I vote we BBQ groverat for associating the word hero and Hilton in the same thread.
Groverat has driven me to cannibalism.

Now now, let's not eat groverat for suggesting that Paris is a hero. To some people she is, I'm sure. I think what he may have been shooting for is celebrity or icon.
Say what you want about her, but it's really disgusting to exploit her personal tragedy like this.
One more point: Good or bad, California Superior Court judges are elected to 6-year terms, so I would look for some Hilton-family cash to seriously fuck with his chances of re-election next time around.

Wow ... I can feel a tiny bit of empathy because the system screwed with her emotions (in-out-in), but seriously, uncontrollable bawling? How old is she?
She will be locked up for 20 more days (20!) and totally deserved it (pulled over twice after a suspended license from a DUI...driving at night with no headlights on).
If she ever had any respect whatsoever it is totally gone ... is it really so bad to sit in a cell for 20 days and contemplate why you're there, when you knowingly made multiple mistakes?

From the sounds of it, she might be more concerned with contemplating why her crotch is covered in red bumps and oozing puss.
Well, there's stone-faced, and then there's maturity... she failed at both pretty badly.

Um, yes.
For the average prisoner in the general prison population? Hell yes.
For a celebrity who has/gets to stay safe in her cell pretty much 24hrs a day... not so much. Sit there, twiddle your thumbs, read a book or 12, keep your head down and your mouth shut.
She and her ass-herpes didn't have to contend with general prison.
Driving under the influence once should be sufficient to have a license permanently revoked; the number of people killed in DUI accidents (usually not the drinker) will support this.
To then violate the probation for such a serious offence and even drive at night with no lights on goes beyond comprehension.
She is a repeat ofender, and she will do it again. And again. And again. She believes that her money will get her off; hopefully, there are enough judges out there who care more about doing their jobs right than keeping them so that they wil actually deal with this piece of trash effectively.
Well, there's stone-faced, and then there's maturity... she failed at both pretty badly.
Sure.
I don't fault her for crying though.
But I do fault her for yelling "it's not right." That to me doesn't indicate that she's internalized that her decisions led to imprisonment.

It's still prison.
Think about that.

We can't do that because having a car is so important in this country.
And plus that's excessively punitive.

Losing a license to drive because your failure to obey laws and place others at extreme risk is not excessive; it's responsible.
Perhaps the US should invest in better mass transit, increase the number of taxis and start a system like the Japanese have where a driver will drive your car home if you ave had a drink.

In my state you do lose your license to drive at every DUI tier and lose it for progressively longer periods with each subsequent DUI. What you're talking about is a mandatory lifetime license revocation for just *one* DUI, which is plainly unworkable. I know there's a desire to punish these people for making bad decisions, but you would unfairly punish people who just make a mistake or two rather than just the repeat offenders who habitually put others at risk.
it is clear enough for people living in the states that the anger/schadenfreude comes from the fact that for the first time it seems that a privileged criminal is actually being forced to serve what is a reasonable sentence. and she is doing this in the perhaps most undignified manner.
Nothing but public pacification of pent up grudges and anger for not being lucky enough to have a priviliged life.
She is being unfairly made an example of and that is not justice. It boils down to people with chips on their shoulders wanting revenge against people whose lifestyles they envy. In order to be 'seen' to be passing justice, the judge is making a mockery of justice.
As for the recent media hoohar, that was just sickening, and disgraceful.
Pretty much everyone in this thread is showing how pathetic they are. Getting pleasure out of seeing someone fucked over- someone who they could quite easily completely ignore if they chose too, someone who has no effect on your life unless you willfully allow it to be so, someone who is a bit dumb and a bit rich - screwed just because she is who she is.
if it was most other celebrities, I would agree with you marc.
But Paris Hilton made a name for herself by being infamous, she deserves this sickening ordeal as much as she deserved to be famous in the first place, but she is who she is, has what she has, and is being punished the way she is being punished.

The lot of you are well sad.
How has justice not been served by the courts? Her 47 (?) day sentence to prison for speeding while she had her license suspended seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Our culture is disgusting. We build up our heroes and then eat them alive.
Whoever thinks that bitch is a hero needs to be castrated and sent to jail with her.

I'd be more surprised if she didn't cry.
I'd expect only repeat felons to be stone-faced.

Is jail really so bad?
Um, yes.
Is it justified in her case?
Yeah, probably.

Yup.
She probably belongs in jail.

http://www.duihope.org/picture_drunk_driving_crash.html

"The 16,885 fatalities in alcohol-related crashes during 2005 represent an average
of one alcohol-related fatality every 31 minutes."

Well, she always wanted the attention, not she's got it.

But I think about this every day, and I'm not in jail.
Slut, Slag, Bitch, ass herpes,etc etc.
Really, what the fuck has Paris Hilton ever done to you?
At worst, she is just a source of mildly amusing entertainment that you can completely ignore if you so chose too.
Being rich and famous, amusingly stupid and (half) beautiful IS NOT a reason to hold a grudge against someone just because that is what they are.
But I think about this every day, and I'm not in jail.
At the very least you should have warned her.
