| Paris Hilton will pack her bags for Rwanda to bring attention to the African country
Paris Hilton plans to visit Rwanda as part of her post-jail commitment to use her celebrity status to bring attention to social causes. "I'll be going in November, after I get back from filming my movie," she tells E! Online in a story posted Tuesday on the Web site. "There's so much need in that area, and I feel like if I go, it will bring more attention to what people can do to help," Hilton says. The 26-year-old hotel heiress-actress vowed to use her fame to bring attention to social causes after serving a 23-day jail sentence earlier this year for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case. "I want to visit more countries where poverty and children's issues are a big concern," she says. "I know there's a lot of good I can do just by getting involved and bringing attention to these issues." Hilton co-stars with Paul Sorvino and Alexa Vega in "Repo! The Genetic Opera," a movie about organ harvesting.

Veni, Vidi, Wiki: Latin Isn't Dead On 'Vicipaedia'
It's not that ancient Romans didn't know a thing or two about wild sex. They had their Bacchanalia, after all. But lacking video technology, they had no expression for "sex tape."

In their article about the hotel heiress, they described Ms. Hilton's famous X-rated Web video as pellicula in interrete vulgate de coitu Paridis1. .
