Paris Hilton buys pink Bentley

Paris Hilton has bought herself a pink Bentley worth $200,000 (£130,000) for a Christmas present.

The socialite told E! Online that she was inspired to buy the car by Barbie dolls.

She said: "I've just always wanted a pink car. I think when you're a little girl and you have the Barbie corvette you're always like: 'Oh I wish I had a car like this one day.'

"So I think it just comes from being a fan of Barbie for so long. This is a car that I cannot drive every single day but I will be driving a lot."

Speaking about her plans for the holiday, Hilton added: "I love going skiing so we're going to be going to Aspen and then afterwards my sister and I are going to take some friends and go to Sydney in Australia, to host a huge party for New Year."
