Barbara Walters has supported Paris Hilton and now the family of Paris Hilton - Nicky Hilton and Kathy Hilton, were with Babs on Hollywood Boulevard helping Walters celebrate getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Walters earlier mentioned that she might give Paris a guest hosting spot on 'The View.' Before that Barbara Walters landed the first interview with the hotel heiress.
Paris Hilton called The View host collect and she spoke about it the next day on the show. Big ratings and a big thank you. So Nicky Hilton and Kathy Hilton were on Hollywood Blvd. standing behind Walters to support their newest (or oldest) BFF.
But it wasn't all good for the family. According to People magazine Kathy Hilton and daughter Nicky are still reeling from their visits to Paris in jail.
In fact the sight of Paris is making her sister Nicky do something she almost never does -- cry.So says Paris' mom Kathy, who tells People that their visit to Paris in jail left Nicky "in hysterics" and that the younger Hilton "tried to keep the brave face but -- I never see Nicky cry." Nicky describes the scene as "right out of the movies ... the glass partition, the orange jumpsuit. Everything."
"It's tough. It is," said Kathy, who saw her daughter on Tuesday. "It's just one hour a week: 30 minutes on Sunday and 30 minutes on Tuesday. We talk through glass." Nicky spoke of what she saw as the unfairness in Paris's case.
"What's annoying is all these people are going on television saying that she was drinking and driving," said Nicky. "She's not in jail for DUI. That's a big misconception. She's in jail for driving on a suspended license, just like the D.A.'s wife was. ... She got a $186 fine." (On the day he sought more jail time for Paris Hilton, Los Angeles City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo acknowledged his wife got a traffic ticket two years ago while driving with a suspended license. She received the ticket – and the $186 fine – for failing to obey a turn-only sign, but wasn't ticketed for driving with the suspended license).
