I knew it was going to happen. It was just a matter of time. Something told me that they weren't going to keep Paris Hilton in jail for the whole time period allotted. Celebrities just don't go through the same things as us normal people do. I mean, look at R. Kelly. Where in the world is his "peeing on 14 year-old girls" case going? I haven't heard anything else about it in a hot minute. And he's just going around "flirt"ing and having the "same girl" with people on his new album. I'm like hello you pee on little girls. Can justice prevail here?
But in true celebrity fashion Paris Hilton played a bogus "nervous breakdown" card. Someone on the Today Show put it best that a nervous breakdown is "a 50's thing" and I agree with him. You don't just have a nervous breakdown all of a sudden. There are other things that usually lead up to a nervous breakdown and 3 days in jail is not going to do it. There are people who have been in jail for years. If they say they're having a nervous breakdown can they be released early? And having studied a case about a bear company producing a bear wearing a straight jacket with the slogan "I'm crazy for you" and them getting hounded by groups that deal with the rights of the mentally ill, it's simply an unacceptable use of a psychiatric diagnosis.
Then the funny thing about the whole thing is that she has "been reassigned" to stay in her lavish Hollywood Hills home and has been fitted with an ankle bracelet. But how about she asked for cupcakes to be sent to her home and a stylist and a makeup artist to come over to ensure that she looks good. Uuuuummmm... what? Are you serious? I love you to death Paris and would switch places with you in a heartbeat pre-jail sentencing, but think about the message being sent to all your young fans. "If I can become real famous and do crazy things they aren't going to do anything about it."
I bet you someone got paid off real well. I still don't understand though how the Sheriff department made the decision for the reassignment when the judge himself said she would not be put under house arrest or work community service. Naomi got to do community service but all she did was hit someone with a phone. I'm pretty sure that might hurt and all that but not as much as it would hurt getting hit by a car driven by a drunken driver which Paris has clearly shown she does all the time. It's irresponsible and I'm upset that more than likely just because she's a celebrity that she got off so easy. I want to be a celebrity one day but number one I'm not going to lose my head and go crazy like most of these celebrities do. They're under a lot of pressure, I know, dealing with the media and all that crazy mess. But celebrities that choose to live in LA, where the paparazzi hang out the most, need to get over it. Move to Kentucky and build a big mansion or something. Don't get all down and out because your business is all out there neither. The life of a celebrity is a chosen one and if you can't handle it then get out and make room for those people who want to become a celebrity, not only to fulfill a dream and obtain certain rights and responsibilities, but to also help out in their community and other worldly affairs, gaining a platform that gives you the ability to reach a vast number of people. Instead of going out partying and drinking so much Paris how about you involve more of your time with charities and other outlets like that and maybe you won't get in trouble as much.
