Paris back to the Hilton after only 3 days in jail.
She didn't like the baloney, so she starved herself out of the prison sentence.
She gets to spend the next 42 days sitting in her family mansion rather than a jail cell. And to review: This was her second DUI, performed on a suspended license, additional violation of her probation was that she failed to enrole in alcohol education programs and she was doing 70 in a 35 without her headlights at night. And she gets off with 3 days in jail and the luxurious comforts of a month an a half at home. My little brother is going to be sentenced for his 2nd DUI soon. I should tell him the hunger strike trick. Wonder if it works for a non-socialite? :grumpy: |
Aww....poor widdle baby Paris....
She was starving? How could they tell? Your brother will get the same treatment-if he's got the bucks and the same mommy and daddy.:rolleyes: They should have sentenced her to community service in Compton....in a soup kitchen, with a mop. |
I'd put more stock in this if her house resembled my house.
Heck, people pay to go to places that resemble her house - they're called resorts, and her family owns a bunch of 'em. |
This really pisses me off, though who didn't see this coming a mile away? They basically set it up a few weeks back when she went to a psychologist or some such BS and he claimed she was not emotionally fit to go to jail.
Should have sent her here :) : http://www.cnn.com/US/9907/27/tough.sheriff/ http://www.snopes.com/crime/deserts/pink.asp |

That is her new prison cell. Who do I have to kill to be sentenced there? |
Did you honestly expect anything different? :rolleyes:
Although...I would be interested in seeing how Superbelt's brother fares. |

He's trying to fight it right now actually. Trying to get the thing thrown out on a technicality. It won't work and I am actually hoping he gets the full 30 days and license revocation for a year. 2 DUI is 2 too many. He needs to learn a lesson.
All Paris just learned is she is above the law and money still makes her problems go away. |
No one is emotionally fit to go to jail; that's not a reason not to go to jail. Jail is the system we have for now, so she has to go. If she's acting, she needs to stop and jail would stop it. If she's actually that stupid, then she needs a wake up call.
Her parents should be deeply ashamed of themselves, as she is clearly too stupid to feel shame for herself. |

Well, hopefully she's walking in the footsteps of Anna Nicole instead and we will be rid of her existence soon.

Yikes...I don't want her dead, just either to get smart or to stop pretending she's dumb as a stump.
I'm sorry to hear about your brother, SB. We're all pulling for him. |
thought i would let you in on a little secret.
paris hilton is actually "paris hilton", a fictional character within an ongoing bit of performance art. seen from that angle, she is a genius. the character "paris hilton" does not do anything--she gets fucked up, she participates in various incompetently documented sexual liaisons, she gets fucked up, she show up to events, she gets fucked up, she hangs out with other fictional characters in various LA bistrii, she gets fucked up, she drives around. its all about the "spontenous" attraction of "the media" to "paris hilton." the less she actually does while continuing to attract "the media" the better the piece gets. now she is approaching a limit-state of self-erasure. weaselling out of jail by refusing to eat bologna and going on a 3 day hunger strike is genius. she shows that in amurica, if you are endowed by accident with adequate cash, you do not have to *do* anything--but she is beautiful because she takes doing nothing SO FAR...now, she has extended this idea that she does nothing all the way, to the effective erasure of a 2nd dui conviction. so now she CAN'T do anything because nothing she does has any status. she CANT really be guilty of dui because she doesn't DO ANYTHING. so we see that "paris hilton" is transcending the cheap situationist character of her earlier work and attaining the status of zen master. sheesh, people. i thought this would be obvious. |
Transcendence

I don't think she's just acting dumb. I'm pretty sure she's that fucking stupid.
Not that it matters. She's still gonna be on the front page every fucking day till she dies. Or at least gains too much weight to be considered cool. |
This is bullshit and whoever allowed this needs to be thrown off the bench (assuming it is a judge).
See this is why there are class wars and why people hate the rich. "Normal people" have to face the consequences for their actions..... the rich time and time again get off and instead of being gracious and humble shove it in people's faces. What will it take? Maybe Paris actually killing someone in her next DUI and then the system will probably determine it wasn't her fault. Our country was built upon the justice for all, and equality before the eyes of the court.......... perhaps we never had it, but there is no doubt in my mind we aren't even close to having it anymore. |

I've never gotten a DUI. That does not mean that I couldn't have. I know that there have been several times, back in my wilder youth, when I was driving and knew damn good and well that I had absolutely no business doing so. It was just plain ol' dumb luck that I never got caught. I highly suspect that most anyone here could easily say the same. So...I tend not to look with a critical eye upon those that do get caught...once. That should, in my opinion, be the wake up call. Anything over that, I really hold no sympathy. |
Every time someone does that, they unnecessarially threaten other peoples lives.
I wouldn't throw the book at someone after one. But some considerable stiff penalties to actually slap them in the face and wake them up to the danger they possess I think are necessary. Something much more substantial than what we do to them right now. Two, especially in the manner that Paris got hers, that is just horrible. As much as I love him, my brother (and anyone who is a repeat DUI offender) should not be getting off this easy. Not with the devestation they cause. |
I'm with World's King, she is just that fucking stupid. BUT someone, somewhere is pulling the right strings, and the American Sheep are eating it up.
BTW, what the fuck is she even famous FOR? A few years ago, nobody ever heard of this bitch. All of a sudden, BAM, Paris Hilton "the daughter of billionaire blah blah blah..." has been seen being a fuck up. Lather, rince, repeat. Add a made-up sex tape and a lame-ass FOX "reality" show to the mix and now she's a "celebrity?" Fuck you, Paris Hilton, and your ilk. [gets off soapbox] |
I've never driven drunk in my life. She's done it so often she's been caught twice.
This has been another episode of why I'm better than Paris Hilton. |
Quote:
Paris, however, seems to love the spotlight and being the focus of attention good or bad. So the press uses her to deflect American attention off true issues and she does what she needs to, to keep that attention. |
Does anybody here REALLY CARE whatever is happening to Paris Hilton? Please think about it. Even if you kill somebody, driving drunk, and farbeit from me to criticize a life-long-term democrat, you skate. Think some more...
With any luck she'll drive into a bridge abutment next time. I didn't mean that. Does anybody REALLY CARE what happens to her, as long as nobody else becomes a victim of her stupidity? |
Quote:
And victims???? Paris leaves victims left and right (maybe willing victims but victims nonetheless) just ask Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Nicole Ritchie, and so on. What will happen, Brit, Lindsay, and Nicole will o'd, kill someone or end up truly losing it and Paris, who led them there will walk away unscathed. |
Well said, Pan. Well said.
|
Thanks a fucking lot, California.
Until there is a REAL zero-tolerance policy on drunk driving, scumbag fucktards like this cunt and others of her drunk-driving ilk will continue to get away with relatively no punishment. |
Quote:
Looks like I owe someone a dollar. I don't give a shit about Paris Hilton and I certainly don't watch any of her stuff unless she's half-naked and taking it like a champ--and even then I'm only mildly interested--but it's a gorram shame that this ended the way it did. One half of my brain is outraged that money, pseudo-celebrity and a coldly calculated temper tantrum is enough to completely short circuit the justice system. That it is appalling that in their need to coddle, curry favor, appease, or assuage every little discomfort this b-list media attention whore--at best, mind you--went through, that those in charge felt the need to bend over backwards and subvert the system so egregiously. The other half of my brain thinks it's just par for the fucking course and prays that the next time Paris gets liquored up and gets behind the wheel, she hits one of the putzes that had hand in this bullshit. |

Honestly though, Paris Hilton is a product of the whole culture that Cali (especially SoCal) is guilty of pushing on the rest of the world. Right now teenage girls around the country are trying to grow up to be just like her. I'm with analog, let's send our heavy shit to California, then tow it out to sea and sink it. What was it Mr. Keenan said about Arizona Bay? |
In Paris's America, what she has been going through must seem very cruel and unfair to her. Those of us who expect justice to be applied equally to everyone just don't understand how the system really works.

The whole situation is absolutely stupid. Make her serve her 23 days (half sentence) in jail like the rest of us would. So she almost had a mental breakdown and couldn't handle it, isn't that what jail is supposed to be? It's not supposed to be fun and exciting and make you happy. Have the medical unit give her some Ativan or something, I don't care. I mean, I would in no way look forward to jail, but I think I could handle where she was, especially away from general population. It's not like she was on death row at a federal penetentiary or something. I honestly wish that everyone (myself included, but I wanted to comment on this) would never talk about her again and she would no longer be famous and I think that would be her punishment. I don't wish anything horrible to happen to her, but it would be hilarious because it seem she thrives on this kind of thing. Just erase her from everyone's minds and she would be going insane trying to get people to take her picture. Ah well I have gone off topic here, sorry bout that. She just annoys me and this whole Paris thing pisses me off. Make her go back and finish what she started.

I can think of another famous person who actually KILLED someone while "allegedly" driving drunk in 1969, but being from a family of power and influence, he pretty much got away with it, with the exception of the incident dogging him even until now.
I only bring it up because it seems relevant to the thread. I truly do not want to start a flame session. |
I read an article on her jail sentence a month or so ago. It basically said that since the jails are so full at her location, she won't serve more than a few days and then will be released. The article went on to say that many offenders serve much less than their sentenced sentence depending on how ram packed the jails are in the area. I'm sure her popularity and family power has something to do with it, but the fact that they'd rather have room in a prison for a murderer than a DUI definitely impacts the term as well.

According to CNN she is coming back to court in the morning
Quote:

Lasereth, I had read that as well, long before she actually went to jail. The problem I have is that the reason she was let out was not overcrowding, but a medical condition, or whatever they're calling it. I agree, it's better to have a murderer behind bars than Paris, but the fact that it was the Sheriff's that released her, not the judge or the d.a, I just wonder about it. Being sent to do house arrest at her home hardly seems like punishment to me. I have already heard that her favourite bakery delivered cupcakes there today. I doubt they're able to do that at jail. I dunno, I just wish some of these bitches would get a taste of reality.

Devil's Advocate:
If she really was going to have a nervous breakdown, then they did the right thing. Sentences are meant to be rehabilitative, not destructive. Breaking her psyche doesn't rehabilitate or teach her. Just sayin'. |

Apparently, the sheriff was a tad hasty. Seems the judge didn't sign off on this release
Quote:

1. It was gthe Sheriff's decision, not the judge's. Apparently, he is furious and has summoned her to court Monday.
2. Uber's nervous breakdown defense is too weak. There are way to many people in prison/jail that experience nervous breakdowns. That's hardly an excuse to get out of your sentence. Rehabilitive versus punitive is another thread. 3. Plenty of films are still shot in SoCal. 4. Performance art. There is actually enough evidence to pursue this theory. That she is not as dumb as she looks and acts. The "Paris Hilton" was created to pander to our stupidity and obsession with all things celebrity (just look at all the hits for this thread alone). There are some interviews where she talks about this. 5. I still don't get why she is so popular. She's not even pretty. |
Something new I learned from the new articles about her being required to report back to the judge are that she has been cited TWICE for driving on a suspended license!
Twice! Once being her second DUI. If you get caught doing that twice, you never once intended to comply with the ruling. She's been driving the whole time. And she can afford to hire a driver with the loose money in her couch. Yet she drives anyway? And it only gets her 3 days in an actual jail before her delicate sensibilities get her released. It's this repeated flaunting of the law that really gets me. She doesn't give a damn and the actions taken against her thus far only reinforce her perceived invincibility. |
getting rid of sheriff baca would be icing on the cake over all of this. hopefully an investigation will reveal all of his favors to the wealthy, elite, and famous.

I'm ashamed I'm even thinking about this situation. I should be concentrating on bringing my friends home from Iraq or curing AIDS in Africa. This actually distracted me for a bit, and I'm disappointed in myself. :sad:

I have been engaged in this whole thing for one good cause:
Getting annoying 'celebrities' in prison. Me thinks it is just as worth as curing cancer. |

If her medical condition had been that severe, last I checked they had hospitals in California.

"Yes I can, but I'm not sure how much we'll get done... I tell you what, we'll go over here and brainstorm while we wolf down these sandwiches." I want Paris to become invisible. I'd like it if I never heard her name again, even in a funny Conan joke or an unfunny Letterman joke. When did this country become one giant episode of Entertainment Tonight? |
That wasn't a hunger strike, her diet just doesnt permit her to eat on those 3 days. Jesus, didn't anyone read last month's health tips by paris hilton in teen magazine?
Also, that sex tape was boring as hell, I have better luck getting off to an episode of Chip 'n Dale's Rescue Rangers.. Jim Cummings has such a sexy voice.. and I used chip n dale.. and cummings in a sentence about getting off.. gross.. What were we talking about again? |

We need to remember that in America - Justice is different for the rich.
Sorry, it had to be said. |
Awww poor baby! NOT!
I wonder if she paid off her jailers or gave them blowjobs to get out early? Either way I am absolutely thrilled that her pansy skeeze butt is back where she belongs. I hear she gets a psych eval too! Those findings should be quite interesting! |
I have a distinct feeling that if a thread titled 'Why I'm better than Paris Hilton' was started, we'd hit 10,000 replies.
The world would be a better place without her. |

yeah all those "one complete" can define and has defined CA to the rest of the world. Let's see, OJ was followed by the helicopters, Paris was followed by the helicopters, misc traffic violations are followed by the helicopters. as far as pulling for SB's brother, "we are all pulling for him"? Ummm no... 2nd DUI? Maybe YOU are pulling for him will, please don't lump ME in that WE. What you think that it should be less than what it is? F that. As I said before in another thread, if all these decades of zero tolerance DUI stuff, make them FELONIES. Hell, brandishing a gun in a crime is a felony, hitting a bus driver in NYC, is a felony. |

IMO that is unconstitutional on it's face and maybe this brings it to light. what I have found so far and it's a bit pithy. http://www.nicic.org/pubs/pre/006403.pdf |

I lived in California pre-internet, and yes, people there face to face do not tell you how they feel about things with regard to the individual.

Here in NYC, people will tell you that you are a fucking asshole to your face and make no apology for it as opposed to talking behind your back. |

Of course, that last paragraph is Hilton's attempt to shame the media into not giving her so much negative attention. Of course, Hilton wants it both ways - all the positives of celebrity with none of the negatives.
But she's still 100% right in that paragraph. There is no justification for the amount of attention 'news' channels have given her. |
Celebs want all the press and the coverage for their shows, to sell themselves and their product. They invite them in to a lot of their personal celebration, weddings, etc... But they want to only open the door for what they want. By doing this they themselves have creates this demand and they are to blame. If Paris did not embrace the media all the other time, then there would be no reason for people to embrace the Schadenfreude (I hope I used this word right here).
So yeah she gets no sympathy from me. But either way I agree I hate the coverage of celebs i just don't give a fuck about them, outside of Schadenfreude. |
Every photo the paparazzi takes of her is a hidden promotion. She furthers her "career" with every shot that makes it into the tabloids. CNN has been having a field day when meanwhile on the other side of the world something interesting might be happening, but back to that after the Paris fiasco dies out if it ever will. Hollywood is like it's own country, if you're rich and famous, there are no laws to abide by. If you have enough money, you can buy yourself out of almost anything. I don't know much of California's laws or of law in general..but why are clubs and bars not being shut down for overserving the likes of Lohan who is underage? Anywhere else, that gets your licence to operate revoked. These leniencies are putting it's citizens in danger by not enforcing laws.
I don't like Paris Hilton, there's nothing really good about her. A person can do what ever they want with their money and she uses her wealth to do nothing but party and lower the bar in the art of acting and music. She acted like she was above the law and that it wasn't a big deal she went on the road intoxicated and putting lives at risk. She showed up late for court dates, acted all smug while attending celebrity events. It's obvious she can't handle taking responsibility for a reckless stupid act, then disregarding the warnings and doing it again. It's kind of fascintating/morbid how much hatred this silly cow generates out of people and happy everyone is to see her crying for her mum all the way back to jail and for that I almost feel badly for her. |
I'm not sure she wrote that statement, but if she did, good. Not that I believe she really wishes for less media attention, but she is conveying the right message.
I don't really care for her, I just wish I wouldn't see HILTON in font size 72 on my TV each time I put on CNN, which is supposed to be the country's most reliable TV news source. Saddening, really. This is why I get my news online now. I wish people stopped caring about her so much. Those kind of people who buy tabloids and watch E! all day create the market for this. The reason this annoys me is I get exposed to it as well, and each time I do it's like mental nausea. /rant |
biz, switch on Democracy Now! if you want the news. There is still news left in media.

Yeah, I find that a lot of countries' news TV format is extremely different from the american formula.
And thanks for the info, will, I'll see if comcast has it once I have cable again. IN the meantime, I'll get their mp3s. Oh, and Larry King live is talking about Paris right now. With a panel of four people. I wonder if people like Larry, who've been in the industry for decades, have any say as to what they wanna talk about. The Paris thing, IMO, is not news. There are situations where justice is wrongly applied or not applied at all everyday. Hilton is not a politician, has nothing that makes her any different from the rest of the world except that the rest of the world watches her. She doesn't affect our lives. |
