When you're sitting back in your overstuffed leather armchair in the evening time, trying to decide between Inside the Actors Studio and another Law & Order rerun, and your mind floats effortlessly to the day's topics at hand, suddenly falling upon Paris Hilton and her DUI sentencing, whose judgment do you immediately turn to but Julia Allison's?

Good choice, fella, 'cause that's who's dishing it out on Fox News these days.

Blogs Julia:

Being a friendly contrarian by nature, I took Paris' side. I think I'm literally the ONLY ONE (according to a TMZ poll, 96% believe Paris "got what she deserved.") Look - of course it's not okay for her to drive drunk - jesus, I get upset when people drive seatbelt-less (Corzine, you hear that??), but the unbridled glee with which the nation is celebrating her punishment strikes me as a little ... unsettling.

In general, I think criticism of Paris tends to be unwarranted, due mainly to it devolving into a debate about her sexuality or purported promiscuity, which, in my opinion, should be completely off limits for judgment. She can sleep with the entire NFL and several Greek islands, and I'm not really sure why that gives anyone the right to abhor her the way they do. My thinking was - she's rich, stunning, dresses like a Barbie, and loves attention - I thought I smelled an unhealthy dose of jealousy and said as much.

It's doubly as wretched when the sympathizers of the outwardly beautiful are, themselves, outwardly beautiful.
