Comic-Con: Paris Hilton Heats Up the Crowd

Paris Hilton hit Comic-Con.
Yes, complete with a full entourage and scrum of backward-walking photographers.
So why is the Hollywood socialite at a comic convention? Read on...
She came to support her latest film, Repo: The Genetic Opera, a bizarro hybrid of Blade Runner and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
What attracted her to playing the daughter of an organ-removal specialist?
Director Darren Lynn Bousman was the lure. "I'm a huge fan of the Saw movies, so I immediately wanted to sign on," Paris told the crowd. "Most people give me the role of the stereotype of what they think I am."
Bousman's initial response? "I was like, whatever, no way." But when he auditioned her, he claims, "she walks in the room and starts using words that I don't know!"
New words are great, but you can probably guess what she thought of the whole Comic-Con experience: "This is hot!"
