Paris Hilton ready to wed at 30

Paris Hilton would "love" to get married and have a baby in the next year.

The socialite - who turns 30 next month - says approaching the milestone age is "scary" but makes her feel more ready than ever to settle down and start a family.

When asked whether she wanted to start making such changes in her life, Paris - who has been dating Las Vegas club mogul Cy Waits for almost a year - said: "Yeah definitely! I'd love that."

Though Paris admits it is "scary" to reach 30, she is throwing her energy into organising birthday celebrations.

She said: "We're planning a lot of big parties around it. I'm so excited!"

Paris - who was engaged to Jason Shaw in 2002 and then to Paris Latsis in 2005 - also said she couldn't "keep track" of "rumours going around" that she is already planning to marry Cy.

This time last year Paris said she wanted to get married to her then-boyfriend Doug Reinhardt.

She said: "I wouldn't rule out a wedding in 2010. With how amazing everything is going between us, I see a very bright and happy future. He's taught me how real love can feel."

The couple split shortly after, reportedly because she was worried the 'Hills' star was using her to further his career.
