Just watching E!, Paris dad Rick Hilton will be holding a mega get out of jail party for Paris at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The report on E! stated that the hotel will pay Paris $800,000.00 just for showing up at her own party!. I really dont think her jail term was justified, but at least she will make a pretty penny off of it!

Too bad that she and her family are so foolish to have such a party. She is in jail for breaking the law of the court, for failing to appera on a DWI charge. I would prefer that the money for the party be a donation to the local legal aid funds to help indigent prisoners or to MADD.

So you think a celebrity is above the law? Please explain further. Any 'normal' citizen would have been locked up the first time for the full sentence.
This party will only further make a mockery of the justice system. She will go to this party, get wasted, and drive home. Repeat each night for the rest of her life.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think most people would have actually had to serve much less of that 45 day sentence, due to overcrowding in jails. I remember hearing the Sheriff say something along the lines of a normal person would have been out in a week, but the fear of the backlash of releasing someone like her out after such a short time is what's keeping her in. People always cry "celebrities aren't above the law", when normal people get out early too.
Exactly, and theres no point fining her as her family has god knows how much money, as her dad is showing by throwing this party so the only way to really punish her is throwing her in the slammer for a few weeks.

All other implications aside, if my parents had the opportunity to toss a party for me where I stood to earn $800,000 simply for appearing, I'm sure they'd be flipping through the Yellow Pages to find a caterer without too much hesitation. After all, it would take place once I had paid my debt to society, not before.

Quoting RobertNL070 (Reply 13): However, this stunt does reek of shameless attention seeking.
Oh yes, of course, but it's almost equivalent to a debutante ball in my mind. There's obviously an interest in her--even those who say they can't stand her, hang onto her every move, so why pass up on cashing in on it?

You seem to be forgetting that it wasn't her first brush with the law.
Quote: n September 2006, Hilton was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol with a blood alcohol content of 0.08%, the minimum at which it is illegal to drive in California. Hilton's drivers license was subsequently suspended in November 2006,[36] and in January 2007 she pled no contest to the alcohol-related reckless driving charge.[37] Her punishment was 36 months' probation and fines of about $1,500.[38]
On January 15, 2007, Hilton was pulled over for driving with a suspended license and signed a document acknowledging that she was not permitted to drive. [39] On February 27, 2007 Hilton was caught driving 70 MPH in a 35 MPH zone, again with a suspended license. She also did not have her headlights on even though it was after dark. Prosecutors in the office of the Los Angeles City Attorney charged that those actions, along with the failure to enroll in a court-ordered alcohol education program constituted a violation of the terms of her probation.

I'm not offended at all by the party. She will have served her sentence, and isn't obliged to live like a monk. If her parents want to spend the money, they have every right to do so.
And if I were an LA prosecutor, I'd be overjoyed, for if Ms. Hilton ever shows up in court in the near future, this will be dynamite evidence of the lack of Ms. Hilton's recognition that her behavior isn't publicly acceptable - outside of the Hollywood crowd, of course.

It may not be that easy, she may have to do intensive probation. If she really shows up for this party, it will show that she has not learned anything in jail. Just so, so sad! Not my problem.

Having lived for 10 years just blocks away from where this incident took place, this is the part of the whole story which doesn't make much sense to me. Except in the very wee hours of the morning, when the record store Paris was coming home from isn't open, I don't know of any time I could have driven on Sunset Blvd. between Crescent Heights and Kings Rd. at 70MPH.

Good point. What was she driving at the time, I wonder?
