Paris Hilton: "I'm Down to Earth and Smart"
Oct. 23 2009, Published 3:27 p.m. ET
Paris Hilton isn't the party-loving airhead she'd have us believe. In fact, as well as being intelligent and grounded, she says when it comes to her public persona — the joke is on us.
''I would do the baby voice and it's kind of like this character I made up," she admitted on Fearne and Paris Hilton, which aired on UK television, Oct. 22.
"But in real life I'm completely different, I'm very down to earth, I'm smart, I know what's going on.''

So who is the real Paris Hilton?
''It's kind of like I almost play to the image and kind of have a laugh at myself about it," she explains of her alter ego.
''I think a lot of people will assume that I'm just like an airhead. But in my everyday life, when I'm hanging out with my friends or if I'm in a business meeting I'll talk in my normal voice.''
