Rumour has it that Paris Hilton is in a state of rage that her former best friends, the Kardashian sisters, whose original claim to fame was hanging out with her, are now making much more money than Paris herself! Paris has quite openly declared her fury and has decided to wage war with the Kardhashians by pushing a new beauty line and making herself more likeable by playing down her lavish lifestyle.

"Paris is furious that Kim, who got her start by hanging out in Hollywood with her now has it all  – the reality shows, the magazine covers, the big appearance fees and promotional deals. She used to command 100,000 dollars for club appearances, but now Kim is the hottest girl  – and they aren't friends anymore. The magazines are bidding around 300,000 dollars for Kourtney's baby-shower and baby pictures. And Khloe's wedding brought in record ratings for E,” a source explained. Adding, "Paris has realized that standing for excess in a recession doesn't appeal. The Kardashian girls seem more real, and girls identify with them more. She's got to ditch the pink Bentley and concentrate on developing herself.” And that’s exactly what Paris has set about to do. She is working in a new hair and beauty line which she'll unveil in Beverly Hills next week.
