Ding Dong! Paris is in jail!!!
Yeah! In the first successful step for Citizens Against BS Hollywood Media Sluts, Paris Hilton is IN JAIL without a pardon from the Govenator!!!
Apparently she went in 2 days before she had to turn herself in, and is serving her 23 days in jail. Her Mama and little sister took her in, and there her lawyer made a total crap statement about how she'd really learned about making conscious choices, and although she is scared, she is ready for jail. I truly wonder if in her bubble head, she thinks this is an after-school special about jail, or if she really gets the full reality of how trashy her life has just become.... I'm thinking it's not the latter concept. Before turning herself in, she made an appearance presenting an award at the MTV Movie Awards.
Who booked her?!? Who thought, "Oh, if only there was a convicted criminal that we could send into the homes of teenagers everywhere as a symbol of grace and style and success....Hmmmm, if only!!!" (Well, you know, except for all those rap guys...)
I think she is exactly the worst thing going in youth culture, and we are way overdue for a Subculture Shock Treatment. (No, you cannot name your band that, a-hole!) I don't mean serious evil Trench Coat Mafia stuff, I mean, I want there to be an IQ prerequisite, or at least actual talent, in the new media darlings. I want addiction-free, well-read, NOT emaciated, culturally valid icons for a while again.
I know culture well enough to know that there's always ebb and flow. Jumping in at the 50's, we had the Rat pack, then Hoffman, Sarandon, DeNiro, and Streep. We went back and got the Brat Pack, and then we came to Ryder, Cooper, Depp, Portman, etc. Now we have Lohan, Davis, Spears, and Hilton. I can only be so optimistic to hope that the backlash is just around the bend.... and that the world will right itself again.
Until then, I will spend the next 23 days truly hoping that a light bulb will go off in a cell in Southern California, and that a girl may learn how it is to be a human, and not a publicity stunt. Either that, or some inmate roomie will end up writing a tell-all and making a tiny portion of the Hiltons' money off the idiotic exploits of their bratty kid. Then maybe we can divert our national attention towards why Nicole Richie and either of the Olsen twins are turning into emaciated fashion zombies. You know.... or that war or something.
