Paris Hilton will begin having children next year.

The heiress recently told Elle Magazine, of which she is the October 2007 featured covergirl,: “I want kids next year, so I’ve got to get my body ready.”

A celebrity tattle claims:

“Paris told me, ‘I want lots of babies and a more simple life away from the celebrity spotlight. I did a lot of soul-searching about my partying and then I heard Nicole was pregnant and I decided it’s time for me to grow up and take responsibility – and the best way to do that is to become a mother.’ ”
