Our gossip reporter was not able to reach Paris for comment before press time, but we checked with the Recruiting Animal [known to be a big fan] who had this to say:
Have you seen that girl wash a car? It would be criminal to have her in jail again and unable to do any more commercials like that. I’m gonna to set up a radio-thon on my talk show to help augment the $26 billion – I’m not sure that’s enough, I wanna to make sure that she stays out of jail.
Check back for more news as the story develops.
Thanks for the humor today.. this was so funny!! Good one Carl
Do you think $26 billion will be enough? Perhaps she should pre-emptively move out to Quatar with Michael Jackson…
