LOS ANGELES, Jan. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Regent Releasing is pleased to announce that Harvard University's Harvard Lampoon, the university's noted comedy magazine, will be honoring Paris Hilton, the star of Regent Releasing's upcoming release "The HOTTIE & the NOTTIE," with the Harvard Lampoon "Woman of the Year" award. Founded in 1876, the Harvard Lampoon is the world's oldest continually published humor magazine. The Lampoon has many accomplished alumni including Conan O'Brien, John Updike and William Randolph Hearst and is responsible for the creation of the National Lampoon. Hilton will be on the Harvard campus on February 6, 2008, to accept the award and speak publicly to the university's student body.

Paris Hilton will receive the Harvard Lampoon "Woman of the Year" award accompanied by a large public ceremony in the middle of Harvard Square. The entire Harvard undergraduate community will be invited to attend this ceremony at which Ms. Hilton is expected to give an acceptance speech.

Paris Hilton is doing a multi-city tour to promote the release of "The HOTTIE & the NOTTIE," which opens in theaters nationwide on February 8th to coincide with Valentine's Day. The tour includes Park City, Dallas, Philadelphia, New York and Los Angeles. The tour begins in Park City on January 20th and concludes with the Harvard visit on February 6th. "The HOTTIE & the NOTTIE" world premiere will be held at the historic Cinerama Dome in Los Angeles on February 4th.

Set for release nationwide on February 8th, "The HOTTIE & the NOTTIE" is a comedy with heart centering on a "perfect 10" woman, Cristabel Abbott (Hilton); her less fortunate best friend, June Phigg (Lakin); and the guy who gets in the middle. Having pined for Cristabel since the first grade, twentysomething Nate Cooper (Moore) must find a boyfriend for the less-than- beautiful June before he will have a shot at landing the girl of his dreams.
