Paris Hilton Picks Up Harvard Lampoon Award

As promised, Paris Hilton made a rare visit to Massachusetts today, picking up her trophy for being named Harvard Lampoon’s Woman of the Year.

The heiress showed up to the ceremony about an hour later than scheduled, walking up the steps of the Lampoon “Castle” before telling gathered onlookers: “You guys rock. Harvard is hot!”

Always the comedian, one eyewitness tells, “At one point Hilton tried to dupe the crowd by telling them her friend Nicole Richie was with her, before saying ‘Just kidding.’”

More seriously, the 26-year-old told the 100 plus onlookers: “Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine standing here, standing on the steps of the Harvard Lampoon. It’s really exciting and I’ve had such a great time.”
