Paris Hilton Going To Rwanda As Humanitarian - PIC

Paris Hilton is serious about following up on her promise to do good things in the world after prison. Next on the good deed list: a trip to Rwanda.

Paris tells E! Online,

“I’ll be going in November, after I get back from filming my movie. There’s so much need in that area, and I feel like if I go, it will bring more attention to what people can do to help.”

“I want to visit more countries where poverty and children’s issues are a big concern,” she says. “I know there’s a lot of good I can do just by getting involved and bringing attention to these issues.”

Hilton reportedly will visit Rwanda at the invitation of Scott Lazerson, whose year-old Playing for Good charity assists celebrities and high-profile business personalities in getting involved with organizations that benefit those in need.

Maybe she can distribute Herpes medication and explain how to use it. I’m kidding, I’m kidding. I think it’s great whenever a celebrity uses their fame to help the less fortunate. I’m just not sure how Paris is planning on helping.

What others are saying:

The Superficial says, “It’s nice to see Paris Hilton acting like a somewhat informed, caring individual. That being said, if she goes all Angelina Jolie and starts popping out kids, I’m fleeing the Earth.”

dlisted says, “Rwanda replied with, ‘Um….Paris it’s cool. We got this! However, if you talk to Angelina Jolie….’ The day Paris steps foot in Rwanda to “help the people” is the day that it’s time for the world to end. Yeah, we lost. We give in.”

Mollygood says, “Of course, for much of her life, Paris Hilton has lived just north of plenty of areas of need, where, like Africa, ‘poverty and children’s issues are a big concern.’ She’s ignored them. Never mind that, I suppose, and pay attention to her keeping with the current Hollywood motto: Think promotionally, act in Africa.”

Celebrity Dirty Laundry says, “Who would have thunk she knew where Rwanda is! Her handlers obviously told her it is a place to build her new ‘charitable image’.”

A Socialite’s Life says, “She probably thinks it’s a restaurant. Dumbass. She hopes to call attention to the problems over there. Hopefully she’ll get caught in some kind of crossfire. Forget that, then she’ll be seen as a matyr. Can I go instead? We need to prevent that from ever happening.”
