Lindsay Lohan is thrilled to be doing humanitarian work in India and has posted a message on her Twitter blog calling it one of her “lifelong dreams”.

The Mean Girls actress travelled to New Delhi with a British documentary crew to work with women and children affected by sex-trafficking in India.

She tweeted: 'Going to make one of my lifelong dreams on my list of things to do in this lifetime! Wish me luck!

'Over 40 children saved… Within one day's work… Doing this is a life worth living! Oh and I'm talking about being in India.

Seriously... why must we glorify celebrities for "humanitarian" work. And why do they have to make a public display of it? She tweeted it... seriously....

Phenomenal Woman

by Maya Angelou

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
