There Is No Paris In Africa, And There Won’t Be For A While

Paris Hilton will have to look a little closer to home for her philanthropic actions, as her planned trip to Rwanda has been postponed indefinitely:

“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 organization said Thursday in a statement.

“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.”

A visit to the group’s website still shows the information for the “Playing For Good Philanthropic Summit”, scheduled for August 30-September 1.  It doesn’t appear to have been updated in a while.  I wonder just what the “restructuring” is that is going on, and I wonder where the money has gone that has been donated thus far.  The trip was to be documented by the organization’s founder for a new reality show, “The Philanthropist”.

You know, I’m all for doing good around the world for those in need.  I understand that there are so many in the world who have it so much worse than we do, and I do believe we need to help where we can.  But I think if Paris were serious about her new-found philanthropic desires, I’m sure there are many, many charities in her area who could use her help, money, and famous connections.  I’m positive there are organizations for the elderly homeless people, abused children, unwed mothers, drug addicts, and the needy within a Jimmy Choo’s throw of her house.  Why not help one of those?

Or can’t she get media coverage for something like that?

Do you think that inside she’s secretly going… -whew-

  1. Oh no, those poor Rwandans! To think that their one opportunity to become reality show stars alongside the fabulous Ms. Hilton has been so cruelly dangled under their noses only to be yanked away like this. What ever will they do? I can hear the sound of their shattering dreams from here. Oh wait, that’s just the sound of my vomit hitting the monitor, never mind.
