Paris' Rwanda Run -- Not So Fast!

It was good while it almost lasted: Paris Hilton's first big stab at rehabbing her post-jail image -- a trip to Rwanda -- has been "postponed."

People reports that the would-be philanthrotante won't be going to the African nation, because the group she was going to work with, Playing for Good Foundation, is "restructuring," or so it said in a statement.

"Paris has been a loyal and gracious supporter of Playing for Good, but the foundation has to regrettably reschedule this trip," it said Thursday.

Hiltie was planning to travel to Africa in November to help raise awareness of child poverty. We contacted Paris' rep to find out whether she's still going to South Africa for that much hyped ex-con-ference with Nelson Mandela, but we haven't heard back.

108. Well, my guess would be that reality hit when she learned which vaccinations are suggested and the disease alerts currently in effect for the region. Too much of a commitment for the shallow Ms. Hilton. Visit this site for a scare. http://wwwn.cdc.gov/travel/destinationRwanda.aspx

112. I wish this Herpes ridden SKANK would just GO AWAY and we shouldn't have to look at this A**hole anymore or read about her and what a joke this is because she admitted she was scared of going to Rwanda and I could just see her crying all over again " mommy I don't want to go to Rwanda" just like in the police car when she was let go after a day or 2 and then had to go back to prison because the public was not going to put up with that nonsense with her just spending a few hours in jail.

Why do you say that I suck. If you took the time to read the comment, you would see that I was responding to #94's comment, as I also took offence to it, as you did. How can you crap on me for my comment, when you just did the exact same thing that I did. I don't understand.

117. At times, I genuinely feel sorry for Paris, with the severe negativity she gets – not just from the media, but from us -- the general public -- as well. I think, perhaps we really are being unfair to her. Then she gives an interview and says things that are so phony or narcissistic, I am once again repulsed by her. It never fails. And she has the insolence to blame the media and the “bad people in LA” for how she portrays herself?

Does this woman even have a clue as to how she looks to the world? I have a gut feeling that Playing For Good actually pulled out of sponsoring her Rwandan trip because they decided that she is not the right person to represent their organization.

If I were her publicist, I’d call it a day.

118. Paris going to Rwanda now, when she's in this embrionic stage of world conciousness(much like a 12 year old - not to disparage 12 year olds) shames Rwanda, and shames Paris. She's still seeing the these sad world events in terms of career rehabilitation and potential photo opportunities. It's just not sincere. Better she should drop some major dimes, without any publicity, on the many organizations who have a REAL dedication to healing Africa.

If only she had the guts to let her eyes and hair be their natural brown color, go on a totally non-publicized, (especially when she comes back), truly humanitarian trip, she might gain a sense of perspective and actually get it. And maybe she can become the celebrity idiot savant that diverts us from our ever growing hunger for meaningless gossip.... Nah! Plus, TMZ won't like it...

119. # 118 That's right...TMZ needs her. Momma Hilton needs her also, to continue the tradition of vapidness and grasping at meaningless "things". That's their legacy. I think the trip was a media stunt and never was there an actual intention of going there.

She's useless as she is. She needs to change and quit focusing on lame parts in movies that go straight to DVD.
