Paris Hilton is calling on her fans to help her stay out of jail - by endorsing an online petition they can sign. The desperate socialite, who was sentenced to serve 45 days in jail last week after violating terms of her 2006 drink-driving arrest, has teamed up with a pal called Joshua to urge fans to help her. In a post on her MySpace blog, Hilton, who is also asking California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to pardon her, writes, "My friend Joshua started this petition. Please help and sign it. I love you all!" The petition, which is addressed to Schwarzenegger, claims "the American public who support Paris are shocked, dismayed and appalled by how Paris has been the person to be used as an example that drunk driving is wrong. She provides hope for young people all over the US and the world. She provides beauty and excitement to (most of) our otherwise mundane lives. If the late former President Gerald Ford could find it in his heart to pardon the late former President Richard Nixon after his mistake(s), we undeniably support Paris Hilton being pardoned for her honest mistake as well." Hilton is due to start serving time by June 5 if her appeal fails, after being sentenced at a hearing at Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday.

Even the strongest conservatives need to laugh every now and then.
I agree, but I think that most of us FReepers are insulted by the wall to wall coverage given to this ignorant, vulgar unimportant pop star.
True, it gives bottom feeders like Nancy Grace and Greta a couple of weeks of tabloid TV. But what an insult to us as the viewing audience! Sure, it’s worthy of some note on the last page of a celebrity gossip sheet. But 24/7 coverage? And did all of you take note of the passionate “debate” about the 45 days in jail for a drunk who could have killed people? Good God! Give us a break! You’d think we were talking about ten years in the Soviet gulag!
With all the important news in the world this is something cable TV wants to highlight!
What an arrant waste of time and potential. But, then again, maybe what the networks think of our mentalities is true.
I don’t use Paypal so no thanks, but thanks for the link.
If I were a prisoner when she arrived, I'd put a big sign up "Welcome to the Hilton "
Ever wonder if
Paris might be a real life
d’Anconia?! *
--------------------------------------------------------------
* Francisco d’Anconia
The wealthy and accomplished Francisco is a profoundly intelligent and highly successful man whose whole life is a paradox. He was the first man to join Galt’s strike and serves as its recruiter, living in two worlds as he tries to bring others over to the strikers’ side. Although he is a brilliant businessman, he deliberately destroys d’Anconia Copper and brings down the fortunes of many others with it. And although he has only ever loved Dagny, he plays the part of a promiscuous playboy as a cover for his real activities. He is enthusiastic and benevolent, although much of his strike-related activities cause others, especially Dagny and Rearden, to feel he is mocking and untrustworthy. Francisco has a profound effect on Rearden, whom he genuinely loves, even while knowing Rearden is Dagny’s lover. He serves as Rearden’s protector, arming him with the moral certainty he needs to battle the looters. He seems to appear at Rearden’s side when he is needed most, and saves his life in the mill riots.
Francisco’s commitment to the strike is absolute, but he suffers a great deal for it. First, he must give up Dagny and allow her to view him as depraved and worthless. Later, he must endure Rearden’s hatred as well, when he is forced to betray him in a copper deal. And he must continually work to destroy the company his family built for generations. But the suffering is worth the price for him, because he is sure that he is right. Eventually, Dagny and Rearden come to understand and admire him, and the strike he devotes his life to works as planned.
In other words, you want Paris Hilton to be sexually assaulted.
It was a joke. Chill.
And after all, what could be funnier than sexual assault?
