Plenty of parties were happening in Las Vegas over the weekend - a popular stomping ground for Paris - but few people seemed to think Paris deserves a get out of jail free card.

At the Amp’d Mobile party at the Playboy Suite of the Palms Hotel, J-Lo’s ex husband Cris Judd said it was time Paris faced up to things: "You know what? You make your bed you sleep in it. You always have to keep on top of what is going on in your life. I don’t know if it’s deserving but, you know, you have to learn your lesson."

Professional skateboarder Ryan Allen Sheckler put all the drama down to her life in LA. "It’s bound to happen, everyone gets crazy here and there."

Singer Pink’s husband, motocross rider Carey Hart says Paris is getting exactly what she deserves. "I’m glad that someone is making an example of her, and I’m not coming down on her, but laws are laws, everyone’s got to abide by them, just because you have certain celebrity status, or certain financial stability you shouldn’t be allowed to get away with murder."

The hotel heiress was sentenced to 45 days in jail for violating the terms of her probation by driving with a suspended licence. An appeal has been filed.

Police see me as target - Paris - May 8 2007
Paris Hilton, who has been sentenced to 45 days in jail for violating her probation terms in an alcohol-related reckless driving case, believes police single her out because of who she is.

"I feel that I was treated unfairly and that the sentence is both cruel and unwarranted and I don’t deserve this," Paris told photographers assembled outside her home at the weekend.

She recently told Harper’s Bazaar magazine: "I get in more trouble just because of who I am."

"The cops do it all the time," she said. "They’ll just pull me over to hit on me. It’s really annoying. They’re like, ’What’s your phone number? Want to go to dinner?’

"They won’t even give me a ticket. They just pull me over, and the paparazzi, of course, take a picture. All the time. I have so many cops’ business cards."

Paris has rehired the publicist she dropped over the weekend after being sentenced to 45 days in jail. Elliot Mintz confirmed that he is again representing the 26-year-old, who was ordered to report to jail by June 5.

The hotel heiress, who parlayed her party lifestyle into worldwide fame, has called the sentence unfair, and her fans have posted a petition on the internet urging Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to pardon her.

A Schwarzenegger spokesman told The Associated Press it was "premature" for the governor to get involved.

Paris to appeal against jail term - May 8 2007
Paris Hilton is to appeal against her 45-day jail sentence imposed for a probation violation.

The 26-year-old heiress has been ordered by a Los Angeles judge to report to a county jail by June 5 for violating the terms of her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

The US socialite’s lawyers filed a notice with the court indicating their intent to appeal. The document is required before a formal appeal can be lodged.

Paris said she believed the sentence was unfair. "I feel that I was treated unfairly and that the sentence is both cruel and unwarranted and I don’t deserve this," she told photographers assembled outside her home.
