Paris lets sick children down

`Hollywood party girl Paris Hilton was happy to play charity queen while the cameras were rolling.

But two years after a well-publicised visit to Gold Coast charity Paradise Kids, the millionaire heiress has broken a promise she made to help seriously ill children.

Hilton pledged to organise a star-studded benefit concert in Los Angeles to raise much-needed funds for the charity. [..]

“I’ll get a few friends together. I know the Backstreet Boys will help out for sure and I talked to Blu Cantrell last night,” Hilton claimed at the time. Missy Elliott was another big-name act mentioned.

“I definitely want to do this,” Hilton told gathered media. “My grandmother died of cancer and I almost lost my cousin to leukemia. It’s just something very important to me. [..]

To date, no benefit concert has taken place and efforts by Paradise Kids to contact Hilton have been unsuccessful.’
