Hilton's Hearing May 4

Paris Hilton was ordered Tuesday to appear in court May 4 for allegedly violating her probation in a reckless driving case by driving with a suspended driver’s license.

City prosecutors are seeking to revoke Hilton’s probation on grounds that she violated its conditions, which could result in a sentence of up to 90 days in jail.

In January, Hilton pleaded no contest to alcohol-related reckless driving stemming from a Sept. 7 arrest in Hollywood and was sentenced to 36 months’ probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines.

On Feb. 28, she was ticketed for misdemeanor driving with a suspended license after her car was pulled over on Sunset Boulevard. Police said they saw her car speeding with its headlights off.



Hilton, 26, wasn’t present for Tuesday’s hearing before Superior Court Judge Michael Sauer. The hearing was conducted almost entirely with lawyers at the bench speaking in hushed tones with the judge.

Outside court, Hilton’s attorney, Howard Weitzman, was asked whether the matter was close to being resolved. “It is,” he said without elaboration.

The prosecutor didn’t comment to reporters.

Hilton’s spokesman, Elliot Mintz, has said that at the time, Hilton wasn’t aware that her license had been suspended.

Your closet’s so shallow, it makes Paris look deep!

Paris Hilton is slammed in Manhattan Mini Storage ads that recently appeared on phone kiosks showing a Chihuahua who looks a lot like Tinkerbell with the slogan: “Your closet’s so shallow, it makes Paris look deep.” We brought this to the attention of Hilton publicist Elliot Mintz, who alerted her lawyer, Howard Weitzman, who fired off a “cease-and-desist” letter to the storage company - which is also getting blowback from Republicans for such ads as, “Your closet’s scarier than Bush’s agenda.”

Paris Hilton the Victim of Airport Theft

Paris Hilton is facing more legal drama, and this time it has nothing to do with last year's late-night munchies-fueled DUI arrest. The blond bobble head allegedly had personal items lifted from her luggage by a T.S.A. employee, reports TMZ.
The Los Angeles City Attorney's Office has filed misdemeanor theft charges against 10 airport employees suspected of stealing personal items from stars like Hilton and singer Keyshia Cole, reports the L.A. Times.
Hilton's overworked rep, Elliot Mintz, said his client was not aware of the charges. Because, like, keeping tracking of every measly piece of luggage is, like, so not hot.
