Social Studies 101 for Paris - Celebrity Gossip

“I love Africa in general - South Africa and West Africa, they are both great countries.”

That would probably be the most famous quote from our dear heiress, Paris Hilton, if not in Hollywood for this week.

Right after Paris and the Good Charlotte (where her beau Benji is a part) arrived in Johannesburg for the band’s world tour, the reporters asked the notorious socialite about what she thought of South Africa which she answered with the one quoted above.

Paris may have shown the dumb blonde in her for thinking West Africa is also a country like South Africa, but tell you what, I didn’t know, too. So that makes the two of us dumb now.

And while our dear heiress try to cover up that faux pas by being nice with her South African fans, I try to vindicate my ignorance by doing well with my posts here. Thank God for this blog and factors like web hosting, I am given the chance to learn and correct my mistakes, right?!

Well maybe we can all just put it as some Social Studies 101 for Paris and me. Now I know that West Africa isn’t a country but a “3 billion square mile area made up of 16 countries - Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Cape Verde, The Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo.”
