This season of Supernatural is built around a looming apocalypse.
It also features a guest spot by Paris Hilton this coming Thursday.
The two have to be related, right? Not so much.
“I don’t think we’re gassing up the motorcycle to jump the shark yet,” show creator Eric Kripke said of the ho-tel heiress’ guest spot, which finds her - Supernatural spoilers alert! - playing “a monster who takes the form of Paris Hilton.”
“It’s a fun, irreverent episode about modern celebrity. [Fans of the show] should withhold judgment until they see it.”
The idea to cast Paris originated in the Supernatural writers room, Kripke says. “We had a wish list of who would be the best spokesperson for a satirical monologue on modern celebrity and Paris Hilton was at the top of the list.”
“We never expected in a million years that she would do it, but I spoke to her and she got the joke immediately and signed on. I give her a lot of credit for being a hell of a good sport,” he said. “It speaks volumes about her sense of humor.”
We can’t believe we’re saying it, but it actually sounds fun to watch.
