Paris' Mom to Babwa -- Learn from Paris!

Click to return to TMZParis Hilton's mother Kathy took to the airwaves -- speaking through the oracle that is Barbara Walters on this morning's "The View" -- urging "young people who look up" to Paris to "learn" from her DUI arrest and impending imprisonment.

Babwa, friends with Kathy and husband "Ricky" for years, said she spoke to Mama Hilton yesterday, and read a brief statement from the convicted socialite's mom. "We can only hope that something positive will come out of this," said Walters for Kathy. "Hopefully the young people who look up to people like Paris can learn from this." Not to mention her videos.

Guest co-host, "D-lister" Kathy Griffin shot back at Babwa and the Hiltons, "If the 'Free Paris' T-shirts were more popular, she'd be singing a different tune."

106. Cathy darling,,,,,, take it from a fellow celeb parent- the youngin's have to let off steam,,,, cive your three kids some focus and raison d'tre.... they need self esteem ,,,,,, music is the right path for your little Paris- she just needs familial support, Rueban and I bought a bus and we took our act on the road,,,,it was wonderful experience for most of them( although I should have kicked Danny to the curb a few more times and he would have turned better,,,at least Kieth got his fifteen minutes of fame. Take it from , your kid will respect the discipline , bless you and Rick and heed my advice,

107. Hey Kathy, Diamond Dave here. Let me tell you, darlin', forget about Paris. It's all about the big hair & spandex...

108. Dear Cathy, When I was taking Andy and the boys a sandwich down at the sheriff's office, Barney let me have a discreet peek at your daughter's rap sheet. Land O' goshen, if they ever caught Helen or Thelma Lou driving drunk and without their knickers they'd been sent up to the pokey at the County Seat in Raleigh and thrown away the key ! Let me tell you a word to the wise, cut down on that girl's nightlife. Her voice isn't halfbad - I mean I ve heard worse in the church choir. Maybe should could find honest work, Floyd and Goober both are looking for helpers here (part-time of course) and maybe she'll settle down a peg and find the true Simple Life here. PS,- promise me you'll tell her to stay away from Opie, that boy will take up with just about anyone and if you don't mind my saying it politely, your Paris is a bit fast, if you catch my drift. In my day we thought those were the kind of girls that gave tramps a bad name. I know you Hollywood and Beverly Hills kind are a might loose but we don't need any new germs in this town spreadin' about (even though we are a tad closer to Atlanta and the CDC than you folks. Gotta run, I have my prize cherry pie in the oven for the church social. It wouldn't hurt you people to take up with church a couple sundays a month, you all take a page out of our book and remember the apple doesn't fall far from the tree,- be her parent- not her friend ! Thanks, you all come visit us real soon.

110. It's just as important that Paris 'get's it'.... She is the worst role model for my girls, but for her to become a better role model and to be taken seriously as a 'real' celebrity , is got hrt to actually understand, and get what she has done. She needs to learn that her fame does not get her special treatment, but that special treatment makes her a better role model... I pray, when she has kids, she teaches them right from wrong, unlike she's been taught. Money shouldn't make you 'above' the law. Period! I pray she learns from this and it makes her a better person!

111. Why did Kathy Hilton ask for the autograph of prosecuters or judge as reported by MSN right after the sentencing of her daughter Paris? She maybe a distressed mother but is'nt this behavior determintal or does she seriously want the autograph of the man who put her daughter in jail?

112. I bet Barbara barely knows who Paris Hilton is or what she's all about. She just doesn't want to offend any rich people. She's a kiss ass, and when she's on The View, it's like having a jail warden there.

I wish ABC would fire her.

113. A little too late.

114. The lesson other rich parents with troubled teen should learn from this story is to take time off and join their offspring in what in-house treatment, they decide what is best for their children.

If you as a parent hire a teen escort company to come into your house at night and handcuff your child, then pay for them to handcuff you also and join your child being shown handcuffed publicly in various airports on the way to treatment.

If you outsource the upbringing of your child to the wilderness, where the child is starved and beaten then starv and take the blows at the side of your child.

If you decide that the "therapy" should be consisting of lying on the concrete floor in Jamaica or another level 3 lock-down all day long and getting the arm twisted until they break then lie down at the side of your child and ignore the pain and live with the permanent aftereffect of a ill-treated broken arm, regardless of the fact that your perhaps can not move as before "treatment".

If the outside world is something, which is not something that your child should even hear off (some children did first learn about 9/11 weeks after it had occured), then live with the isolation and be content with mailing your spouse once a week and speek with her or him via a therapist.

Cut short the advise is - be a parent by staying at the side of your child instead of letting other people beat your child off.

Maybe then it will turn out better than the Walter's kid who learned from the pain she suffered at CEDU, that other children should be tormented also (most bullies have themselve been bullied once.).

Maybe then it will turn out better than Paris Hilton who was held as a private prisoner with trial and conviction at both CEDU and Ascent.

What will most people learn from being detained with trial?

Would they party without break in order to forget the torment or would they be so angry that they would take it out over others?

115. OPlease, regarding that post you referred to, it seems to me that the only self righteous tone is yours. You don't even read well enough to get the point of that post; it's over your sarcastic little hangman head. As a 33 year journalist, I get what that post intended, and it's obvious that you don't. Go and lecture a brain surgeon about brain surgery. I'm sure they'll listen.

116. Hope the divine Ms. France knows the entry exam to her cell will be a PAP test. They like to check for any VD. And her doc won't be any Beverly Hills type...warming the instruments. Lyndsey take note...you and Britney are next and need to go away. You are running out of rehabs.

I must say I feel badly for these worthless pieces of wealth and wish they would go away. Then again, karma has a way of happening and taking care of things. Look at Liz Taylor, Sandra Dee, other child stars or wanna-be's. It's a short ride. Count on a visit and potencially not returning to celebrity shopping, vacations and boytoys. Think trailor park when "your people" steal from you and the current mansion is under forclosure. Quite frankly, I'll feel sorry for your dogs.

You all are pond scum deserving an INCREDIBLY BAD fate for not using your wealth and, for some, talent, to CONTRIBUTE, NOT DETRACT FROM THE WORLD. Darfur residents don't care what you where you drink or where you party. Wake up and quit behaving like the embarrassing and worthless female sluts you are and take responsibility for your sick and worthless behavior. Sadly, you do impact young women and you all exhibit the roll model capabilities of Anna Nicole
