This probably won't garner as much attention as the next celebrity DUI, but Barron Hilton, the man who's daughter made slutty fashionable, is donating 97% of his $2.3 billion fortune to charitable endeavors. I'd imagine there's some hand-wringing going on in Hilton households all over Beverly Hills. Way to go, Barron! The next time I stay in a Hilton hotel, I swear I'll leave the towels when I check out.

Is Barron the dad or a grandfather? Paris' dad is named Rick or something, and he doesn't seem like an altruist.
Warren Buffet seems to have set the standard here. Now if only they'd donate to struggling bloggers....
Facts are not my strong suit, Dave, I tend to make them up as I go. Now that you mention it, he looks pretty damn old to have a daughter so young. Buffet: good point! He's Jimmy Buffet's brother, you know. (I may have also made that up, by the way.)
