Hilton's Drunk-Driving Arraignment Postponed

Paris Hilton's arraignment on drunk-driving charges has been postponed until December at the request of her attorney.

The singer/socialite was originally scheduled to be arraigned on Thursday on charges she was driving under the influence with a blood-alcohol level of at least 0.08 percent.

According to city attorney spokesman Nick Velasquez, it's not unusual for a first court date to be postponed to a later time.

The arraignment is now scheduled for December 5 in Los Angeles Superior Court. Hilton is not required to appear.
The 25-year-old was arrested on September 7 after leaving a Hollywood party and driving to In-N-Out for a hamburger.
If convicted, she could be sentenced to six months in jail and fined $1,000.

How Generous Is Paris?

When you've got it, flaunt it... it's a saying we're quite fond of here at Showbiz HQ.

And, for once, we're not talking about the revealing outfits some celebs like to parade around in.
Nope, it's more heart-warming than that.
It might be presumed that Paris Hilton has a fair bit of cash in her piggy bank.
But she doesn't just keep it all to herself...

When a homeless man in Hollywood cheekily asked her for $100, she was happy to splash said cash.

Apparently, he dashed up to the socialite's car as she was leaving a McDonald's.
McDonald's? Oh, the life of a multi-millionairess starlet...

According to TMZ.com, the homeless man dropped his request to a modest $1, but it seems Ms Hilton was in a generous mood.
A source at the scene said: "Paris reached down beside her and handed the man a crumpled $100 bill.
"She then stopped to pose for pictures with the homeless guy, who offered to wash her windows, before racing off."

Paris Hilton: Barker-ing mad

Paris Hilton has been caught "making out" with former Blink 182 rocker Travis Barker.

The pair were first spotted getting intimate at New York's lavish Butter club on Monday (11.09.06), but carried on their canoodling on at celebrity hangout Marquee, in Manhattan, on Tuesday night (12.09.06).

An onlooker said: "They were all over each other."Paris' spokesperson has not denied she is dating Travis, saying: "Paris is single right now. You may in the future see her in the company of other men."The 'House of Wax' actress recently revealed she had broken her vow of celibacy - after less than a month.

The hotel heiress had a bet with a group of friends, nicknamed the "single girls club", to see who could last the longest without sex. She lost the wager after reportedly spending the night with Travis earlier this month.However, Shanna Moakler - who is in the process of divorcing Travis - is not impressed by her soon-to-be-ex-husband's antics.She explained to People magazine: "When I first heard of the situation I felt betrayed, but... I've decided not to exacerbate the situation by commenting on each new aspect of Travis' personal life."

Paris Hilton arrested for drunken driving

Celebrity Paris Hilton was arrested in Hollywood early today on suspicion of drink driving, but her publicist says she'd only had one drink.

Los Angeles police pulled the hotel heiress over and tested her for intoxication after seeing her drive erratically, Los Angeles police officer Robert Andreno told Reuters.
"She was arrested so, yes, she failed the sobriety test," said Andreno.
Los Angeles police spokeswoman Marjan Mobasser said Hilton was stopped by traffic officers in the Hollywood area around 1am.

Hilton, the 25-year-old heiress to the Hilton hotel and real estate dynasty, has achieved celebrity through saturation media coverage of her hard-partying lifestyle and a growing number of television appearances.
Her publicist Elliot Mintz, who picked up his client from the police station, said Hilton was affected more than usual by the one drink she had because it was "one drink on an empty stomach after a full day's work".
"It's the absolute minimum amount of alcohol in your system that would justify an arrest," he told reporters.
Mintz said Hilton's day started at 4.30am for the second day of a music video shoot for new album Paris. In the evening, she went to a charity event in Hollywood and had a drink without eating dinner, Mintz said.
He said Kimberly Stewart, the daughter of rocker Rod Stewart, was in Hilton's Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren sports car when she was pulled over.

Mintz said Hilton regretted the arrest but had not decided if she would contest the allegation until she spoke with her lawyers.
Hilton is best known for her hit reality show The Simple Life and for a sex video that showed up on the internet.

Earlier this year a judge ordered Hilton to stay away from a Los Angeles party planner who accused her of bombarding him with angry phone calls, shoving him and threatening his life.
Hilton's arrest follows the highly publicised case of actor Mel Gibson, who ignited a furor in July when he embarked on an anti-Semitic rant when he was stopped for speeding.
Gibson was placed on probation for three years last month after pleaded no contest to a drink driving charge.

Hilton diddled by prank

SOME Paris Hilton fans in Britain may have got more -- or less -- than they bargained for when they bought her debut album.

HMV has pulled from shelves several copies of Hilton's Paris album that have been doctored by British prankster Banksy.
They show a topless image of the celebrity heiress and a picture in which she sports the head of a dog.
A sticker promotes the "hits" Why am I Famous? What Have I Done? and What Am I For?
Instead of Hilton's perky pop, the CD features 40 minutes of remixed music by a musician identified only as DM.
Banksy's spokeswoman said the artist had planted 500 copies of the altered album across Britain.

Banksy, who remains anonymous, has surreptitiously hung fake artworks in major galleries in New York, Paris and London, and displayed a rock painting of a spear-toting man pushing a shopping cart in the British Museum in London.
