Paris Hilton to Play Mother Teresa?

No, I’m not making this one up. An idiot film director, impressed because Paris turned down a nude photoshoot with Playboy, thinks she has what it takes to be Mother Teresa. From AnnaNova here:

An Indian film director wants to cast Paris Hilton as the star of a new film about Mother Teresa.

Award-winning director T Rajeevnath told IANS: “My agents in California have contacted Paris Hilton.”

The director said he was impressed when he heard the hotel heiress had refused to strip for Playboy magazine.

“Although there are several actresses willing to play the role of Mother Teresa, the most widely respected and loved person, the history of the actress who is finally chosen for the role would have to be analysed thoroughly before she is chosen,” he added.

The English-language film will be mostly shot in West Bengal and overseas.

Heh. Hasn’t Rajeevnath seen Paris’ glowing green-eyed acting debut? I don’t think she turned down a shoot with Playboy because of any moral stand. After all, she has been filmed doing much worse.

The Register UK says:

She did, though, give a far more convinving technical performance in One Night in Paris, albeit displaying the sort of skills which we very much doubt will be required to play Mother Teresa. As one critic put it: “In this 37-minute shagfest Hilton literally sucks. And so does her acting.”

It would be the worst thing in a Nun’s habit since Whoopie Goldberg.
