Kathy Hilton's dream world
Filed under: Celeb Kids, Celeb Parents, Behaving Badly, Alcohol & Drugs
Despite what some people may think, Paris Hilton did not drop onto this earth from Planet Rich Girl , drink in hand and ready to declare things 'hot'. No, she has a mother just like everyone else and that mother, Kathy Hilton, clearly loves her daughter very much. After a year of silence, Kathy is opening up about those terrible days when her eldest daughter spent 45 days in the slammer for violating her DUI probation.There is nothing earth-shattering or even all that interesting about what Kathy Hilton has to say about Paris' jailhouse experience. Paris was scared, Paris cried, Paris had to wear a scratchy 'jail suit', etc. What she does reveal is an obvious superiority complex. Kathy tells the Daily Mail: "People say: 'Oh she's spoilt, she's this, she's that.' But, until you've walked in someone's shoes for many miles, don't make a judgment call. It's true that life's been comfortable for Paris and jail was probably tougher on her than it would be on, let's say, an everyday person."
As one of those everyday people Kathy refers to, I feel like I should be offended by that last statement. As if your average drunk-driving housewife would find incarceration a piece of cake and not the punishment it was intended to be. But I am not offended because she's right. Paris is different. And in reading Kathy Hilton's words, I begin to understand why.

Perhaps Kathy needs to reflect upon her daughter's willful endangerment of some of us "everyday persons" when she hops her drunken ass into her luxury hooptie and goes for a joyride. Well, of course, that's assuming that there are any "everyday persons" in Beverly Hills...
