She became an accidental film star early in her career, but now socialite Paris Hilton is hoping to become a real Hollywood actress.

Still, the 26-year-old hasn't strayed too far away from familiar territory - in one scene from her new film the Hottie And The Nottie, she strips off to just her skimpy lingerie.

In the film, Paris stars as the object of affection for Nate, played by Joel Moore, who's had a crush on her since primary school.

To win her over, he must first find a boyfriend for her less attractive friend.

The heiress is currently in Berlin to on a promotional tour for her new champagne drink Rich Prosecco.

She told reporters she is planning to trawl through the markets for festive ornaments, but when asked what she really wants for Christmas, she replied: "A man to fall in love with, one for life, that I can start a family with."
