Even for Hilton, Aussie paparazzi are too much

Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton has given Australia's paparazzi a blast, describing them as annoying and one photographer as a "sneaky little bastard".

Hilton's views are aired in a reality TV show that just premiered in the US on the popular MTV network.

The show followed Hilton and other cast members as they spent two months last year shooting the re-make of the classic horror film, House of Wax, at the Warner Roadshow studios on the Gold Coast.

The reality show's cameras did not seem to bother the hotel chain heiress.

Australia's press and paparazzi, however, were not so welcome.

"It was really annoying in Australia with the press, the paparazzi," Hilton said on the TV show.

Hilton was staying at The Regent apartment building in Surfers Paradise and, according to the 24-year-old, photographers with long lenses went to great lengths to shoot her.

Some rented apartments in blocks opposite her.

"So, every time I'd be in, like, the hot tub or whatever, like, the next day it would be on the cover of every magazine," Hilton explained.

Viewers of the MTV show watched as Hilton played a cat and mouse game with the paparazzi.

It also showed Hilton looking at an Australian newspaper containing paparazzi shots of her opening a fridge in her apartment.

"Is he out there?" Hilton, peeking through blinds looking for paparazzi in an opposing building, asked a male companion.

On another occasion she is standing on her balcony looking over at a photographer.

"Sneaky little bastard," she said.

Jared Padalecki, a 23-year-old actor from Texas, felt for his co-star.

"It is pretty ridiculous out here," Padalecki told the show.

"Even more so than in the States with Paris, because Paris is huge out here and I think the first day we got here there was actually paparazzi waiting outside of our building and trying to shoot 18 floors up, like on the balcony."

Hilton also apparently did not approve of her Surfers Paradise accommodation.

In one scene the camera shows her walking into The Regent apartment block.

"This is my cheesy apartment building," she said.

"It reminds me of a motel."

Hilton showed she had a big heart when she agreed to attend a 13-year-old local girl's birthday party. The girl, Remi, sent an invitation in the post and Hilton accepted. The theme of the party was to dress like Paris Hilton.

"I'm not busy today. It's my day off and I'm bored," Hilton explained.

The TV show also revealed Elisha Cuthbert, the Canadian actress best known for her role opposite Kiefer Sutherland on the TV drama, 24, was not happy with the clothes she was originally assigned for House of Wax.

Hilton got a better deal, Cuthbert said.

"Paris gets this cute lingerie. I get stuck with long-johns so I thought 'No, this isn't fair'," Cuthbert said.

"I wanted something cuter."

Cuthbert won out, telling the TV show she got to wear a pair of "kick-ass boots".

House of Wax, a re-make of the 1953 horror classic starring Vincent Price, is scheduled to open in Australian cinemas July 14.
