Philanthropist and rocket scientist Paris Hilton is packing her Louis Vuitton trunk and heading for Rwanda. As previously threatened, the heiress is heading to the impoverished nation with a children's charity, and hopes to make a difference, one thong at a time. Why? "I want to leave a mark on the world," says Paris. Get out the penicillin.
And in case you're thinking that Hilton actually has a human side to her, get this: She tells Newsweek that, like every other PR stint in her life, the entire trip wall be filmed. Why? "I love having everything documented. It shows people what everyday life is like for me, how hard I work." Yes, because compared to you, Paris, those Rwandan children are such a bunch of slackers.
Is it too late to stop this? Isn't this a matter of national security? I've been waiting for someone in the State Department to wake up and deny her a visa, or discover that it violates some part of the Geneva Convention. Better yet, let's send her on a last-minute hunting trip with Cheney.
