A topless Paris poses for the latest issue of 944

Paris Hilton poses in just a hat and a skimpy pair of shorts in her latest raunchy magazine photo-shoot.

The hotel heiress shows off her figure in the latest issue of US magazine 944.

Paris tells the magazine she is planning to start her own charity named The Paris Hilton Foundation to "take the charity work I want to do to the next level".

She also admits that she gets furious when critics claim all she does is party.

"It makes me angry because people don't know the real me, and I'm a very hard worker." Says the 26-year-old.

"I travel around the world constantly promoting my projects and endorsing products.

"Yes, I do get paid to go to parties; in fact, I'm the person who started the whole trend of paid appearances.

"But when you see me at a party, I'm always working or promoting something."

She also discusses her numerous products and endorsements which include hair straighteners, a drink, a new perfume, a dog clothing line, and a jewellery and shoe line.

Meanwhile Sophie Monk - the former fiancee of Hilton's latest boyfriend Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden - has denied that she was dumped in favour of the heiress.

"Let me make this as plain as possible, Benji did not leave me for Paris Hilton. Benji and I did not break up badly or anything like that," said the Australian actress.

"We both decided as adults our relationship had run its course and decided to move on."

Benji, 28, is the twin brother of Joel Madden who is engaged to Paris's best friend Nicole Richie. The couple have a daughter - two-month old Harlow - together.
