Hotel heiress PARIS HILTON is fighting off accusations she made racist comments at a New York party.

Last week (ends01OCT04), American newspaper NEW PORK POST reported that in a recently surfaced 12-hour videotape, Hilton is shown speaking with two African-American men, who ask her if she would model their fashion line.

The publication reported that Hilton, standing with pal BRANDON DAVIS, was polite to the men, but called them "dumb n*****s" after they left, according to British reporter CAROLE AYE MAUNG, who reviewing the alleged tape.

Maung says, "Two... guys begin talking to her. She's being very, very sweet to them. (But) she definitely uses the N-word.

It's so cruel, because they were so lovely, and she was being so lovely to them."

But furious Hilton hits back, "Anyone who knows me knows that this is not me. I am deeply hurt by recent reports. I am not a person who discriminates against anyone - ever."

Hilton's best pal NICOLE RICHIE adds, "She doesn't have a prejudiced bone in her body."

According to Maung, the tape also includes footage of Hilton "making love" with ex-boyfriend NICK CARTER in the back of a car and greeting one-time boyfriend JASON SHAW in the nude.

9/20/2005 - Has Paris Hilton joined the ranks of John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie? The lazy-eyed celebutante recently boasted to Us Weekly that she and her family had donated $6 million to the victims of Katrina—a million more than India, the world’s second-most populous country, and a million less than she took home last year.

“It’s important for people to realize [the victims] have nothing,” Hilton told Us. “We’re glad to do our part.” We hear some Us staffers were skeptical about the boast—as were Hilton’s own handlers, who sources say warned her about repeating the sketchy-sounding claim.

“She just flat-out lied,” griped one incredulous reporter. “Did she think no one would bother to check?”

Well, Radar did check, and it turns out Hilton was telling the truth. Sort of. The donation was made through the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, a charitable trust set up by the late hotelier and Hilton family patriarch in 1944. (Paris’s uncle Steve Hilton is the foundation’s current president, and her grandfather Barron Hilton sits on the board.)

Though neither Paris nor her parents Rick and Kathy are listed on the press release announcing the gift—or anywhere on the foundation’s website—we’ll take her word for it that she had a hand in this and the other countless good works performed by the not-for-profit. And what good works they are!

In fact, Hilton’s decision to donate her share of the proceeds from One Night in Paris and pose naked in a pair of Jimmy Choos for the Elton John AIDS Foundation were only the tip of her altruistic iceberg. According to the foundation’s web site, Paris’s other charitable gifts would include:

$5 million to help develop “water systems to benefit the marginalized villagers of Mexico’s Mixteca region”

$20 million to the Corporation for Supportive Housing to help mentally ill homeless people in Los Angeles

$4 million to the Family Violence Prevention Fund

$30 million to “deliver clean water in West Africa while advancing the eradication of Guinea worm disease [an affliction caused by drinking water tainted with the parasite, which grows to between two and three feet long in the intestines before emerging by eating its way out of a pustule, usually in the lower body]”

$42 million through the affiliated Conrad N. Hilton Fund for Sisters Foundation to support the apostolic work of Catholic nuns

“From what I understand the family is fairly charitable,” said Hilton’s rep, Robert Zimmerman, when asked about his client’s surprising largesse, though he could not immediately verify whether Paris or her famously cash-strapped parents were actually linked to the charity. Calls to the foundation’s Santa Monica Boulevard office were not returned. Frustratingly, Zimmerman was also unable to field the more pressing question: Paris is Catholic? [radaronline.com]
