French Whine

Paris Hilton, famous socialite and reality TV “star,” is hoping to appeal a California judge’s ruling that would have her serving 45 days in jail.
According to reports, Hilton was sentenced last week to 45 days in jail for violating her parole on charges of alcohol-induced reckless driving and license suspension. Police pulled Hilton over on a traffic stop in February, which proved to be a violation of her probation. To make matters worse, she showed up fashionably late to her hearing last week.
In a bid to avoid the simple life in jail, Hilton has even asked Calif. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to pardon her.
Meanwhile, Hilton fired her publicist after he admitted to not informing the socialite on the conditions of her probation.
I thought the Anna Nicole thing was a crock.
Paris. How dumb are you? Your license was suspended. That means you can’t drive. Driving a car violated your license suspension charge — hence, the parole violations. The charge itself is pretty self-explanatory. For someone who has signed contracts her whole life, I’m pretty sure you understand the definition of the legal term suspended.
Now, it’s nice and fun to get behind the celebrity, especially when they (boo hoo) didn’t know they were breaking a law, but Hilton was originally busted for drunken driving, in a state with extremely stiff drunken driving penalties. The fact that she got off with a suspended license and a slap on the wrist is insulting to us mere mortals who would have gotten a nice head wound from having the book thrown at us.
Paris, you’re going to jail. It will suck. Your publicist won’t be able to call you at all hours, the parties won’t be as interesting, the food probably won’t live up to your five-star lifestyle and the clothes only come in one-size-fits-all.
But you deserve it, and that’s just the way it is.
