leonardo dicaprioLeonardo DiCaprio was sued by his neighbor claiming the actor excavated the neighboring property without permission and damaged plants and hedges to build a basketball court at his home.

Ronald and Joan Linclau filed legal papers last week citing the construction weakened a hillside and left their deck and pool in danger of collapse. They are seeking at least $250,000 in damages.

DiCaprio “failed to exercise ordinary care … in making the excavations and failed to take reasonable precautions to sustain the adjoining land … in its natural state,” the suit claimed.

DiCaprio’s spokesman, Ken Sunshine, said the lawsuit “is totally without merit.”

The lawsuit claimed DiCaprio ignored warnings that he was trespassing on the property, located in the hills above Sunset Boulevard.

Paris Hilton Goes to Jail

Paris Hilton goes to jailIt won’t compare to a season of A Simple Life when Paris Hilton leaves all luxury to serve her 45-day jailsentence soon. The heiress was ordered until June 5 to report for detention at the California County Jail.

Hilton was reportedly “visibly shocked and tearful” when a judge imposed the sentence, later calling it “cruel and unwarranted.” News have emerged that she fired publicist, Eliot Mintz over this.

Unless her lawyers win an appeal, she will forsake her designer clothes, cell phone and other accouterments — along with her freedom and privacy — for an orange jumpsuit and a small, spartan cell with twin bunks.

“She’s going to be assigned a two-person cell, and most likely have another inmate in the cell with her,” Los Angeles County sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore said on Monday, adding Hilton, like all inmates, would be confined to her quarters 23 hours a day.

She will be allowed out of her cell once a day for an hour to shower, stretch her legs, use the telephone or watch television in a jailhouse day room. She will also will get three meals a day, all taken in her cell, but like the jail’s furnishings, nothing fancy — cereal or yogurt with fruit for breakfast, a sandwich or hamburger for lunch, and a hot meal such as chicken for dinner.

The cell — 8 feet wide by 12 feet deep, with an 8-foot (2.4 meter) ceiling — contains “two bunks, a table, a sink, a toilet and a sliver of a window.”

The jail’s schedule also will make it hard for Hilton to keep the late hours she is accustomed to. Breakfast is served between 6 and 7:30 a.m., and lights are turned out at 10 p.m.

Los Angeles DA Wants Paris Hilton in Jail

Filed Under Celebrity Blunders | 2 Comments

Paris HiltonThe Los Angeles city attorney’s office has filed documents in Superior Court recommending the hotel heiress, Paris Hilton, be jailed for 45 days for violating terms of her probation for an alcohol-related reckless driving conviction.

Prosecutors also want Hilton to stay away from alcohol for 90 days and wear a monitoring device that will chart whether she complies. And they are seeking to have her license suspended for an additional four months.

The recommendation will be reviewed by a judge when Hilton appears for a probation violation hearing on Friday. The judge can accept it or impose a different penalty. The maximum penalty is 90 days in jail.

City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo said Hilton is being treated the same as anyone else. “Anyone who would have conducted themselves in a way that resulted in this set of facts, we would have made the same recommendation of 45 days in county jail, regardless of whether they were a celebrity or not,” he said.

Hilton, pleaded no contest in January to reckless driving stemming from a Sept. 7 arrest in Hollywood. Police said she appeared intoxicated and failed a field sobriety test. She had a blood-alcohol level of .08 percent, the level at which an adult driver is in violation of the law.

Hilton said she had only a single margarita at a charity event that evening but may have been “speeding a little bit” while on her way to get a hamburger.

On Jan. 15 she was pulled over by California Highway Patrol. Officers informed Hilton she was driving on a suspended license and she signed a document acknowledging she was not to drive, according to court papers.

She then was stopped by Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies on Feb. 27 and charged with violating her probation. Police said she was pulled over at about 11 p.m. after authorities saw the car speeding with its headlights off.

Hilton’s spokesman, Elliot Mintz, said at the time she wasn’t aware her license was suspended. A call Thursday to Mintz was not immediately returned.
