I’ve long advocated the use of exile rather than incarceration in cases of “Celebrities Behaving Badly”. She should have been sentenced to 30 years, suspended so long as she never sets foot in the state again:
“Ms. Hilton, you lost your California privileges.”
Repeat as necessary for Nevada, Florida, New York, Illinois, Georgia, etc.
Although I don’t feel sorry for Paris, I do sort of feel that it’s somewhat of a bunk deal she got in this instance after reading the case over.
She apparently had a restricted license that only allowed her to go to and from job activity or for medical treatment.
When she was busted she was driving back from a video rental store because she rented some movies of a director who had recently cast her in a movie – which is somewhat job related but maybe crossing the edge a little bit.
I mostly hope that this will get the rich and powerful involved in issues like this because (I am speaking from personal experience) the dui laws in the United States are confusing.These laws seem to be setting up people – who don’t take them seriously – for failure once within the system. The reason that it is important for rich and powerful people to suffer the same crap that normal people have to is that when they start petitioning for clarification of laws and rules the lawmakers listen more attentively.
I can’t feel sorry for Paris because she obviously had the best lawyer money could buy, and I am sure they made the rules crystal clear to her. I am sure that if she had a question on whether driving to pick up these videos was legal or not, she really could have contacted her lawyer before driving.
All in all, 40 days in jail will probably turn a personality such as hers into more of a hideous monster than she already is – then again it may be cathartic. She may come out of the experience understanding that the lives of the “wee little people” aren’t that much of a joke after all.
The girl is a caution and I hate that she must feel like a banjo: everyone is picking on her. Hell, watching that youngun’ slinging snot makes me feel lower than a snakes belly in a wagon wheel rut. When she gets out I’d like to be on her like white on rice even though the paparazzi will be thick as fleas on a hound dog’s back.
Honestly, news of how distraught she was upon being sent back to jail, it was like Christmas in June. This may be the only time in her life where she is being forced to feel like a regular person. Who, you know, broke a law.
After she’s out, she’ll become an advocate for improving prison conditions and the liberals will have her canonized as a saint. You read it here first.
I feel sorry for her. To a certain degree, she’s being made an object lesson. She should do some time for her mistake, of course; but no more than any other citizen of California, and with the benefits of the same legal discretion afforded to them.
This whole fucking thing is now a circus and reminds me more of the railroading of Martha Stewart. I read now Hilton’s afraid to eat or drink for fear her jailers are going to sneak candid photos of her for profit. I realize this has come as a result of her hubris, but it’s still is not really fair, either.
And why isn’t there as much hue and cry over the spy Berger, or the 12 million illegals or the injustice to Libby?
Make her go away.
Please.
Paris Hilton has never had any appeal.
First to make the most obvious comment!
She’ll remake herself as a thin Rosie O’Donnell.
And then we’ll be sorry.

That’s hot.
First!

I think Paris would have much more appeal in the role of the Gimp than as Butch. In so, so many ways…

Regular people don’t get jailed twice for the same misdemeanor.
Ain’t nothin’ regular about it.
If jailers jerked me around that way I might cry too.
Of course she deserves jail. That’s not my point.
Fixed that for you.
I’d still do her
She got tossed because she failed to show up for a court appearance, the charge itself was largely irrelevant.
Cruelty, thy name is Collins…
the puir wee hoor..
Quick! To Tiffany’s for a platinum cup so she can bang on the bars!…
