Poor, poor Paris Hilton

[Morrigoon]

You know, when you're in court for MULTIPLE incidences of disregarding the law, and your parole orders, and getting caught on multiple occasions (meaning you probably violated the law on many more occasions that you got away with), AND you show up late for court... it's gonna piss the judge off.

That last part I don't think was her fault... the sheriff was the one who was supposed to pick her up, after all, and she thought she could appear via telephone (which is not a bizarre thing).

The judge wants to make an example out of her, and she is probably detoxxing from Oxycontin or something like that (I have seen people detox from this drug and my lord it is not a fun experience). Hence the medical issues and the hysterics. (They're running stories that she has extreme claustrophobia, lol)

But I certainly do not think she should do the full 45 days (if, indeed she ever was). The "getting out of jail" thing was NOT her decision, but rather, that of the sheriff, and Paris shouldn't have to pay for that.

On a side note, here was the email I got from Al this morning:

Subject: There are seven helicopters above my apartment...

...the area is clogged with reporters and paparazzi, and to top it off - the
streets all around the West Hollywood area are closed for Gay Pride weekend.

I hate Paris Hilton.

What a mess. But...here we are talking about it!!!

Not to speak for Mori, as she does that so very well on her own, but I thought she was talking about being late to the court date arising from her second probation violation, the incident that resulted in the original 45 day sentence... not this latest incident

Neither do I, and it's my understanding she won't if she doesn't cause any more trouble. She still applies for time off for good behavior (LOL) and will not serve the full 45 days if she keeps her nose clean.

The thing is, I'd *hate* to be in solitary confinement. While I tend to like being inside my own head, it's nice to know I have a choice about it. If I'm forced to spend time in my head, I go bonkers. I understand that some girl's probably going to try and kick her a$s in general pop so... she really doesn't have a choice about it, either way.

The more of the antics I see, the crying, the shaking (especially the shaking), calling out for mommy like she's 5... I have to agree with Fej, it really makes me think she's on drugs or alcohol and having withdrawals. She's emotionally stunted, something else I've seen before with habitual and chronic drug users.

I think I am weird. Right now I would love to have a few days of solitary.

Careful what you wish for there Kevy. Fate has a way of granting your wishes but note exactly under the circumstances you envision!

[alphabassettgrrl]

It wouldn't be such an issue if she were a functional adult. But she's such a useless thing, she can't stand a few days alone.

She never worried about driving on a suspended licence because her family's money has always protected her.

Finally caught up with her. Call it incentive to stop breaking laws.

[MouseWife]

Exactly~ why did she drive on a suspended license? She has people who open her mail {she said this is why she missed some important mail} so of course she is going to have a driver to take her anywhere, anytime. She just didn't worry because her parents money always fixed things.

Her face, her behaviour, extremely childish and really does look like someone coming off of something. Well, if her parents took charge in the first place, for her since she wouldn't, she should have been in rehab right off the bat. She obviously had a problem with all of the trouble she kept getting in to.

I will have to throw in my .02c about the sentencing. I think it is probably fair, especially with the fact when she went in it was already figured she'd only do 23 days. It wasn't a first offense, she had priors and her attitude about the whole mess, she didn't deserve another chance.

Does anyone remember why Lil' Kim was in jail? And for how long?

[lashbear]

Lil Kim committed perjury.. I think she got a year.

Thank you, Lashdear.
