Paris Hilton and her boyfriend, Benji Madden, took a trip to South Africa - and I’m assuming it was for shopping.

She wore camouflage, but Paris Hilton couldn’t hide from the cheetah or any other animals while staying on a luxury safari lodge in South Africa this week. The heiress, who has a penchant for wearing animal prints and accumulating pets, and boyfriend Benji Madden encountered lions, leopards, elephants, buffalos and rhinos at the elite Aquila Private Game Reserve near Cape Town. Although camping outdoors, the city slickers hardly had to rough it. When not bonding with the cats, they could enjoy their air-conditioned accommodations or take an ATV ride.

So after she learned everything there is to learn about South Africa, Paris returns home and decides to put her knowledge and experience to use by hopping on the Miss Turkey 2008 beauty contest judging panel. Why? She thinks she’s young girls’ inspiration. Because every girl’s inspiration is to grow up and star in a sex tape and go to jail for drunk driving.
