Are Paris Hilton's Legal Woes All Part of Her Plan?

Paris Hilton's recent headlines reek of desperation. In the wake of the deluge of Lohan press for her substance abuse and subsequent incarceration one can't help but wonder whether Paris' elementary logic led her to believe a coke bust would be the only way to regain the spotlight.People are paying attention to Paris now for the first time in over a year. Since this woman is typically a well-oiled publicity machine it's hard to believe that any of this is an accident.
But Hilton's former spinmeister, now our own Naughty but Nice Rob Shuter says that while he believes Paris is desperate for attention, she is too lazy to plot something like this as a stunt.
"Knowing Paris I'm sure she doesn't mind that we are all talking about her and not Kim Kardashian for a change but her recent arrest was in no way a press stunt," Shuter says.
"She wouldn't give up a night clubbing for the cover of Time magazine. Paris is happy to be part of press stunts after she wakes up (so nothing before noon) but to ask her to work on getting herself back in the press when she would rather be playing is something she wouldn't even consider."
Paris has never shied from negative publicity in the past, starting with her sex tape that catapulted her to fame.
"The best known example of how Paris used victimization to her advantage stems back to the sex tape(s) that made her famous in the first place. No sooner did the original, unflattering black and white tape emerge on the black market - she quickly went back into the bedroom with her original victimizer Rick Solomom, dolled herself up to look sexy, adjusted the lighting and color to a more flattering hue, and gave a performance that ultimately transformed her into the savvy, sexy business partner of 'One Night In Paris' - one of the most profitable sex tapes of all time," says Mark Ebner, author of "Six Degrees of Paris Hilton."
"Like the original sex tape, getting caught with marijuana abroad and her recent bust for cocaine possession in Vegas didn't start as ploys for attention as much as they were characteristic examples of abject stupidity. But, what with her common criminal claim that the drugs in her possession weren't hers, she once again attempts to further her victim status in the public eye, and - when the Clark County court system ultimately gives her the slap-on-the-wrist probation treatment, she'll bubble up on Twitter - linking to photos of herself hugging lion cubs and patting impoverished African children on the head. Except this time, the Vegas court system may wise up to her shenanigans. I mean, they jailed OJ, didn't they?"
So whether she planned her arrest or not (she certainly was camera ready for that mug shot!) Paris will more likely than not spin this negative press to her advantage. And if she ends up serving the maximum sentence for felony possession of cocaine we can expect her to sell her story to the highest bidder as well as produce a new fragrance, possible called "Jailbait."
