HOLLYWOOD – Paris Hilton has become more “spiritual" since being in jail and plans to promote a to-be-determined charity when she is released from jail according to Barbara Walters. Hilton told Walters she had not looked in a mirror during her incarceration and that she has changed.She said ‘I’m not the same person I was. I know now that I can make a difference, that I have the power to do that. I want to do different things when I’m out of here . . . I used to act dumb, it was an act and that act is no longer cute. It is not who I am nor do I want to be that person for the young girls who looked up to me,’” Walters recounted. “She said ‘I’m 26 years old now and it is a different time.’ She said ‘I have become much more spiritual. God has given me this new chance.’” [She said] ‘my spirit or soul did not like the way I was being seen and that is why I was sent to jail. ‘God,’ she said, ‘has released me.’” That comment brought more chuckles from the audience and a barb from co-host Joy Behar who suggested God may have released Hilton, but “the judge hasn’t.”Among other things that have change since Hilton’s jail experience began? According to Walters, Hilton has said she is no longer concerned about appearances.“She also said ‘my face is very dry. There’s no cream here but it doesn’t matter. I am not that superficial girl. I haven’t looked in a mirror since I got here,” Walters recounted. “She said ‘my purpose in life is to be where I am however, usually in a situation like mine, a person only serves ten percent of their time. I however already served thirty percent of my time.’”Hilton is expected to be released in just over two weeks time.

When did God get lost? It's a good thing she found Him, I guess.
Everyone finds God in jail and on their deathbeds.
What else would you expect her to say.
And soldiers find God in time of war.
Some of these confessions stick some (probably most) do not.
I pray that maybe she has found God and will change for the better. I think her Grandfather who started the Hilton dynasty was a Christian; if that is what she is talking about. Only God knows our hearts and is the ultimate judge.
Of course we will be known by our fruit. Who knows; like Zacchaeus, another rich person in the Bible, she may truly have repented.
I think a lot of posts are harsh; and I bet a lot of the people posting these harsh responses would also ask someone that is a Christian who do they think they are to judge their moral choices. I would call that hypocrisy.
At least give the girl a chance to prove herself when she gets out. Maybe it was a wake-up call needed for an immature, spoiled girl. I am sure we will see.
I honestly agree with most of you that she probably will fail miserably when she is out and go back to what she is doing. But I am praying that we are all wrong; for her sake.
Accountability is something we ought to teach our children, because they don't learn it on their own. It's obviously something she never learned, and for that part of this story, we can not blame her. It's what she does with this lesson, here and now, that is important.
I also think it is hilarious that Giraldo and Al Sharpton have taken her as a cause: Discrimination against Celebrities! I would have to say that celebrities more often get a much lighter sentence for their crimes and this judge was being honorable for giving her the sentence that was due her. This was not a first time offense. She was sentenced for violation of parole. She was given a chance and chose to ignore the conditions.
Your right Donald we will know one another by our fruits!
We should pray for her and her family. The burden isn't just on her but on us christians too!
LOL
I didn't know He was lost.
If she found God, great. If she learned anything, that is why she was sent there, good.
What I want to know is when I can turn on the TV and not hear about her anymore?!?!?
However, C'mon folks, Paris Hilton isn't worth all this discussion. She really isn't.
BTW, I just googled "illegal immigration" and got 5,210,000 hits, but 88,500,000 on "Paris Hilton." Where is this countries head at?
It is good to talk about God in times like that...
She is being a nice WOMAN now...
B. Everyone has a spirit that opperates within their context, when that context changes so must the person's funtioning. No matter where they start or where they end up, change is change.
Reasons The Hilton conversion gives me pause:
1. She admits to playing dumb. This can be a difficult admission for someone who must then live up to the expectations held for a reconstructed dunce.
2.She sits in PRISON and claims that God has set her free. This is a contradiction (insight?) echoed in many conversion experiences, one that she follows up by saying she's less concerned with appearances, consistent with someone who claims freedom in bondage.
3.She has a carefully built image. It may at first look haphazard but I suspect method to the madness. We've had heiresses before, even spoiled narcissistic ones who make the party circuit. But to my knowledge she is the first to build a virtual empire out of going to parties and being ditzy. I mean, she's famous for being a celebrity and maintains her celebrity on the weight of her fame. That is a, perhaps not delicate, but at least impressive feat of cynical post modern media calibration. I suspect she has had an engineering role in most of the events of her life and will not play so dramatic a card as spirituality without thoughts on how to turn it to her advantage. Even if it's just to make charity fundraising the next jet-set Hollywood social craze. Sincere or not, I would not consider it inconsequential.
