LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Comedian Ricky Gervais took to his blog on his Web site, writing an open letter President Barack Obama to congratulate him on his historic win — and also address a concern.

According to Ricky, a member of the President’s “flock has strayed.” He referred to the fact that Paris Hilton has bought a house a few miles away from him, in North London, and “is out and about integrating herself with the Great British public.”

“Mr. President. We are not stupid,” Ricky blogged. “This is clearly a retaliatory strike for Posh Spice moving to LA. I know it, and you know it, so let’s cut the ‘it’s a free country’ nonsense and come to some agreement.”

In his letter, Ricky suggested an exchange.

“This is how it would work,” he wrote ignoring grammar and punctuation rules. “We call them both and tell them that we’ve found a giant ‘paparazzi nest,’ in New York say. (half way home for both of them already).  At first they may be confused that they’d never heard of such a thing before, but the thought of that many photographers in one place will be irresistible.

“Once we get them there, while they are having their photos taken (we will have [to] hire a few guys with cameras to make it look good) we will swap their limos around. It’s fool proof,” he added.

He concluded the letter with, “Have your people call my people. They may have to call a few times as my people are useless to be honest.”
