Paris Hilton TakesResponsibility&;Not
May 7, 2007
Paris fired her long-suffering publicist Elliott Mintz over the weekend. No doubt her DUI-related sentencing was all his fault.
Usually, the best media strategy is to apologize and try to move forward. But unlike Prison Break star Lane Garrison, Hilton blames others for her conviction, saying that Mintz had told her she was permitted to drive for work-related reasons.
For his part, Mintz took the high road. &;I have nothing but love and respect for Paris and her family. Paris is a wonderful person and does not deserve the punishment that was handed down by the court. I only wish her my best.&;
Mintz&; public relations job description, apparently, was not only to keep her in the media spotlight, but to keep her out of jail. Now she&;ll have to find someone else to clean up after her.
