Paris Hilton Would Like to Be an Art Teacher

Yahoo15-05-2025
In ELLE's series Office Hours, we ask people in powerful positions to take us through their first jobs, worst jobs, and everything in between. This month, we spoke with Paris Hilton. You may know her from the early aughts reality show The Simple Life and coining iconic phrases like 'That's hot,' but Hilton is also a mother, entrepreneur, and child's rights advocate through her nonprofit organization, 11:11 Media Impact. While the world once watched her quit a job by saying, 'Bye gorgeous,' the multi-hyphenate is now dispensing her actual best (and worst) career advice, plus the impetus behind her new skin care line, Parívie, launching May 19.
I moved to New York City as a teenager and was a model. I loved walking in all the runway shows, shooting campaigns, and meeting people like David LaChapelle and creating incredible art with him. It was just so much fun to move from LA, where I had lived this very sheltered life, to New York City to follow my dreams.
Being a mom. I've done and accomplished so much in my life that I'm proud of, but being a mom is the most fulfilling job that there is.
On The Simple Life, when Nicole [Richie] and I worked at this dairy farm. It was the first job that we had when we moved to Arkansas for the show. It was really a lot. It made me never want to drink milk again. Getting the milk from cows is pretty gross, so that's why I drink oat milk.
An art teacher. I love art, so I think that it would be a lot of fun to teach an arts and crafts class. I guess I do already. It's not like a school, but when the kids come over with their cousins, I'll do art days. We'll paint together, glue little cute things, and make collages. I just love being around kids, and I love art.
My grandmother always instilled so much confidence in me and made me believe in myself. She told me to never dim my sparkle, to always go for my dreams, and to work hard. Being around her made me the woman that I am today.
My mom told me not to do The Simple Life. My parents and Nicole's parents both told us not to do it. It was like the first reality show, so she didn't know what to expect. Then the night after the show ran, my mom called me and said, 'You know, I'm never wrong, but [I was]. The show is the most hilarious and amazing [thing] I've ever watched. I'm so proud of you girls.'
I have always been obsessed with skin care. I've tried every single type of product. I wanted to create something that really worked, that had a whole system with incredible ingredients, perfect texture, but was also backed by science with amazing results. In my career, I've always been 10 steps ahead, so I wanted to put all of that into creating the skin care line of my dreams.
I built a spa in my house called the Sliving Spa. I have all of the most high-end, medical-grade equipment like hyperbaric chambers, cryotherapy chambers, red light therapy beds, and Hydrafacial machines. It's epic, and it's all pink. Then we have Parívie all over as well. It's a place that I love to go to relax and just get ready, because I'm constantly on and working every single day.

Before alleged Bay Area post office crash, brother of Pat Tillman documented own unraveling online

Just days before Richard Tillman, brother of the former NFL star and fallen Army Ranger Pat Tillman, allegedly crashed his car into a San Jose post office, he said in a rambling 11-minute YouTube video that he was going to 'take down the system,' including the U.S. government. 'What I need to do is absolutely prove who I am and I will do that,' said Tillman, referring to himself as Yeshua, the Hebrew name for Jesus, and the son of God. 'As far as the next phase of the game, I know what needs to be done.' The cryptic video was among dozens that Tillman, a 44-year-old San Jose resident, posted in recent months documenting his own apparent unraveling. The videos, other social media posts and public records reviewed by the Chronicle show a record of legal trouble, mental health issues and isolation from friends and family in recent years. Tillman was arrested early Sunday after allegedly crashing into the Almaden Valley post office, sparking a fire that caused significant damage. His YouTube channel, which had 1,700 subscribers, was taken down after the incident. It was not immediately clear Tillman's remarks in the video posted last week were directly connected to the alleged post office crash. In the latest video, which has since been removed, Tillman recorded himself talking from inside a parked vehicle as traffic cruised past his window. He wore sunglasses and sported a long beard streaked with gray. He spoke about the 'spiritual realm,' ascension and making the planet evolve, while referring to Richard Tillman in the third person and laughing between bizarre statements. 'I'm not going to harm anyone physically, so there's nothing to worry about,' Tillman said. 'You guys will find out what I'm laughing about one day.' Richard Tillman is the younger brother of Pat Tillman, who left the Arizona Cardinals football team to serve in the U.S. Army after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Pat Tillman was killed by friendly fire in 2004 during a chaotic firefight in his platoon while on duty in Afghanistan. Richard Tillman has pursued careers in acting and stand-up comedy. He also wrote a children's book series in 2015 meant to teach kindness and empathy. In 2019, his wife filed for divorce, which turned into a protracted and contentious legal battle, according to Fresno County records. The couple had two children. At one point during the divorce, a hearing was delayed because Tillman was 'in a mental health facility,' according to court records. A judge granted a temporary restraining order against Tillman to protect his ex-wife, records show. The court gave the wife sole custody of their children in 2021 and granted weekly supervised visits for Tillman. The judge also ordered Tillman to attend counseling for a year after finding that it 'would be in the child's best interest,' records show. Several Facebook posts suggest that Tillman became antagonistic toward friends and family members in recent months and years, even as they offered to assist Tillman in getting mental health treatment. 'I'm here to end you…And all your worthless friends,' Tillman apparently wrote in a message to a family member, according to a screenshot of the exchange he posted on Facebook earlier this year. In the crash on Sunday, fifty personnel from the San Jose Fire Department responded to the post office on the 6500 block of Crown Boulevard shortly before 3 a.m. Sunday and extinguished the fire within two hours, according to the agency. There were no injuries reported. Tillman was arrested at the scene on suspicion of arson and booked into Santa Clara County Jail. He remained in custody as of Monday morning on $60,000 bail, according to county records. It was not the first time Tillman had faced criminal charges. Fresno County court records show that Tillman racked up a series of misdemeanor charges starting in 2023, including for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol, trespassing and twice disobeying a domestic relations court order. Judges issued warrants for his arrest in each case because he failed to appear in court, records show. Before that, local court filings indicate, his record included only a traffic infraction in 2015.

I was dead for 2 minutes and I didn't want to leave — what I saw on the other side was beyond belief

A woman who was pronounced dead for two minutes revealed the shocking discovery of what she saw on 'the other side.' Nicole Meeuws was lifeless on a hospital bed, officially pronounced dead for two minutes, when she supposedly felt 'pulled' from her body and entered a tunnel of light where she was met by 'blue-skinned' beings, she told NeedToKnow. The 49-year-old artist was in the hospital after losing her baby and was rushed into emergency surgery, but, due to complications, she started to go in and out of consciousness. 'I found myself passing through a tunnel of blue and white light, not a beam, but a corridor that felt alive,' she said. Meeuws, who is from Greece, said that the light had a temperature and tone — 'almost like music made of water' — and she entered a glowing space with 'luminous' colors such as silver, soft violets and deep radiant blues. 'It didn't feel frightening; it felt like I was being called home,' she said. 'The chamber was vast, larger than any earthly structure, and everything pulsed gently like a heartbeat,' she added. 'And then I saw them.' Meeuws revealed that she was greeted by 'blue-skinned' beings with human faces, similar to the characters in 'Avatar.' 'Two towering beings seated on marble-like thrones, shimmering with energy. Their eyes were large and indigo, filled with kindness and recognition,' she said. 'They looked human, but had gentle gills on their cheeks. I remember seeing their fish-like tails, rather than legs, covered in scales.' 'They were both male and female intertwined and didn't speak in words – but I understood everything they had to tell me,' Meeuws added. She said she didn't understand their language, but the Avatar-like figures allegedly made her feel at home and telepathically communicated with her that life is actually an illusion and we start to live when we die. Meeuws also said they told her that she wasn't meant to have children and rather she was given the gift to teach people about 'the other side.' 'I felt more known than I had ever felt in my life; I didn't want to leave,' she noted. 'I understood this place, this feeling, and I truly believe it was the original home from which we all come from.' 'I learned that death is not an end, it's a return to our actual lives,' Meeuws added. After the minutes she was pronounced dead, Meeuws was 'zapped' back into her body, and when her husband, Christos, 65, tried to speak to her, she communicated in a high-pitched tone in an 'unfamiliar' language. 'It sounded like dolphin clicks. It continued for minutes, which left everyone around us stunned. But I couldn't stop it – it was coming through me, not from me,' Meeuws said. 'My senses were heightened and I could hear emotion in people's voices as color. I returned completely different; almost reborn,' she added. Meeuws hasn't had any near-death experiences since the incident, but she said she has visions of the blue-skinned figures often. She believes they are non-alien creatures from the Apkallu interdimensional tribe, also referred to as Demigods, that allegedly have given civilization to mankind. According to Meeuws, the mission given to her by these blue beings is to spread the message that 'love is stronger than death.' 'Love will always win; it's where we came from. We're all one big family, regardless of boundaries, cultures, religion and politics. Everything that exists came from the same spark,' she said. 'The more we hold onto fear, hate and lies, the easier it is to control humanity.' 'To create heaven on Earth, we must spend each day spreading love. I'm no longer afraid of death because I know what's waiting for me on the other side,' she noted. 'It was a beginning, not an end.' Solve the daily Crossword

The A-Line Bob Is the Chicest Way to Cut Your Hair Without Losing Length

Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. The A-line bob is one of the most iconic haircuts of all time; think Victoria Beckham, Keira Knightley, Taylor Swift—or more recently, Naomi Watts, Lily Collins, and Zendaya. It's a graphic and striking cut, and the ultimate hairstyle statement. However, with tousled cuts like the French bob having taken a backseat in recent years, the A-line bob now runs the risk of looking slightly dated. In turn, it requires an expert eye to translate the style for 2025, taking it from a 2000s cool-girl hairstyle for the history books and turning it into a fresh, eye-catching modern cut. Luckily, we enlisted the help of in-salon experts to break down the need-to-know details of the A-line bob, including how to cut and style it with a contemporary allure. Here's what they said. The A-line bob is a nostalgic and instantly recognizable cut, not too dissimilar to the coveted graduated bob. It's angular, sharp, and has a timeless appeal. 'An A-line bob is an angular short haircut a little longer at the front than the back,' explains Jake Schaverien, stylist at Hari's South Kensington. 'It can suit almost anyone and can be contouring for some as long as it is kept well below the jawline. However, it can also drag the face down on longer, more oval face shapes.' The good news is, the A-line bob is generally a very adaptable haircut, and it can be flattering across many face shapes and hair types as long as it's curated to you. "You would just determine the length with your stylist best suited for your face shape," says Molly Newell, creative stylist at the Neil Moodie Studio. The process of cutting an A-line bob is a fairly straightforward one, but always one that's best left to the professionals given its sharp, graphic angle. 'For an A-line bob, you cut as you would a normal bob; however, instead of creating a blunt line, you would graduate the nape area and create a round shape,' explains Newell. Be sure to take reference images to your stylist, too. It's a great way of creating a visual representation of the shape, length, and angle you want to replicate; it can then be tweaked to fit your own facial anatomy. As with many other crisp, angular bobs, your styling options are plentiful. 'Styling an A-line bob can be easy for different textured hair. Both natural curls and straight hair work for the look,' says Schaverien. 'You could also use a tong to create soft waves for a carefree and playful look. If you mean business, then a super sleek finish with your straighteners will look super professional.' It's important to ask your stylist to cut your A-line bob according to your everyday hair routine, says Newell. 'For smooth and straight, I recommend styling using the Davines Oi All in One Milk, layered with their Volume Boosting Mousse. Use a classic Denman brush with the Dyson Supersonic R dryer to blow-dry straight. For a more playful wave, prep with the same products but either diffuse-dry or blow-dry with a large round bristle brush, then curl using a GHD curling iron.' From: ELLE UK
