American TV producers must be kicking themselves; they spent all that money making Paris Hilton look stupid on The Simple Life, when they could have got the same end result by just filming her drive around in a car.
Actually, we sort of wish Paris Hilton's drink-drive arrest a couple of weeks ago had been filmed for The Simple Life, since the footage of the arrest that we've seen lacked any form of amusing redneck violin sound effect played any time anyone raised their eyebrows, and it we weren't really feeling it as a result. Anyway, now Paris Hilton has formally been charged with drink-driving, which means the next series of The Simple Life might feature Paris Hilton hilariously messing up the process of making a shiv out of a toothbrush and a razor blade and then slashing the face of Nancy from cell F19.
Paris Hilton's luck with cars borders on the non-existent. If Paris Hilton isn't crashing her car then other people are crashing her car for her, or she's in someone else's car pissing all over the place. If anything, it's a surprise that Paris Hilton took so long to get arrested for driving about like a moron – but it finally happened earlier this month; Paris Hilton was busted for suspicion of drink-driving.
Watching Paris Hilton try to wriggle about looking to pass the blame or soften the punishment has been fun, too. So far, her arrest has been blamed on an unusually strong desire to go and buy a burger, and Paris Hilton has also been seen very indiscreetly giving $100 to a hobo, possibly to show everyone that she's a good person and not just the lazy-eyed drink-driving internet porn star that everyone thinks she is. Sadly, though, none of these tactics have worked, and Paris Hilton has been formally charged with drink-driving, as E! Online reports:
In a bid to make the streets of Hollywood safer one celebrity at a time, the Los Angeles city attorney formally charged Hilton with two misdemeanor counts Tuesday morning, stemming from her arrest earlier this month on suspicion of drunken driving. A spokesman for the city attorney's office says Hilton was rung up for driving under the influence and driving with a blood-alcohol level of 0.08 or above.
Now that she's been charged, Paris Hilton will be arraigned tomorrow, and possibly sentenced. The maximum Paris Hilton can expect is $1,000 fine and six months in jail, but it's expected that she'll just be hit with a driving ban, a small fine and an alcohol rehabilitation course.
Even the lightest slap on the wrist will mean the list of things that Paris Hilton is allowed will diminish rapidly – she'll have no car and no booze on top of her already existing no sex rule and the way she's selling no copies of her album. What's a girl to do? Well, apart from rehearse her role in that Mother Teresa movie, obviously.
