NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. --

Paris Hilton was not spared from the heat of the hot topic-talking ladies of “The View” Thursday, when she stopped by the daytime chatfest to promote her new reality series, “Paris Hilton’s My New BFF.”

After a clip of Paris’ infamous political FunnyOrDie.com clip was shown, the discussion turned to how Paris’ jail time would affect her ability to vote in the upcoming election.

“You’re not going to be able to vote, are you?” Joy asked Paris pointedly. “I have a friend who was in the slammer, he can’t vote. Weren’t you in jail?”

“I can vote,” Paris responded, laughing comfortably.

The other ladies of “The View” tried to ease the situation, explaining to Joy that losing the right to vote only applied to people convicted of a felony.

“What was your thing? Yours was a misdemeanor or something?” Behar asked.

“No, it was driving with a suspended license,” Paris answered.

“You can still vote with that? " Joy quipped.

Putting an end to the awkwardness, Whoopi chimed in saying, “Yeah, you’re still an American, yeah.”
