Paris Hilton seen cheering up sick kids in Hospital


Paris Hilton now seems to get going for some social work or may be find joy among sick children. Hilton visited The Gold Coast Hospital in Queens land, Australia on January 2 and was seen cheering up the kids there. Isn’t it unbelievable? Well, anything can happen with these stars and it is only after some time that we know whether it was a genuine effort or just a time pass and a popularity stunt.

After being in limelight as a singer, actor, model, television personality, it seems she wants to add a social activist’s tag, which is newly invented, to her list of fame. However she has been a well-known celebrity and has her fans throughout the world. Hilton had appeared as world’s ‘Most Overrated Celebrity’ in the ‘Guinness World Records’ in 2007.

While promoting a canned version of Italian sparkling wine, Hilton posed nude painted in gold. A homemade sex video was also leaked on Internet in 2003.

With all these items in her fame’s list, can anyone believe that Hilton was seen cheering up sick kids in a hospital in Australia? Can we take it as a New Year resolution and expect more such social works from Hilton this year?
