Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan join Paris Hilton jailbirds’ club

Aug 24 2007

Posted by Jay as Entertainment Features, Featured Articles

Nicole Richie even had the gall to smile in her jail mugshot, as if saying "this is nothing." Soon, they could put up a movie studio inside prison facilities in Los Angeles, California. The jails there are becoming pretty crowded with celebs, that’s why. On Thursday, a pregnant Nicole Richie was released from the Century Regional Detention Facility in Los Angeles after serving 82 minutes of a four-day sentence for driving under the influence of drugs. Richie served her 82 minutes at the county jail in suburban Lynwood, the same place her "The Simple Life" co-star Paris Hilton was housed for ...

Posted by Jay as Entertainment, In the News, News Features

If only all former prisoners, regardless of their social backgrounds, would be as repentant as Paris Hilton, and if only such show of repentance is genuine, then there’s still hope for goodness to prevail in this world.

Hilton out, Sizemore in

Posted by Jay as Entertainment, In the News

As Paris Hilton was leaving jail, another celebrity was about to come in, also in Los Angeles, California. Tom Sizemore, best known for battle-hardened film roles in “Saving Private Ryan” and “Black Hawk Down,” was sentenced on Monday to 16 months in prison for violating his probation in a drug possession case.

Jamie Lee Curtis on Parental Guidance

Jun 13 2007

Posted by J. Angelo as Entertainment, Entertainment Features

We've had fairly adequate coverage of the recent Paris Hilton goes to jail saga. The skinny: Paris Hilton violates probation, is sent to jail, is let out under house arrest instead, and is ordered back to jail. I know it's only a 45-day sentence (commutable to 23, with good behavior), but prison/jail changes a man, they say. Or in this case, perhaps, a woman. Frankly, jail is one place I wouldn't want my children to get into, ever. When Paris Hilton was ordered back into jail, though, she pleaded with her mother to help her. And surely, her mum and ...

Paris Hilton finds God

Jun 12 2007

Posted by Jay as Entertainment, Entertainment Features, Featured Articles, News Features

Has she really? No kidding? Was it just a typo error – “d” first “g” last? That what Paris Hilton actually found was not “God” but her “dog”? Well, to the cynical, that could be the line of thinking. (By the way, for the curious, Paris’ dog is a tiny Chiahuahua whose name is “Tinkerbell.” That’s also the name used by Paris as her password in her mobile phone and email accounts. That’s why intruders have managed to break into her e-mail accounts. But the reports said that despite this, Paris has retained “Tinkerbell” as her password.)...

Her fiery screams and sizzling tears were not enough to melt the cold, cold heart of justice.
