And we eat it up. With the media coverage dedicated to Hilton’s *clear my throat* plight, you would have thought an ex-NFL athlete was being “chased” by the LAPD for allegedly killing his wife and her lover. All kidding aside, there is an underlying psychosis at play here. We watch celebrities live lives with pretty cars and pretty houses and pretty people. And we lie in wait…until one of them falls…and then (cue applause) we rejoice. So is it that we love to hate celebrities or is it that we hate ourselves for loving them?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615048.post-51449105416352522032007-06-11T09:26:00.000-04:002007-06-11T09:26:00.000-04:00That's hotThat's hotAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615048.post-57492075386385585012007-06-10T21:47:00.000-04:002007-06-10T21:47:00.000-04:00I'd have done it for a signed picture. and she wo...I'd have done it for a signed picture. and she would have gotten less time.Rumpolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08380575650255695462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615048.post-71691121874315748912007-06-10T12:33:00.000-04:002007-06-10T12:33:00.000-04:00David,What would your fee be to handle the case?David,<BR/><BR/>What would your fee be to handle the case?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615048.post-79508861902342358922007-06-09T12:55:00.000-04:002007-06-09T12:55:00.000-04:00That girl got what she deserved.

Plus, given all the media hullabaloo, this may actually be one of the rare cases in which the "harsh" punishment actually DOES deter both the potential recidivist (Paris herself), and other members of the community who might otherwise commit similar offenses -- driving drunk, or driving without their license, or showing up late to court, or carrying around 1-pound dogs in purses. But nobody is discussing the REAL story here: How soon until Scooter Libby adopts the "Paris Hilton defense" to try to avoid his (boo-hoo) "unfairly harsh" sentence? <BR/>XOXO, Semi-Anonymous West CoasterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
