 Reading fan mail that flooded in from all over world — including letters from soldiers in Iraq - filled her days while confined in jail, Paris Hilton said Wednesday in her first interview since her release.
"I had no idea I had so much support," the hotel heiress told Larry King on CNN, adding that she received no critical letters. "I was really surprised about that."
Hilton said she spent her three-week sentence in an 8-foot-by-12 cell for 23 hours a day and was treated no differently than other inmates in the high-profile security wing of a Los Angeles jail.
It was no picnic, she said.
"The food was horrible. It was jail food. It's not supposed to be good," Hilton recounted.
"Lunch is basically a baloney sandwich. They call it mystery meat. It's pretty scary."
Dinner was nicknamed "jail slop. It's not that tasty."
Hilton said she was initially released to house arrest because she couldn't adjust to jail.
"I suffer from claustrophobia my entire life. When I first got in that cell, I was having severe panic attacks, anxiety attacks; my claustrophobia was kicking in," she said.
"I wasn't sleeping, I wasn't eating. The doctors talked to the sheriff, and he could see that it would be better if I did it on house arrest. He just thought it would be better for everyone if I was at home."
She told King she doesn't do illegal drugs or party too much.
"I just like to go out and have fun with my friends. I'm an Aquarius. We're social people."
But she said now she plans to cut back on the high life.
"I realized that there's a lot more important things in my life. And there's a lot more things to do. And I'm frankly sick of it." | Only registered users can write comments.

Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
