LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

In what could be shaping up as the most unlikely award in the history of celebrity news, Paris Hilton will be honored by Harvard University.

The Harvard Lampoon, the world's oldest continuously published humor magazine, has reportedly named the paparazzi darling "Woman of the Year," according to United Press International.

Paris is reportedly scheduled to accept the award in front of a large Harvard student body in the middle of Harvard Square on February 6, according to Regent Releasing, who are behind her new comedy, "The Hottie and the Nottie." Her new film opens across the country on February 8.

Access reached to the Harvard Lampoon who could neither confirm or deny reports of Paris' award.
