Paris Hilton Conquers Cambridge

…and gets called Woman of the Year by Harvardians, too!

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.

Paris Hilton: Woman of the Year

Paris in Cambridge in February

Wed, 06 Feb 2008 09:06:57 +0000

It’s Paris time!

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.

Harvard’s Getting a Hilton

Thu, 17 Jan 2008 04:59:13 +0000

Unbelievable. Of all the members of the female gender in the world, Harvard University’s gleefully juvenile, occasionally humorous magazine the Harvard Lampoon has decided to bestow the title of Woman of the Year upon hotel heiress Paris Hilton.

Why? I suspect it’s because the boys who make up the majority of the publication’s staff are itching to see the 26-year-old Internet porn headliner up close and in the (hopefully as close to naked as possible) flesh. Meanwhile, the girls at the magazine likely just want somebody really notorious on hand to help the magazine’s annual ceremony get as much press as possible.

The non-event will take place on February 6. That’s when the irrelevant recording person and aspiring actress of no consequence whatsoever will visit the allegedly hallowed halls of Harvard University and the adjacent Square to receive her dubious honor, the Hastiest Pudding of the Lampoon Award.

Britney Spears was so totally robbed, but at least there’s always next year for her.

P.S. Don’t you just love that picture? Somebody, please give Farrah her hair back!
