Paris Hilton

Paris Whitney Hilton (born February 17, 1981 in New York City) is an American heiress of the Hilton Hotel fortune, a socialite, model, singer, actress, and writer. She is commonly described as a "celebutante," a portmanteau of "celebrity" and "debutante"; in other words, "famous for being famous".

"That's hot"

"That's hot" is a phrase used by Hilton (although an earlier usage is attributed to her Simple Life co-star Nicole Richie http://www.emediawire.com/releases/2004/9/emw157359.htm and has been used by others for many years). The catch phrase, a synonym for "That's cool" or "That's awesome," has since been parodied in pop culture outlets such as Saturday Night Live http://snltranscripts.jt.org/04/04chilton.phtml and even by Hilton herself, on The Late Show with David Letterman.

In 2004, Hilton filed a successful request to trademark the phrase. She wishes to market clothing with the phrase prominently emblazoned on the garments; she felt it was time to trademark the phrase because "I've been saying it forever. I want to put it on T-shirts and stuff like that." http://archives.tcm.ie/breakingnews/2004/09/18/story167128.asp
