    Lil Kim...

    I think that everyone is making Paris and her jail sentence deeper than it is. Chick had 3 strikes and now she's in jail. Justice served. End of story.

    I barely care, but I have to note that its 45 days for Hilton and Lil Kim did 1 year. No one talked about poor Lil Kim and how hard it is. Lil Kim lied on the stand, and Paris got a DUI. Now which one is worse? Hmmm.

    Yeah, I could draw the race card, but the rich card works just as well. Any American other than Paris (or someone like her) would have gotten a hell of a lot more than just that initial slap on the wrist. And for the 2 times that she was stopped by the cops and warned, think about how many times she was stopped and let go because of her celebrity.

    Neverless, Paris and her perp walk dredges up issues about America's morality, meanness, and addiction to celebrity. What did we wonder about Lil Kim going to the slammer? How well her plastic surgery would hold without layers of makeup to offer some sort of method to that madness.

    Somehow because its Paris now some of us are getting all hepped up. Its 45 freakin' days!!! That's just enough time for Paris to be propositioned by both an inmate and a guard, go through the stages of grief, and find Islam before she's set free.

    Can't wait for Paris to get out so that she can do a rap album and write her own version of A Million Little Pieces.
