Sometimes words escape me. Hard to believe, I know. But today I was shocked beyond all belief. There was a news story that was less credible than the TomKat baby bump; more disturbing than Lohan's public ass-slipage and more hilarious than the Scientology South Park episode.
Believe it or not, Paris Hilton is being considered to play MOTHER TERESA in a film version of her life. I shit you not. People magazine reported this story, perhaps as a joke aimed at us here at CR HQ, but worryingly, it may be true.
Accordind to the article in question,
Film director T. Rajeevnath, who is based in Thiruvananthapuram, India, says Hilton is on his short list to play Mother Teresa in a biopic he's planning about the Nobel Peace Prize winner, who worked among Calcutta's poor with the Missionaries of Charity.
"(Hilton's) features resemble Mother Teresa's," Rajeevnath – whose films include Janani (Mother), an award-winner in India about nuns caring for an abandoned infant – told Agence France-Presse yesterday."A meeting with Paris Hilton is scheduled for the end of April," he said.
Rajeevnath said he stumbled upon the casting idea when he saw a computer-generated image showing what he considers a close facial resemblance between the 25-year-old hotel heiress and the Albanian-born nun, who died in 1997.
The only logical response to this is WTF? Mother Teresa is a SAINT. Literally a Saint. Paris Hilton is an amatuer porn star (and not a very good one at that), Kabbalah wannabe, socialite whore with herpes. HERPES.
If this film goes ahead, it may even rival "Snakes On A Plane" for the title of Most Anticipated Crappy Movie of All Time.
GAHHH, i'd give a year of my life to never see this skeeze ever again.
