Paris Hilton seems like she’s pretty proud of the role she played in the election. Her Paris for President videos were pretty funny, though I think I’d prefer Bush’s Scottie dogs to Tinkerbell running around the White House lawn. E! has a story about how Paris thinks her web spoofs really helped mobilize people to get out the vote.

With record turnout expected in tomorrow’s presidential election, Paris Hilton is ready to accept a big thank-you from the winner. Speaking at the press day for her new organ-harvesting musical horror flick Repo! The Genetic Opera, Hilton told E! News that her Paris for President videos totally helped herd young folks in the booths.

“It’s exciting to be involved in the biggest election in history,” she said. “It encourages a lot of young voters to speak their voice and to vote.” Not only did she help mobilize the masses, but she managed to get, like, all kinds of important stuff and things into their heads.

“I was talking about issues and actually making sense but still playing with my image at the same time,” she explained. “Doing it in a ditzy way, but actually saying things I think can really help it along.”

Any advice, then, for tomorrow’s winner? “Whoever becomes the next president has a lot on their hands,” she said. “It’s going to be hard for anyone.” Gee, thanks a lot, Paris.

I think Paris’ comments were just vague and E! framed them in a self-centered light. I would never want to accuse Paris Hilton of being anything less than totally self-absorbed, but she didn’t say anything that amounted to, “People are voting because of me.” She just said she was “involved” and that’s true. She wasn’t involved in an integral way, but she generated a little bit of buzz.

In other Paris news, she’s told the Daily Beast that she won’t ever get plastic surgery. Which explains why she hasn’t fixed her infamous wonky eye or the often mocked nose. Her reasoning is rather infantile and nonsensical. She says it makes people look older.

While Paris Hilton might play a plastic-surgery craving heiress in her new movie Repo: The Genetic Opera, the real-life celebutante says she’s never gone under the knife.

“I love being all-natural,” Paris tells The Daily Beast, adding that those who choose plastic surgery don’t necessarily improve their looks. “They make themselves look older. A lot of girls who are 21, they have a lot of work done and they look 40. It ages you. And you’re going to have to maintain it. By the time you’re 30, you’re going to look like you’re 50. By the time you’re 50, your face is going to fall off.”

I guess Paris isn’t technically wrong: bad plastic surgery might make a person look older. But I’m not sure what she’s talking about in terms of plastic surgery generally aging a person. I don’t think it always makes someone look better, but I’ve never noticed it making a person look older. Sure if you go all Jocelyn Wildenstein you’re not going to look younger… or like a human being anymore… but it seems like Paris is talking about regular old cosmetic surgery – nothing exotic.

At least Paris is honest. A lot of celebs say stuff like this even though they have clearly had stuff done. Paris has a small chest (by Hollywood standards) that she manages to work really well with a good bra; she’s got the funny eye that she hasn’t fixed, and she has feet as big as snowshoes. Not that there’s any way to fix that, I just like pointing out her huge feet. Clearly she’s very enamored with both her beauty and her political influence, so it sounds like she’s happy maintaining the status quo.

Here’s Paris outside the Ed Sullivan Theatre for the ‘Late Show With David Letterman’ last night. She entered in the black dress and left in the blue one. Images thanks to WENN.
