Ellen DeGeneres Hopes Paris Will Change Her Ways

Ellen DeGeneres hopes Paris Hilton changes her ways when the partying socialite gets out of jail.

Hilton is expected to be released on June 25 after serving about 23 days of a 45-day sentence for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

The hotel heiress told Barbara Walters in a recent jailhouse phone call that she wants to stop acting dumb because “that act is no longer cute.”

“She’s not getting anywhere doing that,” DeGeneres said backstage Friday night at the Daytime Emmy Awards.

“If that really is an act, if she really was playing dumb, than what does that say about our society that we’re celebrating someone who was successful because they’re not smart? I just think it’s a bad sign and she shouldn’t contribute to that. It’s just amazing if that was an act the whole time,” she added.

DeGeneres said she would be willing to have Hilton as a guest on her daytime talk show and tell her the same thing.

“Hopefully, she means what she says,” DeGeneres said. “I hope she is reading good books and I hope she comes out and changes her life a little because she needed to.”
