This is partially an update to the other thread, but I couldn't help myself. Haven't our wounded veterans suffered enough? Paris' new contrition may be cynical ploy, but could just work By ANDREW GLAZER, Associated Press Writer Sunday, June 10, 2007 (06-10) 19:29 PDT Los Angeles (AP) -- One day Paris Hilton is screaming for her mommy as she is cuffed and taken to the pokey in a reckless driving case. The next, she's the model of magnanimity, saying she wouldn't appeal her 45-day sentence and that she is "learning and growing" from her time behind bars. ... Sands describes Hilton's change of heart as "media ploy." But unlike actor/director Mel Gibson — who remains on the fringes after he launched an anti-Semitic tirade at the police officer who arrested him for drunken driving last summer — Hilton will emerge smelling as sweet as her namesake perfume, he said. "She will become a real Hollywood star from this experience," he said. "If she handles it like a famous person and goes to a military base, visits Walter Reed, then Hollywood will embrace her. It's very forgiving. It's not like she insulted the Jews." http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2007/06/10/entertainment/e142008D48.DTL
