Look who turned up at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival. Socialite Paris Hilton arrived at the French Riviera to promote her new documentary cheekily titled Paris, Not France.

Paris, looking cool in a floral halter-neck outfit complete with sparkling necklace, bracelet and head band, said she didn't want to release the documentary 'because it's very personal. But I've grown so much in the past two years -- I feel ready for people to see it now.'

The socialite made news earlier this month when a Miami Federal Court judge refused to dismiss a breach of contract lawsuit against her, and directed her to stand trial.

Paris has been accused of neglecting to honour promotion and publicity agreements related to her 2006 film Pledge This. Bosses at Worldwide Entertainment Group Inc. claim that she owes investors a whopping $ 8.3 million. The trial is scheduled to begin on June 8.
