Paris Hilton turns to charity work after recent drugs conviction

Paris Hilton is making plans to visit sick kids at The Children's Hospital in Los Angeles this week to teach them how to paint.

The hotel heiress appears to have adopted a "healthy" new lifestyle with gym sessions and a new diet.

It seems she is hoping to put her recent drugs conviction firmly behind her by turning her attentions to charity work.

"Went to Michael's Art Supply Store today, bought a lot of fun art projects. Going to The Children's Hospital this week to do art with them," The Daily Star quoted Hilton as tweeting.

The news comes just days after LiLo made a trip to visit homeless teenagers at a shelter in LA.
