The 26-year-old socialite has vowed to change her party-girl image after serving a 23-day jail sentence in June for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

"There are a lot of bad people in L.A. Before, my life was about having fun, going to parties -- it was a fantasy," she tells Newsweek magazine in its October 22 issue, now on newsstands. "But when I had time to reflect, I felt empty inside. I want to leave a mark on the world."

Hilton says she is now committed to using her celebrity status for the greater good. Next month, she plans to pack her bags for Rwanda to bring attention to the African country.

"I'm scared, yeah. I've heard it's really dangerous," she says. "I've never been on a trip like this before."



"Before, my life was about having fun, going to parties," says Paris Hilton. She says she's changed.

:nuke:

I was totally thinking the same thing.

And bless her heart.

When I spent my Night In Paris.......

Who knows? Maybe she isn't full o' shit.

If that were the case.

:puke:

:shrug:

God, I'm glad I'm not the poor bastard who has to Armour-All the seat in her car.

notice all the adverts lately?

Why has she decided to inflict herself on them, for pity sake?

For better or worse, she commands a lot of attention. It would be wonderful if she actually used that position to do some good. :shrug: I'll reserve judgment.

Maybe she's serious.

...that Paris Hilton wishes she could make the news.

We might as well offer Nobel Prizes for wanting to accomplish significant things.
