Paris says she's never done drugs. Come on..we've all seen her doing drugs. But, she's never been accused of having an addiction other than her prescription drugs. In fact, I've read many reports of how her friends like Lohan and Poon would snort it up and Paris would pass, prefering to dance on tables showing her ass. She should have just told the truth though, that she HAS done drugs. Larry was direct and didn't seem "taken" by her and she didn't seem to have the abiltiy to answer questions like an adult. She's a puzzle.
I loved it how she said she bought a bible in jail and when asked what her favorite passage was, she looked away and said she doesn't have a favorite. You know she didn't read the bible in jail. She couldn't get past the big words to save her skinny ass.
I'm still suprised that everyone thought that Paris' interview would actually be INTERESTING. All she did was bitch about "how tough 23 days of jail is." She's so, so, so dumb
Why would she lie like that? Is she clueless as to what a fucking fool she has made of herself? Damn, she had a golden opportunity to make herself into something close to real. How can she think that her drug pictures have been seen by gazillions of people? I am serious when I ask this: Is she stupid?
I need a google filter for "Paris Hilton" -- not since Dark Shadows of my extreme youth have I been so hooked on a soap opera! So I know way too much detail about this case. But this all actually raises some important issues (so I tell myself).
It's sad that Paris still doesn't have a clue, as seen from the Larry King "interview". She got a much-needed timeout from her bad environment (aka family and friends) but now is right back in the middle of it, with everybody telling her that she's a victim and didn't deserve it, etc. etc.. She needs someone who really cares about her to tell her just the opposite: that she was very lucky to get caught, that she was very lucky to get a judge who treated her like a real person, that she should be thanking the judge rather than letting her "people" try to tear him down.
Oh, and somebody might mention to her also that ironic though it is that the prosecutor's wife is also a scofflaw -- nobody every died from someone accumulating a pile of unpaid parking tickets or not having proof of insurance. Drunk drivers are responsible for a huge fraction of traffic fatalities every year (40% in one recent year's statistics I saw for just one state), and that's not even including people maimed by the drunks. That's why driving on a suspended license stemming from a DUI, especially while on probation, is much more serious. For the parking tickets, the courts just want their money, so generally people get jailtime only if they don't have the $$$. DUI scofflaws get jail even if they have $$$, as Paris discovered.
Paris keeps spouting irrelevant statistics, comparing her situation with people unfairly released before much more deserving prisoners by a corrupt sheriff. She doesn't seem to understand that the unfairness is with the revolving door for "special" people the sheriff has set up - not with her sentence. And please do the math: if 80% of similar cases in LA got lighter sentences, that just means she has more in common with the other 20% who got her sentence or longer...
She didn't just lie to Larry King. Good grief, she lied to the judge! (Not good to do before sentencing...) She was lucky she wasn't prosecuted for perjury. You see, that first time she was picked up on her suspended license, she got a nice lecture from the cop, who had her sign a statement that she understood that her license was suspended for 4 months (standard for California DUI), and the cop made her get out of the driver's seat and had her passenger (with a valid license) drive her home. There is no way she could not have known her license was suspended the second time she was caught, for very reckless driving. She had been given the gift of probation for the DUI (swerving enough to catch the attention of the cops, blood alcohol high enough for no legal contest, failed sobriety test - yes, she was driving drunk) but blew it. Probation means "keep your nose clean if you want to avoid jailtime". It does not mean "okay to do whatever you want, if you're caught breaking the rules then we'll just, um, put you on probation again and let you do a public service announcement".
It's too bad it wasn't considered safe for her to do her time (light though it really was for a DUI plus probation violations-in my state, she would face mandatory 60 days the first time she drove suspended) in the general population - if she could have really talked with other women in jail, maybe it would have helped her see that other people have far more difficult situations. Maybe she would realize that a DUI like her should be at the bottom of the list for early release for overcrowding (as she was still hoping for, according to her little chat from jail with Barbara Walters) - a really fair release program would let truly nonviolent prisoners like the many in jail just for possession out before people who aim their cars at the rest of us like a loaded weapon. Certainly if there really is no more room a the inn, it makes more sense to give someone a break who has been there for months in order to make room for new people, not to release someone who just arrived for a short sentence. Otherwise the sheriff is the one handing out sentences rather than the judge, which is just what we try to avoid by separating the powers. We don't really want police to be judge and jury.
Drunk drivers are hard nuts to crack - they have to make the decision to leave the car keys home before they drink or drug, because the effect of the alcohol or other drug is to make them overconfident about their driving ability. It can take very little alcohol (even a small glass of wine) to impair driving ability, it varies from person to person, with skinny women like Paris who don't eat much while drinking especially easily affected. Legal penalties are intended to make them uncomfortable enough so once they are caught (usually after getting away with drunk driving many times before), they don't want to risk getting caught again and make other arrangements to get where they're going. The judge believed that other options just wouldn't make enough of an impression in her case (mainly because she just has too much money to be inconvenienced easily), and I have to agree with him on this even though I'm usually a great supporter of alternatives to jail. If jail did have this impact on her, so she lets someone else drive, he may literally have saved her life (as well as a few others).
Paris looked better coming out of jail than I've ever seen her - maybe completely sober for the first time in a long time? She looked alive rather than spacey. We only have the right to demand that she doesn't drive under the influence of alcohol and other drugs -- but we can hope that she'll manage to stay sober in general for her own sake. My guess is that it's all or nothing with her, and "social drinking or drugging" isn't a good option for her to risk. Mixing alcohol with her prescription meds in particular is a recipe for disaster.
Yeah you are right, i am still surprised that everyone thought that Paris interview would actually be interesting. ==================================== tomcruise

She's psychotic. There's nobody home.
Yeah, you're right. It was a boring interview. Paris is such a backwards child.

I saw pictures of pot in her purse, maybe she just doesnt consider pot a drug, she is a dumb ass liar.
