Paris Hilton responds to her image being used in one of McCain’s ads… by making a campaign ad of her own! And you know what? She’s got a much more thoughtful energy policy than Barack Obama does. And they’ve probably got about equal experience when it comes to governing.
Check it out:
Scary question: if Paris and Barack were your two choices, which would you vote for? I honest-to-God don’t know who would be worse.
Best of all was the McCain camp’s response to Paris’ “ad”:
In the unkindest cut of all, McCain’s spokesperson Tucker Bounds tells TMZ that on the subject of energy, Paris is deeper than Barack. He says, “Sounds like Paris is taking the ‘All of the Above’ energy approach that John McCain has advocated — both alternatives and drilling. Perhaps the reality is that Paris has a more substantive energy plan than Barack Obama.”
Priceless. And pretty true. Folks, when Paris Hilton sounds more intelligent than the guy you’re supporting, it may be time to rethink your vote. Just a suggestion.
Hat Tip: Hot Air
It always somewhat apalls me to see some celebrities with children. When you take the most shallow, superficial, unintelligent, egotistical, spoiled, selfish, narcissistic people in the world and make them responsible for children, it never ends well. Why do you think we see so many celebrity offspring with lives ruined by drugs and/or sex? Occasionally, you see a celebrity with their head on straight who can be a good parent, but more often than not, celebrities look at their children as a means for self-fulfillment, a real-life dolly that they can pass off to a nanny whenever they start to get annoying.
What got me onto this tirade? Paris Hilton has decided that she wants to have a baby, so that her baby can play with Nicole Richie’s baby.
It seems Paris has babies on the brain again after hosting a baby shower for Nicole Richie last weekend, according to People:“Nicole and I have been playing together since we were two years old,” she told PEOPLE at the Nissan Live Sets One Year Anniversary Party. “I was just telling her, ‘I want a baby so that our babies can play together.’”
This is a prime example. You see celebrities adopting kids left and right, getting pregnant after dating someone for a few months… they just decide they want to have kids and so WHAM! They get one. I think it’s very rare for a celebrity to truly understand just how much devotion a child takes, and celebrities are by their very nature selfish, egotistical, and narcissistic.
Take Angelina Jolie. She adopts kids like some women buy shoes. But is she really a good mother? I can’t help but wonder about that, by looking at her jet-setting around the world. She picks up and flies anywhere she feels like at the drop of a hat, and her children seem to have very little stability with her. She keeps saying that after her next movie, she’s going to settle down, but she never actually does. It just makes me wonder if she’s more concerned about being able to do whatever she wants, or what’s best for her children.
And now Paris Hilton is saying she wants to get pregnant just because she feels like it. And you see it all the time — celebrities adopting kids or having babies with someone they barely have a relationship with, and they do it for one reason: their own self-fulfillment, something to fill the void in their lives.
This is why, as far as I’m concerned, some people just shouldn’t breed. It’s sad, because people like these selfish celebrities will never be mature enough to know that they can’t give a child the environment, family, and stable upbringing that a child needs.
The letter is priceless! From TMZ:
Dear Paris,
You are hereby notified that your membership in the Bad Boy Bad Girl club has been revoked. You slipped over the edge into stupid and are no longer good at being bad, so we want you out and will not refund your dues. And by “dues” I mean the dues you paid by doing a sex video, starring in “The Simple Life,” getting drunk in public, converting others to the club [Brittney and Lindsey, which, by the way, will also be receiving this notice], showing the world — via the paparazzi — your coochi, and all around acting without remorse or apology … all wonderful things.
However, real Bad Girls don’t drink and drive, real bad girls don’t get caught, real bad girls don’t go to jail [that's only cool if you're a guy], and real bad girls don’t call Sarah Silverman a bitch. Moreover, we all know the rich don’t do jail time, and if they do, they do it with class [see Martha Stewart for details]. Therefore, you’re out.
Fortunately for the other members of the club, you can’t buy your way back in. Feel free to re-apply, but for now you are on permanent suspension.
Sincerely,
Steve Santagati
PresidentP.S. Notifying you via TMZ is considered official.
Paris Hilton will be released from prison next Tuesday, prison officials have announced.
So, let’s get a nice quote from the lovely heirhead herself:
“I’m so much more grateful for everything that I have, even just to have a pillow at night or food. You know my gratitude has gone up so much and I just realize that the media used me to make fun of and be mean about it. Frankly [I’m] sick of it and I want to use my fame in a good way. I am behind glass and I want to give my dad a big hug and they won’t even let me do that. That’s how the rules are, you have to be behind glass. I’m not a criminal, I’m not dangerous, so it makes me feel like that. It’s hard but I’m stronger everyday. I just can’t wait to see my family and have a nice meal and be in my own bed and appreciate all the things I took for granted and never really thought much about.”
The media is “mean”. She wants to use her fame in a “good way”. Yawn.
Female inmates in Florida say they have some make-up tips for Paris Hilton. Inmates in Charlotte County are banned from wearing cosmetics in lock-up.The inmates say they get creative in order to look girly, so they have come up with “fake-up.” They use food products in place of make-up. Some examples of “fake-up,” include a pen as eyeliner, coffee as eye shadow, and glitter from cards as eye glitter. They also use vaseline for their lips. When vaseline is mixed with Crystal Light powder it can create lip gloss and blush.
The inmates don’t wear the “fake-up” everyday. If the inmates are caught wearing it they can get in trouble.
Well, there you go, Paris. You might need it, because I’m sure without makeup on, no one would recognize you.
“Today I told my attorneys not to appeal the judge’s decision. While I greatly appreciate the Sheriff’s concern for my health and welfare, after meeting with doctors I intend to serve my time as ordered by the judge.
This is by far the hardest thing I have ever done. During the past several days, I have had a lot of time to reflect and have already learned a bitter, but important lesson from this experience.
As I have said before, I hope others will learn from my mistake. I have also had time to read the mail from my fans. I very much appreciate all of their good wishes and hope they will keep their letters coming.
I must also say that I was shocked to see all of the attention devoted to the amount of time I would spend in jail for what I had done by the media, public and city officials. 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, Afghanistan and other places around the world.”
And she also made this statement over the phone to Barbara Walters:
“I used to act dumb. That act is no longer cute. Now, I would like to make a difference. God has given me this new chance. I was not eating or sleeping [of her first few days in prison]. I was severely depressed and felt as if I was in a cage. It was a horrible experience.”
Oh, so she only acted dumb. She’s really, really, like smart, y’all. Remember that.
In the biggest waste of taxpayer dollars of the decade, Paris Hilton has announced she will appeal the judge’s mandate for her to serve out the remainder of her sentence in prison.
Yeah… that’s contrition, right there.
She’s being checked into Twin Towers Correctional Facility now. If she had half a brain, she’d realize the smart thing to do would be to just keep her mouth shut and serve her measly 23 day sentence. But NO. She’s Paris Hilton, after all. She’s like, so, like, totally rich and all. And she’s like, so totally, like, hot and everything. You know, she like, doesn’t deserve to like, have to like, go to prison.
You know, I’d settle for a different punishment besides jail. I’d be perfectly content with Paris wearing duct tape over her mouth for the rest of her life, so we never have to hear her open her big, spoiled mouth and utter “That’s hot” again.
The same judge who sentenced her to prison is NOT happy with her assignment to house arrest — he specifically mandated that she could not serve any of her term at home. She’s expected to arrive at the courthouse any minute. Let’s hope he throws her right back in prison where she belongs.
Meanwhile, Sheriff Lee Baca is fighting back, telling the LA Times:
“The problem here is that there is a medical issue and it isn’t wise to keep a person in jail with her problem over an extended period of time and let the problem get worse. In my opinion, justice is being served by the decision to have her serve her time at home. She would still be in the county jail if it were not for the medical advice. My message to those who don’t like celebrities is that punishing celebrities more than the average American is not justice.”
Please. You may not like her sentence (I sure do!), but it isn’t your choice to make. The judge sentenced her to 23 days in prison, she serves 23 days in prison. You don’t like the way justice is being dispensed, go to law school and become a judge yourself. NOT. YOUR. CALL. TO. MAKE. Simple as that.

UPDATE: Paris screamed and cried in court as the judge told her to get her butt right back in jail:
Paris Hilton was taken from a courtroom screaming and crying Friday seconds after a judge ordered her returned to jail to serve out her entire 45-day sentence for a parole violation in a reckless driving case.
“It’s not right!” shouted the weeping Hilton. “Mom!” she called out to her mother in the audience.
Hilton, who was brought to court in handcuffs in a sheriff’s car, came into the courtroom disheveled and weeping. Her hair was askew and she wore a gray fuzzy sweatshirt over slacks. She wore no makeup and she cried throughout the hearing.
Her body also shook constantly as she dabbed at her eyes. Several times she turned to her parents, seated behind her in the courtroom, and mouthed, “I love you.”
Puh-lease. She deserves to serve every single day of her sentence. What could have happened here? She drove drunk and could have killed someone and showed NO remorse whatsoever. She didn’t even do the fake rehab thing to make her look better. And on top of showing no remorse, she thumbed her nose at the system by not even trying to hide the fact that she violated her probation. And look at her response — to call for her mommy. Obviously all those fake “I’m prepared to serve my time because I’m SOOO sorry” statements she made were just that — a load of crap. She thinks she’s better than everyone else and therefore shouldn’t have to serve any time at all. And what kind of punishment is house arrest, anyways? SHE can’t go anywhere. But her friends can come over. She can drink, do drugs, watch TV… I mean, come on. That’s not a punishment!
Paris — suck it up. If you don’t want to go to jail, then next time, here’s a tip: DON’T BREAK THE LAW!
That’s right, folks — after spending a whopping three days in prison, she was released early this morning, due to a “medical condition”. She’ll be put under house arrest for 40 days, and is required to wear a monitoring device.
Perhaps Paris contracted a staph infection while in prison. The Lynwood Correction Facility has had over 402 inmates diagnosed last year alone, and for every 1,000 that enter the prison, 13 will contract the disease.
Or maybe, she’s just a spoiled little celebutard who was released early because of her celebrity.
LA police officials are expected to give a press conference later today.
Paris Hilton learns to read.
UPDATE:
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Dept. spokesperson Steve Whitmore says Paris did not contract a staph infection, and the decision to release her was made after “extensive consultation” with medical personnel. Wow, that makes it much better.
Al Sharpton, a beacon of justice and epitome of fairness, blasted the justice system, The Drudge Report is reporting.
“Though I have nothing but empathy for Ms. Hilton whom I have met and appeared with on Saturday Night Live the night I hosted in 2003, this early release gives all of the appearances of economic and racial favoritism that is constantly cited by poor people and people of color. There are any number of cases of people who handle being incarcerated badly and even have health conditions that are not released.
I have served several sentences for civil rights and civil disobedience actions and I even fasted which caused health concerns to prison authorities who paid for a doctor to come see me daily rather than release me. This act smacks of the double standards that many of us raise.”
Yes… because Al Sharpton is a paradigm of virtue and of all people, is who we should listen to about the justice — or lack thereof — of our prison systems. Typical Sharpton… has to make everything about race, even when there’s nothing to make.
I don’t agree with Paris being released anymore than Sharpton does. But it isn’t because she’s a white girl. It’s because she’s rich, an heiress and a fake celebrity. Did anyone really think she’d serve her full term?
