The LA City Attorney released this statement today:
"Today I was extremely troubled to learn that the Sheriff's Department has decided to release Ms. Hilton from custody just three days after she was admitted to county jail.
My office was not advised of this action. We learned of it this morning through news reports, just like everyone else. Had we been provided with the proper notification, we would have opposed the decision on legal grounds.
News reports indicate that the Sheriff's Department released Ms. Hilton to house arrest due to a medical condition. This explanation is puzzling. Los Angeles county jail medical facilities are well-equipped to deal with medical situations involving inmates.
I am also concerned that the judicial process may have been improperly circumvented in this case. Ms. Hilton was incarcerated as a condition of her probation. As a result, the judge retained jurisdiction over her case and only the judge has the power to modify these conditions of probation. If Ms. Hilton's medical condition truly warranted a change in her circumstances, what should have happened is the following: Ms. Hilton's legal counsel should have filed an emergency application with the court and provided my office with the opportunity to respond, and then the court could have held a hearing on the matter to consider whether there was sufficient justification to change the terms of his original order. I have directed my criminal branch to immediately explore all possible legal options to ensure that the law is being applied equally and justly in this case.
If law enforcement officials are to enjoy the respect of those we are charged with protecting, we cannot tolerate a two-tiered jail system where the rich and powerful receive special treatment. We must ensure that in our city, in our nation, and under our Constitution, justice remains blind.
Delgadillo, the highest-ranking Latino to hold a city-wide office in 100 years, grew up on LA's east side (which is basically what you get if you take everything about Beverly Hills and invert it), and attending public schools in LA before earning a full scholarship to Harvard University. I'm sure he's had plenty of time to think about why the Paris Hiltons of the world ought to serve out their full jail sentences. I'm also sure he has his eye set on a bigger prize than the LA City Attorney's office, and he sees this as a good way to raise his profile and garner support -- I'm totally okay with that -- and I truly can't think of a more glorious pawn in this scheme than one Paris Whitney Hilton. />The LA City Attorney released this statement today:

You can read the full petition from the LA City Attorney's office here.
Here are the key points:
1) Paris is earning credit against her 45 days every day she is under electronic surveillance at home. So we'll never get those Paris-in-jail days back. The petition urges again and again that time is of the essence here, which is probably how they got a 9 a.m. court date for tomorrow.
2) The LA City Attorney's office was not notified about Hilton's early release, and they are fucking pissed about that.
3) The sentencing initially given by the court, both orally and in writing, stated that Paris should not have the option of being under house arrest for any of her time.
4) The LA City Attorney says that the Sheriff's Department should be held in contempt of court for releasing Hilton early and violating the judge's orders.
HELLS YEAH.
PUT THE FUCKING SHERIFF IN JAIL TOO. />You can read the full petition from the LA City Attorney's office here.

If you're awake, you probably already know that Paris Hilton was released from jail early this morning due to "medical reasons." (You can read the press release from the LA Sheriff's Dept here.)
Lars speculates that the "medical reasons" are because she wasn't eating, which sounds like as good a guess as any.
However, publicist Jonathan Jaxson claims to have the real story straight from the Hilton family:
Paris was apparently suffering from severe panic attacks and depression, where she even became suicidal. Towards the end of her stay, Paris began, what others call, a nervous breakdown. Her psychiatrist was so concerned for her well being they did everything possible to get her to a place in which was comfortable for her and her health.
This isn't exactly consistent with TMZ's story that Paris was beginning to adjust to jail life, but it's possible her improved attitude was due to her knowledge that she'd be getting out soon.
Regardless, none of these seem like acceptable reasons for her to be let out of jail. Poor baby, she doesn't like it there. She's not eating and she's crying a whole lot. We need to let her out.
Nobody likes jail. That's why it's a punishment.
Sigh.

Despite enviably having the American Idol finale lead-in for its premiere, Fox's On the Lot is averaging a mere 3.1 million viewers in its ever-changing time slot. I know my buddy MK over at popbytes likes the show, but I just couldn't get into it. They keep switching up hosts (Is it Chelsea Handler? Is it Adrianna Costa? Any chance of Rosie O'Donnell next week?) and judges (I was initially promised a weekly Brett Ratner!) and formats (Weren't they making a film in teams at one point?). There's such a lack of consistency on the show that I honestly couldn't even figure out whose picture I was supposed to use at the top of this post. Do not confuse the bloggers, Fox. We're not big on solving puzzles -- that's why we have commenters.
And, frankly, there's a very good reason why there's not a large market for short films. Audiences don't want to tune in to watch them for an hour. I'm not sure how that little tidbit didn't arise in initial testing for the show. Anyway, if you are, against all odds, finding yourself a fan of the show, don't get too attached. I doubt it'll even make it to the end of the season, and none of these kids will get a job at DreamWorks, which is probably just the way Steven Spielberg wants it, anyway.
Thanks to Defamer for the heads-up. />Despite enviably having the American Idol finale lead-in for its premiere, Fox's On the Lot is averaging a mere 3.1 million viewers in its ever-changing time slot.

Sobriety hasn't done much for Courtney Love's tone-deafness, but it's still kinda cool to watch her perform her new single, Pacific Coast Highway. [popbytes]
Kate Bosworth is totally making out with Liv Tyler. I know you don't remember who Liv Tyler is -- don't worry, no one does -- but the pics should jog your memory. [SOW]

I've been sad today -- a little bit angry, really -- and I didn't really understand why until I heard that Paris Hilton might actually have to go back to jail, and suddenly I felt a lot better.
Paris will have to appear in court at 9 a.m. tomorrow, after Judge Michael Sauer, who initially sentenced her to jail, ordered her to. The city attorney Rocky Delgadillo filed a petition late Thursday afternoon questioning if Sheriff Lee Baca should be held in contempt of court for releasing her ear...
Britney Spears youngest tot hasn't been photographed in public -- at least not clearly -- since his September 2006 birth, leading many to wonder if there was something wrong with the young Federline.

Yay! It appears Miss Kate Bosworth is continuing to eat like a normal human being, and she looks fantastic! It's great to keep seeing pictures of her looking healthy and happy.
Kate showed up at the Whitney Museum's Art Party on Wednesday night, along with many other celebs. Sarah Michelle Gellar and hottie hubby Freddy Prinze Jr were there, along with Rosario Dawson, ousted Top Chef host Katie Lee Joel, who may or may not be leaving her grandpa husband Billy, Ivanka Trump, and the always fabu...
Once your film has conquered North America in all its arguably homoerotic glory, what's next? Where can you bring this film where the violent nature, the man-love, and the fact that it was released in the U.S. a full three months ago will all be deeply appreciated?
Tokyo, baby.
Gerard Butler and his penis were on-hand at the Meiji Shrine to premiere the film in Japan. Enjoy.
