Paris Hilton will be monstrous in her latest TV role – as herself.

The socialite/actress will appear on the television series Supernatural this week as "a monster who takes the form of Paris Hilton," according to show creator Eric Kripke, who admits he was surprised when Hilton agreed to the odd cameo.

He tells website PerezHilton.com, "We never expected in a million years that she would do it, but I spoke to her and she got the joke immediately and signed on quickly… I give her a lot of credit for being a hell of a good sport."
