(Sept. 22) -- The Far East is keeping Paris Hilton far, far away. The hotel heiress was detained and denied entry to Japan when she attempted to enter the country just two days after pleading guilty to drug charges in Las Vegas. Hilton was scheduled to make an appearance today in Tokyo in support of her fashion and fragrance lines. (Note: This incident is not to be confused with local Arizona indie-alt-rock quartet Banned From Japan.) "Paris is very disappointed and fought hard to keep her business commitments and see her fans, but she is forced to postpone her commitments in Asia," read a ...
(Sept. 20) -- They're (sometimes) blond, they're famous and they're often in trouble with the law. The oddly intersecting lives of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan continued to make headlines over the past few days as both women faced new legal consequences for alleged continued violations of U.S. drug laws. Surge Desk has been keeping track of the parallel legal dramas and has put together the following points of comparison and contrast. Initial Criminal Violations Paris Hilton: On Sept. 7, 2006, Hilton was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. Her driver's ...
(Sept. 20) -- Paris Hilton pleaded guilty Monday to two misdemeanor charges stemming from her arrest for drug possession last month at a Las Vegas hotel-casino. She will serve a year of probation and avoid a felony charge under the terms of a plea deal worked out with prosecutors after the 29-year-old celebrity heiress pleaded guilty Monday to drug possession and obstructing an officer. ...
(Sept. 1) -- After her arrest last Friday for cocaine possession, heiress Paris Hilton has been officially banned from two resorts on the Las Vegas strip, PEOPLE reports. A spokesperson for the Wynn and Encore resorts confirmed the ban to PEOPLE on Wednesday. Hilton, 29, was arrested in Las Vegas for possession of a controlled substance on Friday night. Police pulled over a car driven by her boyfriend, nightclub executive Cy Waits, after detecting marijuana coming from the vehicle. When a small container of cocaine was discovered in Hilton's purse, she was briefly detained at Clark County ...
LAS VEGAS (Aug. 30) - Paris Hilton had an explanation for police: The rolling papers, $1,300 in cash and several credit cards were hers, but not the purse they were in. And definitely not the bag of white powder that fell out of it. Believing it to be cocaine, an officer asked her who it belonged to. "She said she had not seen it but now thought it was gum," Las Vegas police Lt. Dennis Flynn wrote in a report made public on Monday. Hilton told police the purse belonged to a friend. But the friend was never identified. AFP / Getty Images This booking photo shows Paris Hilton after her ...
(Aug. 26) -- A comedian once pointed out that there's little humor in an ordinary person slipping on a banana peel, but we laugh hard when someone rich or pompous falls. Tiger Woods' tour of too many mistresses officially sank his marriage. LiLo's in and out of jail. Mel Gibson's domestic rants become public knowledge. Surely I'm not the only person who found a little sadistic pleasure in at least some of these world-changing news events. Blogger Ed Brayton, for one, feels exactly the same. The German term for this shameful pleasure is schadenfreude, finding joy in the misfortune of others. ...
(Aug. 12) -- Hair care may not traditionally be Surge Desk's forte, but today we'll give it a shot. And we will start -- as such a report must -- with a fully grown woman telling a teenager she will never amount to anything because of her tonsorial choice. The New Zealand Herald reports that Olivia O'Neil, the 15-year-old holder of New Zealand's probably prestigious Miss Teen Wanganui crown, was stripped of her title after only three months when pageant organizer Barbara Osborne spotted her new dye job in pictures on Facebook. When Osborne stipulated that O'Neil decide between her ...
(July 20) -- Actress Lindsay Lohan reported to Century Regional Detention Facility today to begin serving a jail sentence for violating the terms of her probation. An all-female facility in Lynwood, Calif., Century Regional Detention Facility has housed such notable personalities as Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie and Daryl Hannah. Indeed, this is the second time Lohan has set foot inside the jail walls, having been housed in a cell for a little over an hour in 2006 following her arrest on drunken driving charges. Possible Violence and Sexual Harassment Inmates at Century Regional Detention ...
(July 16) -- Any parent who's been forced to spend five minutes watching Barney, the purple dinosaur from hell, has prayed for a meteor to strike him down. But fictional characters can't die -- or can they? They do in Barry Nelson and Tom Schecker's new book, "Mr. Ed: Dead" (Sourcebooks), a collection of "obituaries of the most famous people who never lived." Barney is, thankfully, among the deceased. In the obituary titled "Extinction Claims Barney, the Purple Dinosaur," we learn that "his remains will be merrily deposited in the La Brea tar pits." Sourcebooks Barry Nelson and Tom ...
