Does Paris Hilton do anything for a living at the moment?

Her name sounds like a hotel. Which fits her because she receives a lot of guests if you know what I mean.
Her name sounds like a hotel because her family owns the Hilton franchise.



And seeing how this is QUICKLY turning into a political thread, I'd suggest everyone just keep their legal thoughts to themselves. If you want to be heard, take it to the streets, not the boards.

I really hope she gets put back in jail tomorrow. She should have never been released to "house arrest" in the first place. If you do the crime and are found guilty then live up to your responsibilities and consequences.

One of my Mom's favorite sayings growing up was "C=C=R" or "Choices equal Consequences which equal responsibility."

Hehe. That made me snicker. I remember reading about this and saying out loud "Wow... what a f***ing surprise. I wonder what took the legal system soo damn long to let her out." Please, medical reasons? Yea, she was having withdraws from whatever she smokes, snorts, or injects... oh yea, and random men. Geez, I'm sure if they had just greased her up and threw her into a holding cell with like 7 guys the only withdraws she would have been having would be the drugs. An example for young people, huh? Yea...

"Hey everyone, guess what! If I drink and drive and don't kill anyone my license will be suspended and if I get caught driving I'll only go to prison for like 3 days! Awesome! I'm gonna go knock over that crappy gas station for ciggs because the bitch that works there always cards me. I'd like to see the system keep me in prison for more than a week! HA-HA!"

........Thanks Paris, you're the best model my little sister could ever have.

Well, I'm going to say what everyone else is saying and get this off of my chest - I'm sick and disgusted at how people can escape a sentence. Sure, she is still under house arrest and the such, but if she is able to get out of staying in a jail cell, it could be easy to get out of that, wouldn't it? *shrugs*

What I'm really wondering about is the girls who look up to her now. Are they slowly starting to realize that she isn't as great as they thought she once was? Or are they admiring her for "courage and cooperation"? Honestly, I hope if anything comes out of this, it is that the number of "fans" Paris has is slashed in half... /rant

You know, this really shows how messed up this system is. Paris Hilton's crime is because she put people's lives in danger. But that's not enough reason to keep her behind bars.

OJ Simpson, I still say he is a murderer and was running from the poilice, endangering more lives, and gets off scott free.

But when someone is found guilty for money fraud, like Martha Stewart, they make damn sure they serve their time.

I dunno about the Martha stewart thing. it did help her career after all. Even though Martha's apprentice show bombed (probably for being repetitive and pointless, like it's predicessor).

While we'd love to think Parisite Hilton will have less fans, but she won't. People will love her more for being a mindless celebrity distraction, without even doing anything.

I really hope she goes back to jail and gets beaten up by a gang of poverty stricken mothers who had to rob banks and stuff to put food on the tabel for their kids.

That girl just needs to be shot into space or something. I thing that I'm gonna give my little sister a call and see what she thinks about Parisite (mwahaha!... god I love the sound of that!). I hope she isn't one of the mindless preteens that will just love her more. I remember my mom hearing about this and laughing her ass off and it made my sister cry. Oh god... my sister is probably more behind that Hilton slut more than ever!

if anything they probably look up to her even more now for being rebellious AND fabulously wealthy.

*shrug* You guys can believe whatever you want, I guess.


Quote:
In all his years as an attorney, however, Geragos said he has never seen someone given a sentence as severe as Paris Hilton's for what she did.

"Actually, she is getting special treatment, but not in the way people think," Geragos said. "She actually served almost twice or three times as much time as anybody would on a 45-day sentence. … The fact remains that if she was Paris Coreen instead of Paris Hilton, she wouldn't have done more than 12 hours."

Geragos noted that with California prisons in a state of emergency at double their intended capacity, it actually made more sense to have an offender such as Hilton serve an alternative sentence.

"What the story is for real — the kind of understory ˜ is that the jail is overcrowded and the sheriff doesn't have enough funding," Geragos said. "He is managing and he is making decisions and he is making pretty good decisions from where I sit. Because frankly, when Paris Hilton was released, I don't want to go home and lock the doors.

"I would rather keep people in there who are a threat than those who are clearly not. Who are you going to let go? Are you going to let go serious felons? Are you going to let go predators? No, of course not. … I don't think there is anybody sitting here thinking right now, 'Oh my God. Paris Hilton is on the street. I better watch out!'"

Yeah, because drunk driving is a total f*cking joke. The prisons are full, fair enough, but let's not trivialise what she did. She is not the victim here.
