Paris Hilton: Celebrity News

Posted on 25 Aug 2007 by Paris

The party-loving pair were seen leaving Hollywood nightclub Opera within 10 minutes of each other last night.

TMZ spied the girls leaving the club, with Britney taking off around 1.50am while holding hands with yet another mystery man. 

After the demise of their short-lived friendship, Paris reportedly went around referring to Britney as an “animal” because “she doesn’t think about things before she does them.”

We’re just hoping the reunion doesn’t mean more knickerless action from our Brit.

Paris Hilton went baby shopping Thursday and bought $10,000 worth of baby cloths. The hotel heiress splurged on all sorts of baby items for her pregnant pal Nicole Richie.

Hilton shopped at the Intuition, a Hollywodd boutique, where she picked up items like one pieces, baby books, blankets and socks. She purchased outfits with the text “Don’t Ya Wish Your Mommy Was Hot like Mine.”  “She couldn’t wait to get to the baby department and look for things for Nicole’s baby,” a source said.

“She can’t wait to hang out with the baby. She’s happy Nicole is healthy and thinks she looks great,” the source added.

Richie is pregnant with ‘Good Charlotte’ frontman Joel Madden’s baby. She is five months along, and says she and Madden will probably be wed sometime next year after the baby is born. Richie recently served 82 minutes of a four day jail sentence she received in a DUI case. She was released because of overcrowding in the jail.

Now that's what you call fast service.

Reality TV star Nicole Richie was released by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department after serving just 82 minutes of her four-day sentence for driving under the influence of drugs.
 
Richie reported to the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood at 3:15 p.m. After being processed, sheriff's officials released her at 4:37 p.m.

Authorities said her sentence was radically cut under guidelines the Sheriff's Department uses to deal with chronic overcrowding in its jail system. The county is under a federal order to reduce overcrowding, resulting in the release of thousands of inmates who serve just a fraction of their sentences.

But the episode brought more criticism to a department already under fire for releasing Richie's "Simple Life" co-star, Paris Hilton, before her sentence was completed.

"It is wrong. It sends the wrong message to our youth," L.A. County Supervisor Mike Antonovich said.

Richie's jailing was a result of her Dec. 11 arrest by California Highway Patrol officers. She was driving the wrong way on the 134 Freeway in Burbank after using marijuana and Vicodin. After officers spotted Richie in the carpool lane, she told them she had smoked pot and taken the painkiller. As part of her sentence, the now-pregnant Richie also agreed to serve three years of probation, must enroll in an alcohol education program and was fined $2,048.

Undersheriff Larry Waldie, second in command at the department, said Richie was treated like any other female inmate.

"The reality of overcrowding is that would have happened to any female inmate with a 96-hour sentence," he said. "They were told to treat her like any other inmate, and that is what happened here."

Officials said a nonviolent woman sentenced to less than 30 days in jail typically serves less than 12 hours.

In 2006, actress Michelle Rodriguez received a 60-day sentence for violating probation and was out after four hours and 20 minutes because of jail overcrowding.

Over the last five years, more than 200,000 inmates have been released early because of overcrowding in county jails.

Sheriff Lee Baca came under criticism after his department released Hilton after he credited her with serving five days of her 45-day sentence.

Baca said he decided to allow her to serve her sentence under electronic monitoring because of an unspecified medical condition that was potentially life-threatening.

But a judge demanded that Hilton be returned to jail, where she served 23 days.

Shawn Chapman Holley, Richie's attorney, said her client was "treated like any other inmate in her situation would be treated. I was pleased because she is a celebrity. She wasn't treated any different."

Paris Hilton sold her Hollywood home for $4.25 million less than 8 days ago and the hotel heiress has reportedly already found a new home – a five bedroom Beverly Hills mansion for $6.25 million dollars.

Hilton explained she was forced to sell her home to avoid the paparazzi. She said she wanted to find a more private, gated place on more property and it looks like the ‘Simple Life’ star got everything she wanted.

 

According to reports Hilton’s new home is a 7,500 sq. foot Mediterranean-style mansion in a gated community. The mansion has pool, gym, Jacuzzi, waterfall, cabanas, a gourmet kitchen, separate guest house, and separate office.

Paris Hilton has denied rumors her new book will revolve around her time in prison.

Hilton served 23 days of a 45-day jail sentence in June for violating probation on a 2006 drunk-driving charge.

But her literary agent Dan Strone insists her spell in jail will not be the focus of her third book.

He says, "She is planning to do another book. She is thinking of doing a new book, and I don't believe at this time, it's contemplated to be a so-called prison diary. I don't think that's the direction she's heading."
