One Night In Paris. In West Bengal.

Posted on by

Maybe it’s because I live in Los Angeles. But I’ll be the first to admit it. I love celebrity gossip. Imagine my surprise when I heard this report on the news this morning.

Mother Teresa. Totally see the resemblance.

Paris Hilton is on the short-list to play beatified nun Mother Teresa in an upcoming bipoic of the late Nobel Peace Prize winner. Film director T. Rajeevnath said his idea to cast the 25-year-old celebutante after a computer-generated image showed a close facial match between “The Simple Life” simpleton and the Albanian-born holy woman. “(Hilton’s) features resemble Mother Teresa’s,” Rajeevnath said.

Waaaaait a second. Didn’t we just play the ‘who’s famous face matches mine’ game using a computer-generated image facial matching website here on Sepia Mutiny only a few months back?

I’ll just let you know that I ended up at a verrry interesting website, which scanned a picture I uploaded before telling me which celebrity in its database I resembled. See whom YOU don’t look like by going to MyHeritage.com y’self. [link]

I mean, Rajeevnath is Indian. Maybe he reads Sepia Mutiny and maybe, just maybe, that is what compelled him to pick Paris Hilton. That, and this:

But it was when the director read an article in which Hilton said she had turned down the chance to pose nude for Playboy maggie that he believed he had found the woman to emulate Mother Teresa’s good works. Shooting in several countries, including West Bengal will begin early next year.

Proceeds from the film will benefit the Missionaries of Charity.

Missionaries. Paris Hilton. Hmm… I wonder how familiar she is with that line of work…

  1. After all, what is Mother Teresa doing hanging out with a dictator’s wife in Haiti and accepting over a million dollars from Charles Keating? The most riveting material in the book is contained in two letters: one from Mother Teresa to Judge Lance Ito

    judge lance ito and charles keating…. oooops…wrong one…..oh vell, a girl can dream!

  2. There is no better choice than Hilton to play Mother Teresa………maybe this will be the big crossover hit Indian cinema has been waiting for :)))

  3. “Paris doesn’t do Missionary?… well that just blows!!”

    And it sucks too!!

  4. would you cast micheal jackson as ghandi?

    Shh Pattie…another director might notice the ‘resemblance’ and might do what this fellow is doing with Mother Theresa and Paris Hilton. 😉

  5. If some one says that Paris Hilton is a terrible actor, it is a good argument.

    But if someone says that she is just a rich trash (apologies to offended sensibilities), then I think it has been established in previous threads that we can not judge anyone and hence trash or no trash Paris should be Mother Teresa 😉

  8. you guys ever read missionary position by chris hitchens? even angels have to take a shit

    Razib, heres another dude who has exposed the hype behind the Mother Teresa phenomenon… for all that she has done to sell Calcutta as the most wretched place on earth, maybe Paris can help improve the image… on second thoughts, maybe not.

    then I think it has been established in previous threads that we can not judge anyone and hence

    NO WAY, man. where the fun without judging? 😉

  9. Oh come off it guys – did she or did she not help 1000s of people? Did she or did she not at least make their lives a little bit better? It’s much more than you, I or Mr Christopher Hitchens could ever do in our lifetimes.

  10. for all that she has done to sell Calcutta as the most wretched place on earth,

    To get foreign donations, of course she had to do that. Who in there right mind would donate money to kids living in a delightful, prosperous, romantic and glittering metropolis?

  11. Shh Pattie…another director might notice the ‘resemblance’ and might do what this fellow is doing with Mother Theresa and Paris Hilton. 😉

    ouch, good point. lol. i don’t want to blamed for giving bad ideas. hahahha!

    Oh come off it guys – did she or did she not help 1000s of people? Did she or did she not at least make their lives a little bit better? It’s much more than you, I or Mr Christopher Hitchens could ever do in our lifetimes.

    and much more than paris has done for anything. besides….at leats it’s proven that she HAS done good. i dunno how much i can believe that chris guy without enough proof.

    But if someone says that she is just a rich trash (apologies to offended sensibilities), then I think it has been established in previous threads that we can not judge anyone and hence trash or no trash Paris should be Mother Teresa 😉

    uumm…..let’s go back to the acting talent portion for a moment. do you seriously want a mother teresa who goes about going ‘duh..like i’m uhhh sooooooooo cool, i um…umm…’. that would not make for a good movie, unless she was portraying courtney love or soemthing, NOT mother teresa.

    That was tongue in cheek.

    It referred to the previous thread on Girls,Girls,Girls and it was about the attitude “Since X is free to do anything Don’t Judge X”

  16. bengali @ #59 and 60,

    The ends do not always justify the means, imo. also, other charitable organizations do manage to get money and do their work without all this unnecessary baggage. while appreciating the work done by Mother Teresa, i do take offence at some of her methods. Anyways, back to Paris…

  17. “Missionaries. Paris Hilton. HmmÂ… I wonder how familiar she is with that line of workÂ…”

    I guess she is very familiar with playing this kind of missionary. Experience in one industry can always help in the other.

    “Salil said: ‘I have it on good authority (like, this video playing here on my laptop) that Paris never does missionary.’ ” This is good.

  18. Paris on the rumors: “I heard that. I don’t think we look alike.” “I love Mother Teresa”

    just posted to the news section.
