Now I really got a laugh out of this one. Paris Hilton’s Hottie and the Nottie co-star Christine Lakin is likening the heiress to pinup and screen icon Marilyn Monroe!!

Christine has praised Paris for her professionalism and grounded attitude and insists the socialite radiates the same star quality as legendary actress Monroe.

She tells MTV.com:

“I think she is (the modern day Monroe). Paris is very iconic, obviously. Everybody knows her name, everybody knows her face, everyone knows her brand. Like Marilyn in The Seven Year Itch… “She had such a child-like quality, and was so funny and charming in her own way. I see a lot of that in Paris.”

Too funny.
