Paris Hilton will never again be the A-lister that she once was, but she has been popping up in the news quite a bit in recent weeks.

First, Paris’ brother, Conrad Hilton, was arrested in an international incident that would’ve landed just about anyone without a famous last name behind bars for a very long time.

A few days later, Paris faked an orgasm on stage and reminded everyone of why she’s famous in the first place.

With Paris apparently on some sort of comeback tour, it was only a matter of time before someone asked her about that other famous sex tape/reality star with whom she used to be BFFs.

Yes, we’re talking about Farrah Abraham. Just kidding, it’s Kim Kardashian:

"That’s never been true," Paris recently said when asked about rumors that she’s jealous of her former bestie. "I’m happy for her and her beautiful family  – and very proud. She’s killin’ it."

Of course, Paris also threw a bit of shade and claimed to have invented the genre that made the K-clan famous:

"I think Nicole and I definitely started the whole reality TV thing," Paris said, referring to her 2003-2007 series, The Simple Life. "It seems like the shows today are more about drama than having fun. Nicole and I were just having fun."

As usual, Paris comes off as a bit delusional here (The Real World, The Osbournes, and several other reality shows pre-date The Simple Life), but she’s right in the fact that she is one of the celebs who helped usher in the era of reality television.

Kim recently wished Paris a happy birthday on Instagram, so despite the shade, there’s no bad blood between these two. 

Of course, Paris really has no choice but to give Kim her due these days. She’s basically just the Scottie Pippen to Kim’s big-bootied Michael Jordan.
