Paris Hilton and Benji Madden Stump for Sobriety

Wow; the alcohol-awareness industry is developing a pretty keen sense of irony.

Socialite/humanitarian Paris Hilton and her boyfriend, Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden, attended Sober USA Day 2008 at a private estate in Beverly Hills on Saturday. The event was presented by the Brent Shapiro Foundation for Drug and Alcohol Awareness.

That's Paris Hilton. Who, after being arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol, ignored a court order to enroll in an alcohol education program. And was again arrested for reckless driving, on a suspended license. And spent a grand total of about five minutes in jail for all of the above.

But hey, at least she's making up for it all now by, uh, attending a party. Which is a pretty big sacrifice on her part. Anyone who knows anything about Paris Hilton will tell you how much she hates going to parties.

Maybe she felt obligated because the foundation's namesake, aside from being the son of super-lawyer Robert Shapiro, was a friend of Paris' who died from a combination of drug and alcohol ingestion in 2005 at the age of 24.

Hopefully she'll remember this evening's lessons whenever she climbs behind the wheel of a car in the future. Perhaps she should write it down and tape it to the dashboard; for some reason, she doesn't seem like she has the best memory.

Quotables /
“Paris Hilton isn't exactly who comes to mind as the face of drug abuse prevention, but none the less P and Benji came out for the Brent Shapiro Foundation for Drug Alcohol and Awareness in Los Angeles over the weekend. Brent Shapiro was the son of Robert Shapiro (O.J. Simpson's lawyer) who died of a drug overdose.

Paris has been flapping her gums lately about how much she'd like to get married to Benji and how she sees the two of them together "forever". What do you think, will there be a Paris and Benji union by the end of the summer?”
