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.

76. Thanks for the props.

I think now's a great time to wind down with a little "Charlie the Unicorn". A little laughter can go along way....and depending on your sense of humor, this is some of the funniest shit i've seen in a while:

My gift to you all, laughter via "Charlie the Unicorn"

77. How the hell did I know while I was watching this video that everyone here was going to chastise her for playing up to the cameras???? You people obviously have no class and have nothing better to do with yourselves than to berate successful people... let's not forget that she made her own money last yr about $17 million... and it looks to me like she is a sweet girl... does she follow you around your jobs at McDonalds and yell at you for the way you flip the fries or for NOT giving money to a homeless person? FUCK OFF LOSERS!

78. Trust me -Can't Wait- I gave your people the benefit of the doubt..but just reading what your fellow citizens write on this blog made me think that you guys are no different than your government. I've never come across more arrogant and close minded people in my life, and I have traveled around the world. Americans think their country is the greatest and everybody wants to be like them. The truth is you believe only what your president tells you, and what he tells you is more often than not a lie. You have no idea what goes on in the rest of the world. Your government has made you into primitive puppets. The rest of the world expects you to ruin yourselves any day now since your president keeps putting his nose where it doesnt belong. And you know what happens to people who do that. I dont think you really want to know what the rest of the world thinks of you, you probably wouldnt believe it anyway. But do me a favor and vote another one of Bush's relatives for the next term in the office, it will just make you go away faster.

Peace out puppets.

79. To Tina,
i know what i do for cancer research will go unnoticed but thats ok until Paris i dont need fame to know what i do and put my body on the line is for the better...it may cause me pain but i know for everything i go through something good may come out of it (hopefully) and help out thousand more. I thank you for your words and understanding where i am coming from. I know my words can be harsh but having the abitily to do something good for some people and not doing so is extremely harsh (in my eyes) as well. and i only wish that upon her so she knows that life isnt a bowl of cherries like she has in her life, i just wish she knew what pain was about. Thank you again for giving me the shot to explain myself and i know you might think my words are extreme...i only say them so that maybe Paris or one of her friends reads this and says shit maybe we should do something (besides shopping). Take care Tina, i wish you and your family only the best of that life can give.

To Mrs. Scott
I am sorry to hear bout your loss. Seeing someone die isnt easy at all i am sorry i jumped down your throat and sometimes i have to step back and see that not everyone who response to me if trying to get a rise out of me. I truely am sorry for not taken a closer look at your problems and realizing that maybe you have had a problem with life as well. I just hope you have it in your heart to forgive. Next time i will take a closer look into what people have to say (like yourself) before i got on the "attack". You have a wonderful day and god bless you and your family.

80. Hey European are you making terroristic treats to the U.S.A.? I surely hope no one reports you to our government or your going to be going away fast that any one of us Americans. So zip the lip unless you can back it up becuase you know what we do to terrorists, i never voted in the president but i surely know he likes to drop bombs on people that doesn't like America. Tony Blair stepped down for a reason....i surely hope your words dont make it on to someone's desk in the pentagon.

81. And what!? No love for Charlie the Unicorn!!!?

"tap, tap, cough, is this thing on?" TOUGH CROWD!

EuropeanUnion, you bore me with your little misguided manifesto of stereotypes. Where are you from exactly? The U.K. is my bet. Don't be mad at us just b/c we have air conditioning and good dentists.

Yawn...your attempts at enlightenment of the American public via the "Paris Gives Up a Benjamin" comments section are falling on deaf ears. Governmental Global Policy, News, updates etc.. are lies - I get it, some don't. Money and control is the bottom line...yada, yada, yada, blah blah blah..i get it.

I would still enjoy delivering you a first class punch in the face tho!

The U.S.A. IS pretty kick ass btw...!

Cheers.

82. #77 No problem Sweetie! I took no offense. God Bless Sweets!

83. Hey Mr. Levin,

Keep up the good work and many blessings to you and yours too!! Gotta get to work now......Fortunately for me, I don't have the life of an heiress!! What I do have is wonderful friends, a loving and supportive family, and places like this were I can express my opinion and learn more about those of others.

Have a great night!

To CantWait: Here's a shout out to Charlie the Unicorn!!!! Go Charlie!!!!

84. A lot of jealous haters here, hein?

Well, I know Paris, and this isn't the first time she or her brother, Conrad does this. Her family and her have been doing charity work all their life.

These haters are simply clueless people and don't know anything about the Hiltons and how much they have helped.

Bottom line: They're all jealous and that's what counts.

And Dave Levin, I seriously hope especially YOU burn in hell! You evil beast!

85. You fucking asswhole, Dave Levin. You don't even know what you're talking about.

There are a lot more worse people than Paris Hilton. Leave her ALONE! Will you get that in your head?

He's a CELEBRITY not a fundrasier. She won't live a miserable like just because you have one. Don't you get it?

She helps people when she has the time and when can, but that's not her work! She's a celebrity, an entertainer, a business woman.

She works hard for her money. And yes she is successful and she has the rights to be.

Go complain on other people, you stonehead.

86. Um, can anyone see what was happening here? This was a set-up to make Paris Hilton look like a decent human to the public. Think about this: how would a "homeless guy" see her show? It's on CABLE! What would the cable be connected to in a homeless guy's life? You have to have an address to have a cable connection.

This is a classic publicity stunt in the manner of one of the Rockefellers who had an image problem with the public, too. He was advised by his P.R. guy to hand out dimes to every child he met on the street. These days, a dime (even a dollar or more) would seem like chump change, so they just upped it to a Benjamin. Same stunt, just updated for modern times. Sorry folks, I call B.S. on this one.

87. First, to European Union - I sincerely hope you take a moment to read this. Are you for real??? Do you really think you are that much luckier than we are? America IS the GREATEST country in the world!!!! Bar None!!! You pompous ASS!! I have been to your country, and it is far trashier (and certainly one of the dirtiest, nastiest places I have ever been) and far more depraved than America! You have the nerve to talk about our values? I saw first hand the Eurpoean sex values - far worse than America. And you...you think you know what the truth really is? You are piss ant - a nobody and you think you are privy to the truth? You pompous AND arrogant ass!! I don't believe any of us know the full truth, but least of all someone like you! For all the crap that you spewed, you managed to show only one thing; your complete and total ignorance. The truth is that America is a kind and giving country - we provide charitable funding to any country in need all the time. Exactly what have you done for us when we were in need - say, after 9/11? Where are our thank-you's for all of the funds contributed not only for disasters, but just for the sake of being asked for economical reasons? America gives far more than any other country in the world, hands down, and for all of what we do, there are ungrateful A**HOLES in the world just like you!!! For all of our imperfections, we still beat the UK by 1000%, hands down! GO USA!!!!

And to Mr. Levin - I just flat out pity you. You are by far one of the most hateful people I have ever encountered. Wishing someone dead is far more than just a "bit harsh" by the way. You obviously need mental help. Seriously, dude, get some help.

Lastly, with regard to Paris's kind act. Truly, guys, I am NOT a fan of hers at all, but I must say that I looked at that video carefully, and she really was kind to that homeless guy. For all of her faults, and believe me there are more than I can count, at least she is kind and friendly to strangers on the street. Maybe for publicity - who knows? What I do know is that she gave the guy $100. She just as easily could have dropped him a $20. Still, a nice gesture. I say give her kudos when she deserves it, and this is one time she does. Publicity or not.
