Paris Hilton made an appearance in federal court for the sentencing of a hacker who authorities say used her bank and credit card information to run up huge bills.

Paystar Bkhchadzhyan was sentenced to four years and nine months in prison Monday and was ordered to pay more than $318,000 in restitution to Hilton’s banks and credit card companies. In a deal with prosecutors, she pleaded guilty in November to conspiracy to commit bank fraud.

In an unusual move in such cases, the 37-year-old heiress showed up at the downtown Los Angeles courthouse in a business suit and sunglasses to give a victim impact statement.

Authorities said in charging documents that the defendant also stole nude photos of Hilton, but the pictures were not part of the plea.

During the Tribeca Film Festival, Paris Hilton and director Bert Marcus stopped by to play the classic game of “It’s a Yes or No Question, It’s Truly Not That Complicated.” While doing so, they reflect back on Hilton’s music career and hint at the possibility of her going on tour.

Paris Hilton is reminding us that purity and love exist in this world. Let us stand in the rain of her sweetness, because, as you’ll see from the clip below, Hilton is uncompromisingly devoted to her fans. It’s a rare, honest view of Hilton, and we are even more smitten with her than we were before.

Hilton is a subject of a new documentary, American Meme, which is directed by Bert Marcus. The film is premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 27, 2018, and follows the lives of Hilton, Josh Ostrovsky (the Fat Jew), Brittany Furlan, and more social media superstars, as they live their lives online and off the web. In an age where #influencers wield enormous power among their followers, the film promises to show these people are just that: people.

It’s no understatement to say that Hilton was the first of such stars. Back in the early aughts, she began her career as a model, but her fame quickly exploded, as fans clamored to see her at parties or at fashion events. With Nicole Ritchie, she starred in the reality show The Simple Life, and dropped a pop record that has stood the test of time. Now, has a variety of businesses and works as a touring DJ. All the while, she’s kept us in the loop with her social media presence.

In the clip below, Hilton talks about how much she adores her fans. “I love my fans just as much as they love me,” she says, as we see scenes of her greeting fans and taking selfies with them. She talks candidly about bringing her fans into her personal life by giving fans her phone number and letting them crash at her place, to the confusion of her family. Hilton takes her fanbase seriously, and says that every day she is “texting, FaceTiming, emailing” with them, adding that she feels that she can truly be herself around them.

It’s that charming, happy-go-lucky personality that has sustained her fanbase for almost 15 years. Hilton muses that she’s watched her fans grow up, and finds that rewarding. “It’s amazing to watch my fans grow up because I’ve known them since they were little,” she says, with a precious smile. Paris: from the bottom of our hearts, it’s been lovely watching you grow up, and we hope you continue to share your light with the world.

Paris Hilton calls us in the middle of the day from a hair salon. The socialite, reality star, entrepreneur, musician and DJ (woah) is on the line to talk about her music. She’s fresh off a trip to Miami, where she played to a packed crowd during Miami Music Week—and partied so hard her crater-sized engagement ring flew off her finger. Now back home in California, we chatted with Hilton about her new sound, the scary ring incident and where you’re likely to spot her the next time she comes to town.

Paris was my favorite album of 2006. Do you think you’ll make music like that again?

Aw, thank you so much. That means a lot. The music was like so pop and so fun. That album was a lot of fun to record—every song on it was good, there were no fillers. But now my sound has changed to more EDM and dance music. People have been asking me to do a tour with the album. It could be fun but I haven’t decided yet. My schedule is really crazy.

I read conflicting stories about your new single, “I Need You”: one that the song was written in 2008 with the Madden brothers and another that you wrote it with producer Michael Green. What’s the real story?

Michael and I wrote it years ago and I thought it would be perfect to release now for Valentine’s Day. I complete re did it, the vocals and a little bit of the beat were brand new.
