Paris reminds us she's still a dumb blonde. We feel validated.

Apparently heiress-slash-marketing genius Paris Hilton is everyone's favorite ditz overseas as well. Ms. Hilton had an international Jessica Simpson "chicken or fish" moment while on tour in Africa with boyfriend du jour Benji Madden and his band Good Charlotte. It must suck to play second fiddle for a moment, but Paris made sure to grab some press of her own.

"I love Africa in general - South Africa and West Africa, they are both great countries," said Paris. Ouch, looks like someone must have been filing her nails during geography class-last we checked West Africa wasn't a country, but rather a three billion square mile area consisting of 16 countries. Oh, but who even noticed! She was too busy posing in her white bikini. Next up on the tour: Germany, Turkey and Hungary. We're sure she won't know where these places are, but it's all good as long as they have mirrors there. [NY Daily News]
