Report: Paris Hilton To Visit Rwanda

(CBS)  Paris Hilton is planning a very special trip -- not to Vegas or the south of France, but to one of the poorest places on the planet: Rwanda, where just over a decade ago, the Hutu-led military killed 800,000 Tutsis.

Paris Hilton plans to visit Rwanda this November to raise awareness about child poverty. The service trip comes as part of Paris' image makeover following her brief stint in jail.

"The Simple Life" star told 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."

Paris' Rwanda trip will be one of many service trips around the world. "I want to visit more countries where poverty and children's issues are a big concern," Hilton said. "I know there's a lot of good I can do just by getting involved and bringing attention to these issues."

And that is not all from the new altruistic Paris. The socialite said she plans to make her brand new Beverly Hills home more "green friendly." "I just bought the house and haven't been able to work on it yet," Paris Hilton, 26, informed E! Online. "But I intend to."

The socialite is currently in Toronto filming the horror flick "Repo! The Genetic Opera" from the director of the "Saw" films. "Repo!" takes place in the not-too-distant future, where an organ failure epidemic forces mankind to purchase internal parts through credit. Failure to pay for the expensive parts brings a visit from the wicked repo men.

Gurl, don''t waste your time.

Africa is hopeless. They''re clueless. Always something going on & it''s usually bad. You name it. They got it. Look at what Mugabe is doing to Zimbabwe.

Last time I checked Mugabe wasn''t white.

Paris might be a blonde and a wealthy bimbo, however if she could make a difference in helping Rwanda to recieve the help, the money, that is needed then, It is about the people of Rwanda, PEOPLE, These poor starved people who don''t deserve to be treated so inhumanely. We can all make a difference no matter who we are or what our status might be. DARFUR ,RWANDA they need us. even if you were to light a candle in their name and make a wish, . thanks

LOL

You can''t be serious?

WHY DO YOU THINK THAT AMERICANS ARE SO FAT?

It''s called GREED, GLUTTONY! OK, Bizzzzzz?

And if you STEAL A LOT (like stealing a lot of Iraqi oil dollars) then MAKE BELIEVE that you are giving back a little, that is not real ''giving''!
You are STILL a gluttonous thief! OK, Bizzzz?

actually america is one of the poorest nations
on earth, its national debt is 9 trillion
dollars. everything we have in america
is a loan on a loan on a loan from the loan
ranger, and tonto wants it all back pronto.
by ten years ago. indian casinos grossed
25 billion last year. i think paris
hilton''s visit to rwanda has something
to do with love. she so loves black.
since she''s gone black, she can never come
back. so she''s moving to where its all black.
most black people live in africa, not los
angeles, ca, that''s a spanish town. and
very indian also. apache nation now growing
like no tomorrow.

Agnim,
First of all, Paris Hilton is a materialistic *** that is an embarrassment to most Americans. AMERICAN''S AREN''T GREEDY. They are most giving country in the history of mankind. The difference between the US and other country''s is that we our innovative and most of us work our @sses off everyday to take care of our families and to get ahead. We also live in a free society with at least a(semi) non corrupt government that lets us get ahead.
Unlike Mexico that is corrupt from the President on down, or France where they aren''t allowed to work a full day, or the middle East where the only thing they''ve patented is violence.
Americans work their @sses off. Maybe you don''t, but the rest of us do.

At least with her figure she''ll fit in with all the starving people, except for her, it won''t be unintentional. What a show this should be. I can see her in her air conditioned trailer eating crab and caviar and on camera lamenting about the poor and suffering in Rwanda. Let me make some popcorn now and get ready for this show.
