Rumor Willis is to be Miss Golden Globe 2008. Now, I must confess to never having heard of this title, but I can tell you there is no pageant involved. Rather, you need to be the spawn of at least one famous parent. Son or daughter is okay, and I guess not married, given the title is Miss if you’re female. Seems to be a prize which you don’t have to do very much to actually win, just be born, but if you aren’t born to the right parents you are out of the draw.

So what does Rumor’s participation in the event involve? Handing out those pointy golden trophies to the winners, and looking glamorous while doing it of course.

Maintaining the tradition of having a child of Hollywood royalty in charge of handing out the prize at hand, Rumer Willis was named Miss Golden Globe 2008 on Wednesday by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

Willis, the 19-year-old daughter of two-time Globe nominee Demi Moore and four-time nominee – and winner for the TV series Moonlighting – Bruce Willis, follows in the footsteps of such illustrious names as 2007’s presenter Lorraine Nicholson (Jack’s pride), 2004’s Lily Costner (Kevin’s kid) and 1995’s John Clark Gable (son of Clark).

Rumer’s previous red carpet appearances may have only been due her famous parents, while this time she’s got an actual job at an awards ceremony… as a result of her famous parents.

Sadly for Rumor, who has her own developing acting career, she’s obviously not going to be nominated for any awards this year if she’s Miss Golden Globe.

Here’s a list of the previous Golden Globe trophy presenters, including a young Melanie Griffith.

Globes will be broadcast 13th January, and Steven Spielberg will be awarded the Cecil B. DeMille Award for his “outstanding contribution to entertainment”.
