Paris Hilton: 26-Year-Old Child

Oh, no!

She was crying!

She was wearing a sweatshirt!!

She was wearing no make-up!!!

Paris Hilton's health and well-being is in jeopardy.

Poor Paris was forced back to court.

Alas, her Friday night house arrest celebration wasn't meant to be.

It's back to jail for the heiress.

LOS ANGELES -- She was taken handcuffed and crying from her home. She was escorted into court disheveled, without makeup, hair askew and face red with tears.

Crying out for her mother when she was ordered back to jail, Paris Hilton's cool, glamorous image evaporated Friday as she gave the impression of a little girl lost in a merciless legal system.

"It's not right!" shouted the weeping Hilton. "Mom!" she called out to Kathy Hilton, who also was in tears.

The 26-year-old hotel heiress tried to move toward her parents but was steered away by two sheriff's deputies, who held her by each arm and hustled her from the courtroom.

What a drama queen!

Hilton is 26. She's no kid. She's an adult. She's a grown woman. Crying out for mommy to do something to make it all better is an embarrassment.

When is Hilton going to grow up?

Now might be a good time.

She should quit acting like a spoiled child. She should suck it up, shut up, and complete her sentence.

...Hilton's jailhouse saga began Sept. 7, when she failed a sobriety test after police saw her weaving down a street in her Mercedes-Benz on what she said was a late-night hamburger run.

She pleaded no contest to reckless driving and was sentenced to 36 months' probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines. In the months that followed she was stopped twice while driving on a suspended license. The second stop landed her in Sauer's courtroom.

How many strikes is Hilton supposed to get before she's called out?

She was driving impaired.

During her probation, she was stopped TWO TIMES driving with a suspended license.

She could have injured or killed someone. Driving under the influence is no minor offense.

Furthermore, she's not above the law. There must be consequences for her complete, REPEATED disregard of her sentence.

Naturally, The New York Times takes the stand that poor Paris is a victim of her own celebrity.

Ms. Hilton, 26, wearing no makeup and with her hair disheveled, sobbed and screamed, “Mom, this isn’t right,” as she was taken from the packed courtroom by deputies.

It was a rare moment in this star-filled city, where badly behaving celebrities can seemingly get away with anything — or at least D.U.I. But Ms. Hilton, for all her money and celebrity, seems to have been caught between battling arms of the justice system here, with prosecutors and Judge Sauer determined to make a point by incarcerating her, only to have the sheriff’s office let her go.

“She’s a pawn in a turf fight right now,” said Laurie Levenson, a law professor at Loyola Law School Los Angeles. “It backfired against her because she’s a celebrity. She got a harsher sentence because she was a celebrity. And then when her lawyer found a way out of jail, there was too much public attention for it to sit well with the court.”

So it's Judge Sauer who is running amok here.

That's crazy.

Hilton wouldn't be a "pawn in a turf fight" if she had behaved responsibly in the first place.

She wouldn't be in jail now if she had accepted her punishment and followed the requirements of her sentence.

Hilton is acting like someone half her age. Some 13-year-olds are more mature than she is.

Clearly, mommy and daddy didn't give little 26-year-old Paris the skills she needs to function in society. They didn't teach her right from wrong. If they did, she was either too stupid to grasp the concepts or too selfish to bother with them.

Little Paris probably hasn't ever been held personally accountable for her behavior.

The 26-year-old needs to GROW UP. She needs to take responsibility. That's part of being an adult.
