Celebrity Justice
Patty Hearst Tells Paris' Cellmates -- Run for Cover!

OK, we here at TMZ are stoked. None other than Patty Hearst (if you don't know who she is, you should) contacted us today about a story the TV show "The Insider" is reportedly airing tomorrow -- that Hearst is giving advice to Paris Hilton about doing hard time. Hearst spoke with Harvey Levin today (it's 100% her), and here's her letter:

Dear TMZ,

Imagine my surprise upon learning of the "advice" I had been giving Paris Hilton. In spite of reports to the contrary, I can assure you that I have not had any contact with Paris (or any member of her family) regarding her upcoming jail time, or any other matter. Like Governor Schwarzenegger, I have had many more important things to think about.

mugshotsHowever, since I'm thinking about it now, I must say that my heart goes out to the inmates of the Century Regional Detention Center. Forty-five days with Paris Hilton and the attendant publicity seems like cruel and unusual punishment to me. Perhaps THEY should be petitioning the Governor for relief?

OK, that wasn't nice. But seriously, if Paris really wants my advice it's this: Read Candy Spelling's letter several times and take her advice to heart.

--Patricia Hearst

31. We need people like Patty Hearst to share with others, their experience, strength and hope, they have been there, done that and know the system, Patty did some really hard time even before she was convicted and jailed. I would love for all those that write these very demeaning letters, think they are somehow above going to jail, making mistakes and being held accountable-responsible, they should be going to do some time and see how they act.
I have been in a Navy red line brig., now that is really harsh, I survived. I have been in jail and that was easy compared to the brig., I took those experiences and turned them into a positive experience, made up my mind I did not want to go back there, took responsibility, it was a wake up call, some of us need that.
I found God, was aved in spite of myself in jail, it was worth the trip. Take Chuck Colson, he was saved in jail, attended a kiddy camp, but turned that around and started Prison Fellowship.
paris you just do your time, stop murmuring and complainingg, take it on the chin, do your time and then turn that around to help others and it will all be worth it. I write books, speak, bless others, offer hope for addictions, help set the captives free all because I went to jail, seved my time. God bless you!
Remember; don't wind up like the Dead Sea, it is dead because water goes in not out, no outlet, don't be stagnet, don't wast this oportunity, be productive, get a life and help others, give the gift of love, tenerness and compassion.

32. Patty, your letter really hurts my feelings. I thought we were better friends than that. I know what I did was wrong, but I'm rich and beautiful and that should count for something in this case. Hopefully there's still time for my parents to pull some strings and get me out of this. If that fails, I think I'll see if the judge would accept a few BJ's in lieu of the jail time.
Thanks again for stabbing me in the back.

33. Well said...Well spoken. The true embaresment here should really fall on mama's hands. She has given us the perfect example why spanking and the disciplining of children should never ever be again talked down on. Another words...Paris should of been slapped silly starting at age 10, with mother being next. That letter from Candy Spelling should have had 2 names on it ... Paris and Mother Hilton.

34. ..................Stop with the theatrics Paris, and grow up!!.....................You DID the crimes, now own up to them and face the music........You never know, but you might become "more" human.......Doubt it, but stranger things have happened. Does nothing seep into that "puff" head of yours? You should be embarassed the way you have been......Absolutely embarassed!!!!!!

35. ....... Damn! This just gets better and better. Now Paris has Celebrities ganging up on her? ..... Cheryl Burke, Candy Spelling, Shanna Moakler and NOW Patty Hearst? (Just to name a few, but there have been interviews with some others making snide comments). Hey Paris ... are you getting it now? People don't like you! If I were you I would crawl under a rock somewhere. Not that alot of people would care, but she needs to try and salvage what little dignity she has left. She is living through a PR nightmare .... and maybe Elliot Mintz SHOULD be fired. He's doing nothing to save her. I think she should give a thoughtful (not emotional and fake!) interview, without all her make-up and hairstylists doing her up .... and come out publically apologizing for her antics. Nobody sees her as remorseful for any of her actions .... and I guarrantee that's why most people hate her right now. At least for me that's why. She is a spoiled, bratty, immature, egotistical, racist, 26 y.o. woman that has no excuse for her behavior. I hope that nobody in prison remembers her nightclub video rant where she says the n* word, and puts other people out of her income bracket down. They aint gonna like that too much ....

36. Patty and Ann Hearst are good friends of the Hilton's. I can't imagine Patty really saying this.

37. I think Paris needs to understand that her image & public opinion changed when that porno hit the news & internet. Plus, the girl has issues to deal with besides her alcohol/drug use. She is 26 & should know right from wrong not only regarding her driving charges & probation but in life. She is self centered, narcissistic, & immature for her age. And she is no way near a role model, its all about money & partying, posing for pictures, she is in her own world, for her it is 'all about me' attitude.
Dommick Dunne was on Larry King last night. He is good friends with the Hilton family. I found it to be honest & interesting. Even Dommick thinks Paris should go to jail.
Only time will tell if she ever grows-up & does something purposeful after she gets out of jail.



Below is from Larry King.

DOMINICK DUNNE, FRIEND OF HILTONS: I actually know Rick and Kathy and they're an incredibly nice couple. And you know the thing is, it's -- what nobody understands about it, as wild as Paris is and so forth and so forth, they are really a family. And you see it at Christmas time when they send the family Christmas card. There's two brothers in that family that you never hear anything about that totally stay out of the picture. So they are a unit.

And you know Paris has done a very stupid thing. And I think she should go to jail, by the way. And it's certainly not going to be 45 days because it just looks like rich kids stuff if you...


KING: How about some people trying to appeal right to the governor?

DUNNE: Well, I mean, it's...

KING: What do you make of all of these signatures asking for it?

DUNNE: Well, that's what I hear. I didn't know that until a little bit ago.

KING: Why do people like her?

DUNNE: She's an astonishing phenomenon. I mean...

KING: I know.

DUNNE: ...she earns a lot of money, you know. That's the thing. She earns something like $7 million to $10 million a year just by going to these openings and these parties. She charges for that. And she is...

KING: But what does she do?

DUNNE: Nothing.

KING: So she's famous for nothing?

DUNNE: Nothing, that's right. And you wonder, she's 26, now when she gets to be 30, is this going to still work? I don't think so.

KING: And you've covered famous people...

DUNNE: Lots of them.

KING: ...celebrities. You're the epitome of a celebrity coverer, if that's such a word. What do you make of this one?

DUNNE: Well, I mean, there's nobody like her. I mean, she's utter -- in fact, she's world famous. She is known all over the world. And it seems like she goes out every night and poses and does those poses. She's in a different dress. She's somebody that people talk about. And, you know, it's her own fault that she's in the trouble she's in.

41. Real or not, Patty "Stick Em Up" Hearst??? Gimme a break.

And we don't all hate Paris BTW....
Like I've said before we're just jealous because we're not wealthy and free.
I know for a fact there are repeat sex offenders and pedophiles, attempted murderers and other criminals out there without any ramification for their offense.
If she does do the time, fine. Just quit with these personal attacks...if you don't wanna see her don't log on to this site or don't put yourself in "harms way".
And stop your bitchin' already. She's never done anything to hurt anyone or YOU...

42. good one patty hearst. paris your pathetic

Posted at 11:12AM on May 14th 2007 by public school bitch

43. Lets see after all the time Paris has spent shopping, cryin (oh boo hoo), going to parties, searching for a way to get outta jail time she could have already served10 days of her sentence. She was sentenced on May 4th 2007 and it is now May 14 th. She could have been out on June 5 2007, but no Miss Scaredy Pants wants to see if she gets off. I love Miss Hearst & Mrs Spellings letters to this spoiled bitch and now we know what the upper class thinks of the Hiltons.

44. Leave it to TMZ to get the correct scoop and truth about Patty Hearst's false rumors of
advice It is unfortunate that Candy Spelling (not exactly, Mother of the Year Award),
could not have written a private letter of concern (she stated she has known Paris
for most of her life and ---that she was so worried about her) Now Patty Hearst is saying
"she feels sorry for the inmates,,,", why can't someone direct Paris Hilton to a therapist,
counselor or mentor other than her family, circle of friends and manager and or publicist?
