Has the war in Iraq ended? Are the presidential candidates losing momentum? Is Britney Spears’ life no longer of interest? Is the AIDS epidemic not worth mentioning? Then why the hell are all the journalists in the United States so gung-ho over Paris Hilton? Since when did an heiress turned sex video vixen turned club-hopping bimbo become worthy of live coverage? So much that radio helicopter pilots who normally report traffic to commuters are now dispatched to hover over Hilton’s home to keep the citizens aware of the latest developments in the “trial of the year.” So much that it has even compelled me to write a blog on it.
Admittedly though, being an avid E! news viewer, I am guilty of following the tragic turn of events in Ms. Hilton’s life. I mean, how dare the judicial system confine this fragile young woman in prison, then revoke her rights to house arrest, and then sentence her back to prison for 45 days? Justice truly must be blind if all the bling on her fingers, and the makeup on her face couldn’t have stirred the judge. Perhaps this time spent in solitude will give her time to introspect and gather material for her upcoming memoir. I can just picture the title now: “Paris in Prison: That’s Hot” – or better yet, “The Simple Life Turned Complicated."
