About to take off. Going home now. So dissappointed to miss my fans in Asia. I promise to come back soon. I love you all! Love Paris xoxoThis is awesome on so many levels. We're officially even for that whole Pearl Harbor thing, Japan. Why don't you guys come to my barbecue this weekend?
A source close to Paris tells us she flew to Japan on business and was questioned by immigration authorities as she got off the plane. Immigration authorities are allowing Paris to stay at an airport hotel until the matter is resolved. For her part, Paris hasn't decided whether to stay or leave.A business trip? Is the pink bag with her face on it where she keeps all of her important documents? "Jeeves, can you do me a favor and get the Q1 inflation-adjusted revenue numbers from the Toyota licensing deal? I think they're in the pink bag with my face on it."
Paris' rep tells TMZ, "Paris Hilton was delayed by immigration authorities at a Japanese airport this evening after arriving for business obligations planned many months earlier. Paris was contractually bound to her business trip and didn't want to let down her brands and many Asian fans."
An employee at the Consulate-General of Japan in NYC tells TMZ ... Japan is strict about letting people into the country with recent drug convictions but these matters are handled "on a case by case basis."
Paris' rep added ... she will fulfill her contract but right now things are beyond her control.
Clark County District Attorney David Roger says the celebrity socialite has agreed to plead guilty Monday to drug possession and obstructing an officer in Las Vegas Justice Court under the terms of a plea deal worked out with prosecutors after her Aug. 27 arrest.Of course Paris is getting away with it -- she's rich. If any if us had been caught with cocaine in our possession, we'd be choking on our cellmate Bubba's man meat by now. It just goes to show you that if you're rich and famous, society's rules don't apply to you. It also goes to show you that if you're Clay Aiken, you're going to have to work a little harder to fulfill that jailhouse fantasy of yours. I'd recommend murder. Caught on tape. Of the judge's spouse.
Hilton will serve a year of unsupervised probation and complete a drug abuse program under the plea agreement. She originally faced a felony cocaine possession charge.
In mid-July, Paris Tweeted a photograph of a purse and wrote: "Love My New Chanel Purse I Got Today :)" That purse appears to be identical to the purse she was carrying when arrested on cocaine possession charges in Las Vegas last weekend.It's definitely the same purse she was carrying when she was arrested (pic here). I'm sure Judge Joe M. Bonaventure Jr. is going to love these pictures. He's the judge who handled the arraignment and preliminary hearing for O.J. Simpson when he was charged with -- and ultimately convicted of -- armed robbery and kidnapping in 2007. In other words, he helped send O.J. to prison for the rest of his life. He might as well have pulled the Sword out of the Stone. Paris Hilton is going to be nothing to this guy.
"Because Vegas nightclubs are under so much scrutiny right now, I don't know how welcome she would be," says a club executive who has booked Hilton, 29, to host parties. "Considering she's busted for cocaine, people might assume that she's going to the club either to use coke or she's already on coke, and no club wants to be associated with that."Right. Because no one else at any Vegas nightclub is doing coke. The only things getting blown more than cocaine in those clubs are professional athletes. Of course, if these hotels are going to stop allowing drugs into their clubs, they're going to have to do what they usually do to keep their patrons up all night with no concept of time or money -- install blackjack tables.
In Nevada, liquor licenses are closely watched by gambling regulators, and violations can be severe. Recently the Gaming Control Board shut down a Las Vegas nightclub because of several infractions, including drugs allegedly being used on the premises.
"[Las Vegas District Attorney David] Roger won't tolerate celebrities coming to Las Vegas and thinking they can get away with illegal behavior," the source close to the case told RadarOnline.com. "It's going to be extremely difficult for Paris to get out of these charges, even with the brilliant legal skills of her lawyer, David Chesnoff."It just goes to show you how fucked up Los Angeles is when a D.A. outside the city who actually does his job (i.e. he doesn't selectively enforce laws based on how many entries you have on your IMDB page) is viewed as some kind of crime-fighting superhero. And it's not like L.A.'s getting any better. How do you fix a broken criminal justice system? You don't. Hell, I live in San Diego and even I'm hoping Southern California breaks off into the sea during the next big earthquake.
Roger is running for reelection and has a record of high-profile victories in the legal arena.
“This is a high profile case, right before a very important election, and it's very likely that there will be no plea bargaining down of these charges," said the source.
E! News has exclusively learned from multiple sources that Waits was fired from his position as head of nightclub operations for Wynn and Encore properties shortly after the couple's Las Vegas arrest. Waits was charged with driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Hilton was rung up on a cocaine-possession count.What an idiot -- this guy had to know something bad was going to happen if he dated Paris Hilton. Of course he probably thought it would involve a lot of itching and not a trip to the unemployment line. The bottom line is that going out with Paris Hilton is kind of like breaking a mirror. Except, you don't get bad luck for seven years -- you get a rash.
Steve Wynn had just promoted Waits and twin brother Jesse to the high-profile gig Wednesday, but he was promptly dismissed just hours after being jailed.
"Wynn has a zero-tolerance policy with their club execs when it comes to brushes with the law," said one Las Vegas insider.
After the traffic stop and a crowd of 100 people gathered around, Hilton said she was "extremely embarrassed" and asked the cop if she could go to the bathroom at the Wynn Hotel.There is literally no way Paris could have handled this worse. A normal (read: non-retarded) person -- realizing that she had cocaine on her possession -- would have immediately hailed a cab home to take them far far away from where the twelve uniformed men with handcuffs in their back pockets and an extensive knowledge of the criminal justice code were arresting her boyfriend. But Paris isn't a normal person so of course she didn't do that. And now she's facing almost half-a-decade in jail. It'd be like if you were standing in front of two doors -- one with the words "Yellow Cab" printed on it and the other with "Prison Rape" -- and you walked through the "Prison Rape" door.
At the hotel, Paris told the cop she needed lip balm so the cop handed Paris her purse: "As she began to open it, I saw a small bindle of what I believed to be cocaine in a clear baggie begin to fall from the purse and into my hand."
The cop also says ... inside the purse was a "broken tablet of Albuterol" -- a prescription medication used to control wheezing. And cops say they found Zig Zag wrappers ... commonly used to roll joints.
Paris then admitted the Albuterol was hers but she said the cocaine was not and claimed the purse was not hers -- that she had borrowed it from a friend. The cop questioned Paris about the cocaine and according to cops Paris gave an odd answer: "She said she had not seen it, but now thought it was gum."
