Paris Gives Up a Benjamin

Paris Hilton may be many things, but she sure isn't stingy, especially when she's coming out of a McDonalds drive-thru and a pan-handler asks her for money.

"You Paris Hilton! Can I get a hundred dollars?" was the exact quote.

Before Paris could answer, then man came down quite a bit, asking "how 'bout a dollar?" But Paris heard the first request and reached beside her and handed the man a crumpled $100 bill.

She then posed with him and remained polite, even when he asked about "Lionel Richie's daughter", a reference to Paris' drama-filled relationship with Nicole Richie. The dude must be reading TMZ.

Later he offered to wash Paris' car, but she has people to do that. She spent less than $10 on her own lunch, but that guy can now afford a sushi feast at Koi. If he can get a table, that is.

34. Not a huge Paris fan, but I've read quite a few nice things about her. She does appear to be nice to her fans & if she wants to help someone out I say more power to her. It was kind of her to give that poor man money & to not get bent when he asked about Nicole. Good job Paris, keep it up.

36. Before we canonize PH as a saint...

Paris Hilton just isn’t willing to let bygones be bygones when it comes to her nemesis Lindsay Lohan. Last week Hilton showed that she intends to keep their feud going when she made the moves on Lohan’s current beau, Harry Morton.

According to Star magazine, Paris and Harry were both at Hollywood hostpot, Hyde on September 14. Since Lindsay was conveniently in New York for Fashion Week, Paris took advantage of her chance to woo Harry. A witness at the club claims that Harry joined in with Paris and her pals right after he arrived that night.

Said the source, "Since Lindsay and Paris aren't on talking terms, everyone was surprised that Harry would walk straight over to Paris the moment he came in. Paris flirted with Harry every chance she got. When he talked to someone else, it looked like she would randomly spark up a conversation just to get his attention. And every so often, she'd do a dance right in front of him."

Hilton even used the lyrics of her hit single to suggest that Morton ditch Lohan and hook up with her. "When Paris' song 'Stars Are Blind' played, she looked into Harry's eyes and mouthed the lyrics, 'Baby I'm perfect for you,'" says the onlooker.

37. Dave- At least you finally learned you don't need to write in all capital letters in order for people to see your message. Now if you could only learn how to write an intelligible message.

Seriously though, she did something good. Why does it matter if the cameras were there? Does that make the money less helpful to the homeless guy? Would it kill you "I hate Paris" people to just admit she did something right?

38. One more thing....you know people are grasping at straws to prevent people from liking Paris Hilton if they use "Star" magazine as their choice resource. Not a personal insult to XOXO, but come on! National Enquirer also said something about her giving birth to alien triplets at one point, but I'm pretty sure that didn't happen either.

43. Isn't that Perez Hilton in blackface?

44. No Sniping for me. On camera.... as for getting sued. That would probably still work in my favor. Interviews, book signings, and above all...love from the people who can't escape this garbage. Really, how great would it be to be a household name. Everytime you'd see ME on tv, you'd say "oh, that's the guy that knocked that billionaire bitch the fuck out. he's rad."

As for all you jackasses saying what a nice jesture it was for her to give that bum $100...THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK. You know where that $100 just went?? That sonofabitch went straight to SKID ROW, bought enough crack to kill himself, and possibly did OD. If she really wanted to help, IF SHE REALLY GAVE A FUCK ABOUT THAT GUY, she would've given him some food, offered a ride to a shelter, made him a deal that if he cleaned up his act and kept coming back to the shelter, that she'd personally see to his getting back on his feet. NOT HELP HIM GET $100 CLOSER TO DYING ON THE STREET.

JACKASSES ALL OF YOU WHO ARE PRAISING HER FOR THIS BLATANT ACT OF BULLSHIT. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES!

45. wow! that was a nice gesture Paris. now i don't particularly like Paris Hilton's image, but this act of (apparent) random kindness is pretty impressive....and her song STARS ARE BLIND does have a catchy beat and hook. 2 steps forward.....
