Paris Hilton slammed for turning her back on kids

Paris Hilton is being slammed for turning her back on some kids in need. Hilton is happy to play charity queen while the cameras were rolling.but two years after a well-publicized visit to Gold Coast charity Paradise Kids, the millionaire heiress has broken a promise she made to help seriously ill children reports news.com.au.

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

She claimed it was one of her first priorities after returning to the US from the Gold Coast, where she spent six weeks filming House of Wax in 2004.

"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.

"I love kids and I just feel it's the right thing to do. It makes me feel good about myself and it helps other people."

Meanwhile, "Stars Are Blind," the debut single from heiress, actress, and newly minted pop star Paris Hilton, is burning up at radio and on MTV.com. The reggae-tinged track was released in Europe on June 2nd and leaked that day by Ryan Seacrest during his morning show on Los Angeles radio station KIIS FM. Within minutes, the track began to pop up on stations across the U.S., leading Warner Bros. Records to make the song available to radio for digital delivery ahead of schedule on June 5th. It is now in rotation at 50 stations across the country and is already a Top 5 request at Z100/NY and KISS/Los Angeles, in less than a week.
