OH NO! Watch out Rwanda, Paris Hilton is coming to visit

The Material Girl went to Malawi, and Angela Jollie went to Botswana, and now it’s Rwanda’s turn to be the focus of a Hollywood celebrity wanting to play Miss Bountiful.
Yup, Paris Hilton plans to visit Rwanda.
Hilton says it’s all part of her new, postjail commitment to use her celebrity to bring the spotlight to what she feels are important causes around the world….
“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,” Hilton said of the region.
Making the Dose remark:
Having Exhausted North America’s Patience,
Paris Moves on to New Continent
Yup. That about says it all.
I guess I shouldn’t be cynical about a girl trying to get some good publicity after her DUI conviction. But you don’t “use” human beings as a prop for your goodness: charity should come from a loving heart with the wish to help, not a tour complete with a publicity expert.
Well, I guess at least she hasn’t adopted a “trophy baby” like other celebrities.
Of course, if she really wanted to help, she might try actually working.
I can see it now: The Simple LIfe meets Worlds Apart.
I can’t wait to see her tilling sweetpotatoes and carrying a waterjug on her head…

Beam me up, Scotty!
Not to wish any harm on anyone, but don't you just wish she had visited Rwanda years ago, while the big genocide was in full blow??? Someone could have clubbed her to death and we could all have watched it on TV...
I wonder if she is going to try and convert the remaining small mountain gorilla population to Brazilian waxes???

She is planning a starvation diet, instead of throwing up her food...

One can only hope that relief agencies are prepared for the outbreak of STD's about to hit this African nation!

Great! Now we'll have a bunch of Rwandans dyeing their hair blonde and saying "That's Hot" everywhere they go. I'm sure the STD rate is going to skyrocket now. |

That article is so much BS! I think Paris has changed her lifestyle to some degree & maybe this will help some of those shitted-upon Africans. She'll do more for them than the UN ever fucking did. |
