Paris Hilton To Play Mother Teresa in Upcoming Film

[ECH1969]

Socialite Paris Hilton has reportedly been asked to play celebrated humanitarian Mother Teresa in a movie biopic. Indian director T. Rajeevnath has contacted the hotel heiress about taking the lead role in his new film, which will chronicle the late nun's life. He tells MTV.co.uk, "My agents in California have contacted Paris Hilton." 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 analyzed thoroughly before she is chosen."

4. How fitting...

An overrated socialite tapped to play an overrated nun.

Wish I could say that I believed Mother Teresa's entire charity bit, but I've heard way too much about her.

6. She really loved Baby Doc....

Or, as Paris would say, "That's hot."

Paris Hilton may play movie Mother Teresa

Here's one you can file under: "you're pulling my plonker". An Indian film director is considering Paris Hilton for the role of saintly Mother Teresa, IANS news agency suggests.

Director T Rajeevnath admitted: "My agents in California have contacted Paris Hilton." He explained that the reason behind this extending of feelers in Hilton's direction was the multi-talented heiress's refusal to get her kit off for Playboy.

And I thought I have seen it all. That is a pretty weak.
