Paris Hilton Headed for Rwanda

October 15th, 2007 // 24 Comments

Uh oh. I know I make lots of fun of Paris Hilton, but I’m thinking that perhaps she’s thinking Rwanda is a really obscure boutique in Beverly Hills, specializing in size 0 clothing. OK, but seriously, she actually is going to be traveling to Rwanda with a charity for children. The organization is called Playing for Good and basically has her visiting health care clinics and schools as cameras follow her on her trip. She told Newsweek that she’s excited, but also nervous.

“I’m scared, yeah. I’ve heard it’s really dangerous.”

“I’ve never been on a trip like this before.”

Yeah, Africa is no joke. Well, I guess at least she’s making an effort–I don’t mind giving her credit for that. Also, I do think she’s at least looking pretty demure and presentable in these pictures–I’m actually a fan of her new, short do. Is the tide turning on my opinion of Paris? Tune in next week to find out!

    I think that as caring citizens of the world, we should set up a “Keep Paris Hilton in Rwanda Foundation”.. Let me be the first to offer a donation of $1000. If we all donate as much as our income can allow, we can fund her life in Rwanda AND help the charity to which she subscribes. Anyone else with me?

    Disclaimer: Yes, I know, helping the children is not a matter which should be mocked, and I SHOULD be ashamed of myself, but I’m not. I DO donate to many good causes, so I’m entitled to a little snark here. C’mon folks, this may be our only chance to get rid our society of this nit wit. Donations please?

  2. So let me get this straight. This woman is a multi-millionaire, right? And an heiress of a huge hotel chain worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

    And she’s going on a trip to visit health clinics, to help people in Africa.

    Maybe she should take some of her money and BUILD some health clinics, if she’s so concerned about those people, instead of going on vacation and bringing camera crews along.

    Failing that (I’m always skeptical about these things in Africa for historical reasons) she could help rebuild New Orleans or something. This way she could help poor people AND sluts. It’d be a win-win for her.

    Ok, I hate her as much as the next person but that is a good organization and if she can raise awareness for it, all the better.

    I’ve been to Africa (Nigeria and Cameroun) and she should be scared. They are …. beyond words. When people say she should help people here (I’m Canadian so in this, I mean Canada and the US), we have the resources to help ourselves, they don’t. They need any bit of help they can get. If she does it, good for her.

    On the snark note, she’s going to need a lot of shots to get into Rwanda, will a doctor do it considering all her gross diseases?

    Persistant Cat: the only response I can come up with is: “I think it’s more important to immunize Rwanda against the diseases Paris may / does have”….. It would probably be more economically sound.

  5. I’d like to believe in a kinder, gentler Paris, but let’s get real. She’ll last all of two days in a third world country.

    this bitch is a fucking racist. her hypocritical ass needs to stay out of rwanda. she couldnt give a fuck about black people. lord knows what is going on in her mind when she meets black folk in Africa.

  7. teefa

    sorry i’m a little vehement about this issue. she better really not try and promote her fake ass materialistic, silver metallic louis bag when she’s taking pics with three year olds and elders who have had their limbs hacked off during the genocide.

  8. Wendy

    20 bucks says she couldn’t even find Rwanda on a map.

  9. MardiGras

    This is just a big publicity stunt/photo op. “The Simple Life: Rwanda.” How sad.

  10. Persistent Cat

    But, and this is a big but and I’m just trying to be an optimist. Only really stupid people like her and maybe if she can shed a light on something really stupid people know nothing about, maybe just maybe it would be a good thing.

    Of course she’ll look stupid and out of place, but God, she looks stupid and out of place in LA. And if she thinks she suffered in jail, wait till she gets there. NOTHING can prepare her for that. Wait till she sees the airport.

    JUST SEND MONEY, PARIS. THEY DON’T NEED YOUR VISIT, YOUR CAMERAS AND YOUR BULLSHIT.

  12. Matt

    I hope the Ebola gets her!

    … and yet.. It will be worse if she gets the Ebola:))

  13. aparna

    man you are so right. . .you are a good journalist. . .props to you!

  14. Rob

    Here’s our big chance. We should move the US somewhere else so she can’t find us to get home. Yeah, it’d be worth it.

  15. SweetXmas

    I hope they eat her!

  16. Ugh

    There are enough diseases over there so she shouldn’t be allowed to go and infest that country with more deadly ones.

  17. gerard Vandenberg

    You really believe she is hadding for rwanda? Well eat shit!! She wants the whole fucking world to believe she has changed. She simply wants us to believe she is a mental strong person: Did everybody see the david letterman story? And what about going to jail? Was it raining, no those are paris’s tears!!
    Another cause are those gigantic feet, weird nose and no TITS at all. She has a pretty big mouth on things but a TINY heart. A REAL CELEB HAS A BIG HEART OF GOLD!!

    Oh My God! Have you people ever heard of air conditioning? It’s so dusty here, clean all the dust up, it’s messing my hair. Reapply my foundation will you, I don’t want to look sweaty when I visit the clinic. They won’t talk to me will they? Oh God, what’ll I do if they try to touch me?! Where’s my cell phone?I’ll use that. Whaddaya mean there’s no network here??? What kind of country is this?

  19. T-Bone

    Yeah – it’s definitely going to be an eye-opener for her, but people, please…..let Paris spend her money. She has millions, so I say let her put it to good use. Let her empty out her pockets for a good cause. What do we care? It’s like Jolie and everyone else. When it comes to charity, I don’t care how much I don’t like them or how hypocritical they are. I just care that they’re using THEIR money for good.

  20. Nanina

    whoa she looks like marily manson in the first picture…

  21. Samantha Jones

    you forgot the rest of the quote where she appallingly says:

    “I’m scared, yeah. I’ve heard it’s really dangerous. I’ve never been on a trip like this before. I love having everything documented. It shows people what everyday life is like for me, how hard I work. There are a lot of misconceptions about me.”

    The whore ADMITS her charity trip is all for her own publicity…

    Will someone kill her already?

  22. Craptastic

    complete fucking loser

  23. zomg
