HEARST SYMPATHY FOR HILTON JAILMATES
LATEST: Ex-convict socialite PATTY HEARST was amused by reports she had offered PARIS HILTON advice prior to her jail time, insisting she really feels sorry for the reality TV star’s future cellmates.
Hearst was infamously jailed in 1976 after being found guilty of accompanying her kidnappers on a bank robbery - her seven year prison sentence was commuted when then-US President Jimmy Carter intervened after 22 months.
Hilton is set to start her 45 day sentence for violating her probation following her 2006 drink-driving arrest next month (Jun07).
Earlier this week (ends18May07), Hearst denied she was counselling Hilton following her conviction, with the hotel heiress’ mother Kathy claims it was Hearst’s sister Anne providing the support.
Hearst tells TMZ.com, "I must say that my heart goes out to the inmates of the Century Regional Detention Center. Forty-five days with Paris Hilton and the attendant publicity seems like cruel and unusual punishment to me. Perhaps they should be petitioning the governor (Arnold Schwarzenegger) for relief? "OK, that wasn’t nice. But seriously, if Paris really wants my advice, it’s this: Read Candy Spelling’s letter several times and take her advice to heart." Spelling wrote to Hilton through TMZ.com earlier this week, saying, "I am sorry you have been sentenced to jail. I can’t think of too much that would be worse. But since you let this happen, use the next couple of weeks… by looking around, realising that you are not as truly entitled as your money implies.
"You are a young woman who can add more to her community than establishing new definitions for infamy."
