On November 13th the AP reported that Paris Hilton had decided to take her sobriety and share it with the world…at least the elephants in India. Later that same day it was revealed to be false and the AP was forced to retract this story. The entire saga is completely documented for you at the Huffington Post. I personally was surprised and disappointed by Paris’ denial of her philanthropy. I finally thought she might be turning the corner. As a master of seizing the moment she should have jumped at the chance to publicly share her sobriety with the Indian Elephants (and by share her “sobriety” I mean she could promote sobriety among elephants while drinking). In all seriousness, it is apparently problematic when these gentle giants get into local farmer’s rice beer and turn into mean drunks! Their rampages are legendary in this part of the world. These people need help keeping elephants off the sauce! Just when they thought they found a celebrity spokesperson to start AEA (Alcoholic Elephants Anonymous) their hope was vanquished. What a tragedy, if Paris won’t speak for the inebriated pachyderms then who will? Anyone?
