A Mum's Advice to Paris.....
May 14th 2007 10:19
This Mothers Day, it wasn't Paris Hilton's mum who was giving her advice (eh, surely Paris spending 45 days in the slammer is enough of a Mothers Day gift for Kathy Hilton). No, it was Candy Spelling who wants to offer some practical advice to our favourite embattled heirhead.
In an open letter to TMZ.com, Candy offers some advice to Paris.
Dear Paris,
As someone who has known you for most of your life, I pay special attention to your press coverage. (Apparently, I'm not alone, based on the responses every word about you creates on TMZ.com and elsewhere.)
Paris, I'm very worried about you. The last week has not only been an obvious roller-coaster for you emotionally, but your strategy went from blaming employees and stating silly excuses like, "I don't read," to your new lawyer's tactic to have you sound mature and take some responsibility. In between, the paparazzi continue to follow you shopping and taking self-defense classes (to protect yourself in jail?), and some over-zealous friends staged embarrassing protests (three people?), and wasted taxpayer funds with a petition to pardon you.
People who are rich and famous are not treated like "regular" people, even though you claim to now be just like everyone else. In most situations, your privileged life works to your benefit. You have opportunities, access and resources like few others; and frankly, you can get away with more bad behavior and excuses than most people could even imagine. However, as the real possibility of jail approaches -- whether it's 21 days or 45 or whatever the latest report is -- it's time to get real. It's time to find "a Paris" somewhere between "heiress" and a character on "The Simple Life." I know she's there, and I know she can be a good citizen and maturely face consequences other people would have to face under the same circumstances.
I am sorry you have been sentenced to jail. I can't think of too much that would be worse. But since you let this happen, use the next couple of weeks preparing not only by publicly learning to fight (not a good message to fellow inmates), but by looking around, realizing that you are not as truly entitled as your money implies. You are a young woman who can add more to her community than establishing new definitions for infamy.
Best,
Candy Spelling
Goodness!! Now, firstly, I have to say that (surprisingly) Candy is right on the money in her advice to Paris. 'Grow up girlfriend'...........but it's hard to take swallow advice dished out from the woman who raised this freak
Also, why is Candy sending an open letter to TMZ? If she's known Paris for so long, surely she could just give her advice herself? Sounds to me like Candy Spelling has a reality tv show in the wings and is trying to get herself some free publicity!! (oh crikey, being on holiday hasn't made me any less bitchy has it???).
Now, Patty Hearst is getting in on the act (if you don't know who Patty Hearst is.....you should). Patty has just sent her own open letter to TMZ in response to the rumours that she has been giving advice about how to survive in the slammer to Paris. Patty has this to say.
Dear TMZ,
Imagine my surprise upon learning of the "advice" I had been giving Paris Hilton. In spite of reports to the contrary, I can assure you that I have not had any contact with Paris (or any member of her family) regarding her upcoming jail time, or any other matter. Like Governor Schwarzenegger, I have had many more important things to think about.
However, since I'm thinking about it now, I must say that my heart goes out to the inmates of the Century Regional Detention Center. Forty-five days with Paris Hilton and the attendant publicity seems like cruel and unusual punishment to me. Perhaps THEY should be petitioning the Governor for relief?
OK, that wasn't nice. But seriously, if Paris really wants my advice it's this: Read Candy Spelling's letter several times and take her advice to heart.
