Citing an unspecified medical condition, she’s got the anklet and she’s on her way home! No WAY!!!! ANy guesses at the “medical condition”? I’m guessing she is having serious withdrawal from her sidekick. Or she’s allergic to orange.

AP Scoop:

Los Angeles- Paris Hilton was released from jail early Thursday due to an unspecified medical condition after serving only three days of a 23-day sentence. She was sent home with an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet and must remain there for 40 days, according to sheriffs spokesman Steve Whitmore.

Hilton checked into the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood on Sunday night to begin serving time for violating probation. The 26-year-old hotel heiress surrendered with little fanfare after a surprise appearance at the MTV Movie Awards, where she worked the red carpet in a strapless designer gown.

“I am trying to be strong right now,” she told reporters at the time. “I’m ready to face my sentence. Even though this is a really hard time, I have my family, my friends and my fans to support me, and that’s really helpful.”

Hilton was housed in the “special needs” unit of the 13-year-old jail, separate from most of its 2,200 inmates. The unit contains 12 two-person cells reserved for police officers, public officials, celebrities and other high-profile inmates. She didn’t have a cellmate.

After her first night in jail, Hilton’s lawyer, Richard A. Hutton, said she was doing well under the circumstances. “She’s using this time to reflect on her life, to see what she can do to make the world better and hopefully, in my opinion, to change the attitudes that exist about her among many people,” Hutton said after visiting Hilton.

When she was sentenced May 4, Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer ruled that she would not be allowed any work release, furloughs or use of an alternative jail or electronic monitoring in lieu of jail. Sheriff’s officials had said she would serve about 23 days of her 45 day sentence behind bars because of state rules allowing shorter sentences for good behavior.

Unbelievable. Comments?

Grrr!!!! Good behavior? They reduced a sentence she hadn’t even started serving yet for good behavior? What good behavior? Flouting the law? God damn it, I hate this country sometimes. I can’t wait to see her out partying with that ankle bracelet. She’ll find a way. No matter what law she violates, no one cares.

And the support of her fans? What fans? Fans for doing what?

My mind is in a spin, here.

Regardless of how annoying this whole thing is, I can honestly say I’m not surprised. We all knew she was a spoiled brat, and I’m surprised there are so many headlines about it. I think that the articles would be doing a lot more good if they used the picture of her from this website instead of the ones of her looking gorgeous: http://www.hollywoodzombies.com. I work with them and I feel so fortunate to be doing something good in this world of double standards and incongruities. Check out the other pics on the site… there are a bunch of other celebrities in this collection as well.
