I have to apologize on the front end for posting this blog. I just have a couple of things to say. First of all, I am NOT a Paris fan or her defender; however, I am getting a little tired of her being blasting all the time. Yes, what she did was wrong - very wrong. No one should ever drive drunk. In doing so numerous times, she put other innocent people at risk. She had no right to do so, and she should definitely face the consequences. She drove on a suspended license. Once again, she was wrong and should face the consequences. I am all about consequences for actions. Here’s my beef, though. According to what I have read and seen on CNN, she served half of her sentence versus the 10% that most people serve. Whether she was held in a separate area or whatever other “special” treatment she may have received, she did serve way more time than anyone else would have. How about her prosecutor’s wife who drove on a suspended license and wrecked a state vehicle? She didn’t receive any jail time and did not even pay for the damages to the vehicle. The bottom line is this: Leave the girl alone! She’s done her time. We have no idea how she’s been parented. She’s not a kid anymore. She’s a 26 year old woman making her own bad (and good, I suppose) decisions. Tonight, I actually heard someone on CNN trashing out her parents for allowing her to drop out of high school. I know other parents who don’t have nearly the money the Hiltons have who also had to “allow” their children to drop out of high school. (BTW, she did go on to get her diploma.) By the time children are in high school, sometimes parents have to “allow” them to make bad choices, too. The same CNN commentator also trashed out her parents for eating out at a “famous” restaurant a couple of nights ago. Evidently, they should have kept a lower profile. Now, we’re going to judge people based on their restaurant choices? Please! Give me a freakin’ break! Could we move on to something else? Let’s get mad about people who unfairly receive early pardons or who don’t serve jail time when they do horrible things to people. Paris Hilton has, in my opinion, served more than her fair share. Kudos to her! And shame on her prosecutor!!

Sorry! I just got tired of seeing this stupid story. Tonight, it was even on the financial channel. They were updating her stocks! PLEASE!!!!!

What I am tired of is how they (major news channels) are trashing her desire to turn her life around. Poor girl. She must think she has the whole world watching and waiting for her to fail. Thank you, Jesus, that a life can be transformed through You - truly Paris’s only hope in making the changes she wants to make.

have you thought about writing a “letter to the editor” to CNN or all the media… you do have a point and as much as most of us hate hearing about Paris and the like at least what you have to say is more newsworthy than her stocks and eating out preferences.

Debbie - I agree. Wouldn’t it be awesome if she truly does find Jesus through all of this? It is really sad that, just like Britney or whoever else, the media is just dying to watch someone fall. It seems even more that way if they talk about praying or mention God in any way. Wouldn’t we all be in the same place given the same set of circumstances without Jesus?
