On Wednesday, former hotel heiress Paris Hilton was officially honored with the "Woman of the Year" award by Harvard University’s satirical Lampoon magazine.
The Hollywood socialite, whose movie "The Hottie & the Nottie" premiered Monday night, arrived an hour late to accept her prize in person, a large, oversized trophy, from the staff of Harvard’s humor magazine, on the steps of the "Lampoon Castle" in Cambridge, Mass., Reuters reported.
"Thank you all for coming. An international icon meets countless people every day." Paris jokingly began her acceptance speech.
"Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine standing here," she then told a crowd of about 100 students. "It's really exciting and I've had such a great time."
"You guys are so hot," Paris, who is the first to receive the honor, added. "Harvard's hot."
The Lampoon award is a spoof of the annual honors given by Harvard's Hasty Pudding Theatricals, but "better than or equal to Woman of the Year," Lampoon member Hayes Davenport said.
