Nicky O Hotels

We already knew that Nicky Hilton was planning to launch her own hotel chain, but now the hotel heiress officially has an opening scheduled for the first in a chain of boutique hotels. Nicky O (her middle name is Olivia) will open its doors this November in South Beach, Florida. Hilton is a self-described fashionista and her intent is to have her hotels focus on design and designers. In keeping with this, she has had several famous designers decorate the suites. Roberto Cavalli will be doing the 5,000-sq. foot penthouse in the SoBe hotel in a gold theme that mimics his retail stores.

A second location is tentatively scheduled to open in Chicago in December, with 3 or 4 more locations to follow.

Paris Hilton's New Home

Paris Hilton just purchased a Tuscan-style home in the Hollywood Hills for roughly $3.1 million. The house, in a gated community not too far from Cameron Diaz's pad, is loaded with posh extras, including a $43,000 Baccarat crystal chandelier in the lounge, a very classy $20,000 mirrored, four-poster bed and a 400-sq foot closet for her vast wardrobe.

The most unusual part of the home is actually the pets' living area. There is a special gated section inside the house where Paris's dogs will sit on pink pillows and drink from pink bowls. Each dog has its own personal crown, as well. Not one to exclude any of her pets, Paris has also commissioned a custom cage for her monkey, though the last time we heard about the monkey, it was supposedly being confiscated by Los Angeles officials.
