Ya think?

The Sheriff’s Department opened an investigation Thursday into allegations that Paris Hilton received special treatment during her 23 days in jail for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case, authorities said.

The internal probe will examine whether the hotel heiress was given free access to a cordless phone instead of being forced to wait in line to use a pay phone at certain hours, sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore said.

Also under scrutiny are claims Hilton received a new jail uniform instead of the recycled ones given to many inmates and that her mail was delivered by a captain instead of inmate trusties, Whitmore said.

The allegations were brought to the attention of the department’s union, the Association for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs, by its members, the Los Angeles Times reported Thursday on its Web site.

Whitmore said the claims differ from the department’s own information about Hilton’s incarceration.

“We’re going to investigate it and get to the bottom of it and find out exactly what happened,” he said.

A message left with a Hilton spokesman late Thursday was not immediately returned.

The department was also accused of granting Hilton special treatment when Sheriff Lee Baca released the 26-year-old from jail after only three days for medical reasons. She was sent back to jail after one night.

Gee, I think it was pretty obvious that Paris received special treatment when she was released to go home after being ’suicidal’.
Hooray for the union and it’s members who raised a stink about this. I bet it was an embarrassment to them.

For the first time since leaving jail, Paris Hilton hit the town.

Hilton, her sister Nicky, and a friend clubbed it up at Hollywood hot spot Les Deux Friday night.

Paris also had a couple of body guards accompany her party.

Paris was her usual attention whore self, dancing on a couch in the middle of the club hoping to be noticed by every eye in the house. Club Les Deux played up to the bitches ego by playing her lame ass song, ‘The Stars are Blind’.

Yeah, she’s changed.

In a new biography simply called, ‘Diana Ross’, by J. Randy Taraborrelli, Ross is described as a woman who let her fame go to her head. And how.

The book claims Ross treated her staff terribly, one time even firing all 8 people working for her and then writing a letter trying to have them blacklisted everywhere.

The letter said: “If I let an employee go, it’s because either their work or their personal habits are not acceptable to me. I do not recommend these people. In fact, if you hear from these people and they use my name as a reference, I wish to be contacted.”

At least two of the former employees sued the star for millions of dollars.

Diana once hit an airline staff member over the head with a hat box that contained a small dog. She later claimed she was unaware the box contained the animal.

Taraborrelli writes: “Most of the time, Diana’s emotional outbursts were about things that really didn’t matter much to anyone but her.”

Other claims made in the book include ‘avert the eyes’ becoming the catchphrase used to announce Ross’ arrival as she insisted no one make eye contact with her.

Ross demanded dressing rooms were redecorated and “made to look like a star’s dressing room”.

Even Ross’ then-nine-year-old daughter, Tracee carried a notebook and pencil everywhere she went to keep a list of employees she thought were acting improperly.

Taraborrelli also alleges Ross upstaged Florence Ballard - who was axed from The Supremes and who was the basis for Jennifer Hudson’s ‘Dreamgirls’ character Effie - at Ballard’s funeral.

The book claims Ross marched from her front-row pew to the altar, took the microphone and announced, “Mary and I would now like to have a silent prayer.”

Taraborelli claims Supremes member Mary Wilson was sitting discreetly at the back of the church, and “the last thing she wanted to do was go up to the altar and be the center of attention”.

The new book is scheduled to hit shelves in September.

"This early release gives all of the appearances of economic and racial favoritism that is constantly cited by poor people and people of color. There are any number of cases of people who handle being incarcerated badly and even have health conditions that are not released."

"I have served several sentences for civil rights and civil disobedience actions and I even fasted which caused health concerns to prison authorities who paid for a doctor to come see me daily rather than release me. This act smacks of the double standards that many of us raise."

Amen brother!

Paris Hilton has left jail after only serving a few days due to an undisclosed medical issue.

She left after midnight last night and is resting comfortable at home. She will  serve the rest of her sentence at her ultra lavish mansion wearing an electronic monitoring device.

"She was not released, she was reassigned," Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Dept. spokesperson Steve Whitmore said at a press conference Thursday.

He could not disclose what the medical issue was due to privacy laws. He declined to say whether it was physical or psychological.  He added that the decision was made after "extensive consultation" with a doctor.

We do know that it was not a staph infection.  Although the facility had experienced a recent staph outbreak.

Hilton’s original 45-day sentence has been reinstated in exchange for serving the time at home.  She already has 5 days under her belt.

If Paris violates any terms she will be taken to court immediately and thrown in jail for 90 days.

Asked whether she would be confined completely, Whitmore said: "There’s some fudge with that. If someone goes and gets their mail, if they’re 30 minutes outside, that’s okay. It’s a complicated electronic situation."

"Here’s my understanding: She’s confined to her home with an ankle bracelet. She cannot leave that facility," he said.

Katharine McPhee has come a long way since starring on American Idol.

I saw this picture of her and thought, ‘One year ago hardly anyone knew who this chick was, and here she is at a Marc Jacobs fashion show mingling with the stars and looking all JLo on our ass.’

The second thing I thought was, ‘That nose won’t last long.’

Sucked into the Tinseltown Machine, being molded and conformed only to emerge a shallow, snobbish shell of once was. It might not happen, but odds are against her. Pretty soon she won’t even remember where she is from.
