Paris Hilton Watch

I guess despite having all the riches in the world, there are still things that money can’t solve. For our dear heiress’ case, it’s crossing Montreal for the weekend to promote her line shoes called “Paris Hilton Footwear”.

In an article published yesterday in The Canadian Press, “Paris Hilton will have to give at least one autograph before she sets a dainty foot in Canada this weekend — on a request to enter the country submitted to the Canada Border Services Agency.” This is due to her record of committing a traffic violation last year that led to her criminal conviction and 22 days in jail. And unless Paris gets this record “expunged by the judge” this still stands.

According to the spokesman of Canada Border Services Agency, Robert Gervais, Paris “will have to apply for a permit to enter Canada because she has served time.”

This sure is a bad bad news for Paris. Tsk, too bad not even her money can do something for her criminal record. Now this should be a lesson for everyone!

Here it is! The by-now infamous video of Paris being grilledinterviewed by David Letterman! Dave really pulled no punches on this one!

Paris was scheduled to appear on “Late Show With David Letterman” earlier in the summer. Unfortunately, she missed out on that appearance, due to her unfortunate jail sentence for a probation violation. She had not appeared on Dave’s show since her jail term, and Dave was quick to make up for lost time! After first asking how she was, Dave jumped right into the questions about Paris’ time in the Century Regional Detention Center in Lynnwood, CA.

“How’d you like being in jail?” he asked.

“Not too much,” Paris naturally replied.

Dave didn’t let up from there. He asked her humorous questions regarding jail food. “What would breakfast be?”

“Like a hard-boiled egg and an orange,” she said.

He then went on with questions about lunch and dinner. Paris began to kick her leg and squirm on her seat in annoyance. After cooperating for a few minutes, Paris wanted to change the subject. “I’ve moved on with my life, so I don’t really want to talk about any more,” she said.

Dave quickly replied, “This is where you and I are different, because that’s all I want to talk about!”

At one point, an audience member shouted, “I love you, Paris!” Paris replied “I love you, too!” and blew a kiss. Dave was quick to jump on this. “Is that someone you met in jail?” he asked.

Finally, after Paris’ comment that Dave was making her “sad I came,” Dave apologized and changed the subject, questioning Paris about her upcoming film “Rep! The Genetic Opera” and her new perfume.

Paris should have expected this kind of stuff from Dave. The rest of us have certainly come to expect it. After all, lots of people consider Paris’ jail term to be the most interesting thing she’s done!

The post-jail phase (this time) of Paris Hilton’s life begins tomorrow. The heiress has professed her newfound maturity, gratitude, and faith in God. She wants to change her life, to change her image, to make a difference. But is it possible for Paris?

According to Yahoo News and Dorian Traube, a professor of social work at the University of Southern California, it will be difficult at best. “Saying it is one thing and doing it is another,” says Traube.

“If this indeed has changed her, then the transition will be very difficult because she’ll have to find a new purpose in life” beyond being queen of the party scene, Traube said. “Her life will have to change drastically, which is going to be tricky because she’s going to be in the public eye more than ever.”

“She has almost set herself up to fail because there’s been so much talk about how she’s a changed person, how she found religion and she prays all the time,” she said. “People are bitter for the notoriety she has for having done very little other than party, so they’re standing around waiting for her to fail.”

Paris has stated that she plans to build a transitional home to help recently released inmates adjust to freedom.

So, can Paris be a philanthropist? Can Paris spell philanthropist? What do you think?

It’s almost here! Paris’ release date! That’s the big entertainment news over at Yahoo and everywhere else right now!

The release comes 24 days after the heiress originally turned herself in, this coming Tuesday! The exact time of her release has not been set. Ironically, on the same day, LA County sheriff, Lee Baca, is set to appear before county Board of Supervisors, who are investigating whether his release of Paris to house arrest on June 7 amounted to preferential treatment.

I’m sure all Paris’ fans will want to celebrate her release, as will we here at Paris Hilton Watch. We’ll be bringing you all the news of Paris following her release, so stay tuned!

According to the Post Chronicle reports that our Ms. Hilton is spending some of her time in jail answering fan mail! Apparently, a letter written by Paris to one of her well-wishers was obtained. Here’s an excerpt from it:

“I read your letter and just wanted to thank you for your kind words of love and support.The fact that you took time out of your day to write me truly means the world. Especially at such a difficult and scary time in my life.

“But I am being strong and trying to make the best out of the situation. And the letters I’m receiving really do put a smile on my face as I sit here in my cell, sad and alone.”

One of Paris’ reps confirms that the letter was written by Ms. Hilton. Wonder if it’ll become part of a library collection someday?! I’m very proud to hear that Paris can write!

Huliq.com reported on TV’s Judge Judy’s two-cents-worth in the Paris Hilton case. On Monday night’s Larry King Live, Judge Judy made the following quote on Paris:

“When a judge says to somebody, ‘I’m going to give you an opportunity to remain free - you committed a crime.’ In this case, she was driving while intoxicated and endangered a lot of people. ‘But I’m going to give you a chance to stay out of jail, even though I could put you in jail for what you did, but you have to abide by these rules.’ And she breaks the rules. “Paris Hilton is a criminal - a little criminal, but a criminal.”

So, there you have it! If Judge Judy says it, it must be so!

TMZ is sharing photos from Century Regional Detention Center in Lynwood, where Paris is incarcerated. Apparently, the other inmates were very happy to see Paris return:

And here’s Lounge 2600, where Paris is doing her hanging out these days:

Not Ms. Hilton’s usual digs but, apparently, she has fans there!

MTV has posted the following update on Paris’ jail plight:

Paris Hilton was reassigned Wednesday night from the medical ward at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles back to the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, where she began serving her sentence last week, The Associated Press reports. A spokesperson for the L.A. County Sheriff announced Thursday (June 14) that Hilton will serve the remainder of her sentence — which he said will end June 25, 22 days after she first reported to jail — at the CRDC’s pecial-needs unit if her unspecified medical condition remains stable. Hilton, who was ordered back to jail after a brief reassignment to home confinement last week, originally received a 45-day sentence. …

You’ll pardon me if I have my doubts about the “stable” part!

TV Guide, among other sources is reporting that the Endeavor talent agency has dropped Paris Hilton as a client. Michael Donkis, a spokesman for the agency says that Ms. Hilton “is no longer a client of Endeavor,” but declined to say why.

It was reported, however, that Endeavor dropped Paris on Friday, June 8, the day she was ordered back to jail to complete her sentence. The word that the agency had dropped Ms. Hilton came a day after her announcement to Barbara Walters that she wanted to change her image and be taken more seriously.

Maybe Endeavor can’t handle a “serious” Paris Hilton? Maybe the agency thinks there’s no market for a “serious” Paris Hilton? Or maybe, like most of us, they simply doubt her sincerity?

Apparently, Paris Hilton’s time in jail has really affected her. According to WCBS-TV.com, Paris feels that God has given her a new chance.

Hilton said she has a spiritual adviser who told her “my spirit or soul did not like the way I was being seen. And that is why I was sent to jail. God has released me.”

I’ll give the change a very generous six weeks after Paris gets out of jail. Actually, she probably will not manage to go that long before going back to her old habits. Maybe more like two!

Concerned father Rick Hilton is desperately searching for someone to pay for daughter Paris’ “get-out-of-jail-party.” According to Hotel Chatter Rick has hit up Pure, The Hard Rock, and The Palms to pay a $50,00 cash fee, as well as pay for accomodations and flights(!) for a party for Paris’ release from jail!

Both Pure, and the Hard Rock have had the good sense to say no. The Palms has not yet given an answer.

Hey, here’s an idea! How about paying for it yourself, Dad?! After all, she is your daughter, you are rich! How about holding it at a Hilton hotel. Or, are those no longer good enough for you? The nerve of these people!

According to KNX1070 Newsradio, LA County supervisors Mike Antonovich and Yvonne B. Burke are asking the County Sheriff’s Department to provide a report on the reason for Paris Hilton’s early release from jail. Relatives of other jail inmates are also asking for an investigation, to see if Ms. Hilton was receiving star treatment.

A valid question. Although Sheriff Lee Baca gave the reason for her release as a “medical condition,” he did not provide details at the time of Paris’ release. Paris made the following statement to Barbara Walters about the time prior to her release:

”I was severely depressed and felt as if I was in a cage,” she said. ”It was a horrible experience.”

I’m sorry, but I have to say it… Well, duh! Jail is a horrible experience for most people! Most people are depressed and feel they’re in a cage in jail. Being caged and losing your freedoms is the entire point of jail! It’s as though Paris feels that she is undergoing something that all the other inmates are not!

Attorney -Gloria Allred has also announced the filing of a lawsuit against the county on behalf of a black woman who was an inmate at the jail and who, apparently, had more serious medical issues than Ms. Hilton. It’ll be interesting to see how that plays out.

Poor Barbara Walters is actually proud of the fact that she snagged a jail interview with Paris Hilton! The National Ledger reports that Walters getting an interview puts her one up on Rosie O’Donnell, when it had been feared that O’Donnell would take many of “The View’s” viewers with her.

I don’t know, Barbara. I might have let Rosie have this one! Here is one of many of Paris’ amusing quotes from the interview:

“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.

In the first place, I have my doubts about Paris’ being dumb being just an act! And, if it was, it was never cute! And this stuff about wanting to make a difference? Well, we’ll see…

Actress Archives has this to report on Paris’ Sunday visitation:

Paris Hilton was visited on Sunday by Stavros Niarchos and Nicky Hilton on one of the two days per week that prisoners are allowed to have visitors. Nicky Hilton spoke to the press about her sister on the way out of the visit, saying, as quoted by The London Paper, “She’s being strong.” According to reports and eyewitness accounts from the sentencing on Friday, the strength of Paris Hilton may be wavering a bit. The hotel heiress wailed as she was dragged away from the courtroom, shouting, “Mom, mom! It’s not right!” And, according to some sources, she was visibly shaking the entire time. Greta Van Susteren on Fox News, who was mere inches from Paris Hilton during the sentencing, reported that it looked like Paris needed serious medical attention.

After viewing “Her Highness’s” royal crying fit on Friday, it’s difficult to believe sister Nicky’s comment about Paris being strong! Hopefully, she’s found a little more stamina since then!

The article goes on to report that Ms. Hilton is “surprised” by the amount of media attention she has received in the last week. Right. And I’m Mother Theresa.

The Washington Post reports that Ms. Hilton is to have another day in court-today at 9:00AM! Apparently, prosecutors and Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer were more than a little upset at Sheriff Lee Baca’s decision to release Paris early. Seems His Honor had specified during sentencing that the heiress was not allowed to serve house detention! And the city attorney has filed a motion demanding that Hilton be returned to jail, and to show cause why Sheriff Baca should not be held in contempt of court! Paris is even getting the sheriff of L.A. County in trouble!

In another story, the National Ledger reports that Rev. Al Sharpton is equally outraged over Paris’ release, saying that it “…gives all the appearances of economic and racial favoritism that is constantly cited by poor people and people of color.” He cites cases of others who handled incarceration badly, and some who had medical conditions, who were not allowed to leave jail early. He also refers to several incarcerations he served himself, at least one of which had health concerns involved.

And Fox News’ John Gibson agrees with Rev. Al, saying:

In fact, when this little rich white girl gets her way by throwing a hissy fit it illustrates that celebrities and rich people can make things happen that others cannot.

I have to say that I agree with Rev. Al and Mr. Gibson on this one! I won’t make any predictions. You never know what the courts will do on this! But I, for one, hope Paris must serve out the rest of her sentence, just like any of us less fortunates would be forced to do!
