It seems hotel heiress Paris Hilton may have inherited some of her great-grandfather Conrad's entrepreneurial savvy. The socialite and great-granddaughter of the founder of Hilton Hotels has a clothing line, fragrance, music and books, and she's adding a new venture to the list -- a motorcycle racing team. Our friends at Luxist report that Hilton is now co-owner to a new MotoGP 125cc team, named SuperMartxé VIP by Paris Hilton. The team behind SuperMartxé also organizes a dance party series of the same name on the island of Ibiza. (Hilton previously collaborated with SuperMartxé on a promotional video for the parties.) When they approached Hilton about being a celebrity endorser of SuperMartxé, she put the pedal to the medal and opted to buy into the franchise. Hilton's contract stipulates that she must attend five of the season's 18 races, which take place all over the world, from Indianapolis to Qatar.

YOU GO GIRL!
That's awesome Paris. She is a true entrepreneur. I started my own venture wyhen I invented one of the HOTTEST new products for the outdoors industry. It's called a Pen Fishing Rod. I now sell them in over 140 countries. They are featured on AsSeenOnTv.com as well as a few other outdoor companies & web sites. It's a cleverly fabricated miniature fishing rod disguised as a Pen. It's only 7¾" closed or 4' 9" which is 57" in length when fully opened & comes with your choice of 9 different reels ranging from the world's smallest fly fishing reel to an equally fabulously designed variety of spinning reels both front & rear drag. Then we have the Goliath series rods which are 8" closed & 63" or 5' 3" fully opened and also come with your choice of 9 different reels. Watch our videos on youtube.com created by happy customers from all over the globe featuring our products. Google us, don't just take our word for it!

"she put the pedal to the medal...." Um, Ms. Drell (reporter), the correct expression is, "She put the pedal to the METAL." Please hire a proofreader or editor.
It kills me how so many losers sit around and look for errors in someone's story or comment. Get a hobby gorgeous. Or go pet your fur or ugly snakeskin boots.
Whats wrong with fur or snakeskin? I just bought fur coats and snakeskin boots for all members of my family!
Cool....... she is "racey", and a motorcycle is just one more thing she can put between her legs....LOL..
I was all excited when I heard Paris was into a new business venture.... But disappointed when I found out it wasn't protitution..
Shucks... Oh well, there will be others...........
OK AOL TAKE NOTICE. THIS STORY HAS BEEN UP FOR AT LEAST TWO DAYS, MAYBE THREE AND THERE ARE 7 COMMENTS. ONE OF WHICH IS SPAM, ONE IS A COMMENT TO ANOTHER POSTER AND THEN YOU HAVE THIS ONE TO YOU. IT LOOKS LIKE THE WORLD IS NOT THAT INTERESTED IN WHAT PARIS HILTON IS DOING. SO HOW'S ABOUT WE FIND SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE IMPORTANT TO WRITE ABOUT!!!!
I thought she was already a member of the world's OLDEST PROFESSION.
Here is what other Millionaires sitting on the side lines should invest in; Invest in an Inventor, Designer of new ideas and products. Set an amout you are willing to risk, bring in more investors to spread out the risk for stage one: Development and Protection. You may need a Shop of tools, Raw materials, and a talanted crew eger to get the job done. Picking out an idea/project; I want to be clear, If you would buy one of there ideas if you saw it on a store shelf then that idea / invention is for you. Yes, I am an Inventor / designer of future products and I know if I have a millionaire in my life today, we would be adding jobs to our country and I would become debt free. Yea, I have debt from building working prototypes, of some in my catalog of future products. So, invest in America and do the work to prefect the idea, then, protect it, market test it and produce it... I know it is the next Gold Rush for America. Copy this investment idea, and talk about it with your family. Inventors are everywhere in your town and some have them in there own families. Talk with them, you just might uncover a Gold Mine. Good Luck. CamelotCreations@aol.com
You go Paris,, Invest in the US.. Some others should heed your good sense of enrepeneurship.. Some people just talk and do nothing, at least you might create some jobs we so desperately need.. I think your GREAT, Pretty, and can get something going here.. God bless and Good Luck
OK spell checker,, I wrote this comment quickly ^^ Entrepreneurship ^^^ LOL.. that's better right.. LOL
if she was smart she would use her name and connections to open and run a new string of luxory hotels. She could easily team up with the Maloofs of the Palms. A motorcycle team just sounds stupid
This just in.....Absolutely no one CARES!!!!
I am a Grandfather..
I would love to see Guys try to Stay On Top of Educating themselves in HS and College then thereafter while having to spend 33% or more of your time being a Pretty Woman and keeping up your appearance..and then be Still Paid 25% Less than a Man gets for doing the same job..
Girls/Women have a Disadvantage in the Working World, but if they take advantage of their Appearance, they can get that lost Advantage back .
And Blame the Parents.. They raise their Daughters to Live in FantasyLand as Children and Not push them into the Acedemic world...But more into being a Princess... and to Give of themselves to The Males..A Girl/Woman Has very little chance at Supporting herself in the Real World.. How many Women make the Average Median Income ( $50k yr)? Vs Men..While they have to devote 33% of thei time to attract a Man to achieve their Goals they were raised to do, Get Married, Have Kids, Be a Housekeeper, Economist, Nutritionist and a Soccer Mom..and a NANNY..
I'd like to see Guys try to do the same thing.. devote 33% to doing all the above and also Earn At least the Average Median Income.. And Again, Their Parents raised them to Trust People, Paris Trusted Boys and Men , who took advantage of her, just like 99% of all other Girls.. She is Wiser now and has taken a Different Direction in her life.. and i admire her for Trying at least.
Something 99% of Men Don't even try..and are followers and Not leaders..
My Daughters and Now Grandaughters were Raised in the REAL World and didn't fall prey to Boys and Men and became Very Successfull in both The Working and In their Personal Lives with Husbands who respect them.. a rare commodity..Just Like I did with their mother..
I don't care what you say. She doesn't wear a black dress as well as Ann Coulter.
DIDNT SHE ALREADY RECK A MOTOR CYCLE ONCE ON THE RED CARPET TRYING TO BE COOL..(SHE'S NOT)MOTOGP IS A BRAVE BUT DUMB BUNCH!

"... pedal to the medal ..."?
Doesn't anyone else, including AOL editors (whatever it is they think editing might be!), get tired of see AOL writing at below-sixth-grade level. But why any writer, adult or child, would not wonder what a medal with a pedal might be--and why s/he had never seen or heard of one--or why anyone would need or want to put pedals to medals . . . well, that would be anyone's guess! The point is, if a purported, vocational "writer" had never heard of "putting the pedal-to-the metal" (as in quickly accelerating while driving a car . . . but not while riding a motorcycle, which has no metal floorboard), or spells based on vague remembrances of misheard or mispronounced (but also misunderstood) phrases, it gives readers the impression, both, of lack of education and lack of adult level experience. . . and of a publisher with exceedingly low standards: Who besides kiddies takes such kiddie-style writing seriously?
