Paris Hilton: Celebrity News

Paris Hilton landed herself a job. The heiress is set to guest star in the hit comedy series "My Name Is Earl" as herself.

Hilton, 27, will portray herself in Earl's (Jason Lee) dream sequence in the hour-long episode entitled "I Won't Die With A Little Help From My Friends." The episode will air on April 3.

The series' creator Greg Garcia jokes, "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. I can't wait to see what she does with the role, and I can't wait for America to discover her."

This is not Hilton's first small screen venture. She had starred on "The Simple Life" with best friend Nicole Richie and guest starred on "American Dreams," "The O.C.," "Veronica Mars," and "Las Vegas."
