Everyone's talking about Paris Hilton new viral video, mocking John McCain's celebrity campaign ad with her own tongue-in-cheek campaign ad. The men behind the hilarious Hilton spoof ad are none other than producer Chris Henchy and writer/director Adam McKay. If those names sound familiar, it's because Chris is Brooke Shields' husband and a co-producer for "Entourage," and former "Saturday Night Live" writer Adam wrote and directed such Will Ferrell hits as 'Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby,' 'Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy' and 'Step Brothers,' in theaters now. Adam tells "The Insider" that he heard about McCain's ad featuring Paris and Britney Spears on the progressive radio station Air America, and says, "I thought, 'Oh my god, they have to respond; there has to be a rebuttal." A quick call to Paris' agent, and they were talking about the project three hours later. "I don't really know her, so I didn't know what to expect or how much of a sense of humor she had, but she right away got the joke and was completely down with it." "She came prepared," adds Chris, pointing out that they brought cue cards just in case, but to Paris' credit, she had memorized the entire script. McKay and Will Ferrell are also the creative minds behind the comedy video Web site FunnyorDie.com, which first created buzz on the Web with the Will Ferrell short "The Landlord," in which Will plays a beleaguered, behind-in-his-rent tenant who is harassed by his two-year-old landlord (played by Adam's daughter!).

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban sounded giddy with happiness as they called into an Australian morning radio show, "Kyle and Jackie O," and talked about the recent birth of their baby, Sunday Rose, and who she looks like. "We're just stoked, I mean, she's awesome," Keith crowed, while Nicole informed the radio hosts that the baby girl has a bit of "reddish" hair and that she looks like Keith. Keith, on the other hand, said the baby is "a bit of a mix [of Nicole and I], I reckon." Nicole said Sunday's birth on July 7 in Nashville, Tenn., went "surprisingly" smoothly and noted that the baby girl is feeding every three hours. The couple is visiting their native country so that Nicole can finish up her work on her upcoming epic film, 'Australia,' and also to introduce baby Sunday to three of her grandparents. Nicole pointed out, "My mom was there with me for the birth but my dad hasn't met her and then Keith's mom and dad are coming down." Both Nicole and Keith asked the Australian press to go easy on them during their visit, with Nicole saying, "Keith and I are both sort of just appealing to the press to just give us a little space so that we can walk around Sydney and show the baby our town."
