FROM The Simple Life to The Prison Life.

Madame Tussauds New York has dressed the wax figure of Paris Hilton in a black and white striped jailbird suit. This will be the wax Paris’ uniform for the duration of the real-life socialite’s prison sentence. Paris has been sentenced to 45 days for violating the terms of her probation by driving with a suspended license, but could be released in 23 days for good behavior. Isn’t she so hawt, heh

So, OK, a lot of people really, really hate Paris, but though I do find her somewhat annoying and overexposed, for some reason I still have a soft spot for her. I dunno, she’s cute. She’s a character. And she’s one of those celebrities that people love to hate. People can’t stand her, but somehow they still find themselves reading stuff about her. How about you, what do you like about Paris? And what do you hate about her?

And how about the American justice system, huh? Could you imagine a celebrity like Paris having to spend jail time in the Philippines something like this? Heck, famous or powerful people here get away with much, much worse.

Anyway, here’s a booking photo of Paris Hilton provided by the Sheriff’s headquarters Bureau after she entered the Century Regional Detention Facility of Lynwood, California.

Here are pics from happier times.

Plus some video clips form her official YouTube channel.
