Paris Hilton pulled out all the stops in order to avoid serving her 45 day jail sentence. The heiress posted a notice on her Myspace blog asking for fans to sign a petition to keep her out of jail.

In a message that went up Monday on her MySpace page and reported in the New York Post, the hotel heiress writes (in her own spelling): “My friend Joshua started this petition, please help and sihn it. i LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!”

The petition, directed to California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, asks that Hilton be pardoned from her sentence of 45 days in jail for violating the terms of her probation by driving with a suspended license. The punishment was handed down in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday. An appeal has been filed.

“I urge all fans and supporters and all that are outraged by injustice to sign this petition,” writes Hilton.

Dear lord. Anyhoo, a day after firing her publicist, Paris re-hired Elliot Mintz. Paris reportedly blamed her arrest on the P.R. expert, claiming he was the one who told her she could drive on a suspended license.

“Paris and I met last night,” Mintz told People on Tuesday. “I am still her media rep. She is still my client. She is also a dear friend.”

The duo were spotted Monday night in Los Angeles riding a golf cart at Paramount Studio’s New York lot, arriving for the Brent Shapiro Foundation for Drug Awareness celebration of its annual Sober Day.

Hopefully Elliot Mintz drove the golf cart.
