more hookery than usual
Seems like Paris Hilton can't stay out of trouble for very long. Just last night she was put cruising on the Las Vegas Strip (and outside outside the Wynn Hotel) when she got pulled over by the cops. Las Vegas' finest observed what they thought was marijuana smoke coming out of the window of Hilton's black Escalande. Now since Hilton probably wasn't participating in a vote by the College of Cardinals - even online - the fuzz felt that they had could grounds to further investigate.Further investigation revealed that Paris had cocaine on her. Not much cocaine, but just enough for her to be charged with a count of felony possession (class e). In case you're not a regular Law & Order viewer a felony is more serious than a misdemeanor. In fact it's a big league criminal charge! That lead to Paris and her new BFF Cy Waits to get booked into Clarke Country Jail.
Though the charges were serious, Paris skated only a few short hours later, on bail (thanks to lawyer David Chesnoff). She was busted at approximately 11:30 PM. By about 3;30 Am she was back home again and on Twitter. Now she made no Twitter mention of her recent misfortune. She just popped online long enough to tell everyone that she was home, getting ready for bed, and watching Family Guy. Oh yeah, and "xoxox, everyone" from Paris.
As for poor Cy, well he wasn't so fortunate. Even though he's the very man who helped Paris thwart a home invasion by a gun wielding intruder earlier in the week - he didn't get sprung along with Paris. Cy had to wallow in prison under a charge of driving while intoxicated. So whether or not crime pays, we can say that Paris is a poor person to stand next to when lightening strikes. Though she has an excellent raincoat, she doesn't provide much coverage to anyone else.
"the-drugs-weren't-mine" defense
BTW Paris already has a fantastic alibi that might even make an unlikely legal defense. The coke was found in her purse, and she claims that the purse isn't hers. This is the same defense she used earlier this year in South Africa, where she got busted for pot possession. Sources say the fact that she got released so quickly on bail is an indication of how seriously the prosecution is taking the case. The fact that her boyfriend de jour Cy Waits got held may indicate that he's being set up as fall guy - but who knows. The drugs were found in her purse, and she was the only woman in the car at the time of the bust. Paris however insists that she had just come from a night club where oodles of women, and their purses, were present. So maybe she grabbed up the wrong purse because she was too stoned to notice. Anyone would buy that if they were on a jury, right? Perhaps, if jury duty lowers your IQ by 15 points!
Also the above mugshot of Paris shows her looking as good as ever. Hopefully she will whether this storm as she has her others. The pressures of fame can take a lot out of you. Take Sarah Palin for instance. She's been America's heart throb ever since John McCain discovered her as a running mate via google search (Since then Sarah has moved up in the world, and onto Twitter! She always was an ambitious girl with an eye to her future!). Though she was an attractive lady at the time, her brush with fame has left her looking the worse for wear. Just take a look at this most recent Sarah Palin picture!
Of course she got herself prettied up for her big Tea Party Rally. On a totally unrelated note - for our Sunday Wondertrash matinee: here's an example of how movies can make anything look good, especially evil - with Triumph of the Will.
