As Paris Hilton was checking into jail early Monday morning her brother, Barron, was being mugged at knifepoint in New York City. At around 4 a.m. 17-year-old Barron and his five underage friends were turned away from New York hotspot Stereo. According to a witness:

"An hour later, two security guards from Stereo were driving by Penn Station on their way home and they saw Barron and his friends. Then they saw two muggers confronting the group, and they all got out. One had a knife and was trying to get money out of the kids. One guy had Barron at knifepoint, and the guards got out and chased away the guy with the knife. The attackers didn't get any money." (Source)

Wait a minute, Paris Hilton has an 18-year-old brother who hasn't died of shame? Well knock me over with a feather. Lemme see here Paris Hilton's sex tape was released in 2004 when Barron was roughly a freshman in high school. Ouch, and I thought I had it bad after my older sister was arrested for "servicing" truckers at that rest stop. Ahh crap, that's actually way worse.
