Moments after Paris Hilton was sentenced to serve 45 in the clink, TMZ learned that her mother, Kathy, rushed over to the lead prosecutor and lashed out, "I want your autograph. This is pathetic."
In the same breath, as she walked out of the courtroom, Kathy looked up and said, "I can't believe all the money we spent on this."

67. I've admired Paris only for her money: She's not that pretty, she has no boobs, and she looks down on EVERYBODY. Time for a dose of reality for Paris. Let's hope she learns something from 6-1/2 weeks in the slammer.

68. You are the one who is pathetic, you and your self-righteous, self-centered, self-serving daughter.She was given a privilege, simple as it may be, that put trust in her hands, that put the fate of others' lives in her hand. Then, she not only violated that trust by driving under the influence, she then thumbed her nose at everyone else when she decided to go back on the road after having the privilege taken from her. She's been so spoiled by you that she's convinced herself that these may be privileges to us meaningless peons, but they are her birthright. Perhaps you both deserve to spend some time behind bars in a tiny 8x8 or 6x6 cell. Maybe that'll gain you some perspective. Or, perhaps the only way you'll see the light is when a drunk driver kills your daughter or husband.
You truly are the pathetic one, Msssssssss. HILTON.

70. This is pathetic, my daughter didn't kill anyone...yet.

71. I cant beleive the Mother's reaction ... I can completely understand a parent being upset that their child is in trouble with the law and that things can spiral down-hill pretty fast ...
BUT ... what the f^&*$K?
So disrespectful to the Judge and the prosecutor ... the judge should have made an example of Paris and thrown the book at her (Judge's discretion in sentencing) and should have held that SLAG mother in contempt.
These rich a-holes have no respect ... finally ... a 'celebrity' who gets justice.

72. Read again her lawyer says they will appeal so this slut will never see jail time
Hilton was among a series of witnesses who took the stand during the hearing. She testified she believed her license was initially suspended for 30 days and then she was allowed to drive for work purposes during the next 90 days.
She said that when an officer who stopped her in January made her sign a document stating her license was suspended, she thought he was mistaken and did not actually look at the document.
Also called to the stand was Hilton's spokesman, Elliot Mintz. Hilton and her attorneys characterized Mintz as a liaison betweeen Hilton and her lawyers.
Mintz testified that to his knowledge Hilton did not drive during the 30-day period. He said he then advised her that he believed her license was no longer suspended.
The judge called Mintz's testimony worthless and expressed disbelief at Hilton's lawyers.
"I can't believe that either attorney did not tell her that the suspension had been upheld," the judge said. "She wanted to disregard everything that was said and continue to drive no matter what."
Hilton looked forward and didn't speak to news media as she left court. Her mother looked upset.
One of her attorneys, Howard Weitzman, said he would appeal.
"I'm shocked, I'm surprised and really disheartened in the system that I've worked in for close to 40 years," Weitzman said.
He said the sentence was "uncalled for, inappropriate and bordered on the ludicrous."
"I think she's singled out because of who she is," Weitzman said.
Hilton had arrived at the Metropolitan Courthouse 10 minutes late and ignored screams of photographers as she swept in with her attorneys, mother and father Rick Hilton. Wearing a gray jacket and white shirt over black slacks and with a black headband on, she said nothing and appeared serious.
The celebrity case brought an unusual scene to the austere courthouse south of downtown in a commercial area. As if at a red carpet event, dozens of photographers and reporters lined up at the rear entrance. Yellow police tape substituted for velvet ropes.
Hilton, 26, pleaded no contest in January to reckless driving stemming from a Sept. 7 arrest in Hollywood. Police said she appeared intoxicated and failed a field sobriety test. She had a blood-alcohol level of .08 percent, the level at which an adult driver is in violation of the law.
She was sentenced to 36 months probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines.
Two other traffic stops and failure to enroll in a mandated alcohol education program, are what landed the socialite back in court.
On Jan. 15, Hilton was pulled over by California Highway Patrol. Officers informed her that she was driving on a suspended license and she signed a document acknowledging that she was not to drive, according to papers filed in Superior Court.
Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies stopped Hilton on Feb. 27 and charged her with violating her probation. Police said she was pulled over at about 11 p.m. after authorities saw the car speeding with its headlights off.
Mintz said at the time Hilton wasn't aware her license was suspended. A copy of the document Hilton signed on Jan. 15 was found in the car's glove compartment, court papers say.

74. 1. Paris, you are what we all aspire to be; rich, famous, and free. You are the epiphany of all our dreams. You do as you please 24 hours a day. Most of us are prisoners to our daily grind. We support you Paris because you bring glamour and excitement to our otherwise mundane lives. Some suffer from extreme jealousy, that is why some attack you. Thank you for letting us live vicariously thru you. Good luck.
