This is going to be very unpopular, but I do feel sorry for her. Her mother and her aunts completely pissed off the judge (it''s amazing how arrogant they are!) and I seriously wonder if they were the ones who arranged this ''party.'' I don''t think she''s the brightest bulb in the box and I think her family has raised her without any preparation for the real world. She doesn''t have a clue and her family has not given her the support to take responsiblity, it''s kind of a ''don''t worry, you''ll never do time, we''ll get a really good lawyer, etc.'' Not that Paris is pure as the driven snow, but her family is NOT helping the situation. They have not impressed upon her the severity of any of this and just fluffed it away, IMO.

Paris is totally unprepared for this. Not saying she doesn''t deserve every minute of it, but she is not prepared. I would not be in the least surprised if she comes to a bad end in jail.

I think the sentence is fair. Her family and she have snubbed the judicial system and made a mockery of this whole situation. There''s no way they could let her off and keep any shred of credibility, and I applaud the judge for upholding the sentence. Just because she''s rich and famouse is no excuse. There are a lot of other people in jail who are equally unprepared, and my heart goes out to them as well. But they still have to do the time, and if they do, she should, too.

I totally understand what you''re saying.. and I don''t think its going to be taken as unpopular (and I think you''re a sweetheart besides..) .. but, I personally cannot feel sorry for someone who is a repeat offender of anything.

If I drive like a maniac and get a hundred tickets and the judge were to say look, you aren''t learning anything by this, so X is your punishment then I''d have to suck it up and take it. I have never been prepared to see the inside of a jail cell either and yes, it would be very scary. But I don''t intentionally snub the law, either. She did as well as her family. Sometimes when reality hits, you have to suck it up and take it. I have a friend who is a friend of thier family and he told me a long while ago that those kids have been coddled forever and it hasn''t done them any favors.

Breaking the law has consuquences..

Yep, I agree. Too bad her family did not impress that upon her. I really wonder what type of human being she would be if her parents were average people with an average income. I think this is a case of trickle down family ethics and values, and her parents have reaped what they''ve sown. And yes, she still has to face the consequences.

I hear what you''re saying about Paris not being prepared for the real world. Her parents are to blame for that. I don''t feel sorry for her....because there are alot of kids that aren''t prepared for the big, bad world when they get into it. Neither of my kids were really prepared for how expensive it is to live....rent, food, bills, etc. When they got out on their own, they got a slap in the face and woke up to that fact. It''s about time she got slapped and learned a lesson in reality.

EXACTLY ... I honestly think this is the best thing that''s ever happened to her: being REQUIRED to face her punishment. NOT being able to cry & whine & pay her way out of responsibility for the umpteenth time ...

It''s not so far from what happens to OTHER kids with "bad parents" who don''t reign them in or teach them the ways of the world ... those kids test the rules & commit petty crimes and end up in the system also. Her parents are only making this girl WORSE??? Time for another authority figure to step up and hold her accountable.

I think the sheriff needs to be looked at as well. The judge should be angry with him not Paris. Afterall he is the one who changed her sentence (I am not saying I think she should not do jail time, she should and hire a driver).

Agreed - he is also to blame, particularly since the judge originally said that home detention was NOT to be considered as punishment for her. I'd still be angry at her and that circus of a family too though.

awwww

Okay, now I think she is just having a giant temper tantrum. She almost got away with it, then they made her go back to jail.

I''d have more sympathy if she had humbled herself in the very beginning and followed the rules of her probation, and her mom makes me sick! I really think it''s the enabling of that entitlement and, "Don''t worry we''ll get you off" mentality that caused Paris to have to do more time than many people in her circumstances.

I really hope they don''t reduce her sentence. I hope she spends the entire remainder of her sentence in jail. If she needs to detox, she''ll get the medical attention she needs there. I also think ifshe''s that fragile, they need to require her to go to a psychiatrist -- not a Beverly Hills one, but one that is going to hold up a mirror to her and make her look at herself as she really is. Her parents certainly have not done this.

So now she hasn''t eaten or slept (uh, what''s new?) and they have her on psychoactive drugs. I''m betting she''ll end up not serving much more time because now she''s playing the little kid game of how long can I hold my breath...

When I see this pic I have to wonder if the cops in the front are biting their cheeks to keep from cracking up! How could you hold it together and not turn around and point and laugh at her...Oops...I think I''m feeling mean tonight...

I just read on TMZ the reason she wasn''t eating or drinking is she was afraid someone would snap a picture of her on the toilet and post it on the web. You know, I have to say I think that''s a very valid concern. I would imagine if that happened though, that they would be able to find out who did it and that person would be in a lot of trouble. But who knows. Seems like justice in that area is not exactly, hmmmmmm, consistent. OTOH, this is the girl who made a porno. Does anyone else think that''s just crazy??? I''m not famous and I would not let my husband video us. I''m not afraid of what he would to with it, but if it EVER got out and our kids saw it, or neighbors, etc. How incredibly clueless do you have to be to be that famous and make a sex video?

I''m fascinated by this case. I''m not a Paris fan, nor really a Paris hater. I''m just fascinated because of the sort of phenomenon that is Paris. Maybe her fame will shed some light on a flawed system and inspire something to be done to (help) fix it. Wow, Paris could actually be responsible for doing something good (and not as a "role model" as she intended).

I read a statement her lawyer released last night saying that she would not appeal the order to send her back to jail (as everyone fully expected her lawyers to do on Monday). She pledges to serve out the remainder of her sentence IN JAIL ... and says that it''s the hardest thing she''s ever done but that she''s "learning & growing".

I''m suspicious that this is her only non-hateable PR move at the moment. That her people realized the tides had GREATLY turned against her and that her whiny tantrum & perceived "getting out of it" made people CRAZY! But even if it''s calculated -- I''m happy to see it. Stop dodging. Stop crying. Stop calling for Mommy & just get it over with. The longer she portrays herself as "victim" -- the more evidence that she''s just not "getting it" ... she''s not learning her lesson. Thankfully someone in her camp has finally recognized that.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[surfgirl]

I have no sympathy for her at all. And on the issue of whether or not her parents are to blame, well, yes, but to a point. I mean, she''s got a sister and I think a couple of brothers who are all out of the limelight and seem to know how to keep their noses clean...What''s her excuse? No, I think her "I''m above it all" air is what I loathe most. Having a party after you''ve lied to get your skank butt out of jail time you deserved? No pity at all for her. I was dismayed today to read that they expect her to only serve two weeks or so and get out on "good behavior" after that. It''s all BS is you ask me. Some kid from the hood, or even one of us, would be serving our entire sentence, right?

 

[iheartscience]

I have to play devil''s advocate a little here...I really think she is getting extra special screwed because she is famous. (All the extra special treatment she gets the rest of the time probably makes up for it, though.) I just think justice should be doled out equally to everyone, always. I know that just doesn''t happen, but it really should. I guess mandatory sentence guidlines are one way to do this. This whole debacle has really proven to me just how flawed our justice system really is.

For example, a person I know well has had THREE DUIs. The only jail time he has ever served is directly after he was pulled over and the police took him to jail. He got lawyers and got out of the DUIs every single time. (He''s not wealthy, either.) He ended up having to go to AA meetings and rehab as punishment for a few of the DUIs.

Stuff like that just shouldn''t happen, you know?!

How long ago was that? Things have gotten a lot tougher in recent years. I really hope she has to serve her full sentence. But, I really doubt it.

 

[Skippy123]

I just saw this and thought it was interesting; I wonder if she means it?

[oshinbreez]

I''ve heard she will be getting out on June 25th. So she still only had to serve half her sentence. As far as how she''s changed....all I can say is we''ll see.

 

[diamondfan]

I heard she is a claustrophobic and was having severe anxiety attacks in the cell which I CAN understand since I am highly claustrophobic too.

BUT...they took her license for what ever she did and she was repeatedly pulled over and found to be driving while without her license. When she finally was help accountable after getting warnings I am sure, she claimed, "I thought I could still drive a little!" Ding ding, stupid. It is not like they told her she could drive to and from work, and that was it. Her license was taken totally for a period of time. HIRE A DRIVER!!!!!! All of these young girls should, they are drunk and out there, or breaking the law some other way behind the wheel. Be smart, get a driver if you can follow the law.

Then she was late to court and when she was reprimanded by the judge for not taking the proceeding seriously and show respect for his court by being on time, she sniffed at him and said "Well, I am a VERY busy person". DUMB again. Can''t she just shut her mouth and get through it?

Partying at the MTV film awards and misleading people about the jail option, NOT SMART either, people know and see things she clearly does not give them credit for.

But now in prison she has supposedly found God and realizes she should no longer ACT dumb for the world, as she has been doing in the past. She is now spiritually changed from this time in jail.

One of these young celebutard girls will end up od''ing or dying in a car wreck, God forbid, and maybe then the others will see how they are throwing their lives away to booze it up or have one more snort or whatever...and they might regret it enough to change. So sad and a waste of potential talent and resources, but I am sick of seeing them flaunt rules because they have money.

 

[Maisie]

I totally agree with you. I really don''t believe she thought she would be sentenced to prison. It was a tremendous shock to her. I wonder if this change will last. I have a feeling it won''t but wouldn''t it be great if she used her fame and money for positive things?
