Paris manipulates Toronto Festival, aims on creating more hype
When Hayden Panetierre branded her friend Paris Hilton as a marketing genius, did she also mean manipulative?
Well I would think so.
To prove of her being manipulative and ‘scheming,’ Paris has reportedly “craftily manipulated the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival in an attempt to gain more publicity for a new documentary about herself.”
According to an article on Page Six, our dear heiress has allegedly “forced festival organizers to cancel two of three screenings of Paris, Not France which is set to premiere Tuesday.”
While I would assume that Paris just didn’t like her make-up in the documentary, Paris’ rep, Jason Moore was quick to respond, saying, “We wanted to create more buzz - create some hype . . . We felt the impact would be more extreme if we had one screening.”
And of course with that kind of hype comes a bigger chance to make more (and more) money.
“She is a partner with the documentary and will be attending Tuesday’s screening in support of it,” confirms Moore.
“Paris, Not France” as described by its director Adrian Petty - daughter of rocker Tom Petty, is a documentary that “explores the businesswoman and the human being behind the public persona.” It includes in-depth interviews with Paris’ parents, Rick and Kathy, and her sister, Nicky Hilton.
Donald Trump, Camille Paglia and Michael Musto were said to have also taken part in the documentary.
With her previous launching of Bandit, shoes, handbags, and the upcoming premiere of her latest reality TV series, Paris Hilton’s My New BFF, don’t you think Paris is creating too much of the hype already?!
