Hilton, who was brought to court in handcuffs in a sheriff’s car, entered the courtroom dishevelled and crying. Her hair was askew and she wore a grey fuzzy sweatshirt over slacks. She wore no make-up and cried throughout the hearing.

Her body also shook constantly as she dabbed at her eyes. Several times she turned to her parents who were seated behind her in the courtroom and mouthed the words: "I love you."

Judge Sauer told the court: "I at no time condoned the actions of the sheriff and at no time told him I approved the actions.

"At no time did I approve the defendant being released from custody to her home on Kings Road."


Paris tagged? - June 8 2007
Paris Hilton will return to court today to find out whether she’ll be allowed to serve the remainder of her prison sentence wearing a tag at home.

The hotel heiress was released from jail yesterday - due to an unspecified "medical condition" - after serving just three days of her 45-day sentence at LA’s Century Regional Detention Facility for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.  But then the judge who jailed the socialite ordered her back to court to determine whether she should go back behind bars.

"The city attorney filed a petition for an order to show cause why the sheriff should not be held in contempt for releasing Ms Hilton, and demanded that she be held in custody," LA Superior Court spokesman Allan Parachini said.

Superior Court Judge Michael Sauer issued his order after the city attorney filed a petition questioning whether Sheriff Lee Baca should be held in contempt of court for releasing Paris. The star was sent home to finish her sentence under house arrest.

"What transpired here is outrageous," county Supervisor Don Knabe said.  He said it gave the impression of "celebrity justice being handed out".

City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo complained that he learned of her release through news reports.   "It’s the city attorney’s position that the decision on whether or not Ms Hilton should be released early and placed on electronic monitoring should be made by Judge Sauer and not the Sheriff’s Department," said Jeffrey Isaacs of the city attorney’s office.

When Sauer sentenced Paris, he ruled that she couldn’t serve her sentence at home.

Paris to pen prison diary? - June 7 2007
Paris Hilton is reportedly set to pocket a whopping sum of cash while she is in the slammer - for writing a diary during her stay.

The hotel heiress could be set to make over £1 million at the end of her 23-day stay in jail, reports the Daily Star.

The blonde will get £500,000 for her diaries and is at the centre of a bidding war for her first exclusive interview when she comes out.

A source said: "Paris’s jail diary will make a dramatic read. If she can make it believable and not exaggerate too much she can expect to make a fortune.

"And when she gets out it’s the story everyone will want - how the pampered rich girl coped with life behind bars."

The 26-year-old who entered jail on Sunday, is said to be "doing well".
