I tried to avoid Paris Hilton, but...

... when I got online to read some news this morning I was, of course, hit with her release from prison as a lead story.

I've never thought she was pretty really, but this photo of her is great. Maybe she needs to quit wearing makeup.

WOW! She does look great! I think I like her without her blue contacts. I hope she can turn it around like she says. Actions speak louder than words, so we'll see.

"Maybe?" Yes. She's twenty-what? There's no reason at all for her to spackle herself over like a fifty-year-old from the nineteen-fifties. I don't know who told her that looked good. She usually looks like a kid playing Halloween dressup, you can't even tell that she HAS skin.

Perhaps it's to cover up the marks of her more normal debaucheries.

I agree....she looks pretty without all the makeup (and with a genuine smile on her face).

[cumulus]

She looks even more like her mom in that picture!

Now she just needs to go away...

[sweeps]

That is exactly what I thought when I saw that picture! I think she looks young and fresh without all the crap on her face she usually wears and she's not doing her smirk and pose thing.

Seriously, the girl has never looked better.

I saw on the news recently (seriously, you can't avoid this Paris stuff) that her parents wanted to throw her a huge "coming-out" party, but Paris (or her handlers) said no because it would be sending the wrong message and look like she wasn't taking the situation seriously enough; she should be low-key for awhile. Sounds like excellent advice to me.

I thought so too. Now please make her go away.

I heard last night that she has hired the "crisis consultant" who represented Halle Berry after her car accident. That's probably where the advice is coming from. She's a very pretty young lady without all of the makeup. Why on earth would you want to hide it?:confused: I hope she gets her act together now.

[TKay]

Yeah, she does look better sans pout. Who knew?

[ccooney]

I think she looks great in that shot, too.
But wasn't she supposed to serve a term of 28 days (and that was the shortened version for good behavior). Has it been that long already? It certainly doesn't seem like it.

Maybe the lesson here is that if she's not out drinking and partying until dawn every day, then she doesn't need 10 lbs of makeup and she actually looks...fresh! cute! happy!

She showed up at 11:30pm, served 3 days, was let out 12:30am the first time and got 5 days of credit.

[Gracie]

She looks like a completely different person. I'm not sure I would have recognized her. Makeup can do that much?

So it turns out she's a pretty girl. Who knew?

I noticed on one of the gossip sites that she had some pretty hunky law enforcement in the background...

[KristiB]

She does look good.

You can run but you cannot hide from Paris
