Paris Hilton
- Profession: Hotel heiress
- Place/Date of Birth: New York City, 17 February 2021
Hilton pleaded no contest in January to reckless driving stemming from a September 7 arrest in Hollywood. Police said she appeared intoxicated and failed a field sobriety test. She had a blood-alcohol level of .08%, the level at which an adult driver is breaking the law.
She was sentenced to 36 months’ probation, alcohol education and £750 in fines. Two other traffic stops and failure to enrol in an alcohol education programme are what landed the socialite back in court.
Paris’s contact details go on web - April 25 2007
Paris Hilton has attracted another enemy it seems - former friend Shanna Moakler has apparently posted the socialite’s email address and mobile phone number online.
Former Miss USA Shanna posted the contact details for Paris on her MySpace page over the weekend, as well as a personal email address for Lindsay Lohan, according to People.com.
The heiress’ rep Elliot Mintz hit back, saying: "This woman is simply desperate for press and attention."
And he calls it "an unprovoked invasion upon Paris’s privacy, which immediately caused her to change her contact information. It was a childish, mean-spirited thing to do".
Shanna’s blog, entitled Put This In Your Pipe and Smoke It, has since been removed.
The posting reportedly listed what the reality TV star claimed were Paris’ email address and phone number and an email addresses for Lindsay Lohan.
Unsurprisingly, Li-Lo’s rep announced: "She and Shanna are not friends."
Paris pals up with K-Fed? - April 24 2007
She may have helped Britney try and forget about K-Fed - but now Paris Hilton has apparently been spotted snuggling up to the troubled singer’s estranged husband in a Las Vegas club.
"They were both dancing away and looked as though they were flirting," an onlooker told the Daily Star. "It was hard to believe that Paris was once best pals with Britney and then was dancing with her ex. It all seems a bit unloyal."
The hotel heiress has had a busy week - it seems she’s also been cosying up to another on-off friend’s squeeze, James Blunt, who was linked to Lindsay Lohan.
Brit and Paris were regularly seen out clubbing together in Los Angeles last November, shortly after the Toxic star filed for divorce, but their friendship quickly turned sour when the star allegedly accused the socialite of damaging her reputation with her wild partying ways.
Meanwhile the singer, who has since been into rehab, was spotted having an altogether more sedate time shopping in LA.
Paris ordered to court - April 18 2007
Paris Hilton has been ordered to appear in court for allegedly violating her probation in a reckless driving case by driving on a suspended licence.
City prosecutors are seeking to revoke the hotel heiress’ probation on grounds that she violated its terms, which could result in a sentence of up to 90 days in jail.
The socialite and TV personality wasn’t present for Tuesday’s hearing, which was conducted almost entirely with lawyers at the bench speaking privately with the judge.
At one point, however, Superior Court Judge Michael Sauer was heard saying that the allegation was driving on a suspended licence. He then commented to the lawyers: "I find that a violation."
The judge later announced the matter would be postponed to May 4 and Paris was ordered to appear.

She might be set to inherit an estimated $20m but that hasn’t stopped Paris turning her hand to a variety of ’jobs’ including TV star ? on The Simple Life, in which ex friend Nicole also starred ? movie star (with cameo appearances in Zoolander and The Cat in The Hat followed by a starring role in House of Wax), writer, albeit of her own autobiography, and model. These extra jobs are thought to have netted her around an extra $6m, a tidy sum which no doubt more than makes up for the ridicule Paris faces daily.
More recently Paris has get in on the music industry, founding Heiress Records on which she will produce her own debut record ? first single ’Screwed’ has already been leaked and, naturally, slated. She has also hit the headlines for becoming engaged to fellow heir Paris Latsis with whom she is regularly seen on the LA and New York party scene.
