Whitney Doesn't Want to be Like Paris Hilton

Whitney Port is making it known that she doesn’t want to be known as a talentless, lucky, privileged, entitled, jack of all trades mast of none.  Or as the question put it to her, she doesn’t want to be like Paris Hilton.

“I really respect her – she’s super hard-working and she’s made a name for herself but I want to be known as a clothing designer.”

Whitney has always had a good head on her shoulders.  She’s well aware that reality TV fame is fleeting.  “I know the reality TV career is not going to last forever and when it’s over I want to be taken seriously. Partying is just not me.”

But now, a large part of Whitney’s life is depicted on MTV reality shows.  Whitney discussed how it was much easier on theHills working with Lauren Conrad than working with bullheaded Olivia Palermo on theCity.

“It was so different with Lauren. We always had each other’s back. There was definitely a sense of loyalty. With Olivia there’s more competition. I had to constantly watch my back. It wasn’t easy that’s for sure.”

In the dating department, although Whitney and Jay have long sense broken up, he will make a small appearance in the current season of the show.  “You’ll see him for a second but it’s nothing really romantic. It’s just for closure”.

And in true Whitney fashion, she’s very humble about her celebrity and fashion icon status.  “It’s very cool [to be seen as a fashion icon]. I don’t really consider myself that but it’s very flattering because I work really hard at it. I look at fashion as a true art form”.

But 14% of you say she’s your fashion icon.
