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

Apart from Martha Stewart?

I thought Pee Wee Herman and Sean Penn both served time, but no, WP says only arrests.

In the UK, we do things the other way around - one of our biggest soap stars, Leslie Grantham (aka Dirty Den in Eastenders) is a *convicted murderer* and duly served his sentence (10 years). He became hooked on acting while doing a prison play.

Grantham served time before becoming famous. Would it have worked the other way round, though?

But more to the point, he should have been arrested because of his acting.
 
Hilton OUT of jail

And it's about time, too! Hasn't this poor girl endured enough suffering in her lifetime already? It's obvious the only reason she was sentenced jail for this minor offense was the celebrity that was forced upon her by her public! Really, all the poor girl wants to do is sit at home and be left alone. Hooray for the American justice system! It's PERFECT!
 
So I guess the deal is to say you won't eat prison food (probably not too hard to pass up) and you get to go home early. Neat trick. I'm writing that one down in case one day "the man" picks me up for something stupid I did.

why is this woman famous again?
 
I second your opinion. How can this law abiding citizen be sent to jail? I mean she's never done anything wrong in her life, apart from make a video that I errr ... heard of :p

I really hope this is sarcasm

Only 10 years for murder?
 
The criminal Hilton has been let out of Jail for 'health reasons' and back in her cosy home - some sentence.. after just 3 days.

If it was a commoner, they'd serve their term in the slammer.

Once again, unfortunately, another example that the Rich and Famous have a separate law from the rest of us.


No doubt she'll go to parties etc and break her conditions of house arrest... and plead being a 'blonde' and get off scott free :-\
 
Yeah, I noticed that she has the same ugly expression in every picture. Apparently coming up with new ones takes too much brain power that's better spent coming up with new ways to get money for doing nothing. *cough*Zoolander*cough*

Anyways, I think every prisoner in CA should stage a hunger strike, let's see what happens then.
 
So, now what? Is it back to jail, again, for her? :confused:

• NEW: Paris Hilton picked up at house for court date
• Hilton under house arrest, is wearing ankle bracelet
• "Medical considerations" led to new arrangement
• Hilton served five days in jail for violating probation



LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Paris Hilton was ordered to appear in court Friday instead of calling in from home, yet another reversal in her twisted path toward serving time on a probation violation.
 
*laughs and falls on floor*
