Paulina Gretzky has become quite the internet sensation in the past year – posting photos on twitter to the delight of many male fans and attracting the attention of blogs around the world!

The 23 year old now graces the pages of Augusts Complex Magazine and says the only reason everyone is paying attention is because of her dad. (Although we think these sizzling shots might have something to do with it)

“I don’t think they’d care if I was anybody else. I’m a normal 23-year old. I know attention is part of the career I’ve chosen, but I wish I was presented in a different light. The rumor that my dad made me shut down my Twitter account is completely false. I want people to see that I’m intelligent. I’m not a bimbo.”

Of course after “twitter-gate” Paulina was caught in a very revealing outfit out in Hollywood and knows now, maybe that wasn’t the smartest choice.

“I had something in the back of my head telling me that maybe it was not a good idea to wear that outfit to dinner that night. Of course, the next day TMZ said that I was going to nightclubs in lingerie. I wasn’t. I was at a restaurant eating dinner with friends. That’s my biggest problem with it, that people are lying about what I’m doing. But I should have been more aware. I understand that. I just never had to censor myself before.”

Now the blonde beauty is focusing on her music career – working with Universal Music and trying to put a little distance between her and her famous father.

“My dad’s accomplishments are completely different than everything I’ve done with my life and the career path I want to take. What he’s done has only been inspirational for me.”
