Paris Hilton REALLY to be cast as Mother Teresa?

Update 2: CNA picked up on the story.

Update: Apparently this Indian director is completely out of the loop. I found another interview claiming that he was impressed by Hilton's "high standards" in not consenting to pose naked for playboy magazine. As unbelievable as this in turn is, as far as I'm concerned, this story can't make its way into the dustbin fast enough.

Unbelievable:

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, India (AFP) - An Indian movie director said he hopes to persuade Paris Hilton to play the role of Nobel laureate and prospective Catholic Saint, Mother Teresa, in an upcoming film.

"Her features resemble Mother Teresa," director T. Rajeevnath told AFP from the southwestern coastal state of Kerala.

The filmmaker said Hilton is on his shortlist after a computer-generated image showed a close facial match between the hotel heiress and the Albanian-born nun.

You know what, Mr. Movie Director, how about ditching that computer-generated image software? I think one of the programmers forgot to carry a zero in one of his calculations and quite frankly, the effects are pretty obvious.
