Paris Hilton Actually Doing Charity Work

Mandy @ Gone Hollywood | Tuesday, July 24, 2007

When Paris Hilton was on Larry King Live, a lot of untruths came out (remember the “I’ve never done drugs” line?). Now, Paris is following up at least on one thing she said, and is actually doing charity work. This is news mostly because I never believed it would happen.

Sunday she came out for a friend’s charity gala to raise funds for children with spinal cord injuries with the Life Rolls On Foundation. It was the Foundation’s 4th annual Night by the Ocean auction. “It’s a great organization. It gives people hope and I’m really happy to be here to support Jesse.” (Paris’ close friend Jesse Billauer, a former pro surfer who is now paralyzed, founded Life Rolls On.)

Paris bid on and won a $17,500 surfing lesson with Billauer and Adam Sandler. And, the dress she wore was an attempt to help out a 19-year-old fashion student she met when he helped pump her gas.

“He said he loved me and my style and showed me 30 dresses he designed just for me. I was amazed by how incredibly talented he was,” Hilton said of designer Jonathan Bash.

Paris also let us in on her upcoming plans: “I’m just focusing on doing a movie right now. It’s a surprise but I start shooting next month.” The surprise is that Paris was cast in a movie - did no one see House of Wax? Oh, wait, no one did see House of Wax.

And to make sure we know she’s really doing lots of good work these days, she added, “I was just at the Los Angeles Children’s Hospital visiting all of the kids and premature babies in the cancer ward. I met with philanthropists and they’re doing a summit with five major charities and we’ll be doing stuff all over the world. I’m excited.”

That’s right, Paris, whenever you do anything charitable in the least, make sure you tell the world about it.
