So the count down begins for yet another episode of a celebrity visiting the slammer. Those of you who watch T.V. or read newspaper or at least hear the radio will know by now that Paris Hilton, who is the heir of Hilton family, model, party lover or simply Ms. Pretentious, is about to begin her jail time starting June 5th for 45 days to serve out her sentence for violating the terms of her probation. She was charged with DUI and was on probation and was not allowed to drive during that period. This was not her first time to violate the law and she ended up driving and was pulled over, yet another time by the cops and taken to court where the judge gave her a sentence to serve 45 days in prison in LA.
Hilton said that cops usually pull her over because she is a celebrity and I am sure they will get a kick out of pulling celebrities and spending the time with them on a one-to-one basis on the shoulders of the highway or some local streets. The cops have a special detector that will signal them when a celebrity is coming by. I am sure. Hilton also said that she was unaware about the fact that she cannot drive and that she drove to work which should be considered alright. What part of the probation and cannot drive during that period, did she not understand. Oh well, she would have if she reads any of the mails right. She had said that she has people who reads the mails for her and that she simply signs on documents that is given to her to take care of business. What a life!
Hilton’s family and fans are supporting her on this and have petitioned (I believe) Governor Schwarzenegger to pardon her. I am sure he will understand and relate to this. How many times has he been pulled over as a celebrity? If he pardons her (I will bet he does – one because he can relate to it and two, he needs funding for his campaign - doesn’t he?) it will set a trend among the celebrities and there will be two sets of traffic laws, one for us and one for them – the celebrities. Whatever it is, if Hilton gets to spend the 45 days in prison, she can come up with more shows and more fame like Martha Stewart. It is not going to make any difference for her in terms of her driving behavior and following traffic laws. Life after 45 days will be the same as before or maybe filled with even more fame and glory, in addition to the money that she will make.
I had once seen her on a show where they were airing celebrity on camera. She was out on the streets and her car was running out of fuel and stopped. She was going on and on about how her assistants did not check her car for fuel. One of her fans came to help her out. He had gone and bought a 5 gallon container and filled it up with fuel, came back and filled her car with it. She gave that guy $10 for doing all that. Come on, that guy deserves more than $10. The cost of the container and the fuel itself would be more than $10 and the fact that he went and got the fuel for her during the night should mean something. The 45 days will at least slow her down a bit and keep her away from all that party-ing and give her some time to think and regroup.
