Paris Hilton to use her notoriety for good instead of evil

[twickster]

Well, once she’s done filming some cheesy movie.

I hear they have really lax DUI laws in Rwanda.

Right. And pigs will fly on the full moon.

She’ll become a passionate advocate for better prison conditions. Her motivation will probably be just to clean up her rep, although she might be sincere. In either case, this will not change most people’s opinion of her. However, to her admirers she [will] wind up almost as well-regarded as Princess Di.

You read it here first.

Just one little detail wrong. But the direction was right!

I’m just glad that Rwanda is finally going to get the help it needs. (I wonder if she’ll name her Pekingese Hutu and the new Chihuahua Tutsie or the other way around- either way I’m sure she’ll giggle while saying it.)

from the article linked to in the OP:

“I want to visit more countries where poverty and children’s issues are a big concern,” she says.

Why doesn’t she take 1/2 hour to drive the 25 miles from Beverly Hills to Compton and volunteer at a homeless shelter there?

Because Hotel Compton hasn’t been a hit movie.

Hey, malign Miss Hilton all you want, but that movie sounds awesome.

The horror rock opera, based on a stage musical, is set in a plague-ravaged future where people can purchase new organs on the installment plan from a corporation called Geneco. The catch is that if the payments stop, the organs are repossessed.

Because a 25 mile drive in LA traffic is much longer than a mere 1/2 hour?

[Arnold_Winkelried]

Good point JohnT!
But to be fair to Ms. Hilton, I will say that I think it’s commendable of her to use her celebutante status to try to bring attention to Rwanda rather than spending yet another week-end at LA nightclubs.

[asterion]

I was hoping she’d be going to Iraq to give everyone the same target for a while.

Pah! Hammond did that years ago.

Absolutely correct.

sigh Does anyone else remember when Paul Sorvino was a good actor? Sounds like he’s come upon hard times.

[Man_With_a_Cat]

She’s going to adopt a Rwandan orphan, just you wait and see.

@Mr Bus Guy

Only if it will fit in her Prada bag.

Next to the damn chihuahua.

Does she play the corporate drone without any internal organs to repossess?

Maybe she plays an organ.
