Paris Hilton bares backside for Paper magazine

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 3 (UPI) -- Paris Hilton recently posed for a provocative Paper magazine spread.

The 34-year-old designer landed the publication's Winter issue cover, and bared her butt in one of the accompanying photos. Hilton sports an open-backed jumpsuit in the image that leaves her toned backside on display.

The snapshot immediately drew comparisons to Kim Kardashian's bootycentric cover for the magazine's Winter 2014 issue. Hilton famously compared her then-best friend's behind to a "trash bag filled with cottage cheese" on Chet Buchanan and the Morning Zoo in 2008.

Hilton may not have as many social media followers as Kardashian, but acknowledged the importance of connecting with her fans in the interview. The designer told the magazine she manages her accounts herself, unlike many other celebrities.

"I think it's important to talk to my fans myself," she shared. "I do have a team member to help me post things I want, but I mostly Snapchat, tweet and post on Instagram myself. I love how social media means I can connect with my fans more personally and show them my life and hear their stories."

Hilton previously starred on five seasons of The Simple Life with Nicole Richie, and last released the single "High Off My Love" in May. She continues to oversee her fashion and perfume empires, and has several new projects in the works.

"Another very busy and productive year for both my music and my brand," she said of 2016. "I'll be continuing to tour as a DJ and create new music, as well as opening new stores and expanding my cosmetics line and products globally."

Hilton is the great-grandaughter of Hilton hotels founder Conrad Hilton, and sister to Conrad, Barron and Nicky Hilton. Her perfume line, which includes such scents as "Heiress" and "With Love, Paris Hilton," is worth an estimated $2 billion.
