Celebrity Justice
Jailed Paris -- "Polite, Gracious"

Hutton, Paris HiltonShe's stuck in solitary confinement with only one hour of free time a day, but so far, Paris Hilton is being described as a "polite and gracious" prisoner. That's hot!

In a statement outside the Los Angeles jail where the heiress is being held, Hilton's lawyer, Richard Hutton, told the media that Paris is "doing very well under the circumstances." But the circumstances, according to Hutton, are pretty harsh.

According to Hutton, Paris was forced into a 100-sq. ft. "administrative segregation" (a fancy word for solitary confinement) cell because of her celebrity status. She's only allowed out of her tiny cell for one hour a day to "be in the module, take a shower and talk on the phone."

Hutton also said that his client's stealthy, late-night surrender was Hilton's idea, adding that "Paris didn't want to make a media circus out of the event. She just wanted to quietly start serving her time."

Hutton added that Paris will be doing a fair amount of self-reflection during her time in the clink, because "she wants to change the attitudes that exist about her." Good luck, Ms. Hilton.

No yelling shhh >Thick concrete block walls, Steel door, Intercom system voice visit once in while.
I'm sure by now the guards have given Paris a radio. The money that girl has on her books ( to buy from the county mall ) well I'll just say I'm not to worried about her finding entertainment. She can find Jesus,Buy CD's or learn to play a musical instrument. $49.96 + tax

78. So Levin is trying to portray Paris as some kind of a "victim", now. Paris isn't the victim, the "PUBLIC" is the victim. She could just as easily be in prison doing time for manslaughter. What a self-righteous fool, - just one of the more endearing qualities the world's come to detest about her and her family.

79. Just let her serve her time with no publicity. Quit giving her the time of day and see how model she becomes. Why keep getting lawyer visits? You already know your sentence so why consult with an attorney. Don't worry your partners are coming there to. All of you girls need to be taught a lesson. Money don't buy everything. All of you must accept respondsibility for your own actions. Rehab should mean reformity. Paris who should be the next Blog.

80. I have to admit, I'm NOT a fan of Paris Hilton anymore (being an attractive woman myself who likes to dress up and have a good time out on the town, I used to like her bold and ultra-feminine style, the cool way she walked and talked, and generally seemed in her words, being "hot", but not after all her endless crazy antics and especially her racial/ gay slurs-definitely not "hot"!).

My message to Paris: As you've stated, you're going to use this jail time to reflect upon your life and plan your next course of life. I congratulate that, I hope that that statement is the truth and not just some public relations maneuvering on your part that you will laugh about later to your club friends.

Now, being a public relations pro and as a woman who likes to have a good time, but likes to live life with a sense of compassion and conscience -I want to give you some advice:
1) Love yourself: Partying is fine, life is short, and you should enjoy it, but don't do it in excess at the expense of all the other areas of your life like your spiritual, physical, emotional, and mental state (example: no more drinking and driving for you young lady - and if you do plan to drink, hire a driver, aren't you rich enough?!)
2) Love others: Stop all hateful comments and actions about and against others (case in point, all your frenemies like Lindsey, Nicole, Shannah Moakler, who else, so many I can't remember). But, most especially stop the hateful comments about other races/ ethnicities/ gender orientation (it's one thing to bash other celebs who can take it and maybe even deserve it, but to bash people based on things like race/ ethinicity/ gender orientation shows a true lack of compassion, empathy, decency, education, and upbringing on your part (I can just imagine how your parents just turn red in the face every time some crazy thing you said/ did comes out in the media).
3) Love the world: You are TRULY privileged - Do something beneficial with your fame, influence, and money for the underprivileged.
4) Love education: You are truly privileged, Get yourself a world-class education. You can socialize by night, but spend your days reading, learning, being a perpetual student of life. Learn everything from art to zoology. I think that would be one of the greatest joy and privilege. I loved my days in college. You really should try it. Paris, "the thinker", now that would really be "hot"!
5) Love those who really love you: Surround yourself with people who really do care about you and care about others, and jettison those fakers around you who're really using you and don't give a damn about you and who will propel you down the wrong path.

I truly think that what really lies at the heart of this Hollywood younger generation problem (all the drinking, drugs, promiscuity, etc.) is 1) a lack of education, 2) lack of proper supportive people, and 3) lack of self control. 1) They're so caught up with the Hollywood shuffle that they never stop to get a proper education, which would go a long way in making those celebs stop and think before doing something stupid, and do what's right. 2) As I've stated before, the actors are so surrounded by yes people who do anything to hang on or who use these celebs for their own gain do not give helpful advice or a reality check. "NO you shouldn't do that!" is the best advice a friend can give sometimes.
3) Lastly, you have to control your own behavior and admit your own wrong doings and not do stupid things like blame your employees (to Paris' publicist: Mintz, it was a stupid move to blame yourself and not Paris about not knowing whether she was driving on a suspended license; whether it was your idea or hers, it was dumb. Haven't you learned from the Tylenol fiasco? Better to own up to your faults and then control the damage).

Ok, I think I went on long enough and I liked getting all that off my chest, but hopefully, this message helps someone, if not Paris, then those who look up to her.

81. Honestly, the hiltons are nothing but hemaroids on the butt of civilised society in my opinion and shouldn't even be given the time of day.

82. Ya know, Paris' lawyer said she's being treated differently because of her celebrity status & is basically in solitary confinement because of it. Well, whose fault is it that she's a celebrity?? Just like driving drunk & then driving with a suspended license is her fault, so is being a celebrity. I guess it's cool (or hot) to deal with all the positive perks that come from being a celebrity, but suddenly it becomes a bad thing when there's perceived negative consequences. PLEASE.

84. He looks like an asshole who is pimping his legal services to the public to keep themselves out of jail.

89. They're trying to say ...whoa for Paris being punished in such a harsh way for ONLY driving with a suspended licence...why are they ignoring HOW she got her licence suspended...DUI is serious....

90. I think the whole "segregation" bit is ridiculous. If she was in with the other inmates, like she should, the lawyer would have been bitching that they are putting her in danger. Please, for Harvey and anybody for that matter, to say her punishment was too "harsh" is pathetic. I mean she got time off for good behavior before she put her toe in the door. She is getting speacial treatment in more ways than one. If it was any average Jane or Joe they would have been in jail for the full 45 days.
