The four hurricanes that have hit Florida have twice hit Paris Hilton – who, because of this weekend's Hurricane Jeanne, was evacuated to safety in Orlando while filming her new movie.
"We are getting ready to evacuate right now," Hilton told the Hollywood Reporter from the South Beach set of National Lampoon's Pledge This! on Friday. "It's been hard to shoot with so many starts and stops, but it's a really funny movie, and I can't wait to get it done so everyone can see it."
Not that bad weather can dampen the spirits – or the marketing – of the hotel heiress. Besides her book, Confessions of an Heiress, being No. 6 on The New York Times best-seller list, she's also promoting a jewelry collection on Amazon.com; an apparel and denim line under Heiress Clothing; an upcoming fragrance; and a string of nightclubs called Club Paris – with the first set to open in Orlando.
But wait, there's more: Her slogan, "That's Hot" (which she's trademarked), will soon be emblazoned on a line of merchandising and apparel; her first CD is about to debut; and she's in discussions for The Simple Life 3 with sidekick Nicole Richie.
"I am a hard worker, and I travel a lot," says Hilton, 22. "When I'm on a plane, I'm reading scripts or designing things or writing. All I do is work. I wake up in the morning at 6, and I just go to work. It's been nonstop. I didn't even have a summer – I usually go to Europe, but I've been here and busy building this brand. I'm doing everything I want to do and having fun while I'm doing it."
