Protect Africa From Paris!

Where: Rwanda

George Clooney went to the Sudan. Angelina Jolie went to Cambodia. Now Paris Hilton is set to become the umpteenth celebrity to make a humanitarian trip--and, predictably, hers will be filmed. Paris is traveling to clinics and schools in Rwanda with Playing for Good, an organization that holds fundraising summits to benefit children's charities.

Don't get us wrong, it's great when people who are famous (for whatever reason) use that to draw attention to conflicts that might otherwise go under the radar. Still, this smells like "unhelpful publicity stunt" to us. Simple Life: Central Africa? We're not sold on it.
