Oh no she ditn't!!
Paris Hilton, Sally Kirkland, Nicole Richie
TMZ has obtained a photo of Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie on the set of "The Simple Life," with one-time Oscar nominee Sally Kirkland in full-on blackface and an afro! Cards and letters to Ms. Kirkland! As TMZ reported in May, Nicole talked Kirkland, who plays a drama teacher, into donning the controversial getup to portray Lionel Richie in an episode of the reality show. Paging Rev. Al!

While the racy episode airs July 29 -- the fallout starts now!

5. Who is Sally Kirkland? Seriously. Though if this starts a firestorm and Paris, caught on tape multiple times dropping the n-bomb, didn't, we'll know that she is officially the teflon ho'....

Posted at 5:19PM on Jul 20th 2007 by Nicole is a skank

9. Is this woman playing with a full deck? (Sally, I mean!) And we know Paris is not. Nicole, who is black, what are you thinking?? This is a completely inappropriate stunt. Taboo when it was done in the '30s and taboo now! Give me a break. You wanted to irritate people, you have!

10. If we can get away with "White Chicks" then she can get away with this. I'm over it. It's not black face it's makeup that makes her look like a different ethnicity.

BTW - I don't know one black person who actually respects Al Sharpton. That hair is his 1st strike.

12. This is just more TMZ non-stop coverage on Hilton.

God, TMZ, just how much are the Hiltons paying you??

13. Nicole Ritchie is an idiot. Especially considering that this costume get-up was her own idea. Way to go, Nicole. Poking fun of part of who you are. I guess that's what insecurity complexes can do for some people. Just to think, if it weren't for your adopted black father, you wouldn't have the money that you love to spend!

14. Nicole, Honey, why would you want a white woman to dress up like your adoptive father? Did the producers tell you to do this? Maybe you should practice saying no....

Posted at 5:24PM on Jul 20th 2007 by Oh my...

15. Nicole looks BEAT!!!!
