Just when I think she can’t do anything to lower my opinion of her, Paris Hilton manages to make herself look even more idiotic. Her admission/excuse for her recent legal problems is that she took legal advice from publicists instead of lawyers because she didn’t have the free time to consult her lawyers on the terms of her probation.

While she thinks that she “was treated unfairly and that the [45 day jail} sentence is both cruel and unwarranted”, she’s managed to parlay her troubles into even greater fame and fortune. The Daily Mail reports that “She will be shown wearing a zebra print outfit running away from models dressed as policemen on the front cover of June’s issue of Harper’s Bazaar.”

Of course.
