She's the heiress to a multi-million dollar fortune and with her line of fragrances, make-up and clothing she has cultivated a Barbie-inspired brand based on herself.

But as her empire is expanding so, it appears, is her waistline and the 29-year-old showed off a remarkably fuller figure in Brazil yesterday.

Paris, who was appearing in a San Paulo fashion show, was paraded pretty dresses down the runway flaunting her newly-found curves.

The usually super-slim socialite appears to have been putting on pounds steadily over the past six months.

Her appearance was in stark contrast to the Paris that soaked up the sun in a pink stripey two-piece in St Tropez, back in July.

Pairs enjoyed an extended jaunt around European hotspots on her yacht over the summer and played up to the media frenzy that followed, her flaunting her trim and slim frame in a number of stylish swimwear pieces.

Yesterday while she was still happy to pose for the cameras she was looking at her largest and sported a much fuller figure.

As she modeled the chic designs, which included a black dress with pleated skirt and bright trim, she wore her hair in a French plat on the side of her head revealing a much plumper face than usual.

Paris closed the show as the lead model and wore a stunning strapless metallic dress teemed with huge platform heels.

She tweeted: ‘Just finished walking in the @TritonLovers Runway Fashion Show. The show went amazing! The clothes were so beautiful! Loves it! Brazil rocks’

Later that evening party girl Paris took to the town in a multi-coloured strapless dress with boyfriend Cy Waits.

Paris is not the only famous American face to take to the catwalk in Brazil, Ashton Kutcher is also returning to his modeling roots modeling designs for Colcci.

Earlier this year, Paris Hilton was arrested on the charges of carrying drugs whenbagged cocaine slipped from her purse at Wynn Las Vegas hotel in Las Vegas. The police arrested herimmediately and Hilton pleaded guilty before the authorities for the two charges framed.

As part of her sentence, she was to pay a fine of $2,000, devote 200 hours to community service, andface one year’s suspended imprisonment. On the appointed day of scrubbing graffiti off the walls inHollywood Boulevard, the reality show star joined the ranks of other felons around her and got to thetask before hand. Attired in a t-shirt of bright yellow color, she looked just like those around her. The words Hollywood Los Angeles Beautification Team were clearly imprinted across the back of her t-shirt.

However, she clearly stood apart from the rest of them, with her huge fashionable sunglasses, stilettosand huge hooped earrings. The lookers on were visibly impressed with the kind of devotion Parisshowed towards the work at hand, that let an altogether down to earth halo surround her.

Paris Hilton’s lawyers have settled a lawsuit that claimed the star didn’t do enough to promote her 2006 movie Pledge This!

Court papers filed in Miami indicate a settlement was reached last week. No terms were announced and final documents must be filed by November 11. Paris’s spokeswoman and an attorney for the movie’s investors had no immediate comment.

The investors originally sued the 29-year-old actress and celebrity socialite for 8.3 million dollars. But after a trial, a federal judge ruled they could not collect that much. Earlier this year, the judge said Paris could be liable for about 160,000 dollars.

Paris insisted in trial testimony that she did all she could to promote Pledge This!

The sorority romp was a box-office flop.

Paris Hilton donated an assortment of Halloween gifts and decorations to needy children this week.

The hotel heiress spent Wednesday shopping with her boyfriend, Cy Waits, for gifts, pumpkins and candy, then headed straight to the Rescue Mission Shelter in LA to give it all away.

“Just got home,” she tweeted. “Had a great day today. Cy and I went to the pumpkin patch to buy a bunch of pumpkins. Also some tools to carve and paint them and lots of candy and toys.”

“Brought everything down to the children at The Rescue Mission Shelter. They were all so excited and grateful. It’s such an amazing feeling to make a child smile and be happy.”

Paris Hilton claims to be stepping into a parental position with her boyfriend’s seven-year-old daughter as they apparently get along swimmingly.

Hilton reportedly spends every weekend in Vegas with Cy Waits and his daughter, states RadarOnline.com. “I have a new BFF … I absolutely love this little girl,” Paris says about her new role.

She also reports that the three of them do totally normal things together every weekend as the couple just wants to be able to spend time with the young girl.

And in her first interview about her new role, Paris said: “She is so adorable and precious! I have a new BFF… and we spend time with Shae, who is seven-years-old, every weekend in Las Vegas.”
It is a sudden change of pace for the reformed hard partier, who has had her fair share of drama in recent time. “We spend time together as a family, Cy takes us out to the movies and we take Shae to school on Monday mornings,” Paris continued.

“We are in Las Vegas every weekend to spend time with her.” The couple has been spending time with Shea – out of the spotlight – and without glare of onlookers. “Shae is so smart and we love spending time together,” Paris said during her interview.

“We go shopping, I take her to the pet store and to the arcade. We take her to the Circus Circus amusement park. We do normal things.” While Paris is not yet officially a ‘step-mom’, she has made no secret, in the past, about wanting to take on mommy dearest duties. “It’s been my dream to have four babies by 30,” the heiress, 29, boasted a few years ago.

A source close to Cy told: “Cy has never introduced a a girlfriend to Shae before… this is a very serious relationship. Cy is extremely protective of Shae and just doesn’t introduce her casually to anyone. Paris and Cy are closer and happier than ever before.”

Paris Hilton is proving to be a stand-in mother for new boyfriend Cy Waits’ seven-year-old daughter Shea.

It is a sudden change of pace for the hard partying hotel heiress, who was arrested in Las Vegas in August with cocaine in her purse. “Cy is a dad and he is combining his part time parenting duties with his fledgling romance with Paris,” said a source close to the couple. While Paris is not yet officially a ‘step-mom’, she has made no secret, in the past, about wanting to become a mommy dearest.

“It has been my dream to have four babies by 30,” the heiress, 29, said a few years ago. And Hilton thinks she is highly qualified for motherhood, explaining, “I look after animals, so I’d have a lot to give my kids.”

Paris and Cy Waits have been dating since her split from former beau, Doug Reinhardt, in April. And since that time, the couple has never shied away from engaging in public displays of affection.

It has also been a dramatic start to their romance, after Cy, a former nightclub tycoon, was also arrested for driving under the influence on the same night Paris was nabbed with the illicit drug. The pair has also fought off controversy about a hit-and-run after Cy hit a photographer outside a Hollywood restaurant.

But he has been labeled Paris’ hero after spotting an intruder at her home, peering through a window and carrying two knives. Cy immediately grabbed his gun and ordered the man to drop the knives and lay on his stomach until cops arrived. According to a source close to the couple, the mother of Cy’s daughter, Shea, used to be a cocktail waitress at one of his Las Vegas establishments.
