Paris Hilton Revisits 2000s Fame in New Roku Doc

Paris Hilton is producing a documentary series for Roku that revisits the transformative early 2000s. The series, tentatively titled "The It Girls: Inside the 2000s," will be executive produced by Hilton through her company, 11:11 Media.

The documentary will delve into the era when paparazzi, tabloids, and reality television fundamentally altered the relationship between celebrities, media, and popular culture. It promises to include archive footage and never-before-seen conversations alongside new interviews with major figures of the time.

This project follows Hilton's earlier plans to adapt Sarah Ditum's book "Toxic: Women, Fame and the Tabloid 2000s," which featured prominent figures like Britney Spears and Kim Kardashian. The documentary is slated for release next year and aims to showcase how the women of that era became the authors of their own narratives.

"The early 2000s changed everything about what it meant to be famous," Hilton stated, highlighting how they were "original influencers before there was even a word for it." Roku Media's Head of Originals, Brian Tannenbaum, expressed excitement about partnering with Hilton to tell the definitive story of an era that redefined celebrity culture.
