1 Night in Paris is a 2004 pornographic video depicting Paris Hilton and her then-boyfriend Rick Salomon having sexual intercourse in 2001. Not originally intended for release, it was filmed primarily with a single, stationary, tripod-mounted camera using "night vision." However, a handful of scenes were filmed indoors without night vision, including the final scene, which features Hilton performing oral sex on Salomon.

The video is one of the most explicit celebrity sex tapes, showing clear vaginal penetration, cunnilingus and fellatio with full cum shot. The video also features Hilton interrupting sex to answer her mobile phone, which led to a number of parodies.
The video was released by Salomon shortly before Hilton's TV series The Simple Life debuted, causing a media sensation. When Hilton stated publicly that she was "out of it," didn't know what she was doing during the taping of the video and did not approve its public release, she was sued by Salomon for defamation. Hilton then countersued Salomon over the release of the tape, settling out of court in July 2005. According to reports, Hilton was awarded as much as $400,000 and planned to donate a percentage to charity.[1]
In a 2006 interview with the British edition of GQ magazine, Hilton stated: "I never received a dime from the video. It's just dirty money and (Salomon) should give it all to some charity for the sexually abused or something. To be honest, I don't even think about it any more."[2]
The original video, and copies of the DVD, are still circulating on the Internet and can be legally seen on several sites. The video received the AVN Awards in 2005 for "Best Selling Title of the Year," "Best Renting Title of the Year" and "Best Overall Marketing Campaign – Individual Project." The DVD titled 1 Night in Paris is distributed by Red Light District, a production company that produces and distributes higher-end pornographic videos. The video has since been purchased by Vivid entertainment owned, promoted and sold exclusively by them on their portal.[3]
