Paris Hilton Supposedly Didn’t Use Cue Cards for Her Presidential Campaign Video

The Associated Press says she memorized all her lines for the spoof. In fairness, though, they also say she’s 24 years old, which isn’t even remotely true. So take this with a grain of salt.

The 24-year-old heiress memorized her entire monologue, which included Hilton outlining her energy plan, in an online video spoof posted on Funny or Die, the comedy Web site’s content director said.

Co-founder Adam McKay came up with the concept for a mock ad starring Hilton, which has received over 3 million views since it was posted Tuesday.

“Adam thought it would be really funny to get Paris to respond to the John McCain ad that featured her,” Funny or Die content director Amy Rhodes told The Associated Press on Wednesday. “Adam contacted Paris directly, and she agreed to do it. He wrote the sketch. And she really, really loved it.”

  • Of course she used cue cards.
    Paris Hilton doesn’t know what a hybrid is… how can she be able to memorize it in a speech?

  • I think it’s fucking BRILLIANT that she did this. Not a huge Paris fan, but come on, that was just hilarious.

  • Ok – there are cue cards there.. you can see her eyes move slightly when she is talking about offshore drilling, but you can definitely tell that she practiced A lot. I think she did a great job.

  • well, despite the fact that she is such a skank and i can’t stand her…her little comeback was kinda funny. if she didn’t use cue cards, then she did a hella job memorizing!!!
    i wonder why the hilton’s don’t just take their money back…or at least stop supporting mccain openly…

  • just cuz shes a filthy whore doesnt mean you cant memorize some lines, i mean she HAS been in movies. .

  • wait, even if she did memorize her lines, how in the fudge is that remotely impressive? Her little speech was about two minutes long. Middle schoolers in forensics memorize shit about 20 times longer and they’re 12.

  • She didn’t read off or cue cards and is 26 just like I a tall dark and handsome and hung like a horse and live to shop and I am hetero. If you believe that then well, Paris makes sense to you, go lay down.

  • Nah, her lines were glued into the magazine she was “reading” :) It WAS pretty funny, and I can’t stand her either. I actually almost liked her for a second :)

  • Like so many I could never STAND Paris. But I loved this!! I actually like her a little bit now.

  • you know what, ribbet, i don’t blame that guy for being sarcastic about those tartlets. they have been a proverbial pain in the ass for the lapd for the past few years. not that i think the lapd is awesome or anything. but hey…i just get the fact that he’s sarcastic about it.

  • @jojo: i think bratton was right, but out of line for commenting publically. i also agree with him that we don’t need any more laws for the police to try and enforce. the ones currently on the books are adequate if the “stars – term used loosely” would behave with a modicum of common sense.

    more to the point, i appreciate people who can laugh at themselves
    and turn a seemingly negative situation to their advantage. i think lindsay could make a good career move by spoofing her situation. that’s all.

  • I LOVE this!!! McCain’s ad was ridiculous and I’m glad she stepped up to the plate to point it out. I really hope he sees this and realizes what a stupid move he made.

  • I try to stay away from all things PARIS, but this is hilarious… and she’s so stupid and vapid, she nailed in her trademark deadpan delivery she learned in the acting classes and displayed in that classic “House of Wax”. Yes, it was “hot”

  • As a proud resident of NYC.. I’m soooo glad that she’s an LA problem. I think I’d have to move to Miami if she lived here. I hate how she says the only thing she know is that she’s hot. You’re only allowed to say that about yourself if you’re obviously NOT hot as a confidence booster. Am I alone in thinking she’s got a huge jawline like those killer ants that are always on the discovery chanel?

  • She still cant act or deliver a line like a professional, and never heard of comic timing. She is just a poor little rich girl who comes to the party with nothing more than her grandfathers money. I thought this was potentially funny, but nothing she did made it that way. Pathetic.
