paris.jpgAcademics, eat your hearts out! All those years, all those study hours, all that tuition, and very little acknowledgement. Yet, Paris Hilton is all set to receive an award at Harvard University.

Harvard Lampoon, the university’s comedy magazine, is honoring the hotel heiress/socialite/singer/actress/merchandising machine/jailbird with its “Woman of the Year” award.  The “honor” just happens to coincide with her upcoming movie, “The Hottie & The Nottie,” due for nationwide release on Feb. 8. (see “merchandising machine” above).

Hilton is expected to be on the Harvard campus on Feb. 6 to accept the award and speak publicly to the university’s student body, according to a news release from Regent Releasing which is releasing the comedy about a “perfect 10 ” woman — yup, that’s Hilton.
