Paris Whitney Hilton
born: 17-02-1981
birth place: New York, USA

On May 4, 2007 Hilton was sentenced by Judge Michael T. Sauer to 45 days in jail for violating her probation. On June 3, 2007, after attending the 2007 MTV Movie Awards, Hilton reported to the Men's Central Jail of the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles. From there, she was transferred by authorities to a special section "reserved for police officers, public officials, celebrities and other high-profile inmates" in Lynwood.

Three days later, LA County Sheriff Lee Baca signed orders reassigning Hilton to 40 days of home confinement with an electronic monitoring device due to an unspecified medical condition. However, the same day Hilton was released from jail, Judge Sauer ordered her to reappear back in his court the following morning (June 8) as the sentencing statement had explicitly said she would serve time in jail with "No work furlough. No work release. No electronic monitoring".

"It's not right!"
- Hilton's reaction after being sent back to jail.

At the hearing he declined to be briefed by Hilton's lawyer in private chambers on the nature of her condition and sent her back to jail to serve out her original 45-day sentence. Upon hearing the sentence, Hilton shouted, "It's not right!" and started screaming requesting to hug her mother. She was later moved to the medical wing of the Twin Towers Correctional Facility.

The socialite was finally released from jail on June 26, 2007. In total Hilton had served 22 days in detention, counting her day-long home confinement. She later described her experience as traumatic and pledged to cut down on her 'superficial' life of partying and use her fame to create a halfway house for her fellow inmates.

Paris Hilton has had quite a few ups and downs in her love-life too. She has been linked romantically with several high-profile men, including male fashion model Jason Shaw, to whom she was briefly engaged in 2002. In May 2005, she announced her engagement to Paris Latsis, the heir to a Greek shipping fortune. They split soon after and she began dating Stavros Niarchos III, who was also the heir to a Greek shipping dynasty. In July 2006, Hilton announced in the world’s press that she was going to remain celibate for one full year! “Every time I have a boyfriend, I’m just so romantic, and I put all my energy into the guy”, she told reporters. Inevitably she was snapped by the Hollywood paparazzi kissing Brandon Davis a short while later.
