Paris Hilton's DUI/probation violation file has officially been closed -- for now.

TMZ has exclusively obtained court documents signed by Hilton, proving that she completed her required substance abuse education classes on June 25 -- while she was still behind bars -- er, iron ones. She was released from Lynwood Jail at 12:01 AM on June 26. No hearts in her signature this time!

Hilton isn't totally out of the woods yet; she is on probation until January 2010. However, if she violates probation again, she will face the very same judge who sent her to the pokey in May.

Paris Hilton lost track of sister Nicky after getting swarmed at the Grove in Los Angeles last night.

While leaving the movie theaters -- where the Hilton sisters apparently saw Michael Moore's astounding health care docu "Sicko" -- photos quickly engulfed the ex-convict as Nicky ran for cover. Paris briefly posed for photos as Nicky disappeared in front of the herd, with Paris stopping to ask, "Where is my sister?"

When Paris finally tracked her down -- Nicky was ready with their getaway vehicle, honking her horn at paps to get them outta her way. That's what sisters are for!

Recent media coverage in the UK, Europe and America has incorrectly reported that reggae legends UB40 are to take legal action against American socialite and pop star PARIS HILTON for breach of copyright in relation to their hit record "Kingston Town." Media coverage in the last few days has confirmed that a £250,000 writ has been issued in the High Court in London, claiming breach of copyright against "Kingston Town" and that Ms Hilton’s record "Stars Are Blind" which was released last year, was "a blatant rip off" of the UB40 classic record

A spokesman for the band today confirmed; "UB40 are in no way associated or party to any legal action being bought against Ms Hilton in relation to the song "Kingston Town." Any speculated legal action taking place against Ms Hilton would be entirely at the instigation of the original songwriter’s music publisher, Sparta Florida Music Group, who ultimately own the copyright to the song. UB40 wish to make this clear that they are not involved with this legal action." The spokesman went on to add "However, UB40 have always acknowledged, respected and supported the rights of songwriters and their vitally important contribution in the musical process."

Paris Hilton's biggest fan might just be a  tiny 4-year-old girl.

Showing off posing skills eerily similar to those of her ex-con/socialite hero, a precocious little girll from Florida waited outside Hilton's home last night for the chance to meet the star.

When Paris emerged, the heiress worked it for the cameras with the little one right by her side.

L.A. area clubs rejoice -- your paparazzi princess has come home! After an interminable jail sentence and an additional week and a half of laying low, Paris Hilton returned to one of her homes away from home -- Hollywood club Les Deux.
















Paris was spotted by TMZ's cameras there on Friday night with sister Nicky and gal pal Erin Foster, along with a pair of appropriately intimidating body guards. The never-shy Paris soaked up the center of attention by dancing on a couch in the middle of the club and singing along to every song played, including her own marginal hit, "Stars Are Blind,".

Hilton Hotels Corporation has agreed to be acquired by The Blackstone Group.

InterContinental Hotels has been lifted by the US private equity firm's takeover deal for Hilton Hotels Corp for about $20 billion plus debt, the richest in a series of recent private equity offers for hotel companies.

The deal would instantly make Blackstone the world's largest hotel owner. Hilton has more than 2,800 hotels with 480,000 rooms 76 countries and territories.

InterContinental Hotels has had the number one ranking for the past four years.

The private equity group said it would combine cash from its real estate and corporate private equity funds to buy all outstanding Hilton shares for 47.50 US dollars each, a 32% premium over Tuesday's closing stock price.

Hilton's board approved the terms on Tuesday. The company said the deal would close in the fourth quarter pending shareholder approval.

Blackstone owns more than 100,000 hotel rooms in the United States and Europe, including La Quinta Inns and Suites as well as LXR Luxury Resorts and Hotels.

Hilton has been aggressively expanding since 2005, when it bought Britain's Hilton Group PLC for $US5.7 billion, reuniting two brands that split in the 1960s.

Socialite Paris Hilton's grandfather, Barron Hilton, is co-chairman of the board and owns 5.3% of Hilton Hotels' outstanding shares, according to the company's latest proxy statement.

Hilton shares rose 2.18 US dollars, or 6.4%, to 36.05 US dollars on Tuesday in trading shortened ahead of the July Fourth holiday. InterContinental was amongst top FTSE gainers, up 3.9%.

Paris Hilton has called it quits on her feud with former friend Lindsay Lohan and has decided to make up with her.

The pair famously fell out after Lohan dated Hilton's ex Stavros Niarchos, which led to a battle of words in which Paris called Lindsay a "firecrotch".

But both ladies were seen partying together on Malibu beach during 4th July celebrations.

A source told the New York Daily News that Paris has decided to give the Mean Girls actress a second chance.

They said: "Paris was known as a bully...If a friend didn't like Lohan, then she wouldn't like Lohan. But she's through taking sides. She realized who real friends were when she was in jail -- and there weren't many."
