Just when you thought Paris Hilton hadn't invaded every single aspect of our culture, here comes John McCain. As news swirls about Hilton's inclusion in a McCain television ad equating Barack Obama with the red-carpet mainstay (Hilton's representative told MTV, "Miss Hilton was not asked, nor did she give permission for the use of her likeness in the ad and has no further comment"), the 27-year-old would like you to remember that she's not just a lightning rod, she's also an actress.
And by the way, you can put your knives away for her next performance. When "Repo! The Genetic Opera" comes out November 7, you just might have second thoughts about Hilton's critically savaged big-screen presence. Light years better than she's been in films like "House of Wax" and "The Hottie & the Nottie" (faint praise, we realize), Hilton stars as the plastic-surgery-addicted Amber Sweet.
MTV caught up with Hilton and her "Repo" co-star Alexa Vega (all grown up after three "Spy Kids" films) moments before they took the stage at Comic-Con in support of their new film, a rock opera from the makers of "Saw." MTV found a confident and relaxed Hilton, as excited about her forthcoming album and collaboration with boyfriend Benji Madden as her new film.
