Some people seem to be forgetting that she originally received no jail time on reduced charges, and that her incarceration is a result of her actions after the she was originally charged. She did not attend the drunk driving school that she was required to as part of that sentence, nor did she stop driving, even though her license was suspended. In court, she denied knowing that her license was suspended even after she had signed papers admitting that knowledge. Generally speaking, people who violate probation repeatedly get put where they can more easily follow the rules.

Free Paris Hilton!!



...I love Paris in the springtime

I don't think she's free, but she does seem to be pretty cheap.

She may be cheap but you can't say she's priced reasonably. Nothing about her is reasonable.

I heard today that when Paris gets out she is being offered $1 Million for an interview

Don't worry guys, eventually it will be our turn to get our chance to have an overnite stay inside the Hilton....
Who knows you might even get to take home a souvenier video of your stay...
