Paris Hilton hoping to become a respected author

The hotel heiress - who published autobiographical work ‘Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose’ in 2004 - is planning a new book, but it won’t be a follow-up to the memoir.

Paris’ literary agent Dan Strone said yesterday (21.08.07): “She is thinking of doing a new book. I don’t believe at this time it’s going to be a prison diary. I don’t think that’s the direction she’s heading in.”

The 26-year-old - who recently spent 23 days behind bars for driving with a suspended license - has already tried her hand at modeling, acting, singing and fashion designing.
