Paris Loves Tiny Dogs, Changing her Tune

Paris' handful of puppy love out in LA this week goes along pretty well with her new softer tactic in dealing with her 45 day sentence. Last week she fired Elliot and angrily called the sentence cruel and unwarranted. This week Elliot is back, she's got a new lawyer, "DUI expert" Richard Hutton, and she's bravely facing her punishment. She even released the following statement:

"After reading the media's coverage of my court hearing, I feel the need to correct what I believe are misperceptions about me. I absolutely realize how serious driving under the influence is. I could not live with myself if anyone was injured or killed while I was driving while impaired. Clearly, no one should -- no matter how slightly.

I am ready to face the consequences of violating probation.

No one is above the law. I surely am not. I do not expect to be treated better than anyone else who violated probation. However, my hope is that I will not be treated worse."

That sounds like the perfect statement, though we doubt Paris had a whole lot to do with writing it. It sounds like at this point she's just going to have to wait and see what happens.

    The statement's a well-written lie for sure. Who's repping her now that Elliot is out of the picture. And speaking of out of the picture, why isn't Tinkerbell in the handful of doggies?

    She has been treated better than anyone else her entire life so how can she say she doesn't expect to be treated worse. "Worse" for her is probably "the norm" for us!

    oh, please, she didn't write it. and yeah, she rehired mintz, so he probably wrote it in response to her rant in front of the razzis the other day

    Well, maybe she's taken the time to think things through after reacting to her sentence. Remember that she was upset when she reacted, so chances are that she was extremely upset over her sentencing. Her supposed inability to take this like an adult would or failure to take the responsibility for her actions had nothing to do with that then. I still think that the prosecutor was being overzealous in his pursuit of justice, especially since I find it to be unethical to use anyone, regardless of whether or not they're celebrities, as an example of what the outcome could be if others found themselves in the same situation that the accused was in.

    Awwww. Such cute puppies, such a sad Paris. I don't think any of it is an act, but let's wait until you're up on the chopping block and see how your face looks? I'm sure you're not going to be all smiles either. I agree with bibiruby, and if she didn't agree with the statement (whether she wrote it or not) she wouldn't have said it, so I'm glad she feels that way. I always felt that she did realize how terrible driving under the influence was and that she really did make a mistake, which is something any of us could do.

    Also, I highly doubt it bothered the dogs to be held that way, especially since they're all snuggled together and licking her face. Sticking out tongue

    OH WHATEVER..she is still the same person. She's just hoping that the judge will give her less time. She's going to be back to her old ways when this is all over. When is she going to be punished for her DUI!?!

    New lawyer..new tactic.. pointing fingers didn't work. So now is the hail mary pass of I take full responsiblity and throw myself on the mercy of the court.. I cannot live without extensions and blue contacts for 45 days..look at my dogs.. they need me..they will starve without me.. please I beg of you.

    I like this tactic better..at least it sends a healthier message. Not healthy..that would have been taking responsibility right from the start.. but a def improvement even if feigned.

    LorenAshley, how do YOU know if that's actually her motive or not? You don't have to like Paris, but really, how can you tell that this isn't genuine?

    imabeliever, how do you know that this is a tactic? Maybe she DID think the whole thing through, she IS capable of doing that whether you like to think so or not, and chose to take a different approach to the situation. That so-called hail mary pass is false if you ask me, if she wanted to do that, wouldn't she have done so last week while in court? Since there aren't any reports of that happening, she didn't do anything of the sort.

    your eyes are not decieving you and that is no trick photography.. Her feet have always been boats.. But she is tall (i think)..so it is all relative.

    Rehiring Elliot was the best thing she could have done. Although, I was weirded out by how sad he was to have been let go. Wouldn't it be a relief? Or is the pay really that great...

    bibiruby... I really hope she had a coming to Jesus talk with her new lawyer and that he gave it to her straight and she is sincere. For the sake of all the young girls who look up to her.. I hope she is sincere. Wasn't there a picture of her driving her car again since her 45 day sentencing on Mollygood..caught by the paps violating her parole again? Maybe it was those pictures and the new lawyer that made her realize she needs to wake up and start walking the walk.

    I agree with imabeliever; this is just a new -- albeit better and more mature-- tactic to try to get the sentence appealed. I think she is really pathetic and dumb because it's quite easy to do the research and find out that in fact that she is NOT being treated any worse than a "regular person" in a similar sitaution. It is quite standard to give 30-45 days in jail for repeatedly violating probation, and ignorance is NOT a valid defense. It disgusts me that she (& her lawyers) are stupid enough to think that it's OK for her to claim it wasn't her fault bc she doesn't read her own mail and just does what her publicist tells her to do. Since when is it a valid legal argument to claim the defendant was innocent because he/she got incorrect legal advice FROM A PUBLICIST! Ugh this b*tch needs to grow up and get a clue - human beings have minds for a reason....so we can THINK and make the most reasonable decisions and actions. She cannot, apparently, think for herself -- she admitted it! -- and she'll learn sooner or later that that will NEVER bring her happiness and WILL land her in jail. Dumb wh*re.

    she didn't say those things, drewsfan, it was statement that was release. we all know she signs things without reading it, so who knows if she read her press releases or not. and it's not only paris that doesn't write her own press releases, most, if not all, don't, so i wouldn't expect her to write her own either. personally, i do think she is switching tatic, from blaming others to appearing remorseful. i mean, she caught on camera fake crying, while in the car with her mom, with the windows conviently rolled down, so the cameras could get it. i don't know, but if it was me and jail was in my inevitable future, i don't think i would have the heart to still go out partying every night, and that's saying a lot, cause like paris, i am a party girl. but to each it's own, i mean, she's still going out night after night, the only difference is now, instead of smiling to the cameras, she has on her somber face. moreover, i don't really think that 45 days is making an example of paris. first of, she most likely won't even do the whole 45 days sentence, that's just how things are, celebrity or not. and i have read cases, where poeple have been sent to the slammer for more than 45 days, doing the same exact things she did.

    Her actions in the past have shown that she is a shallow, mean spirited person. I can't believe how many people buy her "pity me" act (and how many people have bought that same line from Britney as well).

    She is not being made an example of though. This is the same standard sentence any normal person who violates a DUI probation ONCE would even get (and she violated it twice). Unless the typical laws and standard sentences do not apply here...

    This is not a "crazy" sentence. It is typical and standard for a DUI probation violation. Some states even have harsher laws than this.

    We have to look at this from a legal standpoint. Who she is does not matter at all. The facts are the facts.

    Well said, ahs_marisa!! Paris is trying to fool the public into thinking that the judge is being harsher on her because of who she is, but that just isn't the case. Her sentence is quite standard.

    I wouldn't say that I'm buying into her 'pity me' act, I'd feel bad for anyone that had to go to jail for something like this and would have hoardes of people cheering it on. I truly believe she's been remorseful from the beginning, even if she wasn't very smart about it.

    I think that if she was remorseful from the beginning, she wouldn't have driven twice when her license was revoked. It isn't like she didn't have plenty of warning, even before her 1st violation.

    I also don't think people would be cheering for her jail term if she was NICE to others...but she has shown many times that she is quite cruel. In the end, behavior like that will bite you in the tooshy. She chose to be on camera being mean, and I think she underestimated the power of that.

    imabeliever, she didn't need jesus in order for her to think this through. If you don't like her, that's fine, you don't have to. Why does there have to be proof of sincerity when half of the gossip that most believe to be true didn't have any proof to begin with.

    Ginger, just because Paris came from a privileged background doesn't mean that she isn't smart enough to take care of herself. Who are you to determine that? I wouldn't believe everything I read in gossip rags and on TMZ.com because they aren't always reliable. It's not your place to determine whether or not she can.

    Jillness, once again, you can dislike Paris all you want from every whichway to Sunday for all I care, but really I've gone to school with people who were just as bad as you're making her out to be, some were even worse than that, however Paris isn't perfect she has her good and bad days. Her actions in the past may have shown that she can be mean spirited and shallow, but there's probably more to her than what you think of her as. I just don't judge people based on past actions, I guess, it doesn't make me a better person than you or vice versa, because they are just that...in the past. She's probably moved on from that and we should too. She's a good person at heart, just try reading an article on her in a seventeen magazine or find an article that features her being interviewed.

    ash_marisa, once again, she is and you know it. You don't have to like Paris at all, but really, it's stupid and unethical to use her as an example just because she's a celebrity. The same goes for the regular joe. Prosecutors(unless they're appointed by the state governor)pull this stunt to ensure that they're worthy enough of being re-elected when their term is up or is about to end. You just want her in jail because you don't like her. That really isn't a good reason at all, imo.

    Brainprofessor, she's not a dumb wh*re, that isn't fair at all. You don't have to like her and you're entitled to your opinion. Would you like it if someone who didn't know you at all just got up and called YOU a dumb wh*re? Just think about that.
