Hilton Says She'll No Longer 'Act Dumb'

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Paris Hilton says she is locking up her "dumb" act and throwing away the key.

Hilton revealed her new outlook in a weekend phone call to Barbara Walters from a county jail medical ward where she is serving out a 45- day sentence for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

"I used to act dumb. It was an act. I am 26 years old, and that act is no longer cute," Hilton said during the call, according to an account posted by Walters on ABC's Web site.

"It is not who I am, nor do I want to be that person for the young girls who looked up to me."

After spending three days in jail last week, Hilton was briefly released to electronically monitored home confinement Thursday for an undisclosed medical condition. An outraged judge sent her back to jail Friday.

According to ABC News, the call came after Hilton's mother, Kathy, phoned Walters. During the conversation, Paris Hilton called her mother on another line, found out her mother was talking to Walters, and then called Walters collect. All jail inmates are required to call collect.

Hilton reiterated assertions that jail has changed her: "Now, I would like to make a difference. ... God has given me this new chance."

In a related development, the Rev. Al Sharpton met with Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca on Monday and told reporters afterward that Hilton's situation exemplified an unfair legal system.

"People who cannot afford the best lawyers, people who cannot afford the best doctors are not going to get an early release," Sharpton said.

Baca has denied giving any special treatment to Hilton by reassigning her to home detention.

Also Monday, a claim against the county was announced by a black woman who has a prosthetic leg and was recently an inmate at the same jail where Hilton was held last week.

Her attorney, Gloria Allred, said Pamela Richardson, 51, also "had serious medical issues" but was treated much worse than Hilton. A claim against a government entity is a precursor to a lawsuit.

It’s been widely known that she has learning disabilities and couldn’t finish school past 9th grade.

She dropped out of high school but got her GED a couple of years ago.

Great, she'll probably end up in one of my nonmajor computer courses.

Furthermore, Hilton stated that she wants to "clean up her act, join the Army, and serve in Iraq".

Sorry FRiends, I got bored and just started making some crap up.

Good one! RFLOL

I for one, wish her well. At 26 she still has plenty of time to reinvent herself. I hope she can do it.

Good luck Paris.

I have no rocks to throw. I said the same thing when I turned 47. :-)

Didn’t I hear she started screaming “Mommy...MOMMY!

I’m sure that was heart breaking for her mother.

I'm sure it is a coincidence due to scheduling deadlines, but Turner Classic Movies (I think) was showing Caged, Reform School Girls and probably other "women in prison" movies last night...

’m with you. I just pray that this will change her life. The one question I have is what God is she referring too? Is it Jesus? I bet if she became a Christian while in jail, she would get an added benefit she hadn’t thought of. The media would no longer think she is news worthy and they may actually leave her alone.

We'd be talking something on the level of the conversion of Saul on the road to Damascus...

I would hope it would also be embarrassing. I have a 27 yr old daughter who got to spend the afternoon in the poke for an unpaid speeding ticket. She called in hysterics because she'd never had anything like this happen before and they'd put her in a holding cell with some prostitutes. Until this happened, she'd had a cavalier attitude about everything. Not anymore. Things like this can make one's lights come on in a hurry. *chuckle*

Now we know she has a “severe case of ADD”, according to TMZ.com. That would have made classroom study very difficult without meds.

ADD kids aren’t necessarily slow thinkers. This one seems like a reeeeeally slow thinker, so she may have a double scoop of disability.

It may not be her brain as much as her motivation, or lack thereof. She knew she would never have to do a days work in her life.

It never was cute.
