A New Paris? Je ne pense pas.

Finally got around to watching Paris Hilton's interview with Larry King. It was so ridiculous. I actually went so far as to think she didn't look terrible when she was released from jail last week, but I'm guessing someone hit her with a baseball bat before she went on air because she looked awful...it was like she tried to make up for 3 weeks worth of botox and lip collagen implants because she was all puffy.

Poor Larry King. He's old enough, he shouldn't have had to deal with dragging a full sentence out of Paris's mouth like he did. I'm pretty sure he needed his heart re-booted after that interview.

After spending 3.5 weeks behind bars for multiple parole violations, it still doesn't seem as though Paris is clear as to what she did wrong. In describing her situation, she said she thought it was ok for her to drive because her lawyer told her her liscence was suspended for 30 days, and then she could only drive back and forth to work for another 90 days. Then she talked about the second time she was pulled over for driving on a suspended liscence, how she was going to In & Out Burger. How does that constitute driving to work?

Paris looked at her time in jail to focus on herself and think about who she is and what she wants to do...like it was a stint in rehab or attending a self-help seminar...not a punishment for committing multiple offenses.

She claimed she was treated just like any other inmate--no better, no worse--yet she still insinuates she was treated unfairly, citing others who go to jail for the same offense she did only spend 10% of their sentence behind bars, and she served 50%, and the sentence didn't fit the crime. Hmm, she may actually have a point there.

Some memorable quotes:

• "It's prison food. It's not supposed to be good."
• "I didn't want to cause a media circus...going in."
• "I'm an Aquarius, we're social people" (yes, she actually said this on Larry King Live)
• Larry (throwing out names she has been associated with to get a comment): "Britney Spears." Paris: "Mmhmm." [pause] Larry: "What about her."

What's the celebutante up to now? Vacationing on Maui, trying to blend in wearing HUGE sunglasses, OVERSIZED sun hats, and godawful wigs. Welcome back, Paris!
