LOS ANGELES, Calif. (September 26, 2007) – Paris Hilton hopes to use her celebrity to bring attention to poverty stricken nations and sheplans to start by heading to Rwanda this fall.

Walters recounted to "The View" audience in June following a phone call with the heiress.
Selfish and selfless, he takes to road

Nicky Hilton hopes to build fashion empire
Nicky Hilton has launched her foray into the American fashion industry with her label's debut at New York Fashion Week. The 23-year-old hotel heiress already has a handbag line that's been big in Japan, and a sportswear line that's received a lukewarm reception, she hopes her new line 'Nicholai' - which is her actual name - will change all that. Hilton says she started designing when she was seventeen. "I started with handbags in Japan. I launched my sportswear line three years ago. And I've pretty much been offered a million licensing deals, but I didn't want to just attach my name to a brand," she said. "It's such a big deal and a turning point in my career. I put a lot of time and energy into this." Hilton describes her label as a "really fun collection, very upbeat.
Kravitz: 'I'll Never Tell If I'm Kidman's Mystery Fiance'
Lenny Kravitz is refusing to confirm or deny he's the man who was secretly engaged to Nicole Kidman between her marriages to Tom Cruise and Keith Urban. The actress recently stunned fans when she revealed she had briefly accepted a marriage proposal before she wed Urban last year in Vanity Fair magazine - but she refused to name names. Kravitz and film producer Steve Bing were the most likely candidates as Kidman dated them exclusively after her marriage to Cruise ended. But Kravitz insists the identity of the mystery fiance will remain a secret, as far as he's concerned. He says, "I keep that to myself. I feel like that is private and it's between the two of us, so I just leave it there." Photo Copyright Getty Images Copyright World Entertainment News Network 2007 .
