Paris Hilton says she vows to study more on African poverty after having attended the Live 8 concert in London knowing little about the cause itself.

Ana Matronic, member of singing group Scissor Sisters, criticized Hilton for showing up to the gig without understanding its primary goal of doubling the aid budget to the continent.

Hilton insists she will make up for it by reading up on it as she prepares her marriage to Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis.

She adds, "It's such a great cause. It makes you realize how fortunate we are. I want to get more involved in this cause, so I'm going to read all the newspapers while I'm in Athens planning my wedding."
