“Today’s ruling sends a clear message that in the city of Los Angeles no one is above the law,†said Nick Velasquez of the Los Angeles City Attorney’s office.
Hilton’s attorney, Howard Weitzman, told reporters he was “shocked and disappointed” by the sentence. “To sentence Paris Hilton to jail is uncalled for, inappropriate and ludicrous,” Weitzman said. “She was singled out for who she is. She’s been selectively targeted. Paris was honest in her testimony. We plan to appeal. Shame on the system.”
Though Hilton’s lawyers can appeal the ruling, the City Attorney’s Office Press Deputy Frank Mateljan told Us: “She would need to show the court abused its discretion. We proved our case above and beyond what is required. We are extremely confident it will hold up in any court as it did today.”
Hilton, 26, arrived to court ten minutes late for the hearing in the back of a black Cadillac Escalade with her parents, Rick and Kathy Hilton.
Dressed in black pants, a white shirt and a gray jacket, her hair held back in a headband, Hilton appeared serious and said nothing to the paparazzi lining the path to the court entrance.

this is rubbish she should not go to jail. everyone targeted her…. Im there for you paris xXXXxxXXXX
I really hope she doesn’t go to jail. She was just selectively targeted like her lawyer says. I think it’s absolutely absurd she got 45 days in jail.
Rot in jail you pig
good luck paris
god bless u~
The system has totally failed, singling out Paris h
Hilton to make an example against drunk driving, this is totally ridicolus and I hope that Paris wins the appeal!
Good Luck Paris,
Bekah x
Thank god this spoiled little ***** gets whats coming to her!! She thinks she’s above the law! If it was any regular person they would already be in jail. So this is great, justice is served! Now lets go back and retry that pig OJ!
You need to be punished when you brake the law. But a mother should not behave so porely when a judge sends her daughter to jail. That’s just not nescesary. She will go through with the jailtime and she wil get wiser and stronger for it.How tough she may look. She is just a girl. Having a bit to much fun.
I AM A HUGE PARIS FAN. but if you break a rule, you deserve punishment. and she got a second chance, and she ruined it.
Paris hilton deseves to go to jail. she wasnt taregted. SHE BROKE THE LAW. any normal person who does it goes to Jail, just because paris hilton is rich, she shouldnt get specail treatment. why should celebs be treated any different than you and me. if one of us did what paris did, we would go to jail to.
i’m so so upset paris has been given a jail sentence! so many people get away with not going to prison when they’re done a lot worse things than paris! i adore her and she desverves better than this. The legal system stinks! much love to paris and her family right now x x x x
I am very disgusted by Paris’s Mom’s reaction. Obviously Kathy Hilton thinks that her family is better than other U.S. citizens. Shameful!!
Bottom line is Paris broke the law, not once, but twice. Kathy should be thanking her lucky stars that Paris didn’t kill someone’s daughter, sister or mother….while driving impaired!!
I think the judge did the right thing and Kathy Hilton should be very ashamed of her behaviour. Obviously she doesn’t love her daughter enough to teach Paris right from wrong.
In this pic she looks relle tall. I’ve met Paris in real life when I was at Jamba Juice and she didn’t look that tall at all. I’m only 5’1 and she’s like 5’8 and she didn’t look that tall, because she was wearing flip flops, I think heels elongate her body and makes her look taller because all of her heels are like almost 4 inches and she wears heels almost all the time. That stinks that she’s going to jail. I SAY WE BURN THE COURTROOM DOWN. BUT she shouldn’t have been driving on a suspended licsense, I mean it’s kinda fair but still. She shouldn’t get the special treatment for being a celeb. BUT BEST OF LUCK PARIS!
I don’t like what she wearing in there. It’s very blah, but I guess its because she’s going to court but I can’t stand those pants, she usually wears very cute stuff (used to most of the time) but this is boring… yawn.. she looks pissed (well, i would be too if I was goin to court lol)

Just because she didn’t crash into someone doesn’t mean she couldn’t have. Goodness grief, Paris fans are so ..stupid.
The point of these laws is not just to punish those people who did kill people but to prevent it happening in the first place. Drunk driving is a serious issue. And even people who may not show signs of being outrageously drunk have caused the same kind of people as those who are.
I suggest you all watch a documentry on drunk driving like my school is forced to every year. Think of the innocent people who could have DIED. Forget that its Paris Hilton for one second. Why is it that JUST because she is a celebrity she should get special treatment??
I have no idea what the usual jail sentance for this kind of thing is but she definately NEEDS to go.
BUT THE THING IS JUICY….NO ONE DID DIE.
THEY COULD HAVE DIED.
If a murderer were to break into your house and attempt to kill you, but the police intervened before he could, should he not have to go to jail?? Would you be okay if the authorities decided to let him go scotch free becuase “no one died”? Would you rather wait until he did succeed in killing you before they put him in jail?
Its the police/court’s job to protect people. They’re just doing their job. No one told Paris to drive drunk or drive again after her liscence got suspended. She knew what the consequences would be, she’s an adult.
i agree completely with u juicy but the think is there not prosecuting her for driving drunk, there prosecuting her for driving with the suspended license, 45 days in jail for a suspended liscence that’s what’s unfair, if she were drunk again at the time, they yes i would agree that she should be locked up, but that’s not what this is for, it’s for the suspended liscence not the dui
ohhh right. Well in that case I have no idea what the average amount of jail time a person gets for something like that. maybe the court just wants to look like hard axes. Like they want to prove that they don’t bend the rules for anyone. 45 days is a long time. It’s going to be so boring in Hollywood without Paris.
Hope her appeal will be successful.
After all, the prison is a hell for all the women.
I don’t want the world lose such beautiful girl.
Does anyone konw when she will appeal?
Get your facts right! She wasn’t prosecuted for ‘just’ for driving whilst under suspension …she was caught TWICE driving under that same suspension PLUS she did not attend the ‘alcohol school’ she was supposed to attend – THAT is why she got the 45 days because she broke the rules of suspension not once, not twice but THREE times!!!
She deserves everything she gets like any other normal person.
She wasn’t ‘targeted’, in fact I suspect it was the complete opposite — I can guarantee the stupid, arrogant, self important cow thought it would be great publicity but it BACKFIRED on her….hehhehehe…..sucked in Paris!!!
Juicy, ignore Kendra, you’re not wrong at all; it all goes back to the DUI. If not for the DUI, there would be no issue with the suspended license and the failure to enroll in her alcohol education. She was on probation – in driving and failing to comply with the judge’s orders, she violated her probation. When you violate your probation, especially when its violated repeatedly, it’s usually revoked. When probation is revoked, you can get any sentence that might have been given for the original crime (in Paris’ case, the DUI), which is why she’ll be serving time in jail.
u know what, i can’t help but laugh at all these posts now, including mine, i mean seriously, were all getting up upset on something that doesn’t even concern us, lol, u have to admit were all acting pretty childish, i mean, who the **** really cares, i got my own problems to deal with!!!
Paris i love you and i stand by you!! real fans will love you ever, nerver mind about what you have done!!! I LOVE YOU Honey!!!!
1000 kisses for you!!
your lulu
