It's not often I find humour or satisfaction in other people's downfall (unless it's in a movie script) but this was just gold. I loathe people who appear to think they are above the law or better then everyone else. Celebrities are often guilty of this, but many of them worked to get where they are or in some circumstances, got a lucky break.
This celebrity however, did nothing, earnt nothing and as far as I can see, is bored with everything in life.
In my view this is one of two things, 1. Another publicity stunt like 'One night in Paris' or 2. She might stop (seeming) to take the world for granted and thinking she's all that (Ha.. yea right).

The endless party that is Paris Hilton's lifestyle was gatecrashed by the long arm of the law on Friday as the socialite was sentenced to 45 days in prison for a parole violation.
The millionaire heiress to the Hilton hotel empire looked close to tears as she wailed "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" just moments before receiving her sentence at downtown Los Angeles' Metropolitan Court.
Hilton must start her sentence at the Century Regional Detention Facility on June 5 or else serve a 90-day jail term.

After the hearing, an outraged Kathy Hilton shouted at prosecutors: "You're pathetic!" before asking sarcastically: "Can I have your autograph?"
Hilton's lawyer Howard Weitzman said he would appeal the sentence, which he described as "uncalled for, inappropriate and bordered on the ludicrous."
"It's clear she's been selectively targeted, in my opinion," Weitzman said.
But Los Angeles city attorney Rocky Delgadillo said in a statement "the ruling sends a clear message that in the City of Los Angeles no one is above the law."
Hilton's parole violation conviction came after she was caught driving on a suspended license in February following her no contest plea to drink-driving.
Prosecutors had warned on Thursday they would seek a jail sentence for the blonde style icon but it did not deter Hilton from testing the patience of the court by turning up for her hearing at least 15 minutes late.
Soberly dressed in a dark suit with a white blouse, with her blonde hair swept back in a pony tail, Hilton did not comment as she arrived, running a gauntlet of at least 60 paparazzi and reporters.
Builders on a construction site opposite the court-house shouted "Jail time!" to dozens of television crews and photographers who ringed the building in downtown Los Angeles.
Satellite television trucks crowded side streets and local news crews hovered overhead in helicopters, completing a surreal scene at the court, which normally deals with minor traffic violations.
Prosecutors told the court Hilton had been stopped on January 15 by California Highway Patrol and told that she was not allowed to be driving.
On that occasion, Hilton signed a police statement acknowledging that she was not supposed to drive, and she was let off with an informal warning.
But just over a month later she was hauled over again in Hollywood when spotted driving her $190,000 Bentley Continental GTC at night with her headlights off.
Hilton's spokesman said his client was unaware she was violating her parole — but prosecutors dismissed that line of argument, citing the earlier brush with traffic police in January.
Hilton had lost her licence for alcohol-related reckless driving and was given 36 months probation.
The charges stemmed from her September 7 arrest after she was found driving her Mercedes with an alcohol level equal to the legal limit.
Court documents described her decision to repeatedly keep driving as a "flagrant" violation of court orders and demanded that she be given a custodial sentence.
They also alleged Hilton failed to enroll in an alcohol education program within 21 days of the order directing her to do so.
A favorite target for tabloid gossip and the paparazzi, Hilton appeared in the reality television series "The Simple Life," and in 2003 an unauthorized sex video with her former boyfriend appeared on the Internet.
She ventured into music last year with a debut album and has had cameo roles in a handful of films, including the 2005 horror film "House of Wax."

Well, I guess that what happens when you think mummy and daddy with get you out of everything. She really does deserve it though. What is everyone else's thoughts on this? And what do you think will happen to her in a county jail?

Have you ever heard something, and just gone, "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?"
I mean, in public and everything.
Why does no one ever tell me anything!? They all just assumed I already knew...
I know the drummer in Bob Seger's band.
Seriously.
I was best friends with his DAUGHTER.
I've been to his HOUSE.
Inside!
I slept over there, and got creeped out because it was so fuckin huge!
My friend got her toe crushed by their fancy marble chairs!
And I thought they were just rich because they owned the Campbell soup company, or something.
Silly Filipino people … you did not spell "youre" right in number ten of your list of things that ruin profiles. if you were filipino that would not have happened. left by flipninja just now
my bad, god forbids i make a typo ... all hail the mighty filipino...if you weren't the equivalent of the "Mexicans" in Asia. You wouldn't have to rely to your c0cky pose to hide away the shameful fact that Filipino men do not possess any genitals. Stand proud..*thumbs up left by madeintaiwan just now
listen here you crazy Taiwan girl with your tricky camera angles trying to make your little asian boobies appear larger - i just thought it was funny how u made a big deal about spelling "youre" right and then you spell it wrong. Using the incorrect form of the "yours" is something a mexican would do so therefore YOU must be the mexican. now go build a house or something. left by flipninja just now
HAHAHAHA wow, now that's comic relief right there, that's like replying with what i just said to you. heh.. i'm sure it was necessary to inform everyone in your own comment box that you have a big shlong (all fictional mind you...silly delusional Filipinos)..i mean, you wouldn't want all your cyber friends to think you're a complete Pussy right? you're a real champ ..go you! left by madeintaiwan just now
sorry that i'm not on bangme constantly to give you my witty responses in a timely manner. i have more important things to do like looking at myself in the mirror and riding my mini spiderman chopper. i also enjoy making poems. here is one for you: the taiwans suck they smell like poo they cry about their little boobies my cyber friends think im mr. cool so why dont you kill yourself. left by flipninja just now
wow! you came up with that all by yourself? wouldn't expect any less from a brain dead filipino...speaking of suicide, Home Depot is having a sale on ropes. hurry there with your mini spiderman chopper and buy yourself a piece..then hang yourself, but before that..make sure you write a detailed suicide note before committing the deed. nah, who am i kidding? no one will read it... left by madeintaiwan just now
excellent come back. but i would probably get my rope at lowes because i get a TEN percent discount. and i would probably use my rope not to kill myself but to kill as many taiwans as i could because they smell so bad and they breath up all my air. everyone knows that when God first made humans in his large oven that black people came out burnt, white people undercooked, and filipinos just right. he then made taiwan people from his poop. left by flipninja just now
HAHAHAHA Taiwan people aren't brown silly, filipinos are. wait, were they over cooked in the oven, or did they just burn from the unmerciful sun after the Chinese (Taiwan/ me..) took over your sHitty country and made you slave for about 1 dollar a day in our shoe factories? bah, who am i kidding. lets just forget the past...on a lighter note, tell your mom that she's late..she was scheduled to clean my house at 12, it's okay this time, i understand she works a second job around the street corner...but make sure you tell her to stop stealing pennies from our penny jar. (its for charity to a third world country)..if she cleans it the house properly, who knows..we might just liberate the philippines ..and donate ..5$ left by madeintaiwan just now
lol. wow, i dont remember china being so well off. you guys might have money but it doesn’t help that there are about a trillion fifillion of you chinkies. that leaves about .05 cents for each person. you guys only took over the Philippines because there were only about 100 or so filipinos and all we did was look good and frolic in the jungles. the chinese, as everyone knows, are blind due to their very squinty eyes so in order to take over the Philippines they took up every possible spot on the islands with their insanely huge population and killed anyone that was taller than 4 feet or anyone that smelled like flowers. because filipinos smell like flowers. left by flipninja just now
HAHAHA! Taiwan > China. enough said. besides we only took over your filthy country out of pity, we could have easily invaded Singapore or Vietnam, (they were a little harder, they don't get bribed as easily, we offered 1 dollar a day per worker..but they demanded more, Philippines on the other hand was much easier..they were mesmerized by our superior linguistic skills much unlike that barbarism bullsHit you call a language) but man..the Philippines is strictly out of charity, without the Chinese your mom would probably still be whoring herself around the street corners. Us, Chinese built factories for your poor ass to work..and come on, we even allow your 5 year old brother join the fun, isn't that good enough? haha filipinos don't smell like flowers ..you're borderline Indian..you can almost pass for a terrorist. left by madeintaiwan just now
took you long enough to respond. did you mean to say taiwan > philippines? anyways...that is completely false. it is a known fact that the philippines is pretty much the greatest place ever to exist no matter what happened in the past. says so in the bible. God separated the philippines from the mainland because we were just too awesome to be associated with everyone else. our country only got dirty once you stupid chinese and spanish people came over. lets forget about the past tho. today filipinos are either rich or so beautiful that they will eventually become rich. taiwan people are dirty hookers that own laundry shops and serve cats at restaurants. they also spend too much time online arguing with cool people like me just to make them feel important. i am going to sleep. tomorrow we will discuss my dry cleaning needs. left by flipninja 7 hours
Took me long enough to respond? what are you retarded? i responded right after your pathetic comment. HAHAHA Philippines is the greatest place? wow, you're completely delusional. No one cares about the Philippines...the only reason Philippines is on the world's atlas is because the accomplishments the Chinese did to the Philippines. I.e building shoe factories or hire your whore of a mother to clean my house..HAHAHA filipinos aren't rich silly..they either sell themselves on the internet to a lonely balding man in order to leave that god forsaken country (mail order wife I.e. your mother), some dirty house cleaning lady (your mother), become a nanny (..it's a little too technical for your mother..i mean, look what happened to you.) ..oh no, i mustn't anger the mighty filipino man, out of rage he might just kidnap my grandma and hold her hostage..then ask for a 7$ ransom. besides, taiwan people can't possibly be hookers, theres too much dignity at stand..Taiwan people..hum yeah, i guess they would own a laundry shop, then they would hire dirty filipinos to wash the clothes by hands then pay them 2 dollars a day..no? okay..hows does 2.50$ sound? ...nah, nevermind i think we might hire Mexicans instead, its a known fact that they're more credible ...and doesn't smell like a fresh diaper. left by madeintaiwan just now
...i do like filipinos ...just for the record..^^:;
The Chinese government wants change. They continuously create and upgrade economic laws and social policy. But they are very concerned about changing at any pace but the one they have set for themselves. So Chinese who push or shove the wrong way may end up in prison.
But individual Chinese are still picking their battles in the war of change. Hao Jinsong, one of China Consumer Journal’s top ten consumer heroes of the year, pushed the railroad companies on an unfair exploitation of tax law and won. Railroads have been refusing to give out receipts for service on their trains and, by doing so, they have effectively avoided paying income tax on goods and services offered onboard their trains. You can imagine what a railroad company that carries about one billion passengers a year will lose in income tax from these services.
Why did Hao Jinsong take China’s railroad to court over receipts? I haven’t interviewed him, but I think he’s just sticking it to the man. It’s not fair that a big, state-owned company doesn’t have to pay taxes when the average Joe does. Besides, he wanted his receipts. Mr. Hao is fighting against the unfairness involved in the system without getting himself labeled as a reactionary. He wants state-owned enterprises, or any big corporation, I imagine, to be accountable to the government and to the common people. So he picks his fights carefully, hoping to create change in an indirect way.
This story makes me think of a mouse bringing a lion to its knees. But Hao did not win this case easily. To sue the railroad company, he had to go to a special railroad court controlled by, you guessed it, the railroad company. His first two suits were swatted aside like flies, but Hao managed to get his suit tried in higher and higher courts until he got his receipts. I mean, his justice.
