Though Paris Hilton has declared that her Simple Life costar Nicole Richie is bound to be “the best mom ever,” the hotel heiress won’t be having children of her own anytime soon.

“Someone just said that I’m adopting four blonde babies,” Hilton, 26, told PEOPLE at Friday’s Kate Somerville White Room Emmy suite in West Hollywood. “That’s retarded. No, I’m not.”

Asked if she’d want to adopt, Hilton said, “Maybe, but I want to have my own children.”

The unattached Hilton, who in recent weeks has been seen with Entourage star Adrian Grenier, 31, insists that the actor is not a romantic interest.

“Totally just friends,” says Hilton. “We met a couple years ago [and] we’ve stayed friends. He’s been like kind of a mentor to me, teaching me about the environment and what I can do.”

She adds, “I think it’s cool to talk to someone in L.A. who has more to talk about than all this artificial crap people talk about. It’s nice to talk to someone who’s real.”

Hilton has had a real busy September, filming her upcoming movie Repo! The Genetic Opera in Toronto, partying at the MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas and returning to Los Angeles for this weekend’s heavy round of Emmy parties.

Having previously starred in 2005’s horror remake House of Wax, Hilton also says she’s stepping up her acting and working with acting coach Ivana Chubbuck.

“This is my first time that I’ve actually taken it seriously. Before, I was just doing it for fun, not really paying attention – not even studying my lines. But this time, I’m serious about it,” she says.

“I really tried hard to get this role. I rehearsed. I was the best at the audition.

Ryan Seacrest May Sing and Dance on Emmy Show

September 16th, 2007

Besides the possibility of host Ryan Seacrest singing and dancing, Sunday night’s 59th annual Emmy Awards will feature the spectacle of doctors going head-to-head against mobsters – or, to be more precise, Grey’s Anatomy braving it out for the gold against The Sopranos.ryan-seacrest.jpg

Both shows are seen as the hottest rivals for best dramatic series, though there is also stiff competition in the offing from such old and new favorites as Boston Legal, Heroes and House.

The Emmys will air live on FOX from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles at 8 p.m. ET .

After the Emmys, Entertainment Tonight will host the stars at their 11th annual post-show bash, this year headlined by Duran Duran. The gathering will be held inside L.A.’s Walt Disney Concert Hall.

Besides its best dramatic series nomination, Grey’s also racked up supporting acting nods for four of its stars – T.R. Knight, Sandra Oh, Chandra Wilson and Katherine Heigl – while The Sopranos ended its series run with 15 nominations in all, including two for stars James Gandolfini and Edie Falco.

In the race for outstanding comedy series, the nominees are Entourage, The Office, 30 Rock, Two and a Half Men and Ugly Betty, which is the show TV columnists are predicting will be the one to beat on Sunday – as is its star, America Ferrera.

The overall top nominee going into the ceremony is HBO’s made-for-TV movie Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, with 17.
