Paris Hilton plans to take things less seriously in 2009.

The socialite and hotel heiress – who recently split from her Good Charlotte rocker beau Benji Madden – says she’ll concentrate on enjoying herself in the New Year.

She explains, “I want to try not to take everything so seriously.

“I am trying to live my life and have the time of my life. I want to just try to have my real friends around me, my family, and all my animals and pets and be happy.”
