Paris Hilton Will Star On My Name Is Earl

Paris and Benji Madden are pretty attached at the hip these days, so it's no surprise they made a big show of holding hands after grabbing lunch in Beverly Hills yesterday. A new boy isn't the only good thing that's happening for Paris — she landed another acting gig. She'll be making a guest appearance on My Name is Earl on April 3. The executive producer joked, "When we wrote the role of Paris Hilton in the script, we weren't exactly sure who to go with for the role... But after an exhausting search we finally settled on a relatively unknown actress by the name of Paris Hilton." Hmm, "relatively unknown," more like guaranteed headline news. Maybe playing herself will be better than her not so stellar performance in The Hottie and the Nottie.
