NPR: A Paris Hilton post

A Paris Hilton post

I promised myself when I started this job I would never, ever blog about Paris Hilton. They could stick hot pokers in my eyes, pull out my fingernails, make me watch an entire season of "The View" re-runs. I would not crack.

Crack. I didn't even make it past the blog's first day.

But this is just too good to pass up. The Associated Press is reporting that prosecutors in Los Angeles want Hilton jailed for 45 days for violating terms of her probation for an alcohol-related reckless driving conviction.

In documents filed Monday in Superior Court, prosecutors said they also want Hilton to stay away from alcohol for 90 days and wear a monitoring device that will chart whether she complies. And they are seeking to have her license suspended for an additional four months.

Oh, this is too good to be true -- she would have to wear a monitoring device to make sure she doesn't go clubbing. (What will Lindsay do? Maybe this is why Britney went back to performing.)

I realize we're looking at a certain amount of Schadenfreude here, but I don't care. This woman has taken up WAY more than her allotted 15 minutes of fame.

I would be willing to use hot pokers if it would ensure that you never blog about Paris Hilton again. Paris Hilton can do whatever she wants just like all rich kids, and I'm sure she'll get out of this one too. Can we at least not talk about - it makes me jealous.

OK, I promise no more Paris. This was just too good an opportunity to pass up. For me, Ms. Hilton is like that buzzing noise you get in your ears when you hit your head too hard. She is the living embodiment of the old Seinfeld show - she's not about anything at all. So you have my word. To twist Casablanca a bit, we'll never have Paris.
