Tina Fey has moved on to the spectacular new sitcom '30 Rock' but the former head writer of Saturday Night Live is still willing to dish about her former gig at SNL and specifically about socialite Paris Hilton.

Fey is unimpressed with the socialite and even revealed that Hilton asked the writers to make a skit in which she could play Jessica Simpson "because I hate her…she's fat.”

Us Weekly grabs excerpts of an interview that Tina did on Howard Stern’s Sirius Satellite radio show on Wednesday where she made all kinds of revelations but save her acid-like wit for Hilton.

When Stern quizzed Fey with the question: What is Paris Hilton like she didn't hold back.

Us reports she said, "She's a piece of sh-t. The people at SNL were like maybe she'll be fun, maybe she won't take herself so seriously. She takes herself so seriously! She's unbelievably dumb and so proud of how dumb she is. She looks like a tranny up close."

The transcript per Us:

HS: Was she bad on SNL, was she hard to deal with?

TF: She was awful. People never come in and say "I'm not doing that." So, this guy Jim Downey wrote a really really funny sketch, it was supposed to be Lorne Michaels just finding out that she had a sex tape and telling her she couldn't host the show because SNL has standards... So she was like "I'm not doing it!" and refused to come out of her dressing room. Also, you would walk down the hall and find what just looked like nasty wads of Barbie hair on the stairs... Her hair is like a Fraggle.

HS: Did she give you ideas for sketches?

TF: Yeah, she wanted to make fun of all the girls she hates. She was like "I want to play Jessica Simpson, I hate her." She would come in the room and say "you should do a show about Jessica Simpson because she's fat."

HS: What was the bet you guys had going about her?

TF: The cast had a bet if she would ask anyone on the cast anything about themselves, you know like how are you? where are you from? anything. I think Seth Meyers won because at one point, she asked him if Maya Rudolf was Italian.
