Paris Hilton Off To Jail

The biggest news of the weekend/year/century (depending on just how addicted you are to celebrity gossip) was that Paris Hilton is headed to the slammer. Paris was sentenced to 45 days at a women's facility in Lynwood, CA, but the exact amount of time she'll end up serving remains to be seen, as area jails are severely overcrowded.

You'd think it's the ultimate in schadenfreude, but Paris' sentence will probably bring her more publicity, photo ops, and ultimately, money, than anything else. One of the worst parts of this whole thing is that the jail cells at Century Regional Detention Facility remind us a bit of hostel rooms from our past. If Ms. Hilton is truly enterprising, she will pick up where sis Nicky crashed and burned, take on Tony Fernandes in the hot budget hotel market, and work on a chain of no-frills hotels inspired by her time served.
