Ever wanted to know more about the inner workings of Paris Hilton's life?

Well, you're going to anyway, as the starlet is producing an "unflinching, authorised documentary" about her life, which is currently being introduced to buyers at Cannes.

9.14 Pictures and XYZ Films announced the untitled documentary at the Cannes Film Festival, as a look into the life of a "businesswoman, entrepreneur and media icon".

They'll follow Hilton as she discusses why and how she became famous, what it's been like living under the spotlight and how it's made her who she is today.

"Paris Hilton is a modern day-Marilyn Monroe - beautiful, iconised, world famous, shaped by mass media and misunderstood," said the project's directors Don Argott and Sheena Joyce.

"We are thrilled to work with Paris to explore her complicated relationship with the public, the press and the politics that shape our perception of a modern celebrity."
