Khloe Kardashian ‘Learned A Good Lesson’ In Jail

Reality star Khloe Kardashian has said that she’s “learned a very, very good lesson” about drink driving, after serving three hours behind bars in a Los Angeles jail last Friday (July 18).

The 24-year-old revealed to Ryan Seacrest on his radio show that during her short stay in the Lynwood women’s facility, the jail received a bomb threat.

“They put me in solitary confinement and the warden came down to talk to me and said, ‘You’re the one causing all the problems here,” Kardashian explained.

“‘There are all these bomb threats, and we think they’re because of you.’”

The star of ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashian’s’ was sentenced to 30 days behind bars on July 3 for failing to complete the terms of her probation, stemming from a 2007 arrest for DUI.

Richie Gets 4 Days Jail!

nicole richie gets 4 days jailNicole Richie just got 4 days in the clink for her second DUI conviction.

She pleaded guilty as expected and was also fined $2048, and ordered back to school for 21 days to an alcohol education course. She must start serving her time by September 28th.

Nicole is also due to give birth to her first child sometime in January, which is quite funny considering she most probably fell pregnant to avoid a lengthy jail sentence.

So now I guess she got pregnant for nothing.

Stopped in the Nicky of time

nicky hilton in the nick of timePals say Nicky Hilton wasn't thrilled her business trip to Greece was cut short by the liberation of Paris.

"Her parents dragged her back because they didn't think it would be good for the family's image if they didn't show a united front," says a snitch.

"She loves her sister, but she thinks the whole media circus is ridiculous."


Nicky was in Greece for a fashion show with boyfriend David Katzenberg. She arrived driving his car at her grandparents' house at 10 p.m. Tuesday "looking really annoyed," says a witness.

Paris Hilton Released From Jail

paris_hilton_free_from_jailParis Hilton left jail Tuesday after a bizarre, three-week stay in which the hotel heiress was briefly released to her Hollywood Hills home, then sent screaming and crying back to a county lockup.

The 26-year-old celebutante walked out of the all-women's jail in Lynwood to an enormous horde of cameras and reporters after midnight. She had checked into the jail, largely avoiding the spotlight, late June 3 after a surprise appearance at the MTV Movie Awards.

Hilton smiled as she left the jail, her blonde hair pulled back in a ponytail. Her parents, Kathy and Rick, met her in a black SUV as cameras snapped pictures and Hilton, wearing a gold blouse with white trim over a white shirt and black slacks, waved to the crowd.

She didn't say anything, and it wasn't immediately clear where she was going.

"She fulfilled her debt. She was obviously in good spirits. She thanked people as she left," said sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore.

Hilton will complete her probation in March 2009 as long as she keeps her driver's license current and doesn't break any laws. She can reduce that time by 12 months if she does community service that could include a public-service announcement, the city attorney's office has said.

Hilton began her 45-day sentence for violating her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case. She was mostly confined to a solitary cell in the special needs unit away from the other 2,200 inmates.

She spent only three days there and was released with electronic monitoring by Sheriff Lee Baca for an unspecified medical condition that he later said was psychological. The following day Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer, who sentenced the hotel heiress, called her back into court and ordered her returned to jail, saying he had not condoned her release.

Hilton left the courtroom in tears calling for her mother and shouting, "It's not right!"

She was then taken to the downtown Twin Towers jail, which houses men and the county jail's medical treatment center, where she underwent medical and psychiatric exams to determine where she should be confined.

Hilton's stay there cost taxpayers $1,109.78 a day, more than 10 times the cost of housing inmates in the general population.

The move by Baca caused a firestorm of criticism over whether the celebrity was getting special treatment. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors has launched an investigation into whether the multimillionaire received special treatment because of her wealth and fame.

At least one person has filed a claim against the county alleging she "had serious medical issues" but was treated much worse than Hilton.

A few days into her stint at the Twin Towers medical ward, the heiress revealed in a phone call to Barbara Walters a new outlook on life.

"I used to act dumb. It was an act. I am 26 years old, and that act is no longer cute," Hilton said during the call, according to an account posted June 11 by Walters on ABC's Web site.

"It is not who I am, nor do I want to be that person for the young girls who looked up to me," Hilton was quoted as saying.

Hilton's path to jail began Sept. 7, when she failed a sobriety test after police saw her weaving down a street in her Mercedes-Benz on what she said was a late-night run to a hamburger stand.

She pleaded no contest to reckless driving and was sentenced to 36 months' probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines.

In the months that followed, she was stopped twice by officers who discovered her driving with a suspended license. The second stop landed her in Sauer's courtroom, where he sentenced her to jail.

Paris Set To Do Larry King

paris hilton set to do larry kingParis Hilton will be walking amongst us once again on Tuesday. The Sheriff's spokeswhore confirmed the date, but would not confirm the time. It is expected to be a surprise to fool the paparazzi. Yeah right!

The Hilton family is probably sending off e-mails right now to name the time, place, exact directions, etc.... They love this. Paris will also give her first interview to Larry King and CNN.


Sources report she will not be paid a dime and the interview will go down on Wednesday at Larry's studio in Los Angeles. Rumor has it that NBC pulled the plug on their planned interview and that Barbara Walters declined to give the first interview, because the family wanted to be paid.

Does Larry even know who Paris is? I really hope he effs up and calls her Zsa Zsa Gabor. That would be hilarious. He better have tissues ready, because you just know she's going to turn on the waterworks.

Paris Pay Day Cancelled

paris hilton payday cancelledNBC has now canceled their $1 million interview with paris Hilton, most likely from the pressure of the entire world calling them ass clowns. No official reason was given, but NBC is backtracking and saying they never sealed the deal on the interview to begin with, so there was nothing really there to cancel.

Clearly they're just trying to cover their asses now. They obviously wanted the interview and were willing to pay $1 million for it, and then the internet exploded with anger and they backed down.

Paris Set for 1 million Pay Day

paris hilton one million dollar paydayOne million dollars is what Paris Hilton is expected to pocket when she sits down with the Today show for her first post-prison interview.

She’ll chat with Meredith Vieira almost as soon as she gets out, says the Post, spurning the good graces of ABC which has seen Barbara Walters spewing incessantly about the jailbird’s positive attributes.



Meanwhile, as Brian Montopoli notes, this was NBC News VP Bill Wheatley talking to the NYT in 2003: “We don’t want there to be confusion on this overall policy: that we don’t pay for interviews.”

Paris Out of Jail After Only 72 Hours?

paris hilton out of jail early
Paris Hilton is out of Jail after serving only 72hours out of her original 45 days sentence.

She was early Thursday because of an unspecified medical problem and will fulfill the reminder of her sentence in home confinement, a sheriff's spokesman said.


The 26-year-old hotel heiress was sent home shortly after 2 a.m. fitted with an electronic monitoring bracelet. She had spent five days at the Century Regional Detention Facility in suburban Los Angeles for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

"I can't specifically talk about the medical situation other than to say that, yes, it played a part in this," said sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore.

Hilton had been sentenced to 45 days behind bars, but had been expected to serve 23 days because of state rules allowing shorter sentences for good behavior.

Whitmore said that under the new agreement, Hilton would be confined to her home for 40 days.

"Because she has agreed to this through her attorney, her sentence is now back up to the 45 days. She has served already five days so that's 40 days," he explained.

Hilton checked into the Century Regional Detention Facility just after 11:30 p.m. Sunday. She had surrendered to authorities with little fanfare after a surprise appearance at the MTV Movie Awards, where she worked the red carpet in a strapless designer gown.

"I am trying to be strong right now," she told reporters at the time. "I'm ready to face my sentence. Even though this is a really hard time, I have my family, my friends and my fans to support me, and that's really helpful."

Hilton was housed in the "special needs" unit of the 13-year-old jail, separate from most of its 2,200 inmates. The unit contains 12 two-person cells reserved for police officers, public officials, celebrities and other high-profile inmates. She didn't have a cellmate.

After she checked in Sunday, Whitmore said Hilton's demeanor was helpful.

"She was focused; she was cooperative," he said.

Hilton's lawyer, Richard A. Hutton, said Monday after his client's first night in jail that she was doing well under the circumstances.

"She's using this time to reflect on her life, to see what she can do to make the world better and hopefully, in my opinion, to change the attitudes that exist about her among many people," Hutton said after visiting Hilton.

The 13-year-old jail, a two-story concrete building next to train tracks and beneath a bustling freeway, has been an all-female facility since March 2006. It's located in an industrial area about 12 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles.

When she was sentenced May 4, Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer ruled that she would not be allowed any work release, furloughs or use of an alternative jail or electronic monitoring in lieu of jail.

Officers arrested Hilton in Hollywood on Sept. 7. In January, she pleaded no contest to the reckless-driving charge and was sentenced to 36 months' probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines.

She was pulled over by California Highway Patrol on Jan. 15. Officers informed Hilton she was driving on a suspended license and she signed a document acknowledging she was not to drive. She then was pulled over by sheriff's deputies on Feb. 27, at which time she was charged with violating probation.

Paris In Jail

paris hilton in jailHeiress Paris Hilton has begun serving her Los Angeles jail sentence for violating probation, just hours after working the red capet at the MTV Movie Awards. The Simple Life star made a quick change out of her glamorous party frock and surrendered herself to the Los Angeles County Jail early, in a bid to avoid being seen by the paparazzi.

Her attorney Richard A. Hutton said in a statement: "Paris Hilton has turned herself in to begin serving her sentence for violating probation at a Los Angeles County Jail located in Lynwood, California."

Also quoted was the 26-year-old hotels heiress as saying: "This is an important point in my life and I need to take responsibility for my actions. In the future, I plan on taking more of an active role in the decisions I make... Although I am scared, I am ready to begin my jail sentence."

It said Hutton picked up at Hilton at her parents' house at 10:30 p.m, and drove to the Men's Central Jail in downtown Los Angeles, where she surrendered to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. From there, she was driven to the jail in Lynwood. Hilton's spokesman, Elliot Mintz, declined comment, saying he was awaiting word from the sheriff's department. A sheriff's official declined to confirm if Hilton had begun her sentence.

Paris Goes To Jail 72 Hours!

paris hilton goes to jail soonParis Goes To Jail in just 72 Hours! And we're told she's getting ready for her closeup.

Sources say the jail-bound heiress has ordered a hair and makeup team to meet her at her Hollywood Hills home at 9 a.m. Monday. It's understood that the glamorous inmate-to-be plans to turn the perp walk into a catwalk, and she wants the media to see her looking her best.


"The timing is to make sure she makes all the celebrity weeklies," an insider says.

"Paris is a genius at marketing herself. She managed to turn having a sex tape to her benefit, and she's going to do the same out of going to prison."

But the pal observes: "It's not just about marketing, it's about making money. If she can set up her entry into jail in a very grand way, the payoff will be greater."

Hilton is also said to have decided to write a prison diary during her 23-day sentence, for publication upon release.

"Paris' prison diary will make a more dramatic read than Martha Stewart's," says someone with knowledge of her business dealings, "If she can make it believable, and not exaggerate too much, she might expect to make a million dollars out of it."

Look for Paris' star turn to be of the high-fashion variety, like Naomi Campbell's community service for assaulting her maid earlier this year, or Lil' Kim being released from prison in 2006 after serving time for perjury and conspiracy for lying to a grand jury. Whatever Paris has up her sleeve, it's sure to be a far cry from the performance by a dour-looking Winona Ryder, who humbly reported to court in 2002 on grand theft and vandalism charges stemming from a shoplifting arrest.

"Paris doesn't do contrite very well," says the source, "She will be glam, and Paris is the queen of the prop. Expect her hair pulled back in a ponytail, big sunglasses and maybe a Holy Bible under one arm. And she just got a new kitten, so maybe she'll hand that to her sister [Nicky] as she gets out of the car."

Adds the insider: "There might even be tears."


Hahaha Paris isn’t fooling anyone. Yeah there’ll definitely be tears alright, especially that first night all alone and cold in her concrete cell – let alone when others eventually figure out where they’re hiding her in the facility and go out of their way to “make her feel at home”.

Hilton's Jail Term Cut To 23 Days

paris hilton gets 23 daysLOS ANGELES, Paris Hilton will serve about half of her 45-day jail sentence and will be separated from the general inmate population, authorities said Wednesday.

The hotel heiress will spend about 23 days in a "special needs housing unit" at the Century Regional Detention Center in suburban Lynwood, Los Angeles County sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said.



Her sentence was shortened after jail officials gave her credit for good behavior, Whitmore said. Officials considered several factors in calculating the credit, including that she appeared for her latest court date, he said.

Hilton will stay in a unit that contains 12 two-person cells reserved for police officers, public officials, celebrities and other high-profile inmates, he said.

Like everyone else in the 2,200-inmate facility, Hilton will get at least an hour outside her cell each day to shower, watch television, participate in outdoor recreation or talk on the telephone, he said.

The 26-year-old socialite was sentenced to jail this month for violating the terms of her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case. A judge ordered her to report to jail by June 5.

A call to her lawyer, DUI specialist Richard Hutton, was not immediately returned. Her publicist, Elliot Mintz, declined to comment.
