Paris Hilton is no longer busy with TV and film projects, so we don’t see much of her on TV anymore, but we did learn that the socialite is back in the studios recording new music.

She also ended up in the news recently because of a distasteful ad featuring a cartoon version of her.

The mock ad leaked online. It was designed to be an agency pitch for a car company. The ad features the Kardashian sisters bound and gagged in the trunk of a yellow Indian-made compact Ford Figo car with Paris Hilton in the driver’s seat.

Public Outcry and Denouncement of the Mock Ad

Paris, the Kardashians, and Ford have all publicly denounced the ad, reportedly developed by JWT India for the car company.

“The ‘leave your worries behind’ Ford ads are disgusting, vile and offensive to all women. It is unacceptable that Ford would align itself with an ad agency that would so carelessly release these ads. The Kardashians do not take this lightly and they are exploring all of their legal options,” a lawyer for the Kardashian family said in a statement.

Paris Hilton’s Continued Friendship With the Kardashians

Paris told TMZ that she considers the Kardashian sisters her friends. According to an online report, some JWT employees were fired because of the ad.

Paris Hilton: Resilience in the Face of Controversy

You have to hand it to Paris. Even if her name gets dragged into not-so-good news, she manages to step out looking nice and happy.

The other night, the hotel heiress was photographed arriving at the Playhouse Nightclub for Star Magazine’s Hollywood Rocks event. Paris looked smashing in her long-sleeved mini dress.

Accompanied by her boyfriend, Spanish model River Viiperi, who opted for a more casual look with a baseball cap and jeans, Paris, at the age of 32, showcased her fashion-forward style.
