I don't either, and I don't really much care, but it manages to intrude on my day. A friend on LJ was commenting how little fuss this things seemed to be creating and I wonder how isolated one would have to be to feel there has been an under reaction.

If she was treated worse (getting a long sentence) because of her celebrity then I suppose it is fair for her to later be treated better (getting shipped to house arrest). The end result seems to be that she was in jail for about the average length of time a non-celebrity would have been for similar infractions.

And if being a celebrity (for whatever douche bag reason) means you get harsher punishment for committing crimes just so you can be an example then they do deserve the otherwise unearned abuses of the system they take.

I've opins from a couple of lawyers and one judge that her sentence was par for the crimes - she got no less and no more than the average.

I think I saw that happen to her in a movie. ;)

I do not feel the least bit sorry for Paris. She has had, and still has, a life filled with incredible privilege. I don't know why she is famous; I don't care either and pay as little attention to her as is possible.

My feeling is, you do the crime, buddy you do the time. From what I heard while watching the news last night, the judge ruled, she must serve the time in jail. Heck, she was being housed in a special unit, outside the regular population of petty criminals, drug dealers, prostitutes, etc. If Paris really wanted to take the time in jail to review and think about her life, put her in the mixing bowl with everyone else. That for her would be truly traumatic and life changing. But, no, the trump us some whiny ass excuse and move her to home detention, where is the punishment and lesson in that?

We'll see what happens today when she makes her court appearance, but I say haul her butt back to jail for the full term as WB spake before me. If it were me, you can bet I'd be in jail and not in some special unit, they have me in there with the grunts and pity me if I got a blister, tough teabags.

Ouch, my head hurts, I've just spent way too much time and energy thinking about Paris Hilton. Not worth the waste of my brain cells.

Ally, apparently I have to spread the mojo around :snap:

Just make sure to use protection.

And back to jail she goes.

Screaming and crying.


Can we sue her family for misuse of our tax dollars? Not for having her in jail, but for the in, the out, the special treatment, blah blah blah.

Still no sympathy for Hilton, but for the unnecessary expense I blame the judge. Treat her like any similar case and those expenses all go away.

It is, of course, a different jurisdiction but Lost's Michelle Rodriguez was sentenced to 60 days for a similar parole violation and after serving one day was shifted to community service and a lengthy probation.

But, Hilton could have avoided all of this so even if the punishment is unreasonable it's still her fault ultimately.
