Paris used pinkberry and shopping to cheer herself up this week, but we're not sure that's going to make her feel better about facing jail time. At least she's still got a few friends, one of whom has started an online petition to have Paris pardoned by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Paris herself even made a plea on her MySpace page for people to "sihn [sic]" the petition. This probably won't have any bearing on her case, especially since the Governor only steps in due to "extraordinary circumstances," which this is most certainly not.
To read the full petition, including an odd comparison between Paris and Richard Nixon, just read more
To: The Honorable Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
Paris Whitney Hilton is an American celebrity and socialite. She is an heiress to a share of the Hilton Hotel fortune, as well as to the real estate fortune of her father Richard Hilton. She provides hope for young people all over the U.S. and the world. She provides beauty and excitement to (most of) our otherwise mundane lives.
Hilton is notable for her leading roles on the FOX reality series The Simple Life and in the remake of the Vincent Price horror classic "House of Wax". In addition to her work as an actress, she has achieved some recognition as a model, celebrity spokesperson, singer, and writer.
As most of America now knows, Ms. Hilton was just charged in a Los Angeles court with DUI and sentenced to 45 days in Century Regional Detention Facility in California beginning on or before June 5, 2007.
We, the American public who support Paris, are shocked, dismayed and appalled by how Paris has been the person to be used as an example that Drunk Driving is wrong. We do not support drunk driving or DUI charges. Paris should have been sober. But she shouldn't go to jail, either.
As depicted on Friday night's episode "Nancy Grace" on Headline News (May 4, 2007), countless celebrities have been "slapped on the wrist" for similar incidents recently. Nick Nolte, Mel Gibson, Tracy Morgan, Wynonna Judd, to name a few, were arrested and never did a day in jail after their initial arrests for drunk driving /DUI /DWI charges. Rappers Busta Rhymes and Eve still walk free after both being arrested for the same charges as Ms. Hilton just this past week. Brandy's California Highway accident, although no proof of DUI was evidenced in her accident, resulting in the death of a young wife and mother in California, yet Brandy walks free as of today, never doing any time and A WOMAN HAS BEEN KILLED most likely due to her reckless driving!
Yet, Paris Hilton did not hurt, injure, or kill anyone or anything, and yet she must do jail time.
This petition is to ask Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to pardon Paris Hilton for her mistake. Please allow her to her return to her career and life. Everyone makes mistakes. She didn't hurt or kill anyone, and she has learned her lesson. She is sincere, apologetic, and full of regret for her actions as she explained tearfully to the Judge handling her case in court yesterday.She is distraught and understandably afraid.
WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT to save our Paris from ending up at the Century Regional Detention Facility! Please sign to tell The Honorable Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger of the State of California, to think about the welfare of this young woman who has made a mortal error and deserves a second chance like so many others in our great nation have been served with after a mistake they have made . If the late Former President Gerald Ford could find it in his heart to pardon the late Former President Richard Nixon after his mistake(s), we undeniably support Paris Hilton being pardoned for her honest mistake as well, and we hope and expect The Governor will understand and grant this unusual but important request in good faith to Ms. Paris Whitney Hilton.

Because drunk driving is as big a deal as the Watergate scandal... Paris is not that important and should deal with the consequences of her actions. I hate how celebs think they're above the law.
1Are people serious? That is the DUMBEST thing! WTF? Who would sign a petiton to pardon a traffic violation?
2I for one think it would be good for her.
3I could only read half of this..it's too ridiculous & crazy for words.
oh and
4That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever read. If she is pardoned I might move out of California bases on principal alone!
5no. are people this stupid. really???
6Paris needs to suck it up and do her time.
7****"Everything in life is only for now."-Avenue Q****
Oh yeah....I want to "sihn" it.....hahahaha she's so dumb
8its not like she knos that guy was even a president..lol
9This is the most moronic thing I have ever read. And it's pretty stupid that they totally narc on Brandy for reckless driving and what she did. At least Brandy didn't get a DUI. There were not charges brought up against Brandy.
WTF?! Did they have a mental patient write this trash?
"She gives the youth hope and brings beauty and excitement to our otherwise mundane lives."
Seriously?
10There is something wrong with our justice system if she gets a pardon! Like there isn't enough scandal in it anyways. Is there a petition I can sign to petition the petition wanting to keep her out of jail?
11I can't say it any better than the comments above. Lock her up and throw away the keys.
12"She provides hope for young people all over the U.S. and the world. She provides beauty and excitement to (most of) our otherwise mundane lives."
13SERIOUSLY WTF????
she "provides hope and beauty"???????????
LMAO
I say....
send her to jail right this moment for being so full of herself and stupid.
would be doing all of us a favor
signed,
Everybody
wow the fact that she thinks she's so important to escalate this to the governor........get over yourself Paris!
14It's unfathomable how anyone can possible feel sorry for this half wit that is Paris Hilton much less take time out of their own personal lives to help her evade her responsibilities. What's even more funny to me is that if this was some average Joe Blow from some rinky-dink town about to face punishment for the same charges, the whole nation would agree in unison for all of 5 seconds that justice was served and then never thought about again.
15what an idiot Who the hell starts a petition when their freinds get thrown in the clink for DUIS, seriously. Save that sh*t for important things. Its not like they are throwing Mother Theresa in jail for a DUI, everyone knows Paris parties and everyone knows that she gets in her car and drives after leaving the clubs. This just really makes me mad that she thinks shes so f-ing special that she shouldnt serve time for something that she is guilty of. When my roommate got thrown in jail for the same thing they would have LAUGHED at me if I walked in there with a petition asking them not to put her in jail so she can do what? Go out and party more? Oh ok. I really hope the dont let this dumb broad off.
16oh yeah...Im gonna start a petition petitioning this petition. even if she does serve the time (which im sure she will find some way to weasle out of it...I mean, shes got the two things men like, money and the awesome ability to be a huge wh*re. So im sure shell get someone to "listen" to her) she wont learn her lesson. People like that never do, because its never actually their fault.
17There is a link on trentsblogspot to a petition AGAINST her! That makes sense.
It is pretty insulting for her to say that the people of America leave "mundane" lives. Like she has any clue as to what other people go through...
18Better yet Im going to start a petition asking them to put her infront of a firing squad. Anyone with me? "I bring hope and beauty to peoples otherwise mundane lifes" is she serious with this? does she really think shes that important? She brings about as much hope and beauty to my "mundane" life as the oppossum that my dog killed last week and left half eatin on the back porch.

20This is pretty funny- petitioning she does go to lock up and not pardoned. Take a look at who has already signed it. someone is messing this up.
Reading this petition makes me
21Although, does she not realise, that by starting it off with 2 paragraphs about how she is in the public eye, she's actually giving a great reason why she should be the person used as the example of why it's wrong-which is what she's complaining about!!
I have to say, that lock-up Paris petition makes more of a good point than the free Paris one.
22'her work as an actress' that is funny. The mundane lives bit has been covered. Shocked, dismayed, and appalled, I am indeed. Her career and life. They are seperate? She made a mortal error and deserves a second chance? So many things wrong there, omg.
23The most intersting thing in this is that her middle name is Whitney.
Another website has a petition of the opposite stuff. I'll post a blog about it later.
This is such a load of crap. She is not being treated unfairly at all. She's not going to jail for DUI, she's going to jail for violating her probation (a fair penalty for the DUI) TWICE. She knew she wasn't to drive, she did it anyway, she deserves the punishment.
24She's also asking Ahnold to pardon her. b*tch please, DON'T DROP THE SOAP!
~Give it to me Larry ~
25It's about time a "celebrity" got the punishment they actually deserved. More judges should be like Judge Michael Sauer. He wasn't afraid to give Paris a swift kick in the pants (to be polite). Hopefully she will learn from this...and maybe this will be the start of other celebs getting treated like the rest of us "regular folk". NO MORE SPECIAL TREATMENT!!!
26Did any of those other people violate their probation as many times as Paris? Because *that* is what she's going to jail for...
This is pretty funny. It's almost as if the person writing it is making FUN of Paris. Who brings up House of Wax as a notable accomplishment?
And
@ sihn the petition. 
OMG. I shouldn't laugh. But, she's *making* this whole thing SO funny!!
27much like celebs are allowed into clubs and bars and served alcohol when theyre oh, 12!, and the rest of us have to get fake ids in college or even WORSE, wait til were 21!
28Anybody who signs that petition should go to jail with her. Who the damn does she think she is, send the b*tch to jail!!!
29Can we start a petition to keep Paris in the clink for 45 extra days?
30
31That is just hilarious!!
poor little rich girl, everyones picking on her - hey she's not above the law, she shouldn't have been drink driving and she should just deal with the consequences - that would be the mature thing to do (oh wait I can't believe I just said mature and Paris in the same sentence, what was I thinking?!)
32Paris, suck it up and be a woman for two seconds. You're going to jail, you know about it, you know when it will take place so take it and go on with life! Stop bellyaching! It's annoying already!
33I honestly hate this skank. She thinks she is so important.
34The louder she protests, the more people look forward to her going to jail. I'm sure the gov has nothing better to do then leap right on that pardon for Paris. Good to see her mom has reconsidered the issue of wasting tax payers money.
35She should be grateful it's ONLY 45 DAYS.
She got a 3 year probation, and when you violate the terms of your probation, the judge has the option to jail you for the entire time remaining. More than two years left on her original probation, and a lot of people DO get sent to jail for that time. So 45 days is getting off easy.
36OMG she is SUCH an ass*ole.
37love paris!

Paris and her "fans" are delusional.
39there is a counter-petition at i dont like you in that way. it has over 1000 signatures and has only been up for a few hours!
40What most people who start internet petitions seem to miss is that they have no bearing on government policy.
It's nothing more than an opinion poll, and a biased one at that, because there is no way to verify if the signers are constituents.
41I wish people would ignore her so she would fade away.
42yeah, but a petition, even if all those who sign are not voters, is a fair representation of the general population's wants. politicians want to meet these needs to get reelected. granted this isnt a california specific petition.
i just thought it was funny because one thats a few hours old is already doing better than one being personally endorsed by hilton.
43LOL WTF why would anybody sign that? If Arnold wants me to continue respecting him and liking him, he'll laugh right in Paris' face!
44where is the part that says she violated her probation and all the other people listed didnt?
45wouldnt it be good if we could hop a flight to anywhere,so long to this life, so much fun pretending, cause bad luck's never endin
When you do the crime, you do the time. She should pull her head out of her arse. She might then see things a lot clearer!
46PETITION??? Please!
4745 days is nothing.
omg. what a good way to start the day - i needed a bit of a laugh!!!! these people are sooo deluded!!! hahahaha i'm sorry I cannot stop laughing. Nice that they forgot to include a few details like that she had violated her probation twice!!!
...
48my fave line is: If the late Former President Gerald Ford could find it in his heart to pardon the late Former President Richard Nixon after his mistake(s), Holy heck she ain't that important!!!
i dnt give a crap about her, im not reading this ..
~Aint nobody love you like i love you..~
49hahahahaha ok?
