Paris Hilton Should Rot in Cell

According to the LA Times, Paris Hilton will spend at least 23 days in jail for violating her probation by driving with a suspended license. She was originally sentenced for 45 days.

Will she get scooted out of the jail for overcrowding, as Michelle Rodriguez did not so long ago? Will she be able to appeal before she has to start her time in jail? Time will tell.

I do think jail time will be good for Paris. She can actually face a serious, if truncated, consequence for her actions and maybe end up acting less like a twit as a result.

The only reason I'm writing about this is because I accidentally got a gift subscription to Us Weekly, a magazine of such dubious quality that it makes People look like the New Yorker. I originally was meant to get a subscription to Premiere, which promptly went out of business. By default, the subscription flip-flopped over to Us Weekly. While I'm not happy about this, a free magazine is a free magazine and Paris is plasted over the pages as of late.

A pretty decent magazine I check out every once in a while is Empire, a British movie magazine packed with good writing and odd features. They recently had an article where two staff writers stayed up for two whole days doing nothing but watching Bond films. They do cost $10 an issue, which is pricey for a movie magazine, but at least each issue is of a reasonable length (~170 pages) and is printed on glossy paper.
