Socialite Paris Hilton has announced she's running for president in a spoof internet video hitting back at Republican candidate John McCain.
The hotel heiress was furious when McCain's campaign used an image of her in an anti-Barack Obama ad without asking her permission.
As clips were shown of Paris, Britney Spears and Obama, the McCain ad said of his rival: ' the biggest celebrity in the world... but is he ready to lead?'Despite Paris's mother Kathy issuing an angry response to the ad, the socialite remained quiet... until now.
In a hilarious internet video, Paris, 27, addresses McCain, 71, as 'from the olden days' and a 'wrinkly white haired guy' and dismisses Obama as 'that other guy'.
In the short promo, produced by Brooke Shields' husband Chris Henchy, Paris announces her plan to run for president and paint the White House pink as she reads a glossy magazine on a sunlounger while dressed in a leopard-print swimsuit and stilleto heels.
Paris is introduced after a voiceover hailing McCain as 'the oldest celebrity in the world... like super-old, old enough to remember when dancing was a sin and beer was served in a bucket.... but is he ready to lead?'
While the socialite needs no introductions, she says: 'Hey America, I'm Paris Hilton and I'm a celebrity too. 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, that I'm like, totally ready to lead.'Before presenting her strategy for the current energy crisis, Paris stops to look through the magazine to 'find out where I can fly to get the best tan... oh Maui.'
After reeling off her surprising plan to solve the energy crisis, Paris challenges Obama and McCain, saying: 'I'll see you at the debates bitches.'
Before signing off, Paris says she hopes to appoint R&B singer Rihanna as her vice president.
In response, McCain's spokesperson Tucker Bounds said: 'It sounds like Paris Hilton supports John McCain's 'all of the above' approach to America's energy crisis - including both alternatives and drilling. Paris Hilton might not be as big a celebrity as Barack Obama, but she obviously has a better energy plan.'
Paris is no stranger to political controversy.
In 2004, despite appearing in ads for rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs Vote Or Die campaign, which encouraged young voters to register to vote, it was later revealed she didn't even vote.
