Paris Hilton Goes to Harvard ... Seriously

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (Feb. 7) - Paris Hilton found herself somewhere she never thought she'd be: Harvard. "Harvard is hot!" the 26-year-old celebrity heiress said Wednesday as she picked up the Harvard Lampoon humor magazine's "Woman of the Year" award in front of the Lampoon castle.

"Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine standing here, standing on the steps of the Harvard Lampoon. It's really exciting and I've had such a great time," said Hilton, who stars as an attractive best friend to an ugly duckling in the film "The Hottie & the Nottie," which opens Friday.

What's Your Take?

Hilton, who arrived an hour late for the festivities, told the crowd of about 100 people who greeted her that her "Simple Life" co-star Nicole Ritchie was with her, then added: "Just kidding."

The Lampoon award is a spoof of the annual honors given by Harvard's Hasty Pudding Theatricals. The nation's oldest undergraduate drama troupe planned to present its "Woman of the Year" award to Charlize Theron on Thursday. "Man of the Year" Christopher Walken will be honored Feb. 15.

I met Paris HIlton's grandad when he was manager of the Shamrock (?) Hilton in Houston, TX. It was the week before President Kennedy was shot. The man has had enough. His brother, Nikki, drank himself to death. Even being married to Elizabeth Taylor was not enough inducement to straighten him out.
Now, Barry's own granddaugthter is a re-incarnation of her great-uncle, Nikki.
Barron Hilton can use a little peace and light in his life and I hope he finds it.

Ummm....I think many of the posters here are missing the point, after reading the comments posted. First of all, she is not attending Harvard, the Lampoon gave her an award which they give to people they are, in effect, mocking. So their giving her the award was, in my opinion, competely appropriate.

This girl probably works harder and longer hours than all you morons that are wasting the middle of the weekdays obviously sitting in front of your computers, writing bad comments about her. If you have known her personally for most of her life then you have a right to make comments about her. Funny that none of her close friends are doing that. Get a life. Work on yourselves instead of playing like your all in Jr. high again. Life is too short people.

My six year old cat deserves that award more than that broomstick does. Her money got her into college, she doesnt have the brains that God gave to a box of rocks.

I THOUGHT THIS DITZ WAS SICK. WAS SHE FAKING ILLNESS JUST TO GET BETTER TREATMENT IN JAIL? OR DID SHE MIRACULOUSLY RECOVER?

sgtmike132 10:36:06 AM Feb 10 2008

SO, IF IT WAS A SPOOF, DID THEY MAKE FUN OF HER IN ADDITION TO THE AWARD OR WERE THEY SUCKING UP TO HER?

The only thing that matters is her money, otherwise she would just be another drunken ****. She has no talent, hell she barely gives decent head.Her best movie is "house of wax" and then only because she gets a pipe through her head. There are far better rich girls out there. Julie Louise Dreyfuss comes to mind, she is worth as much as Hilton, but she has talent, and nice boobs too.
