Paris Hilton is on a mission to end third world poverty… and maybe create another reality TV show in the process. 

The 26-year-old a hotel heiress/jailbird vowed to change her image after being released from her three week prison stint for violating probation in a drink-driving case in June.

"Before, my life was about having fun, going to parties - it was a fantasy," Hilton told Newsweek magazine. "But when I had time to reflect, I felt empty inside. I want to leave a mark on the world."

She has acknowledged she has long enjoyed the Hollywood party scene but she said she spent her time in jail reading the Bible and praying to God for strength, deciding to give new meaning to her life by pursuing charity work.

During her trip to Rwanda, Hilton will be visiting schools and health-care clinics and staying in accommodations a long shot from the Hilton Hotels owned by her family.

"I'm scared, yeah. I've heard it's really dangerous," she told Newsweek . "I've never been on a trip like this before."

She will be traveling with a children's charity called Playing for Good, a group which helps businesses and celebrities get involved in philanthropic work. And of course, there’ll be a camera recording her movements.

"She's using her celebrity and the cameras that follow her for the good of humanity," said Scott Lazerson, the organization's founder.

Newsweek said Lazerson was filming the trip in the hope of selling it as a reality show called "The Philanthropist," featuring various celebrities on drives to help world poor.

Phew! With the last season of Sopranos now screening we’re soon to be in desperate need of some first rate TV shows to fill the gap. Thank you Paris.
