Celebrity Justice
Paris Won't Appeal

Paris HiltonParis Hilton has issued the following statement:

"Today I told my attorneys not to appeal the judge's decision. While I greatly appreciate the Sheriff's concern for my health and welfare, after meeting with doctors I intend to serve my time as ordered by the judge.

This is by far the hardest thing I have ever done. During the past several days, I have had a lot of time to reflect and have already learned a bitter, but important lesson from this experience.

As I have said before, I hope others will learn from my mistake. I have also had time to read the mail from my fans. I very much appreciate all of their good wishes and hope they will keep their letters coming.

I must also say that I was shocked to see all of the attention devoted to the amount of time I would spend in jail for what I had done by the media, public and city officials. I would hope going forward that the public and the media will focus on more important things, like the men and women serving our country in Iraq, Afghanistan and other places around the world."

46. One of her high paid lawyers probably brought her to reality, in that, the likelihood of getting another judge to overturn the trial judges sentence was about as probable as Hilton serving as US Amasador to the UN.

49. I pray that it is true, that she is LEARNING meaningful life
lessons....That she is "WAKING" up .

That when she comes out...She does not go back to her old, drinking, driving, drugging, porn making, racist comment making, Insulting, Thumbing her nose at the law and
everyone else ways....!!!

I truly wish her well...and that this is the time
for her to FINALLY GROW up, and do something really meaningful with
the rest of her life....

50. That's the most mature thing I heard her say yet. If she means it, great. I hope she continues to 'reflect'. She would really be admired if she chooses to change herself and start using her influence to sincerely do good things. If not, well, I guess none of us should be surprised. It will be sad to see the Hilton name be remembered more for her antics than for it's outstanding accommodations.

51. For someone that didn't get a High School diploma she seems awfully literate.

You expect us to believe YOU wrote those words Paris?

Too bad you didn't take the high road and have someone drive FOR you.

And even worse, you can't PAY anybody to serve for you.

We go to school to learn to read and FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. It's simple and easy.

Deal with it.

52. Yea, it's a bitch once you draft the appeal and realize you don't have crap to say.

53. Some of you are so gullible. All rich people in the public eye have publicists. All it proves is that Paris has one who is earning her paycheck. Nice speech.

54.

The American Media does NOT lie to Americans. SO it IS the statement of Paris Hilton.
You just hate that she is smarter than you.

55. That shrink must be good for her to deliver a statement like that!

56. Like this worthless skank cares about the troops! But glad to see she has decided to quit boo hooing and finally act like an adult!

57. So, who is the moron who wrote this crap for her??

Babe, your time to look tough and reasonable is long gone.

Because of your moronic lawyers, psychiatrist and advisors, you will forever be seen as a pathetic goat.

58. She's just trying to save her "career," whatever that is.

Too bad we all know what she really is - a whiny, selfish, self-absorbed b*otch.

The best thing she can do after getting out is to just disappear!

59. WOW Paris, now, that is a grown up woman talking! What took you so long

60. In the future, when we see someone famous taking it on the chin, we'll look back at these times, and say "they're showing real Parisian values"...
or we might not.
