Background from the Los Angeles Times:
Paris Hilton, her long blond hair tied back in a ponytail and oversized sunglasses shading her eyes, pulled up to L.A. traffic court near downtown Friday more than 15 minutes late for her probation violation hearing.
It was perhaps a moment when being prompt would have proved more fashionable.
Two hours later, Hilton departed with a 45-day jail sentence and a verbal comeuppance from the judge, who told her the time had come to take responsibility for her own actions. She has until June 5 to report to Century Regional Detention Center in Lynwood to serve her time or risk a total of 90 days behind bars.
On the stand, the socialite blamed her handlers for her being caught behind the wheel twice while her driver’s license was suspended for a drunk-driving conviction.
Asked whether she had understood the terms of the drunk-driving plea that she agreed to Jan. 22, Hilton, 26, said: “I just sign what people tell me to sign…. I’m a very busy person.”
At one point, her attorney, Howard L. Weitzman — calling his client someone with “unique issues and needs” who simply made a mistake — tried to shoulder some of the fault Hilton was placing on others.
Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer saw it otherwise.
“She disregarded everything and continued to drive,” Sauer said.
45 days is not long enough for this entitled idiot.
Maybe another choice is in order.
I choose 6 months behind bars.
She’s too busy? Doing what? Partying?
Can’t she afford a chauffeur?
Obviously, lil missy needs one based on her lack of sense and regard for the law.
Punishment: take away all of her money/privilege for one year and make her get a f***ing job!
Oh. Wait. She already did that and they made it into a reality TV show.
Okay, add: no TV for a year and restricted to her room when she’s not working, no gameboy, no boys, no girls (God, that I even have to say that), AND… no freakin’ phone or camera crew or hair care products.
I guess that about does it.
lol
I voted, “who cares?”
I’m tired of hearing about Paris Hilton.
