Paris 'unrecognisable' for new role - Nov 5 2007
Decked out in black leather and a short black wig, Paris Hilton has said she will be "unrecognisable" in her new role in film Repo! The Genetic Opera! in which she plays Amber Sweet.

"She just changes her look every day throughout the film," the socialite told Extra. "I have different noses, different eyes, different hair."

Paris admits she is spending four hours in the make-up chair each day for the horror musical, in which she stars alongside British actor Anthony Head.

"Paris' singing is great," he said.

Meanwhile the director Darren Lynn Bousman said he had no qualms about casting Paris after she wowed casting directors at her audition.

"She walked out of the room and everyone's jaw dropped and said 'she's our girl'," he revealed.

And Paris reckons fans will be in for a treat when the movie, which is currently filming in Toronto, comes out next year.

"I think everyone will be very surprised when they see it," she smiled.



Paris’ Rwanda trip postponed - Oct 29 2007
It looks like Paris Hilton’s charity trip to Rwanda has been postponed.

The visit to the war-torn African country was supposed to be the hotel heiress’ first major philanthropic effort since her jail sentence in June, but has now been put on hold by the foundation that organised it.

In a statement released to People.com, the Playing For Good Foundation said: "Due to the restructuring of the Playing For Good Foundation, the philanthropic trip to Rwanda that the foundation had previously planned with Paris Hilton has been postponed.

"Paris has been a loyal and gracious supporter of Playing For Good but the foundation has to regrettably reschedule this trip. Playing For Good would like to thank Ms Hilton for her generosity and her continued support of this initiative, and is looking forward to rescheduling the trip with her at a later time."

Paris announced her trip to Rwanda in September, and told E!: "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."


Paris heading for jungle? - Oct 18 2007
Paris Hilton has become the latest star tipped to be heading to the jungle next month for I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

The 26-year-old blonde hotel heiress is apparently in talks with the show’s bosses over a record-breaking £500,000 deal, which would see her battle beasties in the Australian rainforest, reports the Daily Star.

A source said: "She’s terrified of bugs and snakes but she is willing to give this a go to show the world that she isn’t just a party animal."

And the insider apparently added: "Appearing in the jungle is hard work - it’s really tough, especially for someone like Paris, so she wants to be well rewarded."

Other celebs who are rumoured to be taking part when the show returns in November include Right Said Fred’s Richard Fairbrass and Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren.

Ant and Dec will be back to host the reality show, known for its bizarre and sometimes disgusting Bush Tucker trials.
