Some celebrities have made names for themselves not through their acting, singing or philanthropy, but through their epic partying. While many of these ladies have cleaned up, they’re still remembered for their wild ways. Here are 9 of Hollywood’s most famous party girls!
9. Paris Hilton
Long before she hit the small screen on the reality show “The Simple Life,” Paris Hilton was already famous for her party girl lifestyle. When she was still a teenager living at Waldorf Astoria in New York City, she began hitting clubs with her sister Nicky. Over the years, her partying has definitely gotten out of control. She has had a DUI, has been caught with marijuana more than once and was arrested for cocaine possession.
