An
Interview
with
PARIS
HILTON Continued
By Joey Berlin
Paris Hilton is rich enough to buy anything
she wants - except movie stardom.
She will have to earn that the hard way,
by headlining major films that draw big
crowds. Her biggest role so far - besides
in her infamous first video - was the 2005
horror flick “House of Wax,” but that stab
at breaking through on the big screen was
not a huge hit.
So Hilton has a lot riding on her new
comedy, “The Hottie and the nottie.” The
only well-known member of the cast, Hilton
stars as a hot young woman who is best
friends forever with an ugly duckling. In
“The Hottie and the nottie,” Hilton vows
not to go on dates until her drop-dead repulsive
gal pal has a love life of her own.
The famous heiress and professional
party girl turns 27 this month, and she
already has her own lines of clothing,
books, shoes, perfume, hair extensions,
drinks and watches. now “The Hottie and
the Nottie” gives Paris her first big chance
to carry a nationally released movie by
herself, and her future in Hollywood could
hang in the balance.
Q: Would you ever date a “nottie,” an
ugly guy?
A: yeah, I have before.
Q: Who?
A: I’m not going to say who because
I’d feel bad! you probably have seen him
in photographs.
Q: you seem so happy in this movie.
Did you feel that way the whole way
through filming?
A: It was so much fun on set. We all
immediately bonded and became really
close friends. We would hang out even
when we weren’t working. I was really
happy with everything.
Q: How did you like being a producer
of this movie?
A: It’s a lot of work. you are basically
working on and off camera. It was
just such a fun project that I enjoyed every
minute of it.
Q: How seriously do you think people
in the movie industry take you?
A: I think a lot of people have seen
me on “The Simple Life.” I’ve been doing
that show for five seasons and it’s a
reality show. I play a character, though,
so I’m basically acting in that but maybe
people think that is really how I am. It’s
not, though. I’ve been working with Ivana
Chubbuck, who is an incredible acting
coach, and I worked very hard for this.
now they will take me seriously.
Q: Was this story line your original
idea?
A: Actually the writer came to me with
it, and so he wrote this with me in mind.
He said, “There is no one else who could
play the hottie the way you could play it.”

Charles White:
By Leslie Andrews
Desert Local news sits down with
Charles White, author of “your Lottery
numbers Dream Book”, a guide
to winning the lottery.
White, a Desert Hot Springs resident,
was inspired to write the book inspired
by numerology and learned how
to converse letters into numbers. “It’s
not a book that guarantees you to win,
but it gives you more to play with,”
he said. In this book, White learned
how to convert names into numbers,
whether it be personal names or names
of places and companies. “I am hoping
that this book goes into all other countries
that have lotto games,” he added.
“The lottery is a trillion dollar industry
worldwide.”
Of course, it was not an easy task
to gather all of these numbers together.
White had to study numerology for
years in order to gather up the information
needed to piece this book together.
He was partially inspired by the days
when phone numbers used to have
letters in them. “I remember the days
when Pacific Bell used letters, and it
inspired many to have dreams about
certain numbers,” he said. “I soon set
out on a journey after I discovered
this.” White was also inspired by Dr.
Juno Jordan, a famous numerologist, to
come up with this book. “Dr. Jordan’s
method was the easiest to understand,”
he states.
It is fairly common for people to
play numbers based on their own birthdays,
anniversaries or just plain lucky
numbers. White suggests that one
may use numbers based on their own

names, places where they live, things
they own and places people travel to.
“Where I came from, people used insurance
policy numbers as a gimmick
to playing the lottery,” White recalls.
each name is converted into six different
figures ranging from 1 to 51, using
numbers based on the California
Lottery and other state lotteries whose
numbers reach that high. “Some lotteries
do go beyond 51,” White stated.
“This is a big thing. It’s not impossible.
If you’re not in it, you can’t win it.”
He believes that this book is a musthave
for all lottery and casino games
players.
geographically, people have many
different strategies to playing lottery
or gambling games. “Back east, people
were familiar with playing numbers,”
White said. nationally, Americans

spend $60 Billion a year playing the
state lotteries and at least a million
people play on a weekly basis.
Has White had success with his
own theories of winning the lottery?
Twice, he has won substantial amounts
with the California State Lotto. “We
all have dreams and I believe that all
dreams come true,” he remarked. But
what’s the secret? “you have to play
the numbers that are connected to you,”
he said. “Once you pick your numbers
out, you better stick to the numbers
that you chose. Don’t change.”
“your Lottery numbers Dream
Book” is available in both english
and Spanish. The book will be hitting
Coachella valley bookstores very
soon.
