Now that Paris Hilton is a changed person I keep hoping that she will do something really interesting like advocate for better mental health services in jail, or start an offender reentry program, or at least give money to an organization that advocates for a fairer criminal justice system. Of-course, none of this is happening, she is taking on the easy causes. You know Paris now likes children and puppies and kittens and hates cancer.



What I always found interesting about Paris Hilton is that her extreme wealth made her powerful enough that it really did not matter what people thought of her. Unlike her counterparts (Linday Lohan, Britney Spears) who get their money from the entertainment industry and so need the public to like them at least enough to buy records and movie tickets, Paris does not need our money nor our affection. If she wanted to start doing good, Paris would not have to limit herself to the type of work that is purely uncontroversial. I mean I am kidding myself because for all her power, Paris is just not original enough to do something off the beaten charity path. But that is the problem. If Paris is suddenly going to become a "good girl," she will be an awfully boring one.
