VID: Watch Paris Hilton's second White House bid

Parishiltonwhitehouse PARIS Hilton has shown yet again if there was a club for people who poke fun at her she would be President.

The 27-year-old has made another internet film in which she purports to be serious about running for President of the United States.

In the latest video, filmed by website www.funnyordie.com, she ropes in Hollywood actor Martin Sheen, who famously played President Jed Bartlett in the hit US political drama West Wing to offer some campaigning tips.

Up until now, the heiress has been more famous for staring in Internet sex tapes than comedy clips but the latest spoof on a satirical website has already been downloaded hundreds of times.

Hilton tells Sheen: “Nowadays sound bites not sound policy determines a country’s course I plan to bring a fake balanced approach to these real problems for example FoPo – Foreign Policy silly.”

She adds: “If you're looking for victory in Iraq haven't we already found it?

“Iraq has a democratic government that is asking for us to leave. It seems that we have done our job and we should bring our troops home safely.”

And in mock-Hilton-speak Sheen answers “Loves it”

Two guys 'console' each other on CNN

Sometimes a baby panda just isn't enough: you can't beat a good po-faced news video mess-up, and this footage on CNN of two men passionately making out and fondling each other behind a reporter delivering earnest reportage on the downfall of Lehman Brothers is just bloody hilarious.

Particularly love the studio's attempt to cover up the fact it was basically two blokes kissing afterwards (from Howard Stern's show) - if we were that upset we still wouldn't 'console' ourselves or 'make light out of a bad situation' by snogging Grant Mitchell's dodgy twin.

Vid: The Dark Knight trailer done by kids

A kids version of the Dark Knight trailer. This is JUST brilliant. How handy the director had four brothers going spare - and if you think Heath Ledger deserves an Oscar for his role as the Joker, the little kid in this deserves at least half.

Thanks to B3ta for pointing it out to all...

In a video posted on the web, Brooklyn-based get-up Creaky Boards claimed they were the true authors of the new Coldplay record’s title track Viva La Vida.

The clip on YouTube also alleged that fronmant Martin stole the tune when he saw them perform live at New York’s CMJ music festival in October 2007.

Coldplay, who treated 500 Radio 1 competition winners to a free gig at London’s Brixton Academy last night, denied the allegations, claiming they penned the track six months before the festival.

Vid: Drunk superhero in Hancock

Woo hoo! I've just got my tickets to The Incredible Hulk in a couple of weeks, but Ed Norton's tortured brow aside, the mainstream superhero backlash has begun. Except with me because I'm a comics geek.

Check out Will Smith getting freaky as a well-intentioned but unfortunately rubbish (and p*ssed* superhero in the very snappily sarcastic Hancock. And, thank God, Tony's nowhere to be found: just (woo!) Jason Bateman and (hoo!) Charlize Theron.
