After telling Larry King one year ago, that she "wanted to help kids with MS and breast cancer," Paris Hilton made an "extremely generous" donation towards the construction of a children's hospital in Los Angeles. She put an undisclosed amount of her own money to help with the building of a new wing of the Children's Hospital Los Angeles, according to hospital officials.
Where sho got the money? From a new private tape of course!
The s e x tape with noted actor, Vern "Mini-Me" Troyer, will be distributed by the same company that handled Hilton's "One Night In Paris" 2004 release, with all income being donated to Children's Hospital Los Angeles.

Hilton made a promise to become a better person after spending 23 days in jail last year following probation violations on alcohol related reckless driving charges - claiming she wanted "to help raise money for kids and for breast cancer and multiple sclerosis".

The tape will be released only through web distribution. And its title Little Big Man In Paris was conceived by Hilton herself in an attempt to capitalize on the "word play" of "One Night In Paris".
However, when it was pointed out at a press conference held at the Regent-Beverly Wilshire by a reporter that there is no word play, Hilton became confused. "No, see, Vern is small, but let me tell you big where it counts, and he was inside me, Paris. Get it?" Reporters generally thought follow-up questions would take up most of the allotted hour and moved on.

The tape was only to be for private viewing and "maybe a few of my close MySpace friends," said Hilton. But then Hilton hit upon the idea while attending an Adult Video News Yahtzee event. "I saw all of this talent going to waste. How are they helping people," explained Hilton. "I mean, it's called a "money shot", so show me the money to save the kids."

However, the three and one half hour epic (Troyer took Cialis prior to the shoot, and Eli Lilly is also donating an unspecified sum to the "Children's Hospital" for a sponsorship spot on the tape.) is not without controversy, especially a sequence that involves Troyer dressed as Hitler and Hilton dressed as Heidi, saying "invade me." This has caused presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain to call it "racist in the worst possible way and just bad dwarf humor." Both Hilton and Troyer were quick to defend the sequence asking the public to remember that initially it was only to be for select MySpace friends and maybe the "RedTube.com fetish channel."

Paris Hilton is on a mission to change her image, heading to Rwanda on a trip she hopes will allow her to leave a mark on the world -- and possibly create another reality TV show.

The 26-year-old a hotel heiress said in June that she was a changed person and vowed to shed her party-girl image after leaving jail where she served three weeks for violating probation in a drunken-driving case.

"Before, my life was about having fun, going to parties -- it was a fantasy," Hilton told Newsweek magazine, opting to speak to the news-focused journal rather than a celebrity magazine. "But when I had time to reflect, I felt empty inside. I want to leave a mark on the world."

She has acknowledged she has long enjoyed the Hollywood party scene but she said she spent her time in jail reading the Bible and praying to God for strength, deciding to give new meaning to her life by pursuing charity work.

During her trip to Rwanda, Hilton will be visiting schools and health-care clinics and staying in accommodations a long shot from the Hilton Hotels owned by her family.

"I'm scared, yeah. I've heard it's really dangerous," she told Newsweek (www.newsweek.com) in an issue on newsstands from October 15. "I've never been on a trip like this before."

Paris Hilton will have a very unglamorous new address if prosecutors get their way: the Los Angeles County jail. The city attorney's office filed documents in Superior Court recommending the hotel heiress and TV star be jailed for 45 days for violating terms of her probation for an alcohol-related reckless driving conviction.

Prosecutors also want Hilton to stay away from alcohol for 90 days and wear a monitoring device that will chart whether she complies. And they are seeking to have her license suspended for an additional four months.
The recommendation will be reviewed by a judge when Hilton appears for a probation violation hearing on Friday. The judge can accept it or impose a different penalty. The maximum penalty is 90 days in jail.
City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo said Hilton is being treated the same as anyone else.
"Anyone who would have conducted themselves in a way that resulted in this set of facts, we would have made the same recommendation of 45 days in county jail, regardless of whether they were a celebrity or not," he said Thursday.

Delgadillo said he is requesting Hilton serve her time in the county jail, but where she is incarcerated is up to the judge. He said Hilton could request to be housed in a jail of her choice but if the judge grants that she would be required to pay the costs of her incarceration.

Hilton, 26, pleaded no contest in January to reckless driving stemming from a Sept. 7 arrest in Hollywood. Police said she appeared intoxicated and failed a field sobriety test. She had a blood-alcohol level of .08 percent, the level at which an adult driver is in violation of the law.
Hilton said she had only a single margarita at a charity event that evening but may have been "speeding a little bit" while on her way to get a hamburger.

A no-contest plea is not an admission of guilt but is equivalent to a guilty plea for determining sentencing. She was sentenced to 36 months probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines.
Two other traffic stops are what landed Hilton back in court.
On Jan. 15 she was pulled over by California Highway Patrol. Officers informed Hilton she was driving on a suspended license and she signed a document acknowledging she was not to drive, according to court papers.

She then was stopped by Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies on Feb. 27 and charged with violating her probation. Police said she was pulled over at about 11 p.m. after authorities saw the car speeding with its headlights off.
Hilton's spokesman, Elliot Mintz, said at the time she wasn't aware her license was suspended. A call Thursday to Mintz was not immediately returned.

Prosecutors say by signing the document after the first incident Hilton knew she was not to drive. They also note that as of April 17 she had yet to enroll in the required alcohol education program.
