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.

Atiana's mother is former Dancing with the Stars contestant Shanna Moakler. Corretjer said this wouldn't be the only big news in the fighter's life - retirement may be in the cards.
