It's not quite the bucket of cold water that was Candy Spelling's take on the controversy, but at least she's backed away from claiming the sentence was merely a judge's crass grab at fame (or whatever that autograph comment was supposed to mean), and has begun to seek out the Swarovski-crystal-studded lining to this trying ordeal. For if the legions of impressionable pre-teen Paris-ettes are to take anything positive from her daughter's martyrdom--which, Access Hollywood is reporting, will involve a minimum of 23 days behind bars--it will be the lesson that one should never, ever rely on your diminutive, sycophantic publicist to get you off, no matter how many times he reassures you that, "Trust me: The name Hilton can still move mountains in this town. Now go shopping or to the Stoli Hotel, and let me do the heavy lifting."
