Paris lets sick children down

HOLLYWOOD party girl Paris Hilton was happy to play charity queen while the cameras were rolling. But two years after a well-publicised visit to Gold Coast charity Paradise Kids, the millionaire heiress has broken a promise she made to help seriously ill children. Hilton pledged to organise a star-studded benefit concert in Los Angeles to raise much-needed funds for the charity.

She claimed it was one of her first priorities after returning to the US from the Gold Coast, where she spent six weeks filming House of Wax in 2004.

"I'll get a few friends together. I know the Backstreet Boys will help out for sure and I talked to Blu Cantrell last night," Hilton claimed at the time. Missy Elliott was another big-name act mentioned. "I definitely want to do this," Hilton told gathered media. "My grandmother died of cancer and I almost lost my cousin to leukemia. It's just something very important to me.

"I love kids and I just feel it's the right thing to do. It makes me feel good about myself and it helps other people." To date, no benefit concert has taken place and efforts by Paradise Kids to contact Hilton have been unsuccessful.

1. So, is Bill O'Reilly gonna rip all over her like he did George Clooney?

I'll bet not. Paris is a empty, publicity hound and this shouldn't surprise no one.
