Paris Gets Her Point Across Through Barbara Walters

This morning on The View, Barbara Walters took a moment to discuss a rather interesting collect call she received yesterday afternoon -- from an incarcerated Paris Hilton. Obviously P didn't think her Saturday statement got her I'm a changed person message across enough. After telling Walters about dropping her appeal and the difficulties of the first few days in jail, she had this to say:


"I'm not the same person I was," she said. "I used to act dumb. It was an act. I am 26 years old, and that act is no longer cute. It is not who I am, nor do I want to be that person for the young girls who looked up to me. I know now that I can make a difference, that I have the power to do that. I have been thinking that I want to do different things when I am out of here. I have become much more spiritual. God has given me this new chance.

She went on to say that "God has released her." Wow, heavy stuff. She certainly has gone to great lengths to sound super spiritual, but I do wonder what it will be like when she gets out? Same old Paris?

Thanks to DListed for uploading the video!

    God has released her? Child he never had you in the first place. I think her sentence should be extended and she should be sent to a jail in thailand then we'll see how depressed she can get. Ugh she needs to STFU

    I'm surprised she'd call Barbara Walters....especially with what a disaster the view has become... Not the best media outlet IMHO, to try and get your point across...

    Oh please! Paris is so full of sh*t and full of herself. I can't believe Barbara even passes on that crap. So Paris felt liked a "caged animal"? Well DUH it is called JAIL! What a twit!

    I'm sorry but I will believe it when I see it. If she really has changed & becomes a better person & role model then that it GREAT...show me first though.

    She is all about PR, and manipulating. Just because you SAY you have changed doesn't mean you have. Actions speak louder than words.

    The world will be reminded of her true character when her Slander suit resumes (it was supposed to happen in June, but was delayed because of her current sentance).

    Apparently Barbara is close friends with Kathy Hilton that is why Paris called her.

    nyaradzom2001: on your comment.

    As for Paris, I think we all should just give her the benefit of the doubt. If she has found God that's great. hehehehe. I'm sorry I tried to keep a straight face while typing that but couldn't.

    Thanks Paris, I just spit out my morning coffee at my computer.

    *gag* I think it's all bullsh*t for more publicity... I mean, I'm sure she's already been offered a book deal so she's gotta keep people interested until it hits the shelves.

    Say what everyone will. If she is saying that this has made an impact on her- I hope it has.

    i know shes only been in there awhile but i hope its at least slightly true, when the simple life came over here i was kinda shocked at how fake they seemed, it didnt stop me watching it because it was pretty funny, but after a while it got embarrasing. and shes 26 :0

    Saying you have found God in jail is a bit of a cop out ( sorry if I offend anybody by saying that but it is true)

    she could have avoided this whole mess by just serving her original term.

    I agree with you, CestLaVie. I am not a Paris fan, but if she does grow up then good for her.

    I must say I agree with her Sat statement that it's ridiculous this has gotten so much media attention but I don't believe she is heartfelt when she says considering she is an attention hog. If she wanted the attention to focus away from her she'd just sit in the jail quietly focusing on HER actions... once again her mistakes not ours...

    I don't believe it for a second, which is unfortunate, because it's a great little speech.

    I hope she's true to her words and will change when she comes out of jail, I hope God has spoken to her. Only time will tell.

    I love Paris. Jusst cos I'm saying it doesn't mean it's true. This is Hollywood the greatest sleight of hand in the world, it's all about what you can see and hear so of course she's gonna be saying she found the Lord. Do you think she's gonna say,"When I get out of this sh**hole I'm gonna find that judge, stick my hammer-toed louboutin wearing foot up his a** and give his insides some style, then I'm gonna go to the dentist cos my teeth are killing me.

    Can Barbara suck up any more than she did? As for the speech, whatever, she give those everytime she's done something. Not buying it. Go away!

    Yeah Barbwa was really sticking up for Paris. I'm sorry but I think anyone is a fool if they actually believe anything that Paris says. Paris claims to be a virginal girl, that does do drugs or drinks or make racist comments!

    Well, Paris actions speak louder than words, we'll see.

    Wow, as excited as I was for Paris to go to Jail (both times), I got to say I'm pretty anxious to see what she's gonna do when she gets out. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say there's gonna be a lot less bible carrying in public.

    No one's said this, but does anyone remember a while back Paris said the same exact thing about how her being dumb is all "an act"? And how she was going to change that image? I think it was when she was on Letterman or Leno a few years back. Well, she didn't change then, and she won't change now.

    I'll believe it when I see it because words, like Paris herself, are cheap.

    I love how Joy isn't buying it.

    If she's found God and she's seen the error of her ways and she is a truly changed person, I'm very happy for her. We will see how she is from this point forward. Knowing her history and her family's history and the smart PR people around her, I'm not going to buy this until I see evidence of a true change. Until then, I'm going to continue thinking she's definitely getting her money's worth out of her "camp" because they're doing a great job of trying to reinvent her.

    Very good point lattegoodness. I remember her saying that.
    I personally think she's full of it. But, we will have to wait and see.

    She's the same old person. Things will change when she's back on the booze and dope.

    BORING! She's talking out of her butt. It's funny how when people get into trouble they try to back peddle to make themselves look better.

    Barbara is friends with Kathy Hilton. That is why Paris reached out to her and why Barbara seems to stick up for her.

    I hope she has a good solid support system to help her through it when she gets out. She is going to need it.

    This has got me thinking...What happened to Lohan's car accident? She left the scene of an accident, they found drugs in the car, etc. How come she isn't in jail or being tried right now? Will she have a court date coming up?

    I blame her parents mostly for the way she is. I saw a short blip on one of the news stations giving a brief history of the parents backgrounds and they said that Kathy Hilton has pushed her daughters into the spotlight (mostly Paris - no one was as interested in Nicky apparently) telling them to go to clubs to get themselves seen. Hopefully, Paris WILL use her celebrity, power and money to help those less fortunate than her when she gets out, as she said she would.
