>I don't particularly like to drink, but I would be willing to get drunk and drive if it would mean getting confined to Paris Hilton's West Hollywood home for 40 days. I might even take a swing at the judge if it would get the sentence extended to 20 years or so.

Hey, c'mon. Appears it was time well spent.

Hilton's lawyer, Richard A. Hutton, said Monday after his client's first night in jail that she was doing well under the circumstances. "She's using this time to reflect on her life, to see what she can do to make the world better and hopefully, in my opinion, to change the attitudes that exist about her among many people," Hutton said after visiting his client.

See? She's going to make the world better now. How many people are willing to do that (not counting Miss America contestants).
