Kevin Connolly: Paris Hilton Is A Cat

Paris Hilton got a visit from her sister Nicky at the medical clinic of the women’s jail in Lynwood, Calif., over the weekend.

Nicky arrived with boyfriend David Katzenberg and Julie Araskog, a longtime friend of the Hilton family. TMZ.com reported that Nicky left a small, unidentified red package with corrections officers as she was leaving the facility.

Meanwhile, Paris’s jail sentence elicited a range of different reactions from celebs over the weekend. Is her punishment fair? Will she change her ways after jail? Here’s a rundown:

Kevin Connolly: Paris Is A Cat

Entourage star Kevin Connolly, who once dated Nicky Hilton, offered his love and support for the Hilton family – plus some insight into Paris’s resilience. “Rick and Kathy are absolutely fantastic people and I can not say enough good things about them,” he told PEOPLE Saturday at a Hampton magazine party. “They’re great people. They’re great parents. And they’re a tight family. They’ll make it through. Because they stay together as a family, they’re tight.”

And Paris? “Paris is like a cat,” Connolly says. “She always lands on her feet she always has. She’ll be fine. It seems tough and for her, I’m sure it is tough. But like I said, they’re a tight family unit and they’ll get through it with each other. I love Rick and Kathy. They’ve been so nice to me . . . . they’re good people.”

Ellen & Vivica’s Lessons Learned

At the Daytime Emmy Awards Friday night, Paris was on the minds of several celebs, including big winner Ellen DeGeneres and Vivica A. Fox, who was recently cited for a DUI. “I just think it’s a huge learning lesson for all celebrities to learn that we are not above the law, that if you do commit a crime you will serve the time,” she said. “The main thing you should do is take responsibility for your actions.

“I still love Paris Hilton, I think she’s great,” Fox added. “She’s going to get more coverage when her butt gets out of jail. It’s going to be a special alert. We’re all going to watch, right? But I think that’s a huge lesson for her to learn that you’re not above the law.”

For her part, DeGeneres hopes Hilton is serious about dropping the “dumb act,” as she has promised. “If that really was an act, and she really was playing dumb, then what does that say about our society that we’re celebrating someone who’s successful because they’re not smart,” she told reporters. “I just think it’s a bad sign and she shouldn’t contribute to that.”
