She’s on a the mission to raise awareness with Scott Harrison the founder of the charity: Water. Cat Power said she planned to “visit a few hospitals with no water and then gonna dig a well for a few schools and just do basic traveling to ‘find’ new places for wells.”

If Paris isn’t going to make good on her promise to devote her time to charity, then fear no more… worries or empty promises, it’s been decided for her… granddaddy Baron Hilton is making sure some of her fortune will go there!
Barron Hilton, the son of the man who founded the hotel chain and made the family fortune just announced he’s giving away 97% of his $2.3 billion fortune to his father’s charity foundation, the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation. The foundation supports projects that provide clean water to drought-stricken villages in Africa, education for blind children and housing for the mentally ill.
Paris and her siblings are likely to rake in $5 million each.
“Speaking for the family as well as the foundation, we are all exceedingly proud and grateful for this extraordinary commitment,” said Steven Hilton, the foundation’s head as well as one of Barron’s six sons and an uncle to Paris Hilton.
Wise decision!

How happy do you think Paris is to have her frightening trip to Rwanda, postponed?
Playing for Good Foundation, the charity organization that planned Paris’ big philanthropic debut, announced, “Due to the restructuring of the Playing for Good Foundation, the philanthropic trip to Rwanda that the foundation had previously planned with Paris Hilton has been postponed,” the charity organization announced.
“Paris has been a loyal and gracious supporter of Playing For Good but the foundation has to regrettably reschedule this trip. Playing for Good would like to thank Ms. Hilton for her generosity and her continued support of this initiative and is looking forward to rescheduling the trip with her at a later time.”
In her first interview with Larry King, after her 23 day stint in the LA county jail, she promised to use her celebrity status for good causes. This would have been her first trip on her itinerary for good, to visit schools and health-care clinics.
She got by the hair on her chinny chin chin! “I’m scared, yeah. I’ve heard it’s really dangerous,” Hilton told Newsweek magazine earlier this month. “I’ve never been on a trip like this before.”
Did we see this one coming?

It is being reported that Paris has finally admitted that her hard partying has left her feeling “empty” inside. Any excuse will do, bottom line, theres nothing going on in there.
She is also saying that she is very “scared” for her safety on her bluff calling planned trip to Rwanda next month for charity.
Paris, news flash: don’t worry, the Rwandans are probably more afraid of your disease spreading ass, than you should be of them.
