Paris finds God in jail

IT HAS only taken a matter of days, but imprisoned hotel heiress Paris Hilton has seen the light.
The socialite says God has spoken to her from behind her bars and she is no longer "a superficial girl" and realises the "acting dumb" is not a good look for a woman of 26.
Hilton revealed her enlightenment in a call to television journalist Barbara Walters yesterday, who recounted the conversation on her ABC television show, The View.
"I'm not the same person I was," Hilton told Walters.
"I used to act dumb. It was an act ... and that act is no longer cute. It is not who I am.
"I know now that I can make a difference, that I have the power to do that. I have been thinking that I want to do different things when I am out of here.
"I have become much more spiritual. God has given me this new chance."
She says she was released from jail earlier because she was having "a horrible experience".
"I was not eating or sleeping," the heiress said.
When she is released, Hilton says, she might become a campaigner in the fields of breast cancer or multiple sclerosis, or build a "Paris Hilton playhouse" for sick children.
She doesn't even care that her skin is dry from lack of moisturiser, having come to the belated conclusion that there are more important things than her reflection.
"It doesn't matter," she said, "I haven't looked in the mirror since I got here."
