Paris Hilton's Mother To Play Tom Cruise's Wife In a Comedy Movie!

Paris Hilton's mom is to play Tom Cruise's wife in a hilarious scene in Ben Stiller's new movie Tropic Thunder. Kathy Hilton has told friends she has a cameo in the upcoming summer comedy. A source tells In Touch magazine, "She filmed the scene last winter and didn't even tell her kids because she wanted to surprise them.

"She raved about Tom Cruise. She said he was so warm and friendly and made her very comfortable." News of Tom Cruise's surprise cameo in the film hit the headlines late last year when the movie superstar was spotted sporting a bald hairpiece and prosthetic belly on the set of the film, which stars Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr.

Paris Hilton's mom Kathy Hilton to guest on `Young and the Restless'

Paris Hilton's mom has a new gig. Kathy Hilton will play herself on the May 13 episode of the CBS soap opera "The Young and the Restless." She finds a magazine cover model for her friend Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman), but takes over the photo shoot, infuriating magazine staffers, in the episode taped Wednesday.

Hilton starred in her own NBC reality show in 2005, "I Want to Be a Hilton," in which contestants competed for a chance to live like a socialite for a year.

She made headlines last May at daughter Paris' probation-violation hearing by laughing when a city prosecutor argued that Paris deserved jail time.
