Springtime With Paris

What the hell is wrong with the news media? Everytime I ponder that question, my eyes start to bleed. First of all, I'm neither a fan or hater of Miss Paris Hilton. I'm bewildered by her popularity, but as far as the price of gas is concerned, I can't care less. Anyway, the news media has deemed her legal problems to be headline news. First she's in jail. Then she's out of jail. Now she's in again. How does this effect me? Is there a secret hit-list against blonde women dead or alive being circulated? When I say hit-list, I mean a list that puts these insignificant women in a top ten spot on the hit parade of so-called news.

Paris created her own hell. If she wasn't such an attention junkie and exploited herself with her ridiculous antics, no one would care where she spent her time. But Miss Hilton put herself on the frontlines and now she's paying a humiliating price for it. I hope Lindsey Lohan, Nicole Ritchie, and Britney Spears are watching this media circus with dread for their own future. I hope all the little girls and women with little girls' mentality are watching this modern day Cautionary Tale and taking notes. It's not cute to drink and drive. It's not "hot" to ignore the law. It's definitely not "in" to play ignorance and expect the legal system to slap your wrist with a wink and smile.

Sadly, if Paris Hilton wasn't Paris Hilton, she would be sitting in her comfy house right now with her ankle bracelet doing the rest of her time. I'm sure Paris Hilton wished she wasn't Paris Hilton as she gets checked into the jail for the second time.
