Paris Hilton belongs to 2007’s Celebrity Jailbirds
If there is one award that we cannot challenge, it is this one…..yes, Paris Hilton belongs to this year’s Celebrity Jailbirds but hey, she is not alone!
The most widely known 2007 jailbird is heiress Paris Hilton, who was sent to the slammer in June for violating the terms of a probation sentence imposed following a drunk driving plea. Hilton was sentenced to 45 days, was released after three days, and then sent back after an outcry over perceived preferential treatment. She spent three weeks behind bars before emerging amid a blaze of publicity, photos and interviews.
