Shocker…Paris Hilton Charged with Felony Drug Possession

August 30th, 2010 | Posted in Celebrity Justice, Drugs by bloom | No Comments »

Up to her old tricks, Paris Hilton has been charged with felony possession of a controlled substance – cocaine.

Hilton was stopped in Las Vegas by police who allegedly smelled the strong odor of marijuana emanating from a vehicle driven by Hilton’s boyfriend, Cy Waits, who has been arrested for DWI.

According to reports, after requesting access to her purse for lip balm, Hilton opened the purse at which point officers witnessed a small bindle of what appeared to be cocaine fall from the purse and into their hands.

Hilton is currently charged with possession of .8 grams of cocaine, an amount indicating felony status with sentences in Nevada ranging from probation to 4 years in prison. It is unclear at this point what the outcome will be while Hilton and her family adamantly deny her ownership of the cocaine (and, on occasion, the purse).

In any event, it is extremely ill advised to ever engage in the use or possession of controlled substances, least of all while driving.

Paris Hilton’s Brother Makes 20K Bail After DUI – What’s Fair 4 Bail?

February 13th, 2008 | Posted in Celebrity Justice, Courts, DUI/DWI by bloom | No Comments »

paris-hilton-celibate.jpgBarron Hilton, Paris Hilton’s kid brother, got busted for Driving Under the Influence (DUI) early yesterday morning – the time of his Malibu arrest was 8:05 a.m.  Seems Barron took a breathilizer (did he check with his lawyer first? I doubt it) and blew a .14 (.08 is the legal limit).  In the car with him, an unidentified girl and a fake ID.   Sounds like Barron had a wild night, right?

Barron spent the day in jail, and around 6 pm  that evening, he was released after posting $20,000 bail.  So, what’s bail — and what’s a fair bail amount? Continue Reading »

Paris Hilton and Scooter Libby: What’s With this Pardon Business?

July 4th, 2007 | Posted in Celebrity Justice, Legislation, National Issues by bloom | 1 Comment »

paris-hilton-celibate.jpgTMZ.COM has pointed out that Paris Hilton had to serve jail time, while Scooter Libby didn’t … and their post includes surveys showing that the American public believes both should have done their time.  Over at Kavips, the comparison between Paris Hilton and Mr. Libby is also being made, with its big question being “if Libby got pardoned, why didn’t Paris?”  FreeRepublic is throwing Li’l Kim into the mix: what about her jailtime (10 months, a $50,000 fine, and probation till 2009)? 

Bill Totten points out that there’s a lot of humor to be found in the fact that Paris Hilton has done more time than Scooter Libby.   For the more serious sorts, The Foxhole has one perspective, JoSwift has the other. 

So, what’s a pardon anyway - who gives ‘em, when, and why?  If you’re in trouble, can you get one too?

Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, LiLo – What’s A Reputation, Anyway?

June 24th, 2007 | Posted in Celebrity Justice by bloom | No Comments »

britney_spears2.jpgParis Hilton is finishing her jail time: her first interview out of the clink will be on Wednesday with Larry King.   Paris, as you’ll recall, skyrocketed to big time fame with the release of a sex video on the internet.  For all things Paris, check out TheHiltonFiles.

Lindsay Lohan announced last Thursday that she is extending her stay in rehab.   Meanwhile, MTV reports that American Apparel is selling hoodies like the one Lindsay was wearing, passed out in the front seat of her car, by using the paparrazi photo we’ve all seen with zonked Lohan’s mouth hanging open.   Get one for $40.00.

Britney Spears’ album has been shelved for now; fans are being told to wait until 2008.  Photos are still appearing of Britney seriously unclothed, and rumors continue of her heavy drinking. 

Do any of these three have any reputation left to damage under the law?

Paris Hilton – What Happens When U (& Paris) Go To Jail

June 4th, 2007 | Posted in Celebrity Justice by bloom | 1 Comment »

parishilton.jpgLast night, Paris Hilton evaded the media hoard surrounding the Lynwood County jail in LA by surrendering to authorities at a downtown LA all-male facility.  Paris was then transported to the Lynwood facility. 

Starting today, she’s serving half of her sentence, or approximately 3 weeks, in a 12 foot by 8 foot cell that contains two bunks as well as a toilet.  So far, she doesn’t have a roomie.

Just so you know, Paris has not had any special treatment thus far — assuming media reports are accurate. 

So, exactly what happens when you are arrested and jailed? Continue Reading »

Lindsay Lohan v Paris Hilton: A Lawyer Compares the 2

May 30th, 2007 | Posted in Celebrity Justice by bloom | No Comments »

lindsay_lohan915_461f527247fce-t.jpgBy now, you’ve probably seen Lindsay Lohan passed out in a car this past Sunday night, after being rushed to the hospital on Saturday for minor injuries when she ran her car into a telephone pole. 

And, you’ve probably chuckled at last week’s photos of Paris Hilton carrying a Bible and the book The Power of Now.  

Paris is already going to jail.  

From reports that Lindsay’s lawyer escorted her back to rehab admist rumors circulating that a “usuable amount” of cocaine had been found in Lindsay Lohan’s car as well as gossip that she’d been drinking over the holiday – well, it’s a big hint to criminal defense attorneys that Lindsay‘s attorneys are concerned about the possibility of jail time.  Lindsay‘s arrest on Saturday was for suspicion of driving under the influence,  what happens on the cocaine discovery is an open question right now. 

What does this mean to you?  Who’s in the worst position right now – Paris or Lindsay?

MySpace Lawsuits: Paris, Lindsay, Teachers, Principals, and You

It’s safe to assume that anyone reading this post knows MySpace.  For those few grandmas and coma victims who don’t, MySpace (in 25 words or less) is a social-networking web site – ”a place for friends” — where you can share blogs, pix, music, videos, and personal info with anyone, anywhere in the world.  MySpace is the 5th most popular website of all sites, regardless of language.  And, it’s growing: every day the site gets bigger.

For example, the buzz is that later today, Mark Burnett (the Survivor guy) will announce a new reality TV/Internet collaboration, where anyone wishing to run for president in 2008 can post a video on MySpace.  Anyone.  Of course, the 100,000,000+ MySpace users can then discuss the video candidates amongst themselves, and all of this criss-crosses into the reality series.  

Sounds like a great use of the web, right?  Just like the news stories of people seeking to adopt babies via MySpace,  or MySpace’s Are You The Next John Woo?  contest.   Before you say yes, let’s check with Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and some guy in Chattanooga.  Continue Reading »

Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie – even Lindsay Lohan’s dad. They’ve all faced the nightmare of flashing red lights illuminating their car’s interior, a fun night gone wrong.

Lindsay Lohan’s dad just got released from prison after serving 2 years for Driving Under the Influence (DUI).

So what is BAC exactly? Continue Reading »
