In The News: Model/actress/socialite Paris Hilton has struck back at presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain for his TV ad that compared Democratic rival Barack Obama with celebrities like her (and Britney Spears) as unfit to lead.

The heiress released a Web video ad of her own Tuesday (August 5, 2008), declaring her entry into the Race for the White House.

"Hey America, I'm Paris Hilton and I'm a celebrity too," Hilton says. "Only I'm not from the olden days and I'm not promising change like that other guy. I'm just hot.

"But then that wrinkly white-haired guy used me in his campaign ad, which I guess means I'm running for president. So thanks for the endorsement white-haired dude, and I want America to know I'm, like, totally ready to lead."
Hilton, dressed in a skimpy leopard-print bathing costume, goes on to propose an energy policy, suggesting that she plans to combine elements from McCain and Obama.

"We can do limited offshore drilling with strict environmental oversight while creating tax incentives to get Detroit making hybrid and electric cars...energy crisis solved, I'll see you at the debates, bitches!"

The McCain campaign chuckled, but seemed impressed, despite the slams on the candidate's age.

?It sounds like Paris Hilton supports John McCain?s ?all of the above? approach to America?s energy crisis - -including both alternatives and drilling. In reality, Paris Hilton may have a more substantive energy policy than Barack Obama,? said spokesman Tucker Bounds.

Hilton then signs off by declaring that she is now mulling her choices for a running mate. "I'm thinking Rihanna," she said, referring to the singer-songwriter.

"I'll see you at the White House," Hilton says. "Oh, and I might paint it pink. Bye!"

The Hilton video was posted on the comedy website Funny or Die, after Hilton?s publicist and her mother both criticized McCain?s campaign for using her image in his ad. Kathy Hilton, who with her husband, Beverly Hills real estate magnate and Hilton Hotels heir Richard Hilton, have donated $4,600 dollars to the McCain campaign.

"It is a complete waste of the money John McCain's contributors have donated to his campaign,? Kathy Hilton said in a statement issued August 3. "It is a complete waste of the country's time and attention at the very moment when millions of people are losing their homes and their jobs. And it a completely frivolous way to choose the next President of the United States."Biography: Paris Whitney Hilton was born February 17, 1981 , in New York City . Thanks to her great-grandfather Conrad Hilton, founder of the Hilton hotel chain, Paris is the shared heir to a family fortune estimated at $300 million. The daughter of Rick and Kathy Hilton, Paris grew up alongside her younger sister, Nicky, and two brothers, Baron and Conrad, in their homes in Manhattan's Waldorf-Astoria, Beverly Hills and The Hamptons.

After graduating from high school, Paris pursued a modeling career, appearing in such national publications as GQ and Vanity Fair and on runways for various New York designers. She soon became a well-known jetsetter, courting media attention for her outrageous lifestyle. Whether it was a short-lived romance with Leonardo DiCaprio or boxer Oscar de la Hoya or a rude remark in a public bathroom during a night of partying with her sister, Paris frequently received bad press for her socialite antics. A notorious sex tape starring Paris and her ex Rick Solomon, which was released on the Internet, didn?t help matters.

In 2001, perhaps in an effort to clean up her reputation, she turned from modeling to acting, appearing in Ben Stiller?s spoof Zoolander, an adaptation of the Dr. Seuss classic The Cat in the Hat and 2004?s Raising Helen with Kate Hudson. But it was her turn as herself in the 2003 Fox reality show The Simple Life that earned her the most publicity. Starring Paris and her best gal pal Nicole Richie (daughter of legendary pop icon Lionel), the show followed the girls on their misadventures while trying to get along on a working farm. The show was such a hit, that Fox followed it up the next year with The Simple Life 2: Road Trip.In May 2005, Hilton announced her engagement to Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis. The couple called off the nutpials in October. She has also been romantically linked to Greek shipping fortune heir Stavros Niarchos III and actor Josh Henderson. In May 2008, she announced her engagement to Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden.

The latest installment of Hilton's reality series, The Simple Life Goes to Camp, premiered in 2007. But her return to television was overshadowed by her legal problems. Arrested in September 2006 for driving under the influence, she had received probation for that offense. But she then was caught in February 2007 driving with a suspended license and charged with violating her terms of her probation. In May she was sentenced to 45 days in jail. This was later reduced to 23 days. Hilton reported to the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California, on the night of June 3, right after she appeared at the 2007 MTV Movie Awards.

After serving only three full days in prison, Hilton was released early in the morning on June 7. She was reportedly released early for unspecified health reasons and ordered to complete her sentence by spending 40 days in home confinement. Under fire for the perception that Hilton was receiving special preferences due to her celebrity status, a judge ordered her back to jail.

Upon hearing the sentence, Hilton shouted ?It?s not right!? and started screaming, requesting her mother who was present in the courtroom. Concern about Hilton?s condition led her to being moved to the medical wing of the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles. She was then moved back to the Century Regional Detention Facility on June 13.

Two days after her release on June 26, Hilton told talk show host Larry King that the jail?s minister, Marty Angelo, inspired her to make a ?new beginning."
