The Simple Life (Not)

By now, we all know that Paris Hilton’s going to jail on June 5 for 45 days. Her cell mate’s going to get rich.

It was Breaking News on CNN on Friday.

Seriously.

CNN and all the outlets really ought to put a moratorium on “Breaking News”; in fact, the expression only should be used when the troops come home.

Now, is it “cruel” that the heir-head has had to find out that stars may be blind but justice isn’t – the hard way? Perhaps, but it’s wickedly enjoyable to see that she’s being held accountable for what she does or, in this case, I guess, doesn’t do.

At the end of the day it’s like, big whoop. But the debate will rage on…I already can see the headlines.

Is pop culture finally sending Paris Hilton away by actually sending her away (to the clink)? Or will this new “street cred,” if you will, make her a bigger phenomenon than ever before? We’ll find out this summer. You gotta give it to her, though: she'll go everywhere.

On a sort of unrelated note, say it isn’t so, Lindsay!
