Socialite Paris Hilton wants to play Tinkerbell – the iconic Disney character, not her pet pooch of the same name.

Sources say that the Parisite is “desperate” to play the infamous fairy in Disney’s upcoming live-action version of Tinkerbell, which will see Peter Pan’s best friend transformed into a real girl.

“Paris had worked on her acting chops lately and showed some comedy prowess in her YouTube spoof of running for president,” one insider said. “Disney suits saw it and think she may be developing some comedic-actress potential.”

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Parisite gets the role as Tink. Disney seems to have a habit (of late) of collecting skanks and thrusting them centre-stage as role models for children everywhere.
