Like Darth Vader before her, good things can even come out of a person like Paris Hilton. The wealthy socialite best known for her role on television's The Simple Life as well as an amateur porn video has made an "extremely generous" donation to Children's Hospital Los Angeles for the construction of a medical building. No exact amount was specified. The new building, called the Children's Center for Cancer and Blood Diseases, will open in 2010."The children I have met through my involvement with Children's Hospital have truly touched my heart," Hilton said in a statement. "I am proud to make a donation and lend my name to the fundraising effort to help children who are facing terribly serious illnesses."
Far be it from me to be a cynic in light of such charity, but this is a woman who has lived such a life of debauchery that the gossip rags have their own special section regarding her. I'm not sure what to think.
So what do you folks think? Actual generosity, or publicity stunt? Or maybe a little of both?

Upon reading the headline, the first thought in my head is "Was Good his first or last name?"

You know, to the kids that will receive treatment at this center it won't matter what the motivation was for giving the money to them. I have to believe that since no dollar figure was attached to the story that it's not really being done for the publicity.
It's always been said that the "public" Paris is nothing like the "private" Paris - that the shtick is just an act for the entertainment of all of those watching. Bottom line, this gesture will result in helping a lot of kids for a long time. I can't see how any of that is bad.
