LA Inmates Already Mad At Paris
Filed Under Celebrity Blunders, Gossips | 1 Comment
Paris Hilton is about to serve her full (rather half of it) jail term in less than 24 hours. But reports say that her future inmates at Lynwood County Jail is already irked at the special attention the heiress is getting from authorities.
Susannah Johnson, who was released Saturday after a one-day stay at the jail, said inmates were angry at Hilton, believing officials were making room for the starlet at the expense of other inmates already coping with crowded conditions in the 2,200-bed jail.
The only advice I could give her when she comes is to shut her mouth and do the time,” said Johnson, 35, of Claremont.
Meanwhile, photographers, reporters and television crews staked out positions at three entrances to the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood. Authorities had also cordoned off a grassy area outside the jail for members of the media.
Officers arrested Hilton in Hollywood on Sept. 7. In January, she pleaded no contest to the reckless-driving charge and was sentenced to 36 months’ probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines.
She was pulled over by the California Highway Patrol on Jan. 15. Officers informed Hilton she was driving on a suspended license and she signed a document acknowledging she was not to drive. She was pulled over again by sheriff’s deputies Feb. 27 and was charged with violating her probation.
Paris was originally sentenced to 45 days in prison, but jail officials cut it off to 23 days citing “good behavior”.

Paris Hilton Goes To Jail: The Countdown
Filed Under Celebrity Blunders, Gossips | Leave a Comment
The countdown is on as Paris Hilton prepares to serve her full jail sentence minus her glamorous makeups, jewelries and dresses that barely covers her semi-precious triangle.
The 26-year-old heiress has until 11:59 p.m. on June 5 to report to the Century Regional Detention Facility to start serving time for violating her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.
A judge sentenced Hilton to 45 days behind bars, but Los Angeles County sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore said “she will do about 23 days,” due to “good behavior“. She may choose to report early, or at an odd hour, to try to avoid media attention
And despite speculations that Paris may be allowed to be released early, he said there’s no chance Hilton will be released early due to overcrowding, as actress Michelle Rodriguez was in May 2006, when she served less than one day of a 60-day sentence at the same county jail.
Hilton will be housed in the facility’s “special needs” unit, where she “very well may not” have a roommate, Whitmore said.
Like other inmates in the special-needs area, she will take her meals in her cell and will be allowed outside the 12-foot-by-8-foot space for at least an hour each day to shower, watch TV in the day room, participate in outdoor recreation or talk on the telephone. She will have to use a public pay phone as cell phones and BlackBerrys aren’t allowed.
Hilton must come empty-handed to the jail, Whitmore said. Once she’s booked into custody, she’ll have to surrender her clothing and jewelry in exchange for the requisite orange jumpsuit.
She will also get the same standard-issue kit all incoming inmates at the 2,200-bed facility receive: a toothbrush, tube of toothpaste, soap, a comb, deodorant, shampoo and shaving implements, along with a jail-issued pencil, stationery, envelopes and stamps.
If Hilton wants to prettify herself in her cell’s polished-metal mirror, she can buy a compact, eye shadow, an eyebrow pencil and package of hair coloring from the jail commissary, where she can draw from a prepaid account.
And when she come out, expect the sleazy tabloids to bid millions for a Paris tell-all.
Lindsay Lohan Back in Rehab

Lindsay Lohan runs back to rehab after being arrested for drunk driving, as or as we fashionably call it: DUI. The nearly 21-year-old actress crashed her Mercedes and was booked for suspicion of driving under the influence and was photographed slumped in the passenger seat of a friend’s car.
Lohan “admitted herself to an intensive medical rehabilitation facility” on Monday, according to a statement released by her publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnick. The statement added, “Because this is a medical matter, it is our hope that the press will appreciate the seriousness of the situation and respect the privacy of Lindsay as well as the other patients receiving treatment at the facility.”
This is Lohan’s second rehab stint this year. She said in January that she had checked into a rehabilitation center for substance abuse treatment.
And this from a girl who has said, “I always said I would die before I went to rehab.”
The case remains under investigation, McCann said. Lohan could face additional charges for leaving the scene, he said, adding “we would take into consideration that she was injured and transported to a hospital.”
Her preliminary court date is scheduled for Aug. 24.

Lindsay Lohan Arrested for DUI
Filed Under Celebrity Blunders, Gossips | 2 Comments
If things go really bad for Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton may have found the perfect cellmate. La Lohan was booked by police for possible DUI after after her convertible crashed on a curb, and investigators found what they believe is cocaine.
Lohan, 20, and two other people were in her 2005 Mercedes SL-65 when it crashed on Sunset Boulevard around 5:30 a.m., Sgt. Mike Foxen said. It appeared the actress was speeding, Lt. Mitch McCann said at an afternoon news conference.
Officers received a 911 call about the accident and arrested Lohan at the hospital for investigation of misdemeanor driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, McCann said.
She was released from custody because she was admitted to the hospital, police said. But the case will be presented to the District Attorney’s Office where the actress could face more charges, including felonies. Her tentative arraignment date is Aug. 24.
Officers at the scene found a “usable amount” of a drug tentatively identified as cocaine, McCann said. He declined to say where the drug was found other than to say Lohan was not carrying it.
In January Lindsay checked into a rehabilitation center for substance abuse treatment. Her publicist confirmed in December that the actress was attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

Lindsay Lohan’s 21st Birthday Booze Party
Filed Under Gossips | Leave a Comment
What more clearer way to say: “I’m now legally allowed to drink booze!”? Ask Lindsay Lohan.
The Georgia Rule actress who has time and again denied she drinks alcohol during her daily night-outs, had a rehab stint, and attending Alcoholics Anonymous, is celebrating her 21st birthday in Vegas and is rumored to have Svedka vodka as her party’s sponsor.
The report is causing stir and much debate on whether an alcohol company should sponsor the starlet’s party at the Pure nightclub.
Lohan’s reps told the Daily News that they were “unaware of who is sponsoring Lindsay’s birthday, as I am not the one planning it.” What’s her mother Dina has to say about this? Or maybe she’ll be on the club’s red carpet interviewing Lindsay’s glittery guests for E!
In early May, Lohan’s hard-partying lifestyle made headlines once again, as a British tabloid published pictures that allegedly showed Lohan using cocaine with friends at a nightclub.
