Paris Hilton was in the fetal position

In an interview with People magazine, Paris Hilton explains the medical condition that led to her house arrest. She says:

“I was basically in the fetal position, basically in hysterics. The doctors were observing me while I was there. They explained to Sheriff [Lee] Baca that they thought I was having severe anxiety, panic attacks, claustrophobia.”

And on people who doubt that she’ll change after her jail experience, she says:

“They’re wrong and they don’t know me. I’m a good person. I’m a compassionate person. I have a big heart. I’m sincere, and they’ll see.”

Meanwhile, Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca is saying Paris was about to die and that he was trying to save her life by letting her out of jail. He says:

“Our doctors said we had no solution to Hilton’s medical problems. None. As a sheriff in this county, I’m not going to let any inmate die in this jail. What’s worth more: a person spending time in a county jail for driving on a suspended license or a person losing her life? She was at a place where we couldn’t fix whatever that medical problem was with the resources we have. We knew this problem was not going to get better. We were placed in a very unusual and awkward position with Ms. Hilton. … Everyone who goes in to serve county jail time is early released. If Ms. Hilton got preferential treatment, it’s that she spent more time in the county jail than the average inmate.”

Because a lot of people die every year from claustrophobia. I think last year it was almost one. How is this guy an actual Los Angeles County Sheriff? He sounds like he should be chasing around cartoon bears for a living.


  1. I’ll definitely have to try that if I’m ever arrested again…

  2. boze

    crazy how white she is without her daily spray tan..

  3. wiinja

    you mean the “fecal” position

  4. you guys are fast, I though I would be first for a change. I think that there is a huge misconception about paris hilton. From her show the simple life, she does seem compassionate and caring, she might be overly privaleged and that makes her an easy target for attack and scruteny, but I think she gets a lot of unneccessary crap.

  5. Jane_Says

    Duh. I mean, she’s totally claustrophobic. It’s evident by the fact that she never goes to those hip, super crowded Hollywood night clubs.

  6. Buster

    How did she survive after she was put right back in? She should be dead!!!!

  7. Guy

    Looking ok there Paris, keep it up

  8. nicole

    Did anybody else see the footage of her playing with the family dog after her release? She looked like a retarded patient at a mental home. I’m seriously starting to think she has the mental capacity of a 2 year old, although that might be giving her too much credit.

  9. leelee

    Baca is an idiot that has been taking bribes since he started… soo not being relected next time around!!

  10. Courtney

    Man, I wish that Shanna chick had finished her off. This girl needs an ass kicking like no other. Didn’t Oscar teach her how to box?

  11. Kayla

    Death from claustrophobia and anxiety? I should have died like…8 years ago. Why don’t more people die in college dorms?

    And why the hell are her hands bluish gray?
    Oh right…the death setting in.

  12. KJ

    You know, I’m not a big blog/comment poster, but I have to say that — for once — Paris doesn’t look like a pirate hooker. She’s actually a very pretty girl without all that crap on her face.

  13. leelee

    PS Paris without makeup is beautiful

  14. Assbestos

    And you’re all a bunch of unique snowflakes too. Eessh. Your don’t think her coming out without her classic blue contacts might be EVEN MORE image manipulation? I for one forgive her for being a reckless, life endangering, pampered, piece of socialite trash who’s only contribution to this world has been shit and CO2.

  15. White Trash Roots

    She looks like typical white trash without makeup. That’s why all you hicks like her this way.

  16. KJ

    She’ll always be an image manipulator. Now, just a better looking one.

  17. Jimbo

    I am so proud of Paris. She did her time like a man. She has learned from her mistakes and now wants to be a better person. She wants to help sick people and to read to the retarded. It must have been just horrible for her to be locked up in such a small cell for the last 23 days. I think we should declare this a “No Rip On Paris Day”. We should just share all of our positive memory of her today. Maybe the Superficial will make this the last post of the day so we can have hundreds of positive stories about Paris

  18. hoozn

    seriously…whats wrong with her hands?

  19. Binky

    I hate to admit it either, but that’s the best I’ve seen her look.
    Maybe she found the ‘girl-girl’ thing in prison rewarding ?
    Or I suppose getting out of jail ranks right up there as a positive experience.

  20. Italian Stallion

    If laying there in a fetal position is a medical condition, then all the women I’ve been with have this condition. It always seems to happen after sex though. I always thought I just ruptured a spleen or something. I guess that will teach them for telling me “Get in my belly”………..

  21. leelee

    #13. Kayla- Well I have claustrophobia so when I went to college I got my own apartment. See? Problem solved. Sheriff Baca would have been so proud.
    Sheriff Lee Baca for president!

  22. troublegirl843

    dang, all you freaks are like really slow at this game aren’t ya.
    She would’t die from the “claustrophobia and anxiety” – these symptoms would lead to her suicide.
    She was suicidal while in jail. freakin MSN was reporting that…
    That a way to stay on top of the story fish.

  23. yolatengo

    first, there is NO way she lost weight. looks more like she may have gained a bit.
    second, no makeup??? are you guys kidding me? she has false eyelashes, foundation, eyeliner and eyeshadow.
    jeesh, Paris doesn’t have to teach an Annex class on branding….the public is just full of fucking idiots.
    we have noone to blame but ther general public for the parade of fucking vacuous ‘celebreties’ currently infesting the media.
    k. rant over

  24. I seriously hate that girl.
    I can’t stand she is in every news I watch.

  25. Courtney

    Wait, are some of you like, being supportive because she doesn’t look like shit? I know the site’s about being superficial, but that’s pretty pathetic.

  26. Andrea

    Paris is full of crap! She has not changed and there is a video clip from just yesterday to prove it! She is back to her old self! She got drunk and was acting totally stupid just yesterday! She does not have a Psychiatric problem she was having alcohol withdrawls in jail! Check out the video for yourself!

    If P was in jail for 25 days, her natural, darker hair should’ve grown about a quarter of an inch. Where are her roots? How hard could girlfriend have had it when she was able to get her roots touched up before leaving jail?

  28. I died of hoboiphobia one time.

    HAVE YOU SEEN BERN’S BOOBS, TODAY?

    I still feel like this is Brini Maxwell and the Hiltons adopted him/her/it.

  30. Wait a minute FRIST, arrested? When was this and where was I with the Crisco?!

  31. Hey FRIST!!! Did you like that. I was wondering if anyone would get it.:)

  32. It was back in like 1990 or so. Yep, I been in jail. But I got my very own cell. No roomies. Thank god, cause this one woman I was handcuffed to wanted to kill me. She was very drunk.

  33. firepail

    Um… she looks like Carson Kressley.

  34. Oh, Jimbo, I got your sarcasm, it was either that or a troll

  35. Sweet! was it for kicking Corey Haim’s ass? Thats my dream…

  36. Yourfairytale

    I get so tired of this crap from her. She has no idea what it’s like to truly suffer. I find her comments very personally offensive as someone who actually does have panic attacks and anxiety problems. She is such a spoiled little brat.

    And someone needs to tell her that actions speak louder than words. If she is so nice and has such a big heart, why has she never done anything nice?

  37. BTW FRIST, i dont think Ive ever seen Bauhaus and John Mayer in such close proximity before in all my life….(re: your myspace page.)

  38. Jimbo

    Hey Fishstick! How are you doing? Any new DIY videos?

  39. Jimbo – not yet, ran out of tape. :(
    still figuring out the suspended-from-the- ceiling + velcro + whisky scenario in my head. will keep you posted though ;)

  40. The Eyes

    WOW………………….

    WHAT A 7 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    LOL… IF I saw her OUT………..
    AND she WASN’T FAMOUS……………………
    I WOULD NOT BUY HER A DRINK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    SPOILED ROTTEN BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  41. eespin88

    what’s wrong with her hands? o.O

  42. No it all me. I think I have talked my troll out of trolling me. I have a really funny e-mail I need to forward to you

  43. Jimbo

    I am there if you need a camera man

  44. lol – awesome link Jimbo. New booby post!!!!

  45. Bugman4045

    “She was at a place where we couldn’t fix whatever that medical problem was with the resources we have. We knew this problem was not going to get better.”
    Is this all you have to do to get out of jail in LA?
    Baca should be forced to sleep with Paris…that would teach him.

  46. Kamiki

    Oh does this mean all inmates who get panic attacks and clautrophobia (esp fake ones) will get let of jail free? Will it feck, I still think shes sick unless she stops all the self promo shit and goes and rescues Orang Utans in Borneo I will never believe this skank ho.
