Paris Hilton hasn’t eaten meat since meeting Heather Mills McCartney. The blonde star says she converted to vegetarianism after the former model, the estranged wife of Sir Paul McCartney, showed her a shocking video of animal cruelty.

She said: “From that point I’ve never worn fur and I never will.”I also haven’t eaten any meat since. I just survive on pasta and stuff like that. I was grossed out. It was disgusting.”

Paris also claims she is nothing like the ditzy blonde character she says she “invented” for her reality TV show “The Simple Life.” She added in an interview with Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “All reality shows are fake basically. When you have a camera on you, you are not going to act yourself.

“So before I started the show I though I’d make my character like the movies ‘Legally Blonde’ and ‘Clueless’ mixed together, with a rich girl all-in-one. “Even my voice and the way I dress is different from me in real life.”

Paris insists she is much more than just a pretty face and as well as currently launching her debut single, “Stars Are Blind”, and album, she is also preparing to open her own chain of hotels and a nightclub in London.
