Hilton releases statement from Jail
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19144830/

"While I greatly appreciate the Sheriff's concern for my health and welfare, I intend to serve my time at L.A. County Jail," the statement said.

Hilton also said she was surprised and troubled by the massive attention her case has received worldwide.

"I would hope going forward that the public and the media will focus on more important things like the men and women serving our country in Iraq and other places around the world," her statement said.

5. She would actually have some say of which facility to go to...
They first evaluate prisoners to decide where to send them. There are several different facilities and non violent incarcerated prisoners can request which one they'd like go to. She's basically saying stop moving me around, I'll just stick it out here.

9. Yeah. It's a lie!! Has she apologized for her racial slurs yet?
Paris Hilton's Racist New Years Part 2

http://www.ifilm.com/video/2820174

She attacks everybody on the video. And I mean everybody!

Blacks, Jews, the fat, the ugly, the poor...

What a lovely "girl".. :sarcasm:

20. She said the right thing tonight
she is a spoiled brat, but she said the right thing tonight. She is a tool used for distraction

And the sad thing is... she knows it

(Or her publicist, but somebody does)

this is a smack to the media...

Oh and go ahead call me an apolotist, but I will take my smacks on the media when they come

27. She said nothing tonight. She made no statements and
she has a lot of gaul hiding behind and use the troops in Iraq
and in Afghanistan to try to garner sympathy! :grr:
She is sedated in her cell in a psyche ward and was not the one who wrote that.
Get a clue!

To try to save the reputation of Paris Hilton.

It's transparent and absurd.

32. No, it is smacking the media
for hounding her...

And making this a circus

Her reputation is alraedy trashed... there is not much they can do to save that one... well there are a couple things they could do... and in another age her parents would

She (or her publicist) is saying stop using me as a ping pong ball and start paying attention to things that matter... and I don't matter

As a medic I have treated some people like Paris... and believe it or not from time to time they say things that are right... perhaps for the wrong reasons, but they do

This is one of those rare occasions.

use it... use her words against the media in your emails to trash them and ask that they cover REAL news and relegate her to the social pages, where she belongs

33. Are you seriously saying...
That she has gone from a bawling hysteric screaming for her Mommy to making astute observations about the "media" in the course of 24 hours?

This is nothing but a transparent and callous ploy to get the heat off their client by her publicists. Paris Hilton's sympathy meter is lower than Dick Cheney right now so they will use anything they can, including shaming the media, to get them to stop talking about the whole thing.

It is a gift, that you can use against the media.

49. Without the media there would be no "Paris Hilton" beyond her social circle
The woman would be a non-entity outside of the socialite world if the media hadn't helped create her into a celebrity.

38. I agree
It sounds like a prepared statement written by a handler to me.

The Iraq war part is true, though.....and I appreciate the handler adding that.

If it wasn't a handler, it is a rare momnet of lucidity for her.

more didn't comment or reply to enigmatic's video link post.

Got a problem with that?? Did you even bother to watch it?

It is appalling and racist and sickening.

Apparently you admire the little racist? :shrug:

Seems you are the one that needs a mental health check up.

Better yet, find a pastor or someone similar.

Edited on Mon Jun-11-07 07:38 AM by durrrty libby
1) I don't know that she is a racist, nor does that have anything to do
with this situation currently being discussed.

Last time I looked, we don't punish someone for for some offensive remarks
they may have previously made.

2) I am not watching a video that has nothing to do with this case

3) Stating that I admire a racist is ignorant and stupid on your part
I don't admire PH at all. I was just commenting on the irrational over the top
obsession, people like you have with her.

4) I have no admiration for people such as pastors. They are equivalent to snake-oil salesmen

So kiss your own ass :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

25. But this was not the reason why she was sentenced to jail
Admittedly, I did not read all the posts about her in the past few days, but I think that many of us question the special treatment that she got, that in most cases, such offenses do not merit such a harsh sentence, that's all.

We should not be lenient on celebrities, but we should not punish them harsher than what "regular" folks get.

Personally, I would not be aware of her attacks since I really do not follow anything that she says or does.

A few days ago, after Olbermann, I left the TV on and watched the guy who was filling in for Scarborogh and I had to turn it off since his narration about the events were accompanied by videos of her at every pose possible (PG, that is) and after a few minutes I just could not take it.

26. I made it to 2:19 before I had to turn it off. Something about "...a little black whore."
Having a large net worth is no guarantee of class and taste. Case in point...Paris Hilton. I just wish she would go away--far away--and stay there.

46. I couldn't tell what she was saying except for the "n" word once.
If that is what she considers fun, then I really do feel sorry for her. All the people in the video looked like they don't know what it is like to really have fun. If I had that kind of money, I'll guarantee you I would have some fun, and it wouldn't be like that. Dang it.

You actually think, after her meltdown and the drugs they gave her,
that she was actually in full possession of her faculties to be able
to just type that up and send it along to the world? :rofl:

Edited on Sun Jun-10-07 01:24 AM by Marr
suddenly found the skill and desire to craft humble public announcements for the press. Please.

This is even more pathetic than making no statement at all. They've got a press agent out trying to salvage her dignity FOR her, because the spoiled nitwit can't even do THAT for herself. I swear, this is the female version of GW Bush. There's a whole class of these people.

23. Let's hope she will grow up some and learn some from

being in jail. And let's hope we can stop talking about her!

I WAS glad to see the statement posted in the OP because earlier on tv something was said about "Paris Hilton speaking from jail" and I thought :wtf:

I hope we can move on and forget Ms. Hilton now.

the the public and the media will focus on more important things like the men and women serving our country in Iraq and other places around the world

Let me bold it for you


the the public and the media will focus on more important things like the men and women serving our country in Iraq and other places around the world


It is quite the smackdown to the popular media system that made all of this a circus

Perhaps it is her publisher, but it has been attributed to HER.

Edited on Mon Jun-11-07 08:16 AM by Mike Daniels
The woman owes her celebrity to the media's inexplicable interest in her.

Without the media she'd be one of many socialites who are of no real interest to anyone except to people in their direct social circle.
