Back of the Class

There’s been quite a bit happening down in Hollywood lately and I was determined not to write about Paris Hilton, but after today’s news, I felt I must comment on it.

The woman is out of jail after just 3 days!

Latest reports are that she was released due to a medical condition and will now serve her full 45 day term under house arrest with an ankle bracelet. I say she should rather do community service and see what the Simple Life is really like.

Meanwhile her friend Lindsay Lohan is in drug rehab and Nicole Richie told David Letterman this week that she hope she doesn’t go to jail, after Richie, the 25-year-old daughter of pop singer Lionel Richie, pleaded not guilty in February to driving under the influence. Her fate is still to be determined.

Rosie left The View after a major fight with co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck. At the recent launch for her new book “Celebrity Detox,” she told the audience her publicist “orchestrated that whole publicity thing just to get more attention for the book … brazenly calling up the other hosts, telling them to incite me.”
