Paris Hilton has been cast to portray a lesbian in for the upcoming West End musical, Prisoner Cell Block H: The Musical. The British production is based on the popular Australian soap opera of the same name.

According to tabloid insiders: “Everyone is very excited. There was a real buzz around the show when we thought we would get some well-known Aussie soap actors but Paris is a major coup.”

“The casting agents actually didn’t even think she’d try out but she swotted up with DVDs of the original show that she had flown in especially.”

“She absolutely loved it and thought it marvelously camp.”

“Paris has been trying to get a West End role for a while as she adores London.”

The tattle added: “Paris is keen to stretch herself as an actress so she’s happy to kiss another girl for the audience and actually thinks it’ll be fun to play a lesbian.”

“She’ll also get to stretch her vocal chords and she loves that.”
