As reported earlier today, PARIS HILTON has been released from prison after serving only five days of her 23 day setence. Why? According to authorities, this is partially because of “medical” reasons. Now we learn from TMZ.com, that it was primarily for psychological reasons! (She’ll still have to “serve” 40 days of house arrest sitting inside her mansion. POOR THING!)

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Paris Hilton’s medical condition was purely psychological and that she was in peril of having a nervous breakdown, and that’s why she was released early this morning.

Psychiatrist Charles Sophy visited Hilton in jail yesterday and the day before. We’re told after Sophy’s visit yesterday, word was passed to the Sheriff that Hilton’s mental state was fragile and she was at risk.

In that case, I’m through making fun of her. One can only suffer so much of Sarah Silverman’s “painting the prison bars to look like penises” jokes, before losing one’s grip on reality.
