I hope so, as she is NOT above the law, this needs to be shown, and she needs to accept that she has done wrong - deal.
It is how you deal with things in life that DEFINE you!!!

I do not understand what American celebrities think? Do they think that they are above everything?? I feel like laughing when American fans back her. Her act is funny, irresponsible in the society and SHE MUST SERVE THE SENTENCE!!

I'm not a fan of paris and yes I think she is in idiot, but this is a mockery of the law. You can't use a violation for a traffic offense to punish someone for being a spoiled brat. In other words, a judge's personal opinion on a person that he reads about in the media shouldn't cause him to doll out a harsher punishment. That means he's influenced by the media and bias. Not exactly impartial. The law shouldn't be a viceral reaction. No one who has one DUI and caught driving under a suspecnded license with no priors would have received a simlar punishment. That is unsettling...

Is that true that Paris Hilton went out with Dr. Chris Mentillo? I would not be surprised only because I know that Dr. Chris Mentillo owns something like 4 mansions, 12 Porsche's, takes something like 12 exotic vacations a year, owns 5 Rolex watches, and on and on. I forgot about the Island he owns and even offered to give it away to Paris Hilton.

I have to say that this sentence "appears" to be a little lengthy, however she does deserve this, as she has in the past blatantly flaunted her wealth with an attitude that she is untouchable.
If it were you or I, we would have either paid our fines, done the time etc.,
She claims that she wants to be seen as a role model....then this will certainly show others, that for whatever BLIND reason think she is the bees knees, that no one is able to break the law and get away with it.
Her mother, who appeared to be distressed at the sentence needs to see that Paris is accountable here, and that her carrying on is just being irresponsible as a parent.
Both these women need to take a long hard look at selves.
Money SHOULD not be able to buy you out of situations.
Glad that this has happened, and I hope that she learns by this.
If she does for some stupid reason, not serve this time, then I would be taking a very long hard look at the legal system in CA.
I am in Australia, and this would not be something that we would not accept.

She deserves what she gets. It horrifies me that she is considered to be a role model to a lot of people because there is nothing about that girl that is worth looking up to.

Paris Hilton (and her mother too) actually has the audacity to whine and say she doesn’t deserve such a severe punishment. She’s getting exactly what anyone else would get for not obeying a court order. Ignorance is never an excuse when you are caught breaking the law. Ordered not to drive for however many days it was; stemming from a drunk and reckless driving conviction. Also ordered at that time to attend an “Alcohol Safety Class” by a certain time and given 3 years probation. She got off easy the first time.

So basically she is saying “Screw You” and keeps driving without a license. (Remember, ignorance is never an excuse when you are caught breaking the law.) Paris gets caught 2 times driving on a suspended license (still does not go to jail) and is contemptuous by never completing or signing up for an Alcohol Class. She cannot claim she wasn’t aware of that particular duty she had to fulfill.

Here in Alaska, first DUI is 90 days suspension of your license, 3 consecutive days in jail no matter what or who you are (eventually, you know trials and such). Getting caught driving on a suspended license is 10 days in jail regardless of whether you are aware of the suspension or not (20 days with 10 suspended). Getting caught again especially so soon, is 20 days with even more driving time suspensions. Contempt of court (from the ignoring the Alcohol Class) is anywhere from 5 to 20 days. That adds up to 45 days.

Claiming, “I don’t deserve this” makes me want to puke. That’s exactly what the rest of would get, including you. The only nice thing she will be getting is not having to co-habitate with the general population. She broke the law! She endangered other citizens by driving drunk. Flipped her nose at the law (because she’s better than everyone else on the planet) by not following the court orders, probably thinking Daddy would take care of it.

LA County jail, Yeah baby!

For all of you who think the judge should have been more lenient toward the "Goddess of Gonorrhea", he was....when she was placed on probation last fall. You can like her, you can hate her. But don't say she did nothing wrong. Drunk drivers kill. If Hilton had killed someone while driving drunk...with or without license...would you think her sentence just? She has an "appointment" to serve time. She was sentenced to 45 days for violation of her probation for DRUNK DRIVING, not for driving with a suspended license. The appeal of this person is unbelievable. She does nothing. She produces nothing. Yet if she were to run over your child...what would you do? Ask for her autograph?

What stupidity from J. Merritt. Driving drunk, as JJ notes, is violent. What if she'd been shooting an automatic rifle into the air for kicks? Maybe no one's hurt, maybe a bullet falls on a kid & kills him. Same difference.

Leaving aside the substantial basis for doubting that Hilton has any desire to change her behavior.

I suspect that the Judge heard nothing from anyone representing this spoiled human being to cause him to err on the side of lenity.

Having seen no persuasive arguments that he abused his considerable discretion, I would not be inclined to reverse him were I hearing her appeal.

Under the circumstances, she deserves jail, but I think a week would have been enough to serve justice and teach her a lesson. In my opinion, the judge went overboard.

just me has the right answer I think. Hilton is quite rich. Hiring a driver would be only a slight dent in the budget and a minor inconvenience. Still 45 days seems long, but perhaps the judge was miffed that she was late to court (over 18 minutes late). When your freedom is in question (due to a crime) be on time to the damn hearing.
