Paris Gives Up a Benjamin

Paris Hilton may be many things, but she sure isn't stingy, especially when she's coming out of a McDonalds drive-thru and a pan-handler asks her for money.

"You Paris Hilton! Can I get a hundred dollars?" was the exact quote.

Before Paris could answer, then man came down quite a bit, asking "how 'bout a dollar?" But Paris heard the first request and reached beside her and handed the man a crumpled $100 bill.

She then posed with him and remained polite, even when he asked about "Lionel Richie's daughter", a reference to Paris' drama-filled relationship with Nicole Richie. The dude must be reading TMZ.

Later he offered to wash Paris' car, but she has people to do that. She spent less than $10 on her own lunch, but that guy can now afford a sushi feast at Koi. If he can get a table, that is.

61. Mr. Levin,

I know this is obviously won't mean anything to you, but as I read your comments about going fighting and surviving cancer 4 times and then reading the hatred you spew towards someone you don't know, I just had to ask why?. I would never say I personally understand what you have gone through, but in the past 7 years I have lost two cousins, and aunt whom I spent the last few months of her life with her everyday, my best friend and another friend as a result of this terrible disease. However, never once did I hear them put forth the anger that seems to be coming from you. They faced this disease with strength and grace. My best friend went through it more than once, like you. He told me that he was angry, angry with the situation, not anyone in particular. It's no one's fault that he got sick, not even his own. Nor was it the fault of anyone else that I know who has had cancer. For whatever reason it just happened. It's a great thing that you give your time, energy and money to help the rest of us understand what you've been through and give support to those who are suffering. It just boggles my mind that you have such a hatred for someone you don't know or care to know. I'm no fan of Miss Hilton and I think her 15 minutes were up a long time ago. She is annoying and will probably never know what it is to really need something or have to struggle for anything. Not like the rest of us who have to work at a real job and barely make ends meet. If you don't like her, don't look at her pictures or read articles about her. Just turn her off. I understand that the media is saturated with her image and unintelligent comments, but we have the choice to ignore them.

This being said, I hope you find peace. I'm not saying you are an unhappy or mean person. Obviously something about Miss Hilton pushes your buttons. Just tune her out and turn her off. I know where you are coming from when it comes to her, but I wouldn't wish her harm or anything worse. She is one of those people who will wander through life never knowing what a REAL friend is. Never knowing what REAL love is. No one will ever love her for her or just want to be her friend for the sake of friendship. She may have everything at the tips of her fingers, just not the things that really count. Maybe someday she will, but I think she's too far gone at this point to realize that.

I hope you don't take offense to this as that was not my intention. You probably will and so be it. As my best friend used to say " It is what it is."

Good Luck to you.

64. Exactly Dave that's why I dont give a shit, but how sad is it that your opinions dont count in you own country? Wow must be worse than taking it in your ass just to later find out your partner has AIDS. I think you've come to the right place to ask for pity, I personaly give my pity upon you. Bless your soul.

66. see Tina youunderstand what cancer is and you have see what it can do...my "angry" doesnt come from what i have been through. i am not pissed off at the world as a matter of fact if you knew who i really was as a person you would know that i am a nice and friendly guy. what i have been threw again doesnt make me bitter, i like helpin people thats why i did studies for cancer and try to help out cancer patients as much as possible by talking to the people who are going through it. The reason why i have such harsh and venomous words is because i see people like this girl Parsi who has no idea what the real life is like...and if she would just take a momment to open her eyes and take in some of the worlds tragady (not just cancer patients) but everything and devote sometime to help thoughs who really need it, there words of mind would be much harder to come up with. its extremely easy to pick on Paris because she can do so much and yet she does so little to help mankind. Again i am not bitter at the world i just hate the people who could make a different and they dont and then people forgive them because they loss off $100 to one person and that makes things all better. I dont think so...i am sorry you had to be around that much saddness, I really do have a heart of gold, but when i see people like this i can't help it but to bad mouth them and use my knowledge of words against them. If she were to clean up her act, stop cutting cd's and do SOMETHING useful for people then i would have no reason to slander her like i do.
not to sound like a prick but does that make sense to you or do you think i am still in the wrong?

70. Daves anger must come from hunger. I heard the prices of food went up in America, you poor people must be starving. Aw how sad but please dont come to Europe we cleaned our garbage out in 1941. We don't like ugly, fat, prostitutes, homosexuals, gypsies or jewish people.

71. Euro your words still dont piss me off....i just know we kicked you ass and sent you ass packing back to europe and then we had to save your ass in WWII...so again your words still dont mean anything to me, you gave us Mr. Bean but you can have him back. and as for homo's your the only one talkin bout ass rape in here son so...maybe you should just tell you people that you finally came out of the closet, there nothing wrong with that man. if you feel like europe will castrate you for that then just come to america and live in hollywood you should just be fine there.

72. Really, would it be that hard for her to really help this guy out?

Why doesn't she just do what she does all the time and call some of her "people"? All she needed to do was call one of her "people" to swing by, pick up the homeless guy, and start him on a better path.

Or better yet, start a non-profit business or fund called "Paris Cares" that focusses on taking the homeless off the street, off drugs and alchohol? I think her time would be alot better spent, instead of laying down canned bullshit pitch corrected lyrics for her crappy CD.

And PAY THE FUCK ATTENTION! No BB Guns, no sniper rifles, no disguises, no beating, nobodies gonna die. Just my fist and his or her face, whichever comes first - broken nose or black eye at the most.

And if European Union has a problem with my country, I'll knock him the fuck out too. I might not be so proud of America these days, but don't for one second blame every American for the actions of people that are in positions of power.

74. Mr. Levin,

Thank you for your honesty and your words do make sense to me. I too think it's a sad thing when the people who are more than capable of helping out won't . They spend their time looking for the next photo op or "in" thing. And you are right, one act of random kindness does not make a saint of anyone. Unfortunately for people like Miss Hilton, she has to have photo proof of her good deeds, she can't just do it without making it known to the world. I don't know her personally and don't wish to. I just hope that she does do good things to help people on her own, things that aren't plastered in mags and blogs like this. I wouldn't even call her a bad person, just confused and SPOILED!! However, you can thank her parents for that.

Anyway, Thank you also for all you do for cancer research, patients, and families. Your hard work won't go unnoticed. Here's hoping that someday cancer will be as curable as a headache!!

By the way, I never thought you were wrong in your opinions. Well, wishing her to be physically hurt is pretty harsh. But hopefully with people like you trying to educate the rest of us, she'll catch on someday.

Take care,
Tina

75. #54 My commentary was not necessarily directed at you. I just kinda threw it out there as a general question, I lost one of my sisters in law 3 weeks ago after a 6 year battle with bone cancer. I do have extreme sympathy for those who are sick and or dying from any illness. Sorry to have offended you in any way. Hope you have a great day. Mrs. Scott
