Paris Hilton’s plight once again dominated the public consciousness with 
the startling news from her parents, having just emerged from the visitation room in the jail within which she is being held, that Paris is cold and could potentially have a broken arm. They observed that she keeps rubbing it – apparently a sign that it is broken. A letter, hand written by Paris to a fan from jail, was leaked to the internet and it showed performative evidence of her gratitude and also showed that she signs her name with hearts as a dot on the letter “I”. Later in the week Paris spoke to Ryan Seacrest over the phone, live on his radio show and went to great pains to express her gratitude for the support she receives. It was rumoured that NBC were offering to pay Paris one million dollars to sit down for an interview with her upon her release and consequently Barbara Walters was furious. While all this was going on in the media sphere, one of Paris’ neighbours spoke to the press about how bad a pet owner Paris is, explaining that she had witnessed the death of a kitten because of Paris’ negligence.
