her new show, called The World According to Paris, and is completely eager for us to watch it when it premieres on June 1st on Oxygen. It's described as focusing on Hilton's business partnerships and personal relationships, and Hilton is proud of how it is "like nothing I've ever done before," because "on The Simple Life," she said, "I was playing a character." Paris's mother Kathy will co-star on the show, and executive producer Arthur Smith continued to note how the show will tread on much more personal ground than The Simple Life or Paris Hilton's My New BFF and said, "It's so intimate; I can't believe what they're going to let us show."At NBC Universal's Summer Press Day on Friday, Hilton explained to reporters that her numerous responsibilities for The World According to Paris forced her to separate her role as the star of the show from her role as one of its creators, and she realized she can't just take moments where she doesn't like how she appears out of the final cut because those moments could boost the show's popularity. When someone asked her if she's ever felt the need to cut any disparaging instances out of an episode, she displayed a hint of understanding when she said, "There were a lot of things like, 'Oh my God, I want to cut that out,' but then I put on my producer hat and left it in." So perhaps this show is a good thing because she's 30 now, and it's probably about time she showed us she can do more than work up an appetite for a Carl's Jr. BBQ burger by washing a car.
