The new, improved Paris Hilton actually has a few selfless interests

MALIBU, Calif. — The “all-new” Paris Hilton looks a lot like last year’s model — with some fine-tuning.

Since her post-jail interview on “Larry King Live” in late June, in which the heiress professed in confident tones that she had changed, her voice has almost entirely reverted back to the baby whisper that viewers came to know during her five seasons on “The Simple Life.” And by early afternoon, she’s glammed up for a night out on the town.

Some things have changed, though. Her “hot list” now includes selfless areas of interest.

Shortly after her release, she visited the Los Angeles Children’s Hospital and is in talks to be its ambassador.

“I went and visited the little premature babies who were only, like, 1 pound. And the cancer patients,” she says. “It’s nice when I can go there and visit them and brighten their day and make them smile. … I think it’s definitely important for people to give back.”

Admiring the charity work of Angelina Jolie, Hilton applies her “hot” label to issues such as breast cancer and multiple sclerosis “because I lost my grandmothers to both of those diseases. And also helping the environment. Global warming is ‘not’ hot.”

One part of Parisdom, it seems, will never change: The paparazzi presence. Two are sitting across the street from the Malibu beach house she’s renting for the summer, waiting for her to take off somewhere in her baby-blue Bentley.

“I came out to the beach to relax and get away because [the paparazzi] infested my Hollywood Hills home, and now they’re all over the beach,” she says. When she pulls a white curtain shielding her back patio from the sand, it takes only a few seconds for a dozen paparazzi to jump to their feet and begin snapping. Yet she gamely gives the shutterbugs what they’re there for: She pouts and poses.

That 23-day stint in jail for violating probation doesn’t seem to have limited her career options. A movie musical (”Repo! The Genetic Opera”) and designer shoe line (with Antebi Footwear) were just announced, her second album is in the works, and her fourth perfume is due in the fall.
