Hey, I see that Paris Hilton has been released from prison after serving three days of her 23 day sentence. Oh to be white and have money and influence in America. Susannah

I had three girls, ages 14 and 15, at my house yesterday. We got to talking about Paris and her problems. These girls all readily admitted that they would love to be Paris Hilton, because she has so much money and can, seemingly, do whatever she wants to.

That's a good question for my kids, too -- "Would you like to live her life?" (pre-jail, of course). And the follow up would be, "How might a life like that end you up in jail?"

Hey ! My girl has made quite a few movies. All scary ones too. I know because I have seen then on the sci-fi channel. They all went to video not to movie houses.

I thought they were all awful too.

So she has tried to be an actress. She is just a lousy actress so she can only get "b" movies.

What is the world coming to when money can't buy you a good part in a movie!!!!

Just FYI.

Edie lol

ANY movie with Paris Hilton in it would be scary, IMHO.

Attack of the plastic grrl....! All surface, no interior, and yet she lives! :faint:

This is such a sad truism....

I wish some of the other young movie stars would learn a lesson from this. If she had been allowed to come home with an electronic bracelet, they sure wouldn't have learned anything. Maybe the judge was trying to make an example of her - afterall she's the ring leader. Whatever Paris does, so goes the rest of the tribe.

She has several things going for her (that the public, especially teenage girls are impressed with) and that's why she gets so much media coverage:

1. She's rich.

2. She has tons of self-confidence.

3. She loves all the publicity. I think she's one of those people who would rather have bad publicity than no publicity. Didn't they say that she wasn't really unhappy that her sex tape was all over the internet?

4. She's tall.

5. She's skinny. She can wear all the designer fashions and by wearing them and posing for the cameras constantly, she gets the designers publicity. They feed on each other.

6. Because she gets all the attention she wants, she gets to drag out all the newest fads first and whatever Paris considers cool, is bought by other young girls, all across the country. Once she showed up with her puppy in a designer puppy carrier, all the little starlets had to have puppies in pretty little puppy purses. Now young girls all over America are doing it (at least in my town.)

7. She's such an anomaly, even we people here at LBT are talking about her. Go figure.

If the sherriff had sent home a "nobody" to serve out the rest of their jail sentence, the judge would probably have cared less. BUT, since people like Al Not-So-Sharpton exist, the judge felt pressured to do something. He sent her back to jail not because of what she did, but because of who she is....and to me, that is the part that is unfair. I do not condone DWI, but lets face it...the reality of it is that she was returned to jail because she is Paris Hilton.

She wasn't sentenced to jail for DWI; she was sentenced for violating her probation and driving on a suspended license, which were the consequences of her original violation (DWI).

How could the judge NOT send her back, after specifically ruling that she would not receive early release? That sheriff might as well have stood on the courthouse steps and flipped the judge the bird.

Right, but, none of it would even be an issue if she was a nobody....

If she were "nobody" they might have let her out early due to crowding, etc but you can bet your booty they would not have released her because she was traumatized by the jail's "harsh" conditions. Sheriffs generally have a pretty unsympathetic philosophy.....if you don't like it, you shouldn't have come.

She was put in originally because of who she is, let out because of who she is and sent back because of who she is...

Hey, Apparently Paris doesn't want to pish in full view of the prison papparazzi with their hidden cell phone cameras.:smellie: Susannah

It must really suck to be Paris Hilton.:faint:

Don't think so. She violated her probation terms after the original charge of DUI. Sorry but there is not one rule for the rich and another for the average schmo. Susannah

She was put in originally because of who she is,

No, she wasn't. She violated her parole not once, but TWICE. If you had violated your parole, you would have been sentenced to serve time, as well. If anything, she was given an extra chance because of who she was. Anyone else that had violated their parole would have been sent to the slammer the first time they violated.
