Why is CNN carrying live coverage of Paris Hilton’s trip back to jail? Why do people even care about her life and her problems? This is just stupid!

ummm welll,, ummm,,, i really dont know good question……
She’s rich and “hot”. That’s all that matters anymore.
I feel they let OJ go and he was guilty then they just need to leave Paris alone. I personally don’t care for the spoiled brat and have better thing to listen to then every channel covering this crap. Now they want to give a half million to who ever gets an inside picture how stupid I agree…..
Oh I live in the LA area and its UNREAL here….its like OJ all over again. This is sooooo disgusting. The only way to make it stop is when people stop watching and buying those magazines. Its a insult to people who really like news.
How about some better Iraq coverage? Or some real stories on soliders fighting this crappy war? Or some attention to global issues like Africa? Oh it makes me sick I tell ya!! And frustrated!
I agree, there are more important issues to be covered.
because she is rich.
I think it’s because the world is such a scary place right now, that people are just numbing out by watching something funny.
Because people have nothing better to do with there time and energy than to focus on these pitiful celebrities…. I couldn’t take the whole Anna Nicole story never mind Paris Hilton… They should lock her in jail and throw away the key…. She’s a spoiled brat who has no conscience about anything she does and she will never change. Lindsay, Britney, Paris, Nicole… are these the role models my children have to look up to?… Poor world!
We should try to focus on the important things in life and in the world and try to protect this country as best we should instead of focusing on Paris Hilton!….
ugh i dont know! but i hateeee it! im SOOOOOOOOOO sick of this! our media is way blown over these days! pop culture to this and pop culture to that…its basically biased and not even worth being on television like the other important events that are occuring nationally!
its a collaboration with the US government to keep everyone preoccupied and distracted with stupid eye garbage while they keep up theyre diabolical scheme of a hostile takeover in the middle east for petroleum extraction.
We don’t like Paris Hilton.
She is a celebrity
that’s what celebrity’s do best
We, as a society, have helped create these spoiled little monsters- she is not newsworthy in the sense that what’s going on in her life is important to the world- but she is newsworthy in the sense that we are talking about her right now- if everyone was genuinely disinterested instead of saying they are disinterested while continuing to buy the magazines – tune it the “entertainment news” shows- and continue to keep her (and the others) as primary taopics of conversation on the web- that’s what we are telling the news outlets that we want to see-
Maybe this EXTREMELY overblown overcoverage of this one rich girls exploits and subsequent consequences will finally make some people sick of it and truly become disinterested- maybe some folks will develop an interest in things other than celebrity-
We are all guilty of it to some degree- I’m answering the “Paris Hilton” question right now instead of the global warming- iraq war- north korea-immigration-election in 08-economy in a slump questions right now- aren’t I?
1.well because Paris Hilto international… is international.
2.cnn has nothing to talk about
yea i dont get it either… every day normal people dont make the news when they gets arrested. why does she?? cause she has more money?? so that makes her more important??? NO.. who the heck cares.. bee-atch go to jail and do your time!!!!!

she is a socialite, as near to royalty as america can produce.
