Paris Turning Rwanda Trip into Reality Show?

As “Extra” first reported, Paris Hilton is heading to Rwanda for a charity mission.

But is the socialite turning her trip into a reality show?

A new report says Paris will document her time in the African nation and turn it into a reality series called “The Philanthropist.”

But today, Paris' rep told "Extra" the report is "not true at all."

“I feel it's time to give back, and I feel really lucky and blessed,” she told “Extra” in September when she broke the news about her African trip. “It's what I need to do.”

Ms. Hilton goes to Africa
By Belem Sessions

Socialite Paris Hilton arrived at the Hôtel des Milles Collines late Tuesday night after an 18 hour flight from JFK to Kigali’s International Airport. She arrived without the speculated loads of luggage; all ten pieces had been mistakenly sent to the Seychelles. The heiress found replacement clothing in the hotel’s souvenir shop; she wore Rwandan beer Mutzig and Primus t-shirts for the remainder of her week.
Though not well known in Rwanda for whatever it is that she does, Hilton’s name caused some apprehension in the small country. Rwandans still hold France responsible for its troubles and are not fond of French expatriates. Many learned with some relief that Hilton is American, and with some surprise that she does not actually speak French.
First on her itinerary was to visit an orphanage where she and the ministers of education and health took pictures with selected orphans. She spent around 15 minutes passing out tootsie pops, Bratz® dolls and lip-gloss to eager young girls. But when the orphans began to eat the strawberry flavored lip-gloss and play football with the Bratz® heads, it was time to go. She moved on to an AIDS clinic in downtown Kigali where her experience as a medical assistant on The Simple Life came to no use. The socialite looked uncomfortable and pensive as she spoke with dying patients about how her difficult time in a California prison had inspired her to help Rwandans by having their picture taken with her.
The wives of many ministers told Hilton that she looked fat and happy. Her eyes brimmed with tears through many interviews with local journalists who also exclaimed how très grosse she was. She was overheard whispering to her entourage that Rwandans were the rudest people she had ever met.
An interpreter explained to her that fat was actually a compliment and that it was a good thing because it meant she didn’t have AIDS. The interpreter did not explain the truth, which was that many Rwandans strongly believed that she in fact had AIDS both because of her thin frame and her reoccurring film roles.
Before leaving for Africa, Ms. Hilton was quoted as saying she would help Rwandan children by “bringing attention” with her. She would bring the attention; others would do the philanthropy. But for once the paparazzi did not want to follow her. Her own camera crew was left with very little footage of the heiress doing anything but looking pretty. In order to get the attention such a journey deserves, Hilton has bought airtime on E! to turn her “safari” into another reality show. Rwandan orphans replace simple Arkansas country folk as extras on another season of The Simple Life.
Hilton wanted to go on safari before leaving Africa but was told that most of the big game in Rwanda had been eaten during the civil war. She concluded her trip to the motherland by making a stop in South Africa to shop for diamonds and go on a wine-tasting tour. There she experienced a terrible reaction with her mefloquine and alcohol and promtly fell over and died.

I wouldn’t bow down to paris queenie heiress if she made me bow down to her in personally.
I still feel her trip to Rwanda rings really false, and it’s all a self-promotional piece of sh—, like paris hilton herself still is.
She’s still overpromoting herself too much, and Rwanda will be another way for her to, yet again, overpromote herself as a shallow heiress.

I think Paris is doing a great job and Bow Down to her. She needs to look further like she is doing now since it will give her a real check on life and appriciates what she has at home. In using her Celebrity is doing a great service. Please come to Ethiopia Paris i will give you a great tour. “Chocolatez” the Hip Hop group will give you the grove.

wish you all the best

Keep up the good work

If it’s what she needs to do, she should do it without the cameras. Believe me, her intention of turning it into a reality show is to pimp herself once again, not to show the horrors in Rwanda.
