A Night in Jail -- Or a Publicity Stunt?
I have to admit – I laughed my butt off when I read this headline this AM. It couldn’t have happened to a “nicer” person.

Paris Hilton booked on DUI charges
LOS ANGELES - Paris Hilton was arrested early Thursday for investigation of driving under the influence, police said.
Hilton was arrested shortly before 12:30 a.m. after being pulled over in Hollywood, said police Officer I. Isabella, who declined to give his first name.
Police stopped Hilton because she was "driving erratically," he said.
"The officers observed that Hilton exhibited the symptoms of intoxication. A field sobriety test was conducted at scene, and the officers determined she was driving under the influence," Isabella said, reading a police statement.
Hilton was booked on suspicion of misdemeanor DUI and released, he said.

The only problem? She’ll plead no contest, get a minor slap on her hand, pay a small fine, and that’s it. She won’t go to jail, she won’t lose her license, she won’t be forced into AA meetings, and she definitely won’t be ashamed by her stupidity. (Or at least not for this offense.) They’ll blow it off as if it was no big deal.
Personally, I hope the courts decide to make an example out of her, to show young, dumb girls of all wealth levels that it’s not cool to drink and drive. But the odds of that happening are about the same as they are for me actually buying a copy of Paris’ “album”. So you might as well fuggedaboutit.
But if they do yank her license, I suppose she can always just ask her pal Lindsay to drive her around. As long as she can keep from plowing into another tree from “exhaustion”, the Snotty Millionaire Girls Carpool might be a screaming success!
...or maybe just a scream.
