Paris: I like to pretend I'm stupid

Paris Hilton has revealed what she and Jessica Simpson have in common - they both like to pretend they're stupid. The 'Pledge This!' actress - who is about to star in another season of 'The Simple Life' with former best friend Nicole Richie - says in real life she, and Jessica, are very different from their public personas. She told Britain's Style magazine "Nobody seems to get that how I am on 'The Simple Life' is a character. "I play dumb, just like Jessica Simpson plays dumb. But we know exactly what we're doing. We're smart blondes." The 25-year-old party girl also says she's fed up with reports about her seemingly wild party antics.

She said: "I read these stories about me starting fights and saying stupid stuff. I've become a cartoon. All those stories are made up."
