Paris To Give Post-Jail Interview...

A CNN rep confirms to Usmagazine.com that Paris Hilton has agreed to give her first post-jail television interview to Larry King this Wednesday night. The network tells Us the interview will be conducted over the entire hour of the program in the Larry King Live studio in Los Angeles and, according to a CNN source, "Paris will not be paid a dime for the interview."

CNN spokesperson Bridget Leininger also tells Us: "Larry doesn't tell us production details, but what I can tell you is that Larry does not pay for interviews and there are no ground rules."

The news that Hilton, who is scheduled to be released this Tuesday from the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, will share details of her 23-day incarceration with CNN - for free - comes just one day after a $1 million deal with NBC News reportedly fell through and after family friend Barbara Walters reportedly declined a personal request by Hilton that she conduct a paid interview for ABC. A $300,000 photo exclusive with People was also reportedly scrapped.

Hilton's interview on Larry King Live will air Wednesday at 9 p.m. E.T.

Paris Released From Jail.....

A smiling Paris Hilton walked out of a Los Angeles County jail early Tuesday, officially ending a bizarre, three-week stay that ignited furious debate over celebrity treatment in the jail system.

The 26-year-old celebutante was greeted by an enormous gathering of cameras and reporters upon leaving the all-women's facility in Lynwood about 15 minutes past midnight. She had checked into the Century Regional Detention Facility late June 3, largely avoiding the spotlight, after a surprise appearance at the MTV Movie Awards.

Hilton smiled and waved as she filed past deputies and the media, her blond hair pulled back in a braided ponytail. Her parents, Kathy and Rick, waited in a black SUV. Hilton hurried to the vehicle, where she hugged her mom through the window.

Hilton, who was wearing a sage jacket with white trim over a white shirt and skinny jeans, did not respond to reporters' questions.

"She fulfilled her debt. She was obviously in good spirits. She thanked people as she left," said sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore.

Photographers sprinted after Hilton's vehicle as she left. When the SUV hit a red light during the ride, photographers jumped out of their cars and swarmed it.

Hilton appeared to have gone to a family home in a ritzy Los Angeles canyon north of Sunset Blvd.

The hotel heiress will complete her probation in March 2009 as long as she keeps her driver's license current and doesn't break any laws. She can reduce that time by 12 months if she does community service that could include a public-service announcement, the city attorney's office has said.

During her stay at the Lynwood facility, Hilton was mostly confined to a solitary cell in the special needs unit away from the other 2,200 inmates.

After spending only three days there, she was released to home confinement by Sheriff Lee Baca for an unspecified medical condition that he later said was psychological.

The following day, Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer, who sentenced the hotel heiress, called her back into court and ordered her returned to jail, saying he had not condoned her release.

Hilton left the courtroom in tears calling for her mother and shouting, "It's not right!"

She was then taken to the downtown Twin Towers jail, which houses men and the county jail's medical treatment center, where she underwent medical and psychiatric exams to determine where she should be confined.

Hilton's stay there cost taxpayers $1,109.78 a day, more than 10 times the cost of housing inmates in the general population.

The move by Baca caused a firestorm of criticism over whether the celebrity was getting special treatment. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors has launched an investigation into whether the multimillionaire received special treatment because of her wealth and fame.

At least one person has filed a claim against the county alleging she "had serious medical issues" but was not treated as well as Hilton.

A few days into her stint at the Twin Towers medical ward, the heiress said in a phone call to Barbara Walters that she had a new outlook.

"I used to act dumb. It was an act. I am 26 years old, and that act is no longer cute," Hilton said during the call, according to an account posted June 11 by Walters on ABC's Web site.

"It is not who I am, nor do I want to be that person for the young girls who looked up to me," Hilton was quoted as saying.

Hilton's path to jail began Sept. 7, when she failed a sobriety test after police saw her weaving down a street in her car on what she said was a late-night run to a hamburger stand.

She pleaded no contest to reckless driving and was sentenced to 36 months' probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines.

In the months that followed, she was stopped twice by officers who discovered her driving with a suspended license. The second stop landed her in Sauer's courtroom, where he sentenced her to 45-days in jail. She was released after three weeks for reasons including good behavior.

Paris In A Party Mood !!!

Paris Hilton's Mom & Sis !!!

Paris Hilton may be in jail but her mother Kathy Hilton and sister Nicky Hilton were out today celebrating the star being given to Barbara Walters on the “Walk Of Fame”. Although they were all smiles, these two are still recovering from the aftershock of seeing Paris behind a glass wall and in a orange jumpsuit.

Kathy revealed to People magazine how hard it is to see her daughter for only “one hour a week: 30 minutes on Sunday and 30 minutes on Tuesday.” Kathy also revealed that Nicky was "left in hysterics," after seeing her sister. "Nicky tried to keep the brave face but – I never see Nicky cry."

Nicky is pretty upset over her sister’s situation and described her visit to the jail on Sunday as surreal. She said the entire scene felt like she was in a movie. Nicky also revealed she isn’t happy on what the media is saying in regards to her sister’s arrest. “What's annoying is all these people are going on television saying that she was drinking and driving. " "She's not in jail for DUI. That's a big misconception. She's in jail for driving on a suspended license, just like the D.A.'s wife was. ... She got a $186 fine."

Although Nicky is pissed off, her mother Kathy is hopeful that there is a good thing that will come out of this. “I always believe that where there's a negative there's a positive. And I feel that maybe this whole ordeal can shed light on other people, and that really maybe everybody should be treated exactly the same. I don't care who you are. As Paris said, she's just going to do her time and try to make the best of it, and hopefully" – she paused, chocking back emotion – "I always believe there's a reason for everything."

By now we have said this a million times, Paris is a tough cookie and will come out of this ordeal. She will do her thing and pretend that nothing ever happened. She will sell her diary for millions, do great interviews with TV shows and make headlines all over the papers. This by far is the best publicity stunt for her and if anyone can get away with this drama, it’s definitely her.

Paris Back To Jail.....

Paris Hilton's tumultuous week of being in jail, then out of jail and under house arrest, has come to an end. The heiress got a taste of the comforts of her own home for a little more than 24 hours before the judge sent her right back where she came -- jail.
Hilton was spotted crying when she was driven from her house to the court, and the crying continued in the courtroom. Despite both of her parents being there for support, she fought back tears throughout the entire proceedings. In addition, she was rocking back and forth and was visibly shaking.

Once Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer ordered her returned to jail to serve her entire 45-day sentence for a parole violation in a reckless driving case, Hilton completely broke down. Screaming and crying, she shouted "Mom!" and "It's not right!" She was helped physically from the room.

Hilton's Hectic Day

Hilton was picked up at her home by a black-and-white patrol car and driven to court in handcuffs.

The judge ordered the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department to get Hilton and bring her to court after a back-and-forth decision on whether or not she would physically show up in court. L.A. Superior Court Public Information Officer Allan Parachini said earlier in the day that Hilton would join the hearing via a conference call.

As police arrived at Hilton's Hollywood Hills home this morning, helicopters hovered overhead, and a band of Chihuahuas could be seen on her patio barking at all the action.

Will Paris Hilton Be Released From Jail ???

After only three days behind bars, Paris Hilton traded a 12 foot-by-8-foot (3.7-by-2.4-meter) cell for her 2,700-square-foot (251-sq. meter) Hollywood Hills home when she was released early Thursday because of an unspecified medical condition.

Hilton will be under home confinement, wearing an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet, for the remaining 40 days of her sentence for violating probation in a reckless driving case.

The celebrity inmate was sent home from the L.A. County jail's Lynwood lockup shortly after 2 a.m. in a stunning reduction to her original 45-day sentence.

No details were available on the nature of Hilton's medical condition. Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore refused to answer questions about whether it was physical or psychological. Hilton's lawyer and publicist did not return calls seeking comment.

"I can't specifically talk about the medical situation other than to say that yes, it played a part in this," Whitmore said at an early morning news conference outside the jail.

The decision to release Hilton was made by Sheriff Lee Baca, according to the Probation Department. A deputy at the sheriff's information bureau said there would be no comment.

Hilton's sentence was first cut from 45 to 23 days because of "good behavior." When she chose to serve her time under house arrest, the sentence reverted to the original 45 days. Although she spent only three days in jail, she was credited for five because she checked in late Sunday and left early Thursday, leaving her with 40 days.

On Sunday night, after a surprise red-carpet appearance at the MTV Movie Awards, Hilton surrendered to authorities with little fanfare.

"I am trying to be strong right now," she told reporters at the time. "I'm ready to face my sentence. Even though this is a really hard time, I have my family, my friends and my fans to support me, and that's really helpful."

Hilton was housed in the "special needs" unit of the 13-year-old jail, separate from most of its 2,200 inmates. The unit contains 12 two-person cells reserved for police officers, public officials, celebrities and other high-profile inmates. Hilton did not have a cellmate.

Like other inmates in the special-needs area, Hilton took meals in her cell and was allowed outside for at least an hour each day to shower, watch TV in the day room, participate in outdoor recreation or talk on the telephone.

When Hilton was sentenced May 4, Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer ruled she would not be allowed any work release, furloughs or use of an alternative jail or electronic monitoring in lieu of jail.

Whitmore said Thursday that Sauer "was consulted and he was advised" about her early release.

Noted civil rights advocate, the Rev. Al Sharpton, immediately denounced her release, saying it had "all of the appearances of economic and racial favoritism."

Although Sharpton said he has "nothing but empathy for Ms. Hilton," he doubted similar treatment would be offered to minorities or poor people.

"There are any number of cases of people who handled being incarcerated badly and even have health conditions that are not released," Sharpton said.

The 26-year-old hotel heiress' path to jail began Sept. 7, when she failed a sobriety test after police saw her weaving down a Hollywood street in her Mercedes. She pleaded no contest to reckless driving and was sentenced to 36 months' probation, alcohol education and $1,500 (€1,114) in fines.

On Jan. 15, she was pulled over by the California Highway Patrol. Informed that her license was suspended, Hilton signed a document acknowledging she was not to drive. Then, on Feb. 27, she was pulled over a third time, which led to her three-day incarceration.

Sweet Paris Hilton Pictures...

Paris' Cellmate Chosen.....

Police have selected the inmate, who will Paris Hilton’s cell mate for the next three weeks. As a matter of fact the selected inmate is also doing the sentence for reckless driving. The same offence for which Paris has been awarded three weeks imprisonment.

Sources have confirmed to TMZ that jailers were looking for someone who will not try to cash Hilton’s stay. The woman has already moved into the cell but her name is yet to be declared.

Jailers are conducting a through search to look for any hidden cameras, cellphones or other such devices that may leak Paris activities while she goes through her sentence.
A stern warning has also been issued to the jail staff asking them not to take her pix or they risk their job.

Well, authorities are trying their best to make Paris stay a low profile affair, but considering Hilton’s penchant to remain in limelight that would be a difficult task.

Paris' Grand Entry To The Jail.....

Paris Hilton has a grand entry planned for Tuesday when she reports to jail, insiders tell the New York Daily News. The newspaper reports that the heiress wants the media to see her looking her best.

"The timing is to make sure she makes all the celebrity weeklies," an insider tells the newspaper. "Paris is a genius at marketing herself. She managed to turn having a sex tape to her benefit, and she's going to do the same out of going to prison."

Sources say Hilton has ordered a glam squad (hair and make-up) to meet her at her Hollywood Hills home at 9 a.m. Monday, the day before she reports to jail.

But all this fuss is part of a grander plan apparently, sources say. "It's not just about marketing, it's about making money. If she can set up her entry into jail in a very grand way, the payoff will be greater."

Paris to start her sentence by Tuesday !!

Sheriff Lee Baca said Friday that Paris Hilton will not be allowed to give television interviews while serving her jail sentence and that aggressive steps were being taken to prevent cameras from being smuggled into the facility.

Hilton was ordered to begin her sentence by Tuesday at a county jail in Lynwood, about five miles south of Los Angeles.

Baca told the Los Angeles Times that deputies and jail employees have been told to treat the 26-year-old heiress like any other inmate.

"Paying a debt to society should not be an element of her celebrity," Baca said. "Her occupation is publicity, but no one should profit in jail."

Hilton could report to jail before Tuesday, but as of Friday afternoon had not done so, said sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore. She may report at any time of day, said Whitmore.

Hollywood photo agencies expect a photo of Hilton in jail would be worth big money.

"The reality is why don't they just let her walk down the concrete carpet," said Frank Griffin, co-owner of the Bauer-Griffin paparazzi agency, told the paper. "This is going to be turned into an event like the Oscars."

Hilton was sentenced last month to 45 days for violating the terms of her probation in an alcohol-related reckless-driving case after repeatedly driving her car while her license was suspended.

Sheriff's officials have said she will serve about 23 days behind bars because of state rules allowing shorter sentences for good behavior.

Baca said it was unclear whether Hilton will surrender at the court where she was sentenced or report straight to jail. He said authorities will not allow her to "be seen in handcuffs ... or in the back of a police car, forlorn and in handcuffs."

Once there, Hilton will go through the normal intake process, said Baca. That involves undergoing an interview by jail staff and evaluations for any medical or other needs.

"Jails are not circuses and not places where 'fun' is the priority," Baca said. "Jail should be a corrective learning experience."

The jail houses about 2,200 women, but officials have said Hilton will be kept away from the general population. Baca said no decision has been made about whether she'll share a cell with anyone.

Hilton will "experience her incarceration as all other women will experience it," said Baca. "She won't get better food, she won't get different lockup time or a different environment."
