This bitch has been stopped for reckless driving 4 times, and she hasn't learned a damn thing from any of it. She thinks it's all one big joke and that she's above it all because of who she is. One of these days, she's going to kill someone if she doesn't get her [!@#$%^&*] together and accept responsibility for her actions. When that happens, then what? Should she just walk because she didn't know that she shouldn't be doing it?

While normally I wouldn't find it cause for celebration that someone is going to jail, this time I will make an exception. I'm so happy that judge wasn't starstruck and did the right thing. My grandfather was killed by a 21 year old drunk driver who was out partying on the weekend with a suspended license. When he was in court, he made the comment "So what? It was just an old man." I have zero sympathy for anyone caught DUI and especially for someone who has been repeatedly warned AND HAS THE MONEY TO PAY FOR A DRIVER!! Maybe (although I doubt it) this will teach Paris a lesson and she will consider some lifestyle changes. She's what--26? Time to start being a responsible adult. You can have fun without endangering other people.

Hilton appears on the glossy magazine's June cover with her equally legally challenged sidekick Nicole Richie. Richie was busted on DUI charges in December after two motorists reported her SUV was going the wrong way on a California freeway.

Wearing zebra-print outfits meant to resemble jail stripes, the two starlets are pictured in a Harper's Bazaar photo shoot running from models dressed as policemen.

Just like her and her family to make a joke out of this and try and cash in on it. Gawd, they make me sick! Drunk Driving is NOT a [!@#$%^&*] joke! I lost a childhood friend to a drunk driver and another friend is paralyzed from the neck down because a spoiled rich kid who decided to drive drunk. And the driver only got her license pulled for 90 days and didn't even go to jail bcause daddy was a Judge and mommy was a Lawyer. :angry:

Harper's Bazaar should be ashamed of themselves for even making light of the situation.

First ofd act7 I'm not shoving anything down your throat. I'm simply defending Paris and pointing out how pathetic some of the tirades against this one woman are. Crime is crime and I think hers isn't that big a deal. Of course she still has to pay but the fact is that you don't want her to pay because she committed a crime. You want her to pay because you hate her...at least thats my opinion and I'm sticking to it (see I'm not "putting words in your mouth"). I just believe that some people hate her and want to see bad thing happen to her regardless of whether she deserves it (as in this case) or not. So please don't try to use the noble route. I've already said that yes she did a crime and now needs to serve the time.

2nd that article is hilarious... I love Paris! This won't even hurt her one bit. Its not as if shes going to Rikers or something...HAHA. That's NOT Hot...

Not to be rude, but I'm about to get real frank here and if this gets me into trouble so be it, cause it is sh*t like this and attitudes like this that piss me the heck off. Her crime wasn't a big deal? Are you kidding me? She was driving drunk on a suspended licsense! She could have seriously hurt or even KILLED someone. Is the light starting to come on now? Somone could have died because she was being stupid and thinks she is some type of goddess. Now I know you are a fan but this is just ridiculous and absurd that you think that her crime is nothing. That has got to be the most ridiculous thing I've ever read in my life and trust, I've heard some pretty crazy crap in my day. Please pointed out where I said the phrase "I hate her" Sorry but I was brought up never to hate anyone, so why start now? I'm not jealous of her or her money. She can take that money and head right on up to Lynwood. I don't wish any harm on people BUT sometimes people do deserve their bit of karma. She is not the nicest person in the world and that is just common knowledge and she doesnt't make the best decisons either. I will damn sure use the noble route and I'm not going to let anyone stop me. And I'm sticking by that. Whatever, some people are still going to view her as trash no matter what and trust me, going to jail sure isn't helping. Doesn't matter what jail she is going to, its still jail, so she'll get to kick with the other fellow criminals. Let me put this out there for you, if she would have hurt someone, would have been a big deal? Better yet, KILLED someone? OR to put it all out there, lets say it was one of your loved ones? Would that have been hot? Nuff said!

First off Marilyn you are totally wrong. Paris has not been charged for driving drunk with a suspended license. She had a DUI last year, which she was given probation for and had her license suspended. She was caught driving without a license. She is being charged because she violated her probation not because she was driving drunk with a suspended license.

Paris Hilton Appeals Jail Sentence

By Sara Hammel and Stephen M. Silverman

Paris Hilton has appealed her 45-day jail sentence for violating her probation, according to papers released Monday.

The one-page notice of appeal was filled out by hand and filed Friday shortly after the judge issued the sentence.

"It's a long shot," Loyola Law School professor Laurie Levenson tells PEOPLE of the appeal's chances. "I wouldn't hold my breath. It was a clear-cut case against her. Paris's excuses didn't ring true."

Lawrence Taylor, a 30-year DUI attorney, says, "Her chances of winning an appeal are little to none. The prosecutors had a slam dunk case. The evidence was overwhelming that she repeatedly violated probation."

In all, it has been a tumultuous few days for Hilton. After the sentencing, she was so upset she fired her longtime publicist – then scheduled a dinner with him to discuss the matter.

She also spoke out for the first time over the weekend. Described as visibly shaken and tearful, the heiress, 26, who had been found in violation of her probation after she drove with a suspended license, made her feelings clear to photographers waiting outside her Los Angeles home on Saturday night.

"I told the truth," said Hilton, according to Reuters (and first reported by TMZ.) "I feel that I was treated unfairly, and that the sentence is both cruel and unwarranted. I don't deserve this."

Hilton, however, did foretell of her punishment in an interview she gave beforehand to Harper's Bazaar, for its June issue. "I think I get in more trouble just because of who I am," she says, as reported in Monday's New York Daily News.

"The cops do it all the time," she is quoted as saying. "They'll just pull me over to hit on me. It's really annoying. They're like, 'What's your phone number? Want to go to dinner?' "

Despite her current legal woes, Hilton says that police rarely write her up. "They just pull me over, and the paparazzi, of course, take a picture," she complains. "All the time. I have so many cops' business cards."

The Simple Life star must report to jail by June 5, and it's also not likely that she will benefit from an early release program for non-violent offenders that has been used to ease overcrowding in Los Angeles jails.

"(That program) is not in effect for Paris Hilton because of the judge's order," says L.A. Sheriffs spokesman Steve Whitmore. "It's our understanding she is most likely going to do 45 days."

At her hearing, Hilton had told Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Sauer that her publicist Elliot Mintz had repeatedly informed her that her license had been suspended for only 30 days and that she could still drive for work-related matters. After the hearing, she fired Mintz.

"Paris was very upset after the hearing as you can well imagine. Extremely upset. I was equally as upset," Mintz tells PEOPLE. "But the (firing) action was generated by her. I completely understood the reaction. She was in a traumatic, frightened state on Friday, when the judge made the insane ruling. I understood her reaction from the very second it occurred."

Since then, emotions have cooled, and Mintz says he plans to meet with Hilton over dinner.

"We're going to talk the way intelligent folks speak to each other. Not on cell phones and blackberries," he says. "We are going to see where it takes us."

He adds: "I'm more interested in resolution to anger. The process of healing is always more intoxicating to me than the separation."

After brief breakup, Paris rehires publicist

Schwarzenegger hasn’t reviewed fan petition requesting clemency

LOS ANGELES - (AP) The many moods of Paris Hilton shifted again when the jail-bound socialite rehired the publicist she blamed for her 45-day sentence.

Elliot Mintz confirmed to The Associated Press on Tuesday that he is again representing the 26-year-old socialite, who was ordered to report to county jail by June 5 for violating the terms of her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

Mintz, 62, wouldn’t elaborate on why he reunited with Hilton. The publicist, whose clients have included John Lennon and Bob Dylan, issued a statement Sunday night that he and Hilton had parted ways over an apparent “misunderstanding she received from me regarding the terms of her probation.”

n a court appearance Friday, Hilton told the judge Mintz informed her it was all right to drive on a suspended license for work obligations. Mintz also testified Hilton believed she was allowed to drive. The judge called Mintz’s testimony worthless.

Hilton — star of E! network’s reality show “The Simple Life” — has called the sentence unfair, and her fans have posted a petition on the Internet urging Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to pardon her.

“I feel that I was treated unfairly and that the sentence is both cruel and unwarranted and I don’t deserve this,” Hilton told photographers assembled outside her home Saturday.

In an interview for the June issue of Harper’s Bazaar, Hilton says: “I get in more trouble just because of who I am. The cops do it all the time. They’ll just pull me over to hit on me.”

“It’s really annoying. They’re like, ‘What’s your phone number? Want to go to dinner?’ They won’t even give me a ticket. They just pull me over, and the paparazzi, of course, take a picture. All the time. I have so many cops’ business cards.”

The governor’s office hasn’t reviewed the petition but has received individual e-mails from constituents both for and against a gubernatorial pardon, Schwarzenegger spokesman Aaron McLear said Tuesday.

“We’ll treat this as we would any other case of this nature, but it would be premature for the governor to get involved until the individual has exhausted his or her judicial remedies,” McLear said.

The petition, which had more than 900 signatures by Tuesday morning, urges Schwarzenegger to pardon Hilton because she provides “beauty and excitement to (most of) our otherwise mundane lives.”

Meanwhile, Hilton’s lawyers have filed a notice with the court indicating their intent to appeal the decision. The document is required before a formal appeal can be lodged.

The latest installment of “The Simple Life,” which throws Hilton and pal Nicole Richie, 25, into everyday situations, premieres May 28 on E! After famously feuding and filming their parts separately last season, the celebutantes reunite as camp counselors for the show’s fifth installment.

Okay say that to the person who is in the body bag the next time she f*cks up. That is the point, she f*cked up, got caught and she is going to jail. She is wrong for what she did and she needs to pay. I bet you wouldn't say that to any ordinary Jill or Joe who would be in the same situation but its the media whore that gets it and then its okay for her to do whatever she wants, right? GMAB! Its sad that people besides her lawyer, family and friends are defending her. I find it rather pathetic that fans are bending over backwards for her like she is the victim. So sad.

When did drunk driving and driving on a suspended license become "nothing serious"?

Oh its Paris, didn't you know? She can get away with it because of who she is. Anyone else deserves to go to jail, but when it comes to her, roll out the red carpet. She is the best thing, next to the second coming of Christ :rolleyes: .

Exactly. If Paris were anyone else but a spiled rotten rich bitch, she wouldn't be receiving so many allowances.
