The thing is... she's NOT ALLOWED TO DRIVE! Her license was automatically suspended by the DMV. THAT is the law. So, on top of the DUI, she then broke the law twice by driving without a license. No matter what, she is not supposed to drive. Since she, basically, already violated probation twice (simply by breaking the law and driving), I think she should get what she was sentenced for.

Now the jail term, that's a whole 'nother story.

There was speculation this morning on the radio about what kind of punishment Nicole Ritchie is going to get for her DUI. Remember she was driving on the wrong side of the highway.

There was the chap on Larry King last night who was saying that John Q Public for the exact same things Paris was charged with basically goes in one door of the jail out out the other...usually about 24 hours in the pokey. And that Paris was indeed getting differential treatment in that she she served about 3 times the usual time in jail as either you or I would.

Was she actually convicted of a DUI, or did she plead guilty to reckless driving?

She pled no contest to the DUI charge in September. She was sentenced to suspended license for three months. Then she was caught driving in January (apparently, erratically) and was warned she was violating probation and couldn't drive. Then she was caught yet again, violating probation by driving, and that's when she had her court date.

Right or wrong, maybe the judge has decided that with all of celebrity shennanigans of late, it's time to crack the whip and using Paris to make an example out of. I applaud him for holding his ground.

FWIW, I think it's got absolutely nothing to do with her celebrity or overcrowded jails. She basically flaunted the law, not once, not twice, but three times. There's the thing "menace to society". If she's allowed to continue breaking the law, there's gonna be some serious liability if someone actually gets hurt (or heaven forbid, dies) as a result of her "erratic driving."

I think the judge just had enough. Her sentence wasn't the highest sentence he could impose. It was totally in the middle. But I think her attitude, and the attitude of her parents, finally pushed the judge over the edge.

Sometimes you've gotta pay the piper. And it's time that someone stood up to Ms Hilton.

Hmm... is this evil of me? I hope someone gets the money shot of Paris' new ankle jewelry as she leaves her house!

Is there any streaming video out there so we can watch? I heard when I left for work that the judge was requiring that she come to court, has she left to go yet?

Last night's snarky video mentioning that Michelle Rodriguez didn't serve time in jail falls on cold ears for me, and, yeah, most people with attorneys and money for same get off lightly but that doesn't make her sentence wrong. Maybe most people go into court showing remorse, rather than directly off the red carpet, too.

I saw the footage of her being taken away and it was a paparazzi madhouse. She didn't drive, they took her away in cuffs. Her hairdresser visited to make sure she looked good for her court appearance.

TMZ.com has a great shot of her bawling her eyes out in the back of the police car. The editor of TMZ also seems to think the judge is out for blood. I'm thinking more along the lines of he's gotten mad that she just flaunts her law-breaking abilities in front of him. LOL.

Paris is "fragile" and can't cope in jail? That's the biggest laugh of all.

That's a fantastic photo over at TMZ. Thanks, Costa. I'm horrible for enjoying seeing that so much.

Did Michelle Rodriquez violate probation 2x? It bugs me when news compares that case.Let's compare exact cases. Normal joe blow or jane blow who violated probation 2x in 4 months.

Just reported that she's going back to jail and they took her out of the courtroom screaming.

I feel bad for her. I know she did this three times, but it's awful to see someone degraded like this.
The only justification might be the message being sent to other would-be drunk drivers that NO ONE is immune to the law.

I don't feel bad. She wants to be in the spotlight. She is. You can't choose when.
