"She's just tired of it, and 72 hours isn't going to kill her," spokesman Phil Paladino said Wednesday.
The 72-year-old Gabor probably will go to jail within a month, he said.
"As Zsa Zsa would say, `You can't beat City Hall,' " Paladino said. "In her heart, she's innocent."
Gabor was convicted of smacking Beverly Hills Officer Paul Kramer during a traffic stop a year ago. She also was sentenced to community service at a homeless shelter and ordered to pay court costs and fines totaling $12,000.
Jackie Mason has been ordered to pay $2,000 a month in child support to a 37-year-old former girlfriend he denies getting pregnant.
A Florida appeals court Tuesday upheld a ruling in favor of Ginger Reiter, who filed a paternity lawsuit three years ago alleging Mason had fathered her 4-year-old daughter, Sheeba.
The 60-year-old comic denies he is the father and had appealed the earlier child-support ruling.
A judge had ruled that blood tests show there is a 99.94 percent chance that the girl is Mason's daughter.
Bill Orr, husband of Nebraska Gov. Kay Orr, is the author of a cookbook. But he lost the not-so-coveted title of "His Blinding Magnificence, the King of Cornhusker Cookery" in a cookoff on Main Street at Dannebrog, Neb.
The spoof culinary showdown pitted Orr, author of "The First Gentleman's Cookbook," against Roger Welsch, a regular contributor on CBS' "Sunday Morning."
Welsch first named Orr the Cornhusker cooking king, and promptly challenged him for the title.
The challenger provided both competitors' entries, offering a plump mesquite-broiled steak for himself, while Orr was judged on a scrawny piece of meat spotted with green food coloring and accompanied by a pail of cow chips as seasonings.
"I came in a close second while Welsch finished next to last," Orr said after the gag Wednesday.
Suzanne Somers told Michigan lawmakers that alcoholism in her family crushed her self-esteem as a child and would have made her entertainment career impossible had she not sought professional help.
"If you don't feel good about yourself, you can't win," Somers told the House Subcommittee on Substance Abuse on Wednesday. She urged them to create programs to help children of alcoholics seek treatment.
