Man, don't you know Rosie O'Donnell would love to work the night shift in that jail.

I'm sure SkinBasket would like to be a fly on the wall in that prison.

No, not the Rosie stuff again

[GBRulz]

Someone needs to check the Sheriff's bank account. Something weird was going on there. Anyhow, this whole thing is such a joke. Paris is like the most useless celeb, ever.

Of course she doesn't mind jail so much now that she's all drugged up.

Paris Hilton Reportedly Not Eating or Sleeping

(Awwe....poor baby!)

By NICHOLA GROOM, Reuters

LOS ANGELES (June 9) - Paris Hilton has not eaten or slept since arriving at the medical ward of a Los Angeles jail and is being given psychotropic drugs, celebrity Web site TMZ.com reported on Saturday, citing law enforcement sources.

Nevertheless, the socialite and hotel heiress said late on Saturday afternoon that she had told her attorneys not to appeal the order that sent her back to jail on Friday after a day of house arrest.

"Being in jail is by far the hardest thing I have ever done," Hilton, 26, said in a written statement issued by her attorney, Richard Hutton. "During the past several days, I have had a lot of time to think and I believe that I am learning and growing from this experience."

Hilton was ordered back to jail on Friday after a judge overruled a sheriff's decision to place her under house arrest because of psychological problems. She had spent three days of an expected three-week term behind bars.

The multimillionaire known for her party-going lifestyle was crying a lot and was very withdrawn, TMZ reported.

Hilton was visited by her psychiatrist, Dr. Charles Sophy, for more than two hours on Saturday morning. She was being held in a room by herself with a glass door that is guarded at all times, the report said.

TMZ also said Hilton was taking psychotropic medication, but did not specify which drug. Psychotropic medications affect a person's emotions and behavior and include drugs like lithium, which is taken for depression, and Valium, which eases anxiety.

Steve Whitmore, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County sheriff, declined to comment on the report. "Anything to do with her medical stuff I can't confirm or deny," he said.

A spokesman for Hilton could not immediately be reached for comment.

In her statement, Hilton thanked her fans for their good wishes and said she missed her family.

Hilton's early release by Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca sparked national outrage and accusations of preferential treatment because of her celebrity status.

On Saturday, however, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Sauer's order to return her to custody was sparking controversy, with television pundits and others debating whether he had overstepped his bounds in overruling Baca.

Hilton was sentenced to 45 days in jail last month for violating probation in a reckless case by driving on a suspended license.

On Friday she trembled and cried quietly throughout the hearing, then broke into loud sobs when the judge ordered her back into custody.

"Mom, Mom. It's not right," she wailed as she was led out of the courtroom. Her mother, Kathy Hilton, also sobbed.

In Saturday's statement, Hilton, whose face has graced the pages of gossip magazines for much of the last four years, said she was "shocked" by the attention her case has received.

"I would hope going forward that the public and the media will focus on more important things like the men and women serving our country in Iraq and other places around the world," she said.
(This had to have been a statement written by her agent!!)

Even though it might not seem it, it is a turtle. It looks at first to be an alien, but it's some turtle that was used for some promotion or something. I was looking to find the picture of the turtle that Bretsky had, but came across this and thought it was better.

Paris Hilton Calls Barbara Walters From Jail
Exclusive From Barbara Walters
ABCNews.com
(June 11) -- On Sunday at 3 p.m., Paris Hilton phoned me collect from jail. Prisoners must call collect.

The unusual conversation came about because Kathy Hilton, Paris' mother, had phoned me, and while we were talking, Paris called on the other line. When she heard I was talking to her mother, she said she'd like to talk to me herself.

She sounded tired but totally aware of what she was saying.

"How are you?" I asked.

Paris answered, "I'm hanging in there." But she declared, "I feel as if I'm a different person. I've dropped my appeal. I don't want to cause any more problems."

I asked what happened in the jail that led to her being released or reassigned to her home. She said she had not been wailing, sobbing or screaming as had been described.

"But," she said, "I was not eating or sleeping. I was severely depressed and felt as if I was in a cage. I was not myself. It was a horrible experience."

"How are you different?" I asked.

"I'm not the same person I was," she said. "I used to act dumb. It was an act. I am 26 years old, and that act is no longer cute. It is not who I am, nor do I want to be that person for the young girls who looked up to me. I know now that I can make a difference, that I have the power to do that. I have been thinking that I want to do different things when I am out of here. I have become much more spiritual. God has given me this new chance."

I asked what kinds of things she might want to do.

She said she would like to help in the fields of breast cancer -- her grandmother had breast cancer -- or multiple sclerosis. Her father's mother suffers from that disease.

She thought she might get toy companies to build a kind of Paris Hilton playhouse, where sick children might come, and the toy companies could donate toys.

She has had a person whom she described as a spiritual adviser who said, "My spirit or soul did not like the way I was being seen and that is why I was sent to jail."

"God," she said, "has released me."

Looks like the judge is her new spiritual adviser...?

Love the headline.

People forget that incarceration (particularly solitary) does tend to promote self-reflection. Now, if only we had a nickel for every jailhouse conversion...

[packinpatland]

Rehabilitation at it's best.
If it just worked this way for all criminals................one week..........new person.
Something tells me it'll take less time to reverse things when she gets out.

[oregonpackfan]

Like the old saying goes, "It's one thing to talk the talk but quite another to walk the walk."

Will Paris Hilton follow through on her promises?
