Names in the news

 

Paris for prez

Paris Hilton didn't need cue cards for her presidential campaign ad.

The heiress, 24, memorized her entire monologue, which included an outline of her energy plan, in an online video spoof posted on Funny or Die, the comedy Web site's content director said.

Co-founder Adam McKay came up with the concept for a mock ad starring Hilton, which has received more than 3 million views since it was posted Tuesday.

''Adam thought it would be really funny to get Paris to respond to the John McCain ad that featured her,'' Funny or Die Content Director Amy Rhodes said. ''Adam contacted Paris directly, and she agreed to do it. He wrote the sketch. And she really, really loved it.''

In the video, Hilton — clad in a leopard-print swimsuit and heels while lounging poolside — announces her candidacy for president and suggests an energy plan that combines elements of McCain's offshore oil-drilling plan and Barack Obama's incentives for new energy technology. She also suggests a running mate: R&B singer Rihanna.

''I want America to know that I'm, like, totally ready to lead,'' she says in the video.

Fishburne to 'CSI'?

Laurence Fishburne is in talks to succeed William Peterson as the star of CBS' veteran crime drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

CBS' search for a successor to Peterson has been shrouded in secrecy, but sources say Fishburne is being heavily courted.

Fishburne, an Oscar nominee for What's Love Got to Do With It and co-star in 21, has long been mentioned as one of the CSI producers' top choices for the role, along with John Malkovich and Kurt Russell.
