Is she still on probation? Is this an automatic trip back to jail?

"The 29-year-old celebrity socialite asked to go into the hotel for privacy because of the number people gathering, ..."

Not a kid anymore.

Rapidly approaching the age where it wouldn't be the least surprising to see a headline like "Paris Hilton found dead from overdose in luxury suite."

South Park got it right.

Nah, she is celebrity — she’ll get a perfunctionary slap on the wrist and told to behave until the next run-in with the law. That’s the life of a celebrity in America.

[jrg]

That’s Hot!

[antidemoncrat]

And here I thought it was just a lack of oxygen to her brain that made her act that way.

[DGHoodini]

for all the gifts she has been given..Far beyond i am ever likely to enjoy...

i feel sorry for the sad little rich girl. One bad choice after another.

They never learn because they keep getting breaks from the courts, actually follow through with the verdicts and they may get smart. I am so tired of these celebrities and their BS if the courts are going to give these A-holes breaks then give themm to every body.
