There's been a great deal of hoopla surrounding Paris Hilton's arrival at jail this week — much as there should be. She's always flaunted her, "whatever" attitude, but this time, her devil-may-care ways have landed her in a heap of trouble.While it seems like tearing down famous people is an American sport, I think (in this case) it is well-deserved. Paris is famous for being famous... and little else. (And yes, I've had tons of those email advertising her sex tapes sent to my various in-box.)
And while I don't feel anything even resembling pity, I am proud of her... for more than the obvious reasons. First, and foremost, she's taking the punishment. Many celebs manage to avoid paying for their crimes (remember the whole Mel Gibson fiasco?), but not Paris.
And even though her sentence was reduced, I'm proud of her for serving it. And to be totally honest, her sentence was reduced by no fault of her own... it seems we have a problem with prison over-crowding here in California. Basically, Paris had her sentence reduced because our celeb-turned-politico state leader can't manage our prison system properly.But I digress... the real reason I'm proud of her is because of a story making the rounds in the media right now. Prior to turning herself into prison, Paris attended the MTV Movie Awards. On the red carpet, Paris mentioned that she had been offered a spot in a, "pay prison," or one of the secluded, and more comfortable prison assignments... and she turned it down.
She said she wanted to be treated just like everyone else, and serve her sentence. I've never been a big fan of Ms. Hilton's, but in this instance, I'm in her corner.

But have you noticed how bitches are responding with glee to her being in jail?
Paris is a rich girl who likes being rich. Wouldn't anyone? She has fun with it and many people are entertained and fascinated by her.
I find it disturbing to hear people so happy that she's in jail, and hearing inmates being released saying how everyone on the inside wants to beat her to death. I can't think of anything Paris has done AGAINST anybody to deserve that kind of animosity.
Paris is just a tall skinny girl with big feet who was born with a lot of money. The haters are just jealous.
yeah, she's famous for nothing. But it's all us losers who made her so famous by drooling over her every move.
