Paris Hilton's going to jail. On Friday, a judge for the
Los Angeles Superior Court ordered Paris to spend 45 days
behind bars starting on June 5th. Paris was accused of driving
on a suspended license in February. She had been under probation
after pleading no contest to a DUI last year. During the hearing,
Paris said she didn't know her license had been suspended
when she was pulled over for driving without headlights in
late February. She blamed it on her rep, Elliot Mintz, who
she claims told her that she could drive for work purposes.
Paris and Mintz have parted ways since the sentence was handed
down Friday. The good news for Paris is that she'll be staying
in the same jail as former "Lost" star Michelle
Rodriguez. The actress was slated to spend 60 days behind
bars, but was released within hours due to overcrowding.
Paris Hilton is making the sensational claim that the police
pull her over with the express purpose of hitting on her,
not citing her.
In an interview given before she was sentenced to 45 days
in jail last Friday, Paris tells Harper's Bazaar that policemen
routinely stop her and ask, "What's your phone number?
Want to go out to dinner?" Paris says she finds the alleged
accosting "annoying." "I think I get in trouble
because of who I am," says Paris.

life - retirement may be in the cards. "I have a feeling
this may be it for him," she told the L.A. Times. "I
know this because he just told me."

It seems a dirty dancing encounter may have cost Akon his
tour sponsorship with Verizon Wireless. The singer recently
