Despite the "brave face" she's been putting on lately in public, Paris Hilton is secretly distressed about her upcoming stint in jail (Shock!). In addition to barely eating, Paris breaks down crying all the time because she just can't deal with the pressure. A source adds:

"[Paris'] biggest support has been her family – her parents without a doubt. She talks to them a million times a day and they are doing everything they can to make sure that she comes out of this okay."

"She's been having such a tough time with it all despite her going out with friends and going shopping," the source says. "She just does that to keep her mind off things and to try and stay as normal as possible right now." (Source)

If Paris really wanted to stay as "normal as possible" wouldn't she be out blowing some random stranger right now? Because when I think of "normal" and "Paris Hilton," bruised knees and a sore jaw are what immediately comes to mind.

And here's a few more pics of Paris painting a ceramic bear yesterday because, really, why wouldn't she be painting a ceramic bear on a Tuesday afternoon?
