Kathy Hilton has written a blog on the Huffington Post in response to the use of her Daughter, Paris Hilton, in an ad campaign for John McCain.

Kathy wrote, “I’ve been asked again and again for my response to the now infamous McCain celebrity ad. I actually have three responses. It is a complete waste of money John McCain’s contributors have donated to his campaign. 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 is a completely frivolous way to choose the next president of the United States.”

I don’t understand all the negativity towards this ad. Is it because he chose two of the most unstable celebrities as examples? Would the reaction have been different had he shown Angelina Jolie or Bono instead? I like the ad and I do not feel that my time and attention have been wasted. Unlike my tax dollars that were wasted on Paris Hilton’s jail time.

What do you think - did this ad help or hurt McCain’s campaign?

Kathy Hilton, Paris Hilton’s mom, will be doing a guest appearance on an episode of the Young and the Restless.  She will be playing the part of Kathy Hilton(herself) as a friend of Jack Abbott.  In the episode Kathy finds Jack a magazine cover model, but infuriates the magazine staff when she takes over the photo shoot.  The part should be pretty easy for Kathy to pull off since she is playing herself and the scene sounds like a typical day for a Hilton.  Always trying to steal the spotlight. The episode will air on May 13th.

On the Vegas Luxe Life blog, Robin Leach asked Paris Hilton’s parents, Rick and Kathy, what they thought about their daughter dating tattooed rocker Benji Madden.

Rick said:

“Benji is the perfect example of, ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover.  He is polite, well mannered, and he even calls me sir. We love him like family already. Benji doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke and is a healthy vegan!”

Kathy insisted:

“He’s changed her life—and I really think she’s genuinely in love for the first time. He’s so good to her and for her. We couldn’t be happier for them. This has honestly become the real thing.”

Leach reported:

They’ve been inseparable ever since and posed for their first ever photo together for Luxe Life a month later when they went to see The Beatles Love by Cirque du Soleil at The Mirage. Benji promised me then: “I will guard her with my life and make sure only the best and beautiful comes her way.”

Do you think that Paris and her parents are just overly eager to see her get hitched?  I mean how many times has she been engaged already?  I don’t think Paris and Benji’s relationship will last very much longer. They just don’t look right together.  A princess and a rocker really don’t mix.  But hey, I could be wrong…
