Hysterical Paris Hilton Ordered Back to Jail

Just one day after sheriff's officials released her to house arrest, L.A. Superior Court Judge ordered Hilton to return to the Century Regional Detention Facility in suburban Lynwood. The judge also ruled that Hilton will have to serve the remainder of her 45-day sentence in the jail facility. The order is final.

Following the decision, Hilton was escorted from the courtroom by two deputies as she screamed, “Mom! Mom! Mom! It's not right.” And later driven back to jail, trailed by news helicopters.

Celebrity Web site TMZ.com said Hilton's lawyer was planning to appeal her sentence. TMZ also reported that she would probably spend the weekend in a medical facility at a city jail. Officials could not confirm that. [REUTERS]

Paris Hilton Released From Jail. Not Fair!

The Internet is abuzz over what sort of undisclosed medical condition could have allowed Paris Hilton to be released from jail today, less than four days into her 23-day sentence.

The 26-year-old hotel Hilton Hotel heiress was originally sentenced to 45 days in prison for violating probation after being caught driving with a suspended license. That term was later reduced to 23 days.

Hilton must now serve 40 days of house arrest. She will have to wear an electronic monitoring device on her ankle to ensure she stays home during that period. [MP3.com]

Yipe! Paris Hilton is Going to Jail!

A Los Angeles judge stunned Hollywood Friday afternoon by sentencing Paris Hilton to jail for 45 days for violating her probation. The judge, saying "there's no doubt she knew her license had been suspended," ruled that she was in violation of the terms of her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

"We're confident we have sufficient evidence to prove that her license was suspended and that she had knowledge of that suspension," said Nick Velasquez, a spokesman for the city attorney's office.

An emotional Paris, with tears welling up in her eyes, told the judge moments before the decision "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Witnesses inside the courtroom say that Paris' parents, Rick and Kathy Hilton, were both visibly upset as the sentence was handed down. Kathy, we're told, was especially distraught.

Paris will serve her sentence at the Century Regional Detention Facility (CRDF). She will begin her sentence on June 5. If Hilton fails to report on the scheduled date, her sentence will be doubled. [Source]

Gisele Bundchen Leaving Victoria's Secret

After 7 years, Gisele Bundchen is reportedly stepping down as lead angel for the lingerie giant because they refuse to increase her $5 million-a-year salary. Her sister confirmed that contract talks had broken down and a source says:

"Her demands were outrageous. She got a new lawyer who was unrealistic. Victoria's Secret doesn't care. They have five new hotter, younger girls debuting next year. And they won't have to deal with any craziness."

Reps for Bundchen didn't return e-mails. A rep for Victoria's Secret declined comment. [NYPost]
