Paris Hilton to become a superhero

Paris Hilton has revealed that she will star in an animated superhero TV show.

The socialite told San Diego CityBeat that she had devised her own crime-fighting character with Stan Lee, the Marvel Comics writer behind Spider-Man, X-Men and the Fantastic Four.

Hilton said: "I've created a superhero with Stan Lee, which is [based on] me, and we’re doing a cartoon right now with MTV."

Hilton recently starred in a spoof election campaign video online poking fun at Republican candidate John McCain. The clip has been viewed more than 5.5 million times on the website FunnyOrDie.com.
