Nope, you did not misread the headline, but Paris Hilton donated to LA's Children's Hospital. With her billions of dollars (from her family and herself) it is nice to see her finally giving back to the community. The heiress best known for her partying lifestyle and her internet clips has vowed to change her life, and it seems like shes on the right track.

Paris Hilton arrives at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday June 1, 2008 in Los Angeles. The socialite made an 'extremely generous' donation toward the construction of a medical building at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, hospital officials said Thursday, June 26, 2008 although they did not specify the amount of the gift.[Agencies]

Paris Hilton is making good on her promise to become a better person.

The 27-year-old socialite made an "extremely generous" donation toward the construction of a medical building at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, hospital officials said Thursday, although they did not specify the amount.

Her generous donation is enough to help the hospital open up a 460,000 square foot childrens center for cancer and blood diseases.

"The children I have met through my involvement with Childrens Hospital have truly touched my heart," Hilton said in a statement. "I am proud to make a donation and lend my name to the fundraising effort to help children who are facing terribly serious illnesses."

The 460,000-square-foot Childrens Center for Cancer and Blood Diseases is expected to open in 2010.

After spending about 23 days in jail last year for violating probation on alcohol-related reckless driving charges, Hilton told CNN's Larry King the experience caused her to re-evaluate the role partying played in her life. She said she wanted "to help raise money for kids and for breast cancer and multiple sclerosis."

Hopefully she will continue to get her life back on track by helping out the needy with her wealth as well as her name. First it was J.Lo performing for autistic kids, then Kelly Rowland helps to raise awareness for HIV in Kenya, then Tim McGraw standing up for a female fan, and now Paris helping out childrenn.
