Paris Hilton’s last picture was the god-awful National Lampoon’s Pledge This! The movie was so bad it came out straight to DVD and was still given a better release than it deserved. Admittedly, Hilton was only a small part of why the flick was so bad, but she was a part nonetheless.

Considering the treatment of that film, I find it absurd that the hotel heiress’s next picture is getting a wider release. Not just a wide release, but a Valentine’s Day release. Regent Releasing has announced a February 14th, 2008 release for The Hottie and the Nottie which features Hilton in a story that sounds like a spin-off of The Taming of the Shrew, as explained by The Hollywood Reporter:

The heiress and former inmate plays Cristabel Abbott, who's been eyed since the first grade by an obsessed Nate Cooper (Joel David Moore). To finally win her affections, Nate is forced to first find a boyfriend for her less-than-beautiful friend June Phigg (Christine Lakin).

Hearing about this, I can only wonder: when will Paris Hilton’s 15-minutes of fame be up? She’s already proven she’s a horrible actress and has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Now she’s going to appear in a film as an object of desire. I’m going to go ahead and guess that Nate there is going to discover she’s a shallow, horrible person, and that the less beautiful friend is the truly beautiful person. Sadly, a lesson Hilton herself has yet to learn.
