American socialite Paris Hilton has declared herself a saviour who shops for the greater good in tight economic times. In Sydney to host an exclusive New Year's dance party, the 27-year-old heir to the Hilton hotel fortune this week drew criticism for spending 5,560 Australian dollars (3,844 US dollars) in a 40-minute shopping spree.
Local charities accused her of callous excess but Hilton Wednesday defended the splurge. "I'm in Australia, I think it's important to help out, you know, the economy out here, everywhere in the world," she told reporters, ahead of her New Year engagement. Hilton will be paid 100,000 Australian dollars by the party's promoters for her Sydney appearance, promising a number of costume changes ahead of midnight.
