Money makes the world go round.

Many of you already know that Paris Hilton went to jail for violating her probation by drinking and driving. The heiress to the Hilton dynasty has made her fame by doing nothing but drinking, partying, and sharing her famous home sex tape that you can find all over the net. She was sentenced to 45 days in prison, and was also told that there would not be any chance of being released early. Poor Paris! I found this quote which talks about how Paris felt. Check this:

Paris says if she goes to jail, even for just a day, her life will be over. She knows she'll lose a lot of work if she gets a reputation as someone who has done time. Her whole career is based on her image and maintaining a fan base - she has nothing else to rely on. She's petrified. She's the butt of quite a few jokes in Los Angeles these days and she hates it. She's been crying a lot, especially when she's been drinking, and is scared that her life is falling apart. She's missed two club appearances in the past couple of weeks. People in the industry are taking her less seriously and she doesn't feel like she's Hollywood's Golden Girl any more. She's more alone than ever before right now and this could be one situation she can't charm her way out of."

I guess some people just live a hard life huh? A millionaire who just parties and waves to the camera is now going to have a mental breakdown because she has to face the music. Although the rich princess was sentenced for her non negotiable 40 days in the pen, somehow her sentence was cut in half due to "good behaviour", or what I call a huge payout. It's ridiculous that because she is a celebrity she doesn't have to serve her full sentence. She also was put in a special cell for high officials, celebrities, or what they call "special people". Why is this woman the center of headline news? Who cares if she has to go to jail for a DUI, when there are probably thousands of drunks that get them everyday? Mika Brzezinski stood up to MSNBC as she refused to read what was to be the leading story of Hilton's jail release over news on the war in Iraq and news from the White House. The video of this has now been viewed by thousands on youtube . After five days in prison Paris was released and reassigned to house arrest where she must wear an ankle bracelet and cannot leave her house due to what they say to be "privacy reasons". So basically after five days the poor girl couldn't take it anymore and faked some sort of medical sickness which allowed her to serve the rest of her sentenced in her Beverly Hills Mansion. Sounds rough doesn't it? This is a definite slap in the face to all who have to serve their full sentence or even people who have been wrongfully accused and have to serve. I guess it's just there to show you how money can change anything. So the lesson learned is...everything has a price and if have the money you can buy anything, even your freedom!
