Paris Hilton's Brit gig

According to The Mirror, Paris Hilton has been hired by ITV to interview stars on the red carpet at the Brit Awards for around £100,000, broadcast on ITV2.

It seems an appropriate choice, frankly, given that the woman doesn't even realise that London is in the UK, according to a recent court testimony. Who better than professional idler Paris Hilton to be a roving reporter at this year's Brit awards? The fact that she's bound not to know at least a few of our meagre British celebrities doesn't seem to have put off ITV producers, who have, according to reports, hired the celebrity heiress to chat to stars as they go into the award ceremony at a cost of £100,000. Her roving will be broadcast on ITV2.

An inside source allegedly revealed to The Mirror: "It goes without saying that Paris won't know who everyone is, but there'll be someone next to her with a clipboard pointing out big names. Our biggest fear is that she'll have a Sam Fox moment when she meets the likes of The Kaiser Chiefs or James Blunt and asks them, 'So what do you do?' But Paris covered the MTV Awards in LA where she did a fantastic job and we're hoping she'll work her magic over here. She'll be there to gossip with celebs, talk to them about what they're wearing and how much they're looking forward to the night. It'll be a bit like the way Tara Palmer-Tomkinson does all the extra coverage for I'm A Celebrity."
