Paris Hilton, The Yo-Yo

So, where to begin with this? Today after all kinds of confusion deputies arrived at Paris Hilton’s West Hollywood home, handcuffed her and put her in the police car to take her to court. The judge wasn’t amused that the media had widely reported that Paris was going to “appear” in court today by phone. He ordered her to be picked up and brought to court and the sheriff’s office said he had no right to do that. Well in the end the judge got his way and Paris arrived at court a couple hours late.

The hearing took over an hour and the judge made it clear how unhappy he was with the decision of the sheriff’s department to directly go against his previous order which specified no electronic monitoring, ie no house arrest for Hilton. I mean honestly, sentencing her to live in her luxurious pad with no visitor or alcohol restrictions … what kind of punishment is that? Paris reportedly sobbed during the hearing and screamed when the judge ordered her back to jail to finish out her sentence. She tried to move towards her parents but guards grabbed her arms and moved her out of the courtroom. She yelled out “Mom, Mom”. Her mom was also sobbing and got a hug from the dad Hilton.

So, Paris Hilton is back in jail and reportedly in the medical ward for her mental problems. Word is that her mental state is deteriorating rapidly and that’s why they put her on house arrest in the first place. Well, I also heard that when she went to jail the first time on Sunday night she quit taking her prescription medication that could possibly keep her semi-sane during all of this. Obviously boycotting her pills hasn’t worked out too well for her so far.

I think it’s all so ridiculous. It had seemed that Paris Hilton has resigned herself to spending the 23 or so days in jail.  She turned herself in ready to serve her sentence. Maybe I’m going soft on this now, but I do kind of feel sorry for her a little bit at the moment. If they would have just kept her in jail she wouldn’t have gotten her hopes up about the whole house arrest/ankle bracelet thing.  They let her go home. As loopy as that was I think it was pretty cruel to drag her back out and make a media spectacle of her again and then throw her back in prison. The whole thing today never should have happened because she never should have left jail to begin with! Paris isn’t the only one who’s lost the plot. The sheriff’s department is to blame for all of this. There was a motion to show cause, re: contempt against them today but it was dismissed.

Hilton’s lawyers will be appealing today’s ruling on Monday. I don’t look for it to go too well, but you never know. I never thought I’d feel sorry for Paris but in some ways I do now, just a little bit. I know she got herself into this mess and she has to pay the price for it, but did she deserve to become a yo-yo between the sheriff’s department and the court?

Oh well, I’ve dispensed my pity for now. Probably by tomorrow I’ll be over it. It won’t take long for more stupidity to come along in this case to make me harden my heart again towards Paris Hilton. I’m pretty sure about that.

After this whole fiasco is over we will have to deal with the Nicole Richey sentencing thing. Or maybe the two dramas will overlap so as for no room for filler in the tabliods between the two. Someone recently asked Lionel Richey if Nicole was pregnant… and he said he didn’t know.  So that’s another story waiting to unfold. I’ll rant about why stupid people shouldn’t have children when the time comes.
