SEMI GIREBAL stands up for the Hilton heiress, Salman, John and all those who have been hounded…

"Woe to he throweth a fair celebrity in the fires of prison"---so said a once-sober Oscar Wilde.

And I so agree with that Wilde child of the West, so much so that I truly am against what happened to poor Paris, The Hilton heiress ,as you all should know her, was sentenced to 45 days in an overcrowded prison as cruel and unwarranted as that sounds. Can you imagine the horror of the silly dim-witted girl?

She's too used to the simple life of aloe Vera and crepes of shopping and socializing of Dolce and Gabbana to be cast into purgatory. And can you even begin to think of what will happen to that adorable Tinkerbell?

Without its mommy by its side? And for what? For driving without a license ? Excuse me but you don't need a license to be a celebrity, then why have one to drive a celebrity car?

Clearly Paris Hilton has been singled out because

of who she is and not because of the crime she committed. So what if she's beautiful stylish and perhaps a little naughty sluty? Why must celebrities suffer not only the intrusion into their lives but also the consequences of some of their misplaced reactions? Everyone makes a mistake so why not a celebrity? Instead of being supportive and understanding the powers that be decree almost instantly that these celebrities be given the harshest treatment may be not according to the law but at least horrific considering their unusual lifestyle. For God's Sake they actually have to dress themselves in jail without the help of a stylist!

But lets not get up in arms about Paris Hilton .After all she is an American with none of the richness of our culture and tradition. And yet in our nation celebrities are treated worse. Katrina's Salman may have hunted for sport but why send him to jail for it? Didn't our maharajas do it? And isn't Salman something of a maharaja himself? What about John Abraham that gorgeously sweet boy? How can you even arrest someone so beautiful?

Even that devilishly sexy Sanjay Dutt went to prison for quite a while and suffered for what he had done unknowingly. Something that even he didn't know was a crime. Why did he have to suffer for so long? Hasn't he suffered enough already? They all latched on to him just because he was a celebrity son and a star himself.Oh I'm sorry but I don't believe you can make an example of celebrities in such an outrageously disgusting manner!

When I was but a teenage flower girl frolicking all over the Grecian Island of Crete I shared quite a few experiences with people who'd been "in". They were of all shapes and sizes but not once did any of them strike me as evil .Well at least not in regular life but a bed chamber with me seductively dancing in the candle light can rouse even the meekest of men to become demons in action!

Committing a crime in bed with me is no sin and no law on God's good earth can convict me of it .But these men were not evil. And stars! They can NEVER be evil! They're up there on the screen, dying to be icons to all poor hapless masses who yearn for them and idolize them. You need celebrities to be upstanding symbols of success. How can you throw a symbol in Jail?

And especially one like Paris Hilton! She has given her naiveté if it were virtue. Free Paris I say and you will free the world. Viva La Paris! Viva La Celebrite! And Viva la Semi!
