No, that's not a typo.
"I've played ice hockey since I was 16 years old," Hilton reveals to E! News. "And yes, I'm pretty good at it." She even plans to teach boyfriend Benji Madden to play.
In fact, Paris says that while attending Canterbury High School in Connecticut, she was a member of the school's ice-hockey team.
"And I still like to play," says Hilton, pointing out there's a rink in Culver City, Calif., where she occasionally hits the ice. "Though I don't get to do it very often."
Well, if that's the new secret for staying skinny in Hollywood, sign us up.
But we also hear that since moving to a new gated community in Beverly Hills, far from the prying eyes of the paparazzi, she feels more comfortable displaying her sporty side.
Hilton is firming up for the promotional tour in support of her latest reality series, My New BFF, and has been in-line skating and bike riding through her neighborhood. She's also given up sodas and all fast food—including her favorite, McDonald's. That, and a hectic schedule, keeps her thin.
She confesses to hating gyms, just like the rest of us. What else does she avoid? Counting calories.
"I never do that," she says. "I wouldn't even know how to do that."
