I don't get the hate...
I blame the media for putting her in our face 24/7, and who's life wouldn't look like a shamble with such focused scrutiny?
I also think there is an ugly double standard based on her gender. Would we all shout 'slut' at a guy for partying and living it up?

Doesn't it bother anyone that first and foremost is that she still doesn't get it. This "I'm so clueless is NOT and act, somewhere deep down(well, maybe not deep down) she believes this is unfair..she really thinks she's above the law.

I don't think anyone here hates her, and I don't think it's OK to blame the media, they aren't forcing her to drive without a license or drunk, or smoke pot, if this was a guy I'd think he deserved to be in jail too.
She's not exactly famous for being a musician, or a an actor or being particularly clever, she famous for being famous and she got famous by putting herself in the limelight.
Allan, sorry if I didn't phrase my comments properly, I was referring to the community at large, not Fashionising, for the 'hate'.
The phrase 'Hollywood bad boy' (driving drunk, drug use/possession, prostitutes, as well as incidents with minors, gun charges and violence) has so much less stigma than any phrase I've heard to describe the lifestyle of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. You're not a social pandemic, you're R. Kelly or Colin Farrell.
1,000's of people probably smoked pot at Coachella. People break the law on the roads all the time. People knowingly take risks and live lifestyles I don't condone, but I really don't feel the need to sound a public crisis or be mean-spirited towards the person.
Put herself in the limelight? A not-quite-pretty-enough young thing from an old-money family, living the highlife (A-list parties, clubs, shows and friends) is story-worthy because pretty much everyone else in the world works harder than she does. There is a story to tell, simply because she's from an old-money family, and the media knows ruffling old-money feathers is going to sell papers.
She was living this life before we all knew who she was, and the world found a way to continue turning. I do think it's the media who is to blame because without the media, we wouldn't have seen a cell-phone picture of her privately smoking pot last weekend, or broadcasting moments from her sex life, or underneath her skirt as she climbed out of a car.
The media has a story to tell us every time she does something only because they have a guaranteed audience for the story who disapprove of her lifestyle. Without the guaranteed feed-back loop of 'outrage' to sell papers, the media would have no reason to broadcast any of those otherwise unexceptional moments from her life.
While I don't absolve her of the choices she has made, they certainly don't have a story when any of us have sex on camera or get pulled over by the police.
