What can we even say about Paz de la Huerta at this point? She’s a mess. A glorious mess. She gets drunk and flashes her boobs. She takes off her clothes for literally ANY camera. She hooks up with randoms. She throws cocktail glasses at reality stars. She’s also an actress. Paz has a new interview in The New York Times, and it is… epic. I think with normal profiles of Paz, there’s usually a nude photo shoot, so no one ever gets around to reading all of the crazy crap she says. But this is different – here, we only have the words. The crazy speaks for itself. It’s epic.
You’re in the middle of filming the second season of HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire,” in which you play Steve Buscemi’s on-and-off girlfriend Lucy Danziger. What’s in store for your character, considering she got pregnant at the end of last season?
I can’t share much about the show, but hopefully some of these women who resent me for being [nude] or in little to nothing will be pleased that I’m knocked up, and they’ll pay attention to the performance.You do seem to attract the enmity of many women.
Women have said the most malicious, disgusting things about me. But I know that when somebody comments about you, good or bad, it is 99 percent of the time their projection of how they feel about themselves. Even my own sister treats me worse than somebody would treat a rat. She actually likes rats, so worse than that.Is your sister older or younger?
Older. Even when I was in my womb she used to punch my mother’s stomach.Oh, my God, you’re kidding me.
She did not want me born. I’m working on my relationship with my mother and father, but my upbringing has been very destructive. They’re all Scorpios — my mother, my father and my sister.You’re concerned about being pigeonholed as the actress who gets [nude] in every role she plays. You could simply resolve to never take your clothes off on film again.
That’s good advice, but I’m telling you, typecasting is typecasting. And I mean, look at Charlotte Rampling. She’s a brilliant actress, and she’s still getting [nude] for films. If I look like that at her age, I’ll flaunt it.How did you come to accompany Jack Nicholson to the premiere of “The Departed”?
I met Jack at the Roosevelt Hotel when I was 19. I was dating a narcissistic actor at the time who had abandoned me to schmooze for his work. I was very angry, and Jack kept following me around. He said to me: “They don’t make them like you anymore. I haven’t seen a beautiful girl like you since 1965.” I said, “Let’s go make my boyfriend jealous.” So he had me cornered, and he was flirting with me, and my boyfriend got completely jealous. We’ve stayed friends.You have been in the tabloids a bit, notably in March when you were arrested for throwing a glass at a model. I read that there were shards sticking out of her leg.
My lawyer says I’m not allowed to talk about the case. I so wish that I could. But I wouldn’t call her a model. She’s an ex-reality-TV star who’s hungry for publicity. Just go on TMZ and look at her reported bruise. There ain’t no glass in her leg.You said once that Elvis’s ghost gave you an orgasm in his recording studio at Graceland. That’s unbelievable.
I was with my ex-boyfriend and had to beg him to go to Graceland. I felt like he was jealous of Elvis because I’ve always been infatuated by him, which is hysterical because he’s passed away.Your ex-boyfriend, the singer Scott Weiland?
Yeah. So I went to his recording studio because sometimes the sensitive people feel him in this room, and I stood in this corner and I felt him. What can I say? I felt him touch me.When you say he touched you, you mean in a Hitachi Magic Wand kind of way?
I mean, come on, he’s a ghost. I felt his spirit go through me and give me pleasure. I experienced that when my cat died. She waited until I got home from Sundance, and she passed away the second she was in my arms, and I felt her spirit go through my body. But this was different. It was like Elvis was tickling me with a feather.

She dated Scott Weiland? And he took to her to Graceland where she was molested by Elvis’s ghost? And then she dated Jack Nicholson, but only to make her boyfriend jealous? Oooooo….and if Jack really followed her around, telling her that she’s so special, I just lost some respect for Jack.
As for all of projecting our own insecurities on Poor Paz… well, I’m not so sure about that. She is, after all, one of the most busted 26-year-olds most of us has ever seen. Is that projecting? Or is it just truth-telling?
Oh, I found the old photos of Paz and Jack from the 2007 premiere of The Departed. Look how different her face was then!
