Absolutely NOT! I honestly cannot believe that anyone is actually considering this. I am sorry but I thought that going to jail was a punishment meant to teach criminals a lesson. By paying Paris Hilton 1 million dollars to tell her story to NBC, people would be encouraging her.

Why would you reward someone who has broken the law by paying them to talk about it? Sometime to me, it seems like celebrities do these things just so that they can raise their publicity and make more money. Now a days it seems as though society only care about celebrity news.

These celebrities just are not learning their lesson, most times breaking the law just gets them more money because of all the publicity that it gets them. As far as I am concerned, Paris Hilton should not get any money gains from her law breaking experience. As I mentioned before, this would be just as good as encouraging her to break the law again.

I also believe that the media plays a big role in encouraging celebrities to do things for the extra publicity. they give celebrities thousands of dollars, if not more, just to share their story, at that point you should just pay them for breaking the law because that is the end result.

Truthfully I believe that the laws need to be harsher for celebrities, they spend their lives in the spot light and as such they have a responsibility to set a good example. If they fail to follow the rule and break the law, our justice system needs to make an example out of them.
