Hotel heiress Paris Hilton came to Cambridge on Wednesday just as first threatened, I mean reported last month, and lots of people hit the streets to get a glimpse of Her Royal Blondeness.

Tons of thanks to the tres cool Cambridge Chronicle for actually shooting footage of the non-event and uploading it to YouTube for hundreds to ogle. I share the video with you below — watch at your own risk.

Remember when everyone was talking about how 26-year-old hotel heiress Paris Hilton would be in town soon to accept her award as Harvard Lampoon’s Woman of the Year? Well, get excited — or not — because today is that day!

That’s all. I have nothing else to say except if you’re a Paris fan, try Harvard Square sometime in the daylight hours around lunch time. The Lampoon website advises interested parties to arrive early at the Lampoon Castle for the free public event since space is limited.

Oddly, no address is provided, but I’m nice and tracked it down: the juncture of Bow, Mount Auburn, and Plympton Streets, although many just say 18 Plympton Street or 44 Bow Street. You can’t miss the tubular, uniquely designed building right at the center with the eye-catching roof and striking purple and yellow door.

Otherwise, you could save yourself a trip until tomorrow and next Friday, when the real talent arrives in Cambridge, namely deserving Hasty Pudding honorees Charlize Theron and Christopher Walken, respectively. Now, their appearances will be worth the carfare and then some.
