TRIP TO RWANDA WILL BE FILMED ‘FOR THE GOOD OF HUMANITY’ AND A POTENTIAL
REALITY TV SHOW

NEW YORK, Oct. 14 /PRNewswire/ — In her first interview since
announcing her upcoming trip to Africa, Paris Hilton, known for her party
girl hijinks and reality television show, “The Simple Life,” reveals
details about the trip, her plans to take her life in a different direction
and perhaps another reality TV show.

“Before, my life was about having fun, going to parties-it was a
fantasy. But when I had time to reflect, I felt empty inside. I want to
leave a mark on the world,” she told Associate Editor Ramin Setoodeh in the
October 22 issue of Newsweek (on newsstands Monday, October 15).
One of her first steps in shedding her old persona, aside from cutting
her hair and scaling down her time partying, will be to take a
five-day-long trip to Rwanda. She will be visiting schools and health-care
clinics and even staying in decidedly un-Hilton-like accommodations. “I’m
scared, yeah. I’ve heard it’s really dangerous,” she says. “I’ve never been
on a trip like this before.” She says she’ll resort to eating candy bars if
that’s what it takes to get her through any foreign-cuisine issues. She’ll
be traveling with a little-known children’s charity called “Playing for
Good.” One familiar aspect of the trip will be the camera chronicling it
all. “She’s using her celebrity and the cameras that follow her for the
good of humanity,” says Scott Lazerson, the organization’s founder. Let’s
not forget the good of Lazerson, and Hilton. Turns out that he’s filming
the trip in hopes of selling it as a reality show called “The
Philanthropist,” featuring various selfless celebrities who rescue the
world’s poor.
Unlike other celebrities her age that have run into trouble with the
law, Hilton has been smart about how she handled the situation, Setoodeh
reports. When she wasn’t crying during her stint in jail this summer, she
spent her time studying the script for “Repo!” “I was auditioning and
practicing in my cell,” she says. “I had nothing else to do.”
In “Repo! The Genetic Opera!” Hilton plays an heiress with an addiction
to plastic surgery. Perhaps in an attempt to distance herself from her
character, she plays the role in a black wig and prosthetic, Nicole
Kidman-like nose. “You should have seen me yesterday,” she told Setoodeh,
who was on the set. “I had a melted face all cut up with scars. I looked
horrible. It was so embarrassing.” “Repo!” director Darren Lynn Bousman
says he wouldn’t have it any other way. “I don’t want her to look like
Paris Hilton, because I want people to know she got this role because she
can act.”
