Paris Hilton: Celebrity News

Launch Radio Networks reports: The new SMASHING PUMPKINS album, “Zeitgeist”, features Paris Hilton in a series of photographs in the CD booklet, taken by PUMPKINS leader Billy Corgan himself. Hilton’s face also adorns the cover of the band’s U.K. single for the song “Tarantula”. Corgan explained how he got the notorious party girl and ex-con to pose for him. “Actually the original idea was we were gonna see if Lindsey, Britney and Paris would all shoot,” he said. “But ultimately we decided that that was probably gonna be too prohibitive ’cause then you would get into, like, those girls fighting amongst each other. Paris I knew personally, and hung out with her a few times, and so I asked her. I said, ‘Would you be willing to do this?’And God bless her, she came, she showed up at 10:00 a.m. on a Sunday morning, sat in the chair, got made up and shot her. So anybody who thinks that those aren’t real photos, those are real. We took those photos.”

Yes, she's really changed since serving jail time!

Miss Hilton was snapped by paparazzi -- getting home from a Wednesday night out on the town -- at 5:00 AM! Mornin' Sunshine!

Arriving in a taxi (she's learning!), the heirmess ditched her size 11 heels and shielded her exhausted makeup with a towel. Home at last!

The internal investigation is looking into whether the 26-year-old hotel heiress had access to a cell phone while other inmates had to wait in line to use pay phones.

The probe will also determine whether Hilton was given a new jail uniform, instead of a recycled one like most other inmates, and finally, whether she had her mail delivered by a captain. Most mail is delivered by inmate trusties.

The accusations of special treatment were brought by deputies that approached their department's union, the Association for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs.

The deputies' claims differ from the department's information, said Steve Whitmore, the spokesman for the L.A. Sheriff's department.

"The investigation is to get to the bottom of this. It will shed a light on what actually occurred," Whitmore said.

Earlier, the department was accused of giving Hilton special treatment when it released her for medical reasons after just three days in jail. She was ordered to return the next day to complete her sentence. She was released on June 26.

Whitmore stressed that it was always the goal of the department to treat Hilton like any other inmate.

Hilton was serving time for violating probation of an alcohol-related driving incident.
