Paris Hilton was escorted from a courtroom and sent back to jail today after a judge ruled that she must serve out her entire 45-day sentence behind bars rather than in her Hollywood Hills home.

My hear bleeds for her.

"It's not right!" shouted Hilton, who violated her parole in a reckless driving case. "Mom!" she called out to her mother in the audience, get me out of here.


Why should this "Lady of the night" think she should receive special treatment ?

Celebrates seem to think there should be a different law for them.


At the end of the day who is she ? A spoilt little girl who lives off family handouts.


Right all together after three, "The last time I saw Paris".

I don't usually follow stuff like this but couldn't help chuckling at some of the pics of spoiled little Paris weeping and crying over the injustice of it all! Maybe someday she'll develop some sense of proportion and realize that 45 days or whatever it was supposed to be in a posh section of jail is not the worst thing that could happen - by a long shot! Especially since she'll never have to worry about applying for a job and having to explain away a prison record.

It is extremely rare to see the full power of the law being enforced against a rich person for endangering other peoples' lives in a car. It is no less gratifying for all that. If it injects a little reality and maturity into her life, it may actually be doing her a favour in the long term. Most super rich people usually get away with what she did. That is probably why she feels a little aggrieved at being punished for it.

Hell, she's be more popular and in demand than ever after 45 days in the Hooskow.

It sounds like that quick detour home was an attempt at an end-run around her sentence, whether she perpetrated it or a jail or sheriff's office person was responsible. If she'd stayed put she'd have been out in three weeks.

I think certainly, unless there is something we don't know, like she is another TB carrier or whatever...she should have served the reduced sentence at least. I don't think it is fair to her to bring back the original sentence of 45 days..and the sheriff seems remiss in a couple of areas..but again there could be facts we don't know. I was hoping it was going to be a day for justice in America..but I think the pendulum swung too far and they shouldn't have reinstituted the original sentence unless she did something awful in the meantime...she does certainly seem to have mental problems...if she didn't she should be told to put on her big girl panties and deal with it but since she is disturbed..I don't know...but she should not have a license for a really long time.

The judge was told that the papers regarding her medical condition were going to be sent over by an Undersheriff at the jail. No papers ever arrived. If they exist someone has blundered...but there seems to be little proof of their existence.

As they say, "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime."

My brother mailed my nephew's license back to the State last week because the kid had been found driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.011; earlier he'd been driving with a level of 0.010. The kid's not happy about it, but he accepts his punishment and knows that he'll be without a licenses for 180 days.

Hmmm ... I really don't know, to tell you the truth. Until she started being mentioned, for reasons I still don't understand, on our national news service, I thought she was a hotel in France. What she merits or doesn't merit, I don't know, and couldn't care less. Obviously, I'm in the minority here.

Big news conference with the sheriff...HE says she has mental problems and no one told him when they they sent her to him. He says she was supposed to have drugs, and no one sent them. He says the jails are HORRIBLY overcrowded with folks that are real dangers to the community....


and then he says that the judge is the boss, and they will keep Paris as best they can until ordered otherwise.

I suspect the sheriff might have some insight in the matter.

I'm offering 25¢ that says she does NOT serve the whole sentence.

Actually, meself, I also thought she was a hotel. It wasn't until MUCH later that I found out that it was a person.

As a former law enforcement officer, what the sheriff did was unconscionable and he should be held in contempt of court. A double standard is the death knell of the judicial system. The judge did an exemplary job and should be commended for delivering justice. Superior Court judges are not well compensated for their duties and the ones I have known were honest, hard working jurists that could make a huge salary in private practice. I admire men and women who do such jobs for the good of society at substantial personal monetary loss.

This judge's example will send a strong message and, in at least a small way, it will help restore some trust in the judicial ethic of equal justice for all.

Maybe it's just my own strange sense of humor, but I had to chuckle at a columnist who pointed out (presumedly correctly) that she will be unable to have access to anything but a prison-issued comb for "cosmetic maintenance" during her 45 days. No makeup. No razor.

and (quote)

"She's gonna be really hairy when she gets out."

I suppose it's just the absurdity that something so trivial is worth mentioning, but probably is, to her, a real tragedy.

Things were slow at the office today so I followed some links on the internet.

They said that one day is taken off the sentence for every four days of 'good' behavior in jail so assuming her behavior improves she should be out in no time, so to speak.

By the way, it also commented on the sheriff's citing the overcrowded jail- but pointed out that she was in a 'special needs' unit and did NOT have a cellmate. Her section was not full.

My guess is that she thought jail would be kind of fun and gave up that notion fairly quickly.

As far as piling on someone in trouble, I see nothing unusual in it. As in-your-face as she has been the last few years she could expect nothing less.

The hotel(s), of course, are named after her family. I've never bothered to check on who her father is but I know that Elizabeth Taylor's first husband, Nicky Hilton, was/is? one of the family also.

Nicky Hilton (Conrad Nicholson Hilton Jr.) is Paris Hilton's great uncle. Married twice (first wife, Elizabeth Taylor), basically drank himself to death, died at age 42.

Initially, Paris Hilton, age 26, was one of these people who is famous for being famous. Money can do that. She has tried writing, modeling, acting (TV, movies), singing, and even did a sex video with her (then) boy friend. No Pulitzer, no modeling career, and generally not considered to be Oscar, Emmy, or Grammy material. Has tried designing purses, jewelry, and perfume; lent her name to a chain of "Club Paris" nightclubs, but blew the deal (was fired) when she neglected to show up for a series of promotional engagements. Was spokesperson for an organization trying to encourage young people to vote, then bounced when it was discovered that not only had she never bothered to vote, she hadn't even registered to vote. Engaged several times, twice to Greek shipping millionaires. Never "officially" married.

Arrested in September 2006 for DUI. She pleaded no contest to a reckless driving charge and was fined $1500, sentenced to 36 months' probation, and her drivers' license was suspended. On February 27, 2007, Hilton was caught driving 70 mph. in a 35 mph. zone (license still suspended). In addition, she did not have her headlights on, even though it was after dark.

Hence, her present predicament.

Well, what is she qualified for her? What does the future hold for her?

What else! President of the United States.

I felt sorry for Paris when that so-called comedian humiliated her with her so-called jokes at that award ceremony recently. If it had been funny it might have been different, but the jokes were not funny, and she disgraced herself more than Paris in my opinion.

Perhaps while in prison she might find herself attractive to others. She had better be careful not to bend down if she drops the soap in the shower!

The point is this, she courts publicity, and has this monstrous ego, so if she likes comments about her outrageous behaviour in night clubs and celeb's parties, she's got to take them when she behaves like a spoiled brat, and breaks the law.

I agree with jOhn except, perhaps, about the shooting bit.

I wasn't even aware of what she had done to be incarcerated until I read Don's post above. On that basis she deserves exactly what she is getting. As for having 'special needs' there is enough money in that family to have given her the best care possible for those 'special needs', before she broke the law and endangered lives - twice.

I'll reserve my sympathy for all those people with problems that they can't afford to remedy and who don't get the kind of special treatment being meted out to this rather worthless young woman.

It would be nice to think that a few days inside would make her think about the direction her life is going in and maybe to start using her money and fame to make a difference, even in a small way.

I don't think that we are raising a weak generation. There are plenty of stories of 'ordinary' kids doing extraordinary things for others that give hope for the kids coming up today.

She still thinks driving drunk was nothing wrong - "it's not fair", she wails.
Sometimes young people are given a "wake-up" call by taking them to the morgue to see
victims of crime or car crashes, or video of the carnage of drunk driving accidents.
Unfortunately, Paris is an adult who has never been held responsible for her actions.
She has only profited from her bad behavior... until now... but this will eventually
bring her more money from celebrity deals.

The Salon article I linked to is very good.
