Not a Joke: Paris Hilton Set to Star in Sofia Coppola Film, Continues to Pose Wearing a Bikini

Paris was snapped while on vacay in Bondi Beach, Australia wearing a cutout one piece, is this why Sofia Coppola cast her in a new film?

Oh, hello daddy issues, we'd wondered what socialite you'd attached yourself to!

Paris Hilton posed for the papz in Bondi Beach, Australia—must've been a slow day—in this blueberry-colored cutout suit, white frame shades, pulled down halter dress and gold Tory Burch sandals.

Of course, it wasn't all sunning and hoping someone would notice for the former reality star…

The 31-year-old was down under to help open the new Marquee Sydney night club. She even tweeted, "Just did a walk thru of the new @MarqueeSydney Night Club with @NoahTepperberg. The place is incredible! Perfect in every way! Love it!"

Stranger still is that Paris may actually be getting something of a career back, as she was just cast in Sofia Coppola's new film, Bling Ring. The movie is based on the true story of Paris and other celebs becoming the victim of a group of young people who robbed their Hollywood Hills homes. Paris will play herself, natch, and the film is set to release next year.

Maybe we'll be seeing a lot more of the heiress we love to hate?
