Check out new Carl's Jr. ad with Alix Earle. It has a surprise cameo
That's how Carl's Jr. describes its latest offering, the Queso Crunch Burger. It's an all-beef, charbroiled patty smothered in queso (Mexican-style cheese dip), and topped with pepper jack, pico de gallo and tortilla strips.
Also what the Tennessee based company is hoping consumers will find irresistible? Their new ad featuring TikTok star Alix Earle.
The Miami influencer – who lured revelers in a spot for Carl's Hangover Burger during Super Bowl breaks in February – is front and center again.
This go-around, though, Earle has some company. The fast food chain brought back Paris Hilton for an assist.
WARNING: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS SEXUAL CONTENT
The reunion comes nearly 20 years after Hilton did her almost too sexy for TV commercial. Back in her day, the hotel heiress was seen in a bathing suit and high heels slathering up a Bentley while basically making out with her lunch. Let's just say it wasn't a sight you'd see at El Car Wash.
Hilton (just her head and shoulders) appears briefly at the end of Earle's commercial, pulling up to the drive-through where Earle is trying to order from a googly-eyed server.
'K, so that's hot,' the 44-year-old mom of two says, reiterating the ad's play on words with 'queso.'
'Our guests seek out indulgent menu items and Carl's Jr. is known for our creative burgers and innovative flavors,' said Paz Romero, vice president of brand marketing at Carl's Jr. 'We're thrilled to once again partner with Alix Earle – who fans and followers know loves an indulgent treat. Her craving for burgers AND queso comes to life in this exciting culinary collab.'
When Earle, 24, posted the collab on her Instagram, the majority of her legions of followers heartily approved:
'Carl's Jr marketing team on POINT.'
'Epic!'
'I'm obsessed w this partnership …whoever is behind the creative…BRAVO.'
The burger is available through Sept. 2, at Carls Jr., located in Doral.

Kate Gosselin's Daughter Alexis, 21, Makes Rare Appearance in New TikTok, Weeks After Mom Joins Platform
The 50-year-old former TV personality has started to share more about her life as a nurse and dog mom on the appNEED TO KNOW Alexis Gosselin, the 21-year-old former star of Jon & Kate Plus 8, made a rare appearance in a video with her mom Kate on Aug. 9 Kate, 50, started posting to TikTok in July, sharing updates from her life as a nurse and dog mom The mom of eight recently celebrated her sextuplet's 21st birthday in May, posting a photo clinking glasses with kids Alexis, Aaden, Leah and JoelKate Gosselin is showing love for her daughter Alexis. Several weeks after the 50-year-old former TV personality opened her TikTok account, she shared a video packing her lunch for a work shift — which included a brief appearance by her 21-year-old daughter Alexis. In the clip, which Kate posted on Aug. 9, she is preparing a salad while Alexis walks through the kitchen on her way out of the house. 'Ride carefully, and text me when you get there, please,' the mom of eight tells her daughter, to which Alexis replies, 'Love you!' Alexis, the first of Kate's sextuplets to be born, has lived a fairly private life in the years following the end of her family's TV show. Kate's video was the latest in a series of clips she has been sharing to TikTok over the last few weeks after she first started her account in July. 'There's going to be a lot of dogs on it — and kids — but mostly dogs,' shared the Jon & Kate Plus 8 star about her new social media page in a video on July 28. 'I'm in my German Shepherd dog mom era. Is that how they say it? You know what I mean.' Kate shares eight children — 24-year-old twins Mady and Cara, as well as 21-year-old sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel — with ex-husband Jon Gosselin. The family skyrocketed into fame as the stars of TLC's Jon & Kate Plus 8, which was later named Kate Plus 8 after Kate filed for divorce from Jon in 2009. After Kate and Jon's divorce, their children Collin and Hannah chose to live with their father, while the rest remained with their mother. In May, to celebrate her sextuplets' 21st birthday, Kate shared a photo clinking glasses with Alexis, Aaden, Leah and Joel, while Collin and Hannah were notably absent. On the same day, Jon shared a video celebrating Hannah's birthday over cocktails with his daughter and his girlfriend Stephanie Lebo. In an Aug. 7 TikTok post on his own account, which he recently started, Collin opened up about his estrangement from his family in the years since their family's show concluded. "Born to be a team, us against the world," shared Collin in the post, which was set to Adele's track 'Hometown Glory.' 'Forced to do it alone, and wonder every day what our lives could've looked like.' 'Forced apart, pitted against each other,' added Collin in the caption, referencing his siblings. 'All the fame and money in the world, but what about kids being kids? I will always love them more than anything. The tears I shed behind closed doors, thinking about the memories we could've shared. I love you guys… ❤️' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. In a September 2024 interview with The Sun, Collin alleged that his mom confined him and 'isolated' him from his other seven siblings, adding that he was often the 'scapegoat' for his mother's problems. "My mother had a room built in our unfinished section of the storage basement," he alleged to the outlet. "She had a room put up with cameras in it, a tiny window in the corner and it was bolt-locked from the outside. It was like a containment room, literally, and it had a mattress on the floor and that's how I lived." Speaking to The Sun at the time, an attorney for Kate said he didn't believe that Kate had done anything to "intentionally harm" her son and that "she did what she did to protect herself and her family" from what he called "troubled behavior." In 2020, Collin also accused Jon of abuse, alleging that his father punched and kicked him. Jon was never charged with abuse, and in a statement to Entertainment Tonight, he denied the allegations.

Country singer Ella Langley cancels several shows after 'fighting sickness'
Ella Langley has been forced to cancel a handful of shows amid illness. The 26-year-old country singer, who broke out with her Riley Green duet "You Look Like You Love Me," shared the news with fans in an Aug. 11 Instagram post. "I'm so sad to be posting this," Langley wrote. "The past several weeks have been tough. I've been fighting sickness and feeling more run down than ever. After a lot of thought, I've made the hard decision to take a couple of weeks to rest and focus on my health — mind, body, and heart." She added: "I want to be fully present for all the moments ahead, and I know I can't do that without first taking care of myself." Ella Langley sweeps 2025 ACMs: Country breakout star wins big The ACM-winning singer stressed that people should listen to their bodies and hearts when they're "telling us to slow down." She ended her post with a Bible quote from Matthew 11:28: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Among Langley's canceled concerts is her Aug. 19 performance at The Listening Room Cafe in Nashville, Tennessee, as well as two shows opening for country star Morgan Wallen in Ohio and dates in Montana, Idaho and Colorado. Langley said she will be back on the road in September. Her first date next month is Madison, Illinois, on Sept. 7, which will be followed by two appearances on Wallen's I'm The Problem Tour in Canada and several more dates on Langley's The Still Hungover Tour. Langley's star has continued to rise after her hit "You Look Like You Love Me" earned her a slew of awards at the 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards, including new female artist of the year and single of the year. The Alabama native released her debut album "Hungover" in August 2024 after breaking into the music scene in 2021 when she went viral on TikTok for her track "If You Have To." As she's gained momentum, Langley has opened for artists including Wallen, Green, Jon Pardi, Cody Johnson and Dierks Bentley and embarked on two tours in promotion of "Hungover."
