Hilton to Jail

I think what's most disturbing about this whole thing, is that Paris has such a "following", for lack of a better word, among young women. They think she's the greatest and they want to be just like her.They know who Paris is, what she wears, where she last partied, who her hair stylist is, and who her boyfriend of the night is (or was. )
That's indeed a very strange thing. On the other hand, I don't know any men who think she is even remotely attractive. I think some company used her for advertising mobile phones, and I thought I wouldn't want to touch a phone she's had in her hand, you never know where it has been.

oh come on, EVERYbody has seen the video
The other sister is better looking. Heck, the mother is better looking.

Ask any of these followers of Paris who Marie Curie was, or who Dr. Sally Ride is, and you'll probably draw a total blank. What's wrong with this picture?
Check the smoking gun website for updates.
Wonder how she'll like being de-loused?
If you ask people my age(26) or younger, a large number expect to be famous. What's notable is that they have no idea why or how they'll be famous. There's a subversive presumption that being famous is such a great thing to be that most people want to be well-known without doing anything. Just look at myspace and blogs. This could also explain why Paris Hilton has such a following. It doesn't matter why she's famous as long as she is. And a lot of young girls want to be just like her-rich and famous. Heck, I'm not too ashamed to admit I do too(rich and famous that is-not specifically Paris Hilton).
I Haven't !!!!oh come on, EVERYbody has seen the video
Please tell me more ......

Not much to tell. I watched about 4 minutes or so of it, and stopped because it was crap. She couldn't even make it as a porn star.
Yeah, I'm not holding out for that.

Don't suppose you have a link? I'd like to make my own mind up ..Not much to tell. I watched about 4 minutes or so of it, and stopped because it was crap. She couldn't even make it as a porn star.

I think a lot of you don't realise how much of a shock it is for her to go from her every day life style to an 8' X 12' cell with a stainless steel toilet bolted to the wall.
She's in there all by herself with absolutely nothing to do and no one to talk to until she gets to go outside for one hour a day. Just try to put yourself in her place for a moment and think about it. How would you feel?
She's never been incarcerated before in her entire life. She's never had to endure any form of punishment what-so-ever. Can you just imagine the kind of shock value she's experiencing right now?

Fair point indeed ....... but perhaps she will learn to read while she is inside ..
FJ
Isn't that the entire point of prison? After three violations shock value is the only way she's going to amend her behaviour.
I'm glad she's in there because it's the only way she'll learn the lesson, and I really hope she's really hating it. It's a punishment. If she thought it was cool, she'd learn nothing and be straight out drink-driving again.
Is she really going to do the full 45 days? I thought she was going to just finish up her 23.
According to the news this morning on the BBC, she will serve the whole 45 days. (unless I misheard ...Is she really going to do the full 45 days? I thought she was going to just finish up her 23.
)FJ
Well, I do think she needs to do her time, but I don't hate her like half the people in this thread do. I actually like watching her on TV striking her poses and stuff.
Sorry to post twice ....
I copied the following from the BBC News web site:
She arrived in handcuffs and cried throughout the court session.
The judge said that she would have to serve her full 45-day sentence.
"It's not right!" she shouted in response, before calling out to her mother, who was at the court.
FJ
Well, it wouldn't be so bad for her if she wasn't being kept in solitary confinement, but she's got to be kept separate from the other girls so that no one tries to kill her.
Do they keep murderers in minimum security jails in the USA? Over here those are full of shoplifters and the like
Yeah .... but it just takes one nutter !!
Killing someone famous makes you famous (infamous)

Even a shoplifter can become a murderer if they are compelled enough to kill someone. I suspect at the very least she'd be beaten up pretty bad if she wasn't kept separate.
Looking at it that way, everyone can become a murderer if they are compelled enough to kill someone
Good idea though. Paris should be kept in solitary confinement out of public view even after she gets out. For her own safety of course
I doubt if that will happen. Not because of Paris, but because of the people that surround her. Her vacuous friends, her dreadful parents, all the non-entities who say "yes" to her and indulge her every whim because she's famous (for some reason) and she gets photographed a lot.
Paris will exit prison in 45 days, traumatised and screwed up in the head. She'll run right back into the arms of the very people who do her the most harm. She's surrounded by people who don't seem to think there's anything wrong with leading a pointless, empty life, flitting from party to party, having short and unfulfilling relationships with random men. To these people, the concept of "personal responsibility" is alien. Drive whilst suspended: doesn't matter. Get wasted and crash your 600HP Mercedes into a lamp post: doesn't matter. You're rich, good-looking, white and have a good lawyer. That's all you need.
The tragedy of people like Paris, like Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears is that their lives are always going to be like this. When they lie dying in however many years and think back on their lives, they are going to see inconsequential nonsense, a meaningless existence that was largely squandered. The time I married freeloader Kevin Federline. The time I got caught with coke in the back of my Mercedes. The time I played with knives. The time I went to jail. And so on. Unless they are utterly out-of-touch, they aren't going to be able to look back and see any accomplishments, anything they can justifiably be proud of.
And that's why I can't hate Paris. I feel desperately sorry for her.
So, Glen, let me get this right. Basically, you hate her because she has friends, rich parents and a nice car. Now I'm sure any amateur shrink amongst us would easily fit you to a basic profile, but for my part I just pray you never have any role in any country's judicial system, or we'll be lynching anyone we don't like on the nearest tree.
