Much greener pastures
I find it kind of funny that someone from the Hilton family is going to the Gray Bar Hotel.

There's a "Legally Blonde"-type movie in this somewhere, with Paris becoming dismayed to find there's no valet parking, no room service, no king-size bed, no concierge, no pool, and worst of all, no bar!!

Might even make a good series for MTV.

too bad she's going to a minimum security resort instead of a federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison.




Then again, she'd probably enjoy a pound-me-in-the-ass prison.

thats not really a reason on why you care. Thats why shes in trouble.

Oh, please, you don't really believe that, do you? If that were you, me or any other average joe in that sort of legal hot water, we would've been locked up a long time ago for a lot longer. In a day where celebs like OJ and Robert Blake can get away with murder, and Jacko can get away with wanking off some kids, it's refreshing to see a celeb end up in jail, even if it is a min. security resort and only for 45 days.

@synth3tik - that is EXACTLY why I care.

The rich and famous get treated differently. They take the piss.

I.e., Snoop Doggy

If he ( sorry, *it* ), if it was a common human being, it would have been thrown in jail long ago. Why is it still free?

Good to see that it was refused a visa to the UK and Australia: If you are a criminal, you are refused entry.

All too often the rich and famous get treated as if they are above the law, with multiple chances, and even then they are given leniency. Throw them in jail - give them the taste of reality ; they aren't above the law. Give them an Ass pounding!!

If a commoner committed her crimes, they wouldn't get second chances. Neither should famous people - but they do. I hope her appeal fails. If a commoner would be jailed for this, then so should Hilton.

This is a good outcome, she's taken the piss for too long. Hilton doesn't know what reality is, and she'll get a taste of it.

And no, its not too harsh, its deserved. How many warnings does she want? She turned up to sentencing 10 minutes late too.

Hey, justice is just a game. Call me a cynic, but the wealthy usually really do end up above the law in this country.

Money is honestly the world's curse (and no, I'm not a socialist).

Unfortunately, you are very correct!

aside from WHO it is, doesn't anybody think that for a
normal person 45 days in jail would pretty much ruin them.
they would lose their job and possibly their place to live.
from what i've seen on TV the normal amount of jail time
for this type of crime is 5 to 10 days in jail.

just because it is paris, doesn't mean it can't happen to anybody.

i think that we as a community should be very nervous
when this sort of thing starts to happen to anyone.

I believe the charges were driving while intoxicated, wreckless driving, driving while on a suspended license, wreckless driving again, violation of probation. For most people who commit that act, their sentence would be measured in years.

I find it pathetic her attempts to stay out of jail by appealing to the governor. She really does believe she is above the law. If anything, she should have gotten more jail time. She blatantly used her publicist as a excuse by having him lie about telling her it was okay to drive. She made a show of it by firing him and then immediately rehiring him after the trial. It doesn't take a genius to realize her sham. I hear there is a petition to keep her out of jail. Someone should start one to make sure she goes. Hopefully it will knock some sense into her "stupid spoiled whore" lifestyle. Unfortunately, whereas any normal person's life could be ruined from a prison sentence, she'll probably get even more rich and famous from it.

I think she should be forced to work as a sex worker in one of the various slums in Asia.

Or perhaps someone could just car-bomb her jail for us.

God damn I hate brain-dead, can't count to 3, inherit all of daddy's money, above the law, 'town-bicycle' type of people... (the list could go on...)

Um, she is already going to jail, what does this petition even stand for?

There is a petition created by Paris's people to urge Arnold to give her a governor's pardon. This is the counter-protest to make sure that does not happen.

Good. She deserves it. She doesn't look good, lives off mommy and daddy, and has to be the stupidest person on the face of the planet. Just because she is a so called "celebrity" doesn't mean she is special.

Would hate to be her in prison, little rich girl in with a bunch of big women for 45 days.:eek: :p

They'll keep her in a prison away from everyone else, just like they did with Martha. This isn't gonna teach Paris anything, she thinks she can get away with anything, she has all her life up until now.
