In case none of you have heard, Paris Hilton the star of the hit film House of Wax is set to do jail time. I apologize for the gossip column – but this is too good to pass up; we get the story from MSN:
In her first public comments since she was handed a 45-day jail sentence for a driving related offense, celebrity heiress Paris Hilton has described her punishment as cruel and unwarranted.
She also fired her spokesman, veteran publicist Elliot Mintz, whom she blamed for getting her into the mess.
Visibly shocked and tearful, the 26-year-old socialite was sentenced to 45 days in a suburban Los Angeles jail after a judge ruled she knowingly violated her probation on a previous traffic offense by driving without a valid license.
This is fucking hilarious. Paris Hilton is going to the slammer. Going to prison sucks, going to prison sucks more when you are pretty. This is the worst news day for Paris ever, but to be fair – what did she expect. It always blows my mind when celebrities get busted for drunk driving. You are rich beyond belief – hire a driver. Why she does did not get a driver after getting busted the first time is beyond me.
Celebrities have a different set of laws than the rest of us, but when you push the law to the point of mockery – they will make a public example out of you. This is sensational news but it is important to remember that if this were a regular Joe – the punishment probably would of been far worse for a repeat offender. That being said prison will be worse for a person of privilege than for anyone else.
On the bright side, I am sure the prison sex tape will be well received.
