Claiming that she "enlivens mundane lives", Paris Hilton is backing the online petition for her pardon.

"The petition to California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger also claims she was being used as a scapegoat to highlight the dangers of drink-driving."

Ms Hilton 'provides hope for young people', the petition says.

Damn, why didn't Mel Gibson think of the scapegoat line?

Also, I agree with the petition. Paris Hilton gives me hope.





Hope that I'm right when I say people suck.
 
Sorry for being dense, but I never watch news of this sort. What did she do?

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who is blissfully unaware of the Paris Hilton saga. I make a point to avoid this type of "news" that the MSM tries to shove down our throats these days. I'm completely disinterested in what Paris Hilton does or whether she goes to jail. IMHO it is a sign of the apocalypse that so many are more interested in this bimbo than they are in the attacks on the constitution perpetrated by certain politicians.

Best post in the thread.

Call me a conspiracy nut, but what if this entire tale, and other of its type, are made up, just to draw citizens' attention away from more serious matters, such as the economy and the Iraq war? Of course, that simply couldn't be, could it? :eek:
 
Furthermore, she's not appealing. So June 5 is jail time for Paris, though the sentence may be for only 23 days due to crowded conditions and good behavior benefits, before the fact.

Paris' minions probably can't spell the word "economy," let alone find Iraq on a map. No conspiracy. ;)
 
Paris spotted trying to leave the country

What sort of bothers me about her sentence being reduced is that it's based on "good behaviour" - because she's shown up on time and kept quiet in court. I mean really? :rolleyes: REALLY?! Don't you love it when people get rewarded for doing what they're supposed to be doing in the first place? She'll do her time in her quiet, private, secluded cell and be just fine, with even more media attention than she started with. No one need pity Paris.
I'm not sure why I care actually but there it is, my own bit of schadenfreude. :eek:
 
Justin Long has his say :D

Check out 'Paris Hilton Gets No Respect From Fellow Celebs' on the Yahoo Featured videos. Sorry, not sure how to get the specific URL. Just click on the main video link to get to the others.
 
I agree with everyone who says she is a spoilt bitch and deserves her jail time.

However, I have heard that she is indeed a hard worker with a strong work ethic - she does a lot of jobs and is far more intelligent than she seems - she puts on a dumb persona for the cameras because she knows it's what her fame is based on.

I can't remember the figures, but I saw a report that said she earns several millions a year from her media work and pays her own way every year.

Ah well. It's easy to make more money when you're already rich, and also have the right contacts to get good advisors.
 
I can't believe that... she whines about the food and she goes practically free? I mean, she is on home arrest, but I'm sure her home isn't the same as my 2 bedroom condo either.

Everyone, you now have your get out of jail free ticket. Go on a hunger strike and protest against the food!
 
I'm sick and tired of celebs getting special treatment. If that would've been you or me, we'd be serving the entire sentence.

don't think for a second that they needed a conspiracy to distract them. a gnat or two would have done the trick.
 
Yahoo said:
When she was sentenced May 4, Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer ruled that she would not be allowed any work release, furloughs or use of an alternative jail or electronic monitoring in lieu of jail.
Oh, God bless America! Land of the free.
 
Oh piss off!

Bloody hell bloody hell, so she can just swan out cos she doesn't like the food! House arrest? when that house is a megabuck bedroom luxury pad?

Prisoners in the UK with special diets/ beliefs struggled for YEARS to get veggie / vegan food and accepted serving their sentences eating rubbish but veggie food.
 
And her new licence is probably in the post...

Seriously, has there ever been a Hollywood and/or rich celebrity banged up since even before Fatty Arbuckle?
