Paris Hilton Finds 'Generous' in Dictionary

by celebuzz on Jun. 27, 2008 01:54 PM / 7 Comments

Believe it or not, as of June 26, it's been exactly a year since Paris Hilton was released from jail for antics related to a DUI charge. With her first taste of freedom, the blond socialite hit the press circuit, informing Larry King of her newfound interest in spirituality and vowing to become a humanitarian.

Now, on the anniversary of her release, Hilton has made an "extremely generous" donation to Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Paris said in a statement, "I am proud to make a donation and lend my name to the fundraising effort to help children who are facing terribly serious illnesses."

Hilton's contribution to the hospital will go toward construction of a 460,000-square-foot Children's Center for Cancer and Blood Diseases, planned to open in 2010.

Lest anyone think this gesture is uncharacteristically giving of Paris, don't forget that the woman has spent a lifetime donating her body to the advancement of the science of self-tanning.

“Paris's rep: Sweetie, people have this view of you as..well, uh..
Paris: Oh my god, are you watching The Hills? Lauren Conrad is SO FAT. She's a total cow. She probably has a cottage cheese ass like Kim Kardashian's. Ugh, thank god I'm so awesomely thin. And smart! Wait - what?
Paris's rep: What I was saying is that there's this opportunity to donate some money to the children's hospital..
Paris: What's that?
Paris' rep: A hospital. For children.
Paris: Is there a bar?
Paris' rep: It's a hospital.
Paris: So there's drugs?
Paris' rep: *sigh*”

I wouldn't put it past her to do a kind deed just for the publicity associated with it. She would do anything for attention. Check out the parody video of Paris on minimovie.com- it's hilarious!
