For the second time in a month, Paris Hilton was mentioned in the same sentence as “arrested” and “drugs”. The first time was in South Africa a few weeks ago, when (maybe) a member of her entourage was smoking weed in public, and (maybe) took the fall for Paris. This weekend’s situation was on Friday night, in Corsica. Paris Hilton arrived on a private jet and when police checked out her handbag, they found a gram of cannabis. But wait! This story gets strange:
AJACCIO, France — American socialite Paris Hilton was briefly held by police on the French island of Corsica after being caught with cannabis in her handbag, according to police sources.
Hilton was detained after arriving at the airport in Figari on a private jet from Paris on Friday. Police found less than a gram of cannabis in her handbag, and released her soon afterwards without charge.
According to Corse-Matin newspaper, Hilton was travelling on the private jet with “people close to power in Malaysia”, and was due to travel by yacht to the luxury resort of Porto Cervo in Sardinia, Italy.
The incident is the American’s second brush with the law this month. The 29-year-old was arrested during the World Cup in South Africa after a friend she was with took a joint to the Brazil-Netherlands quarter-final match in Port Elizabeth.
A darling of the tabloids, Hilton, the great-granddaughter of the Hilton hotel chain’s founder, shot to fame in 2003 when her boyfriend leaked a video of their sexual escapades on the Internet.

“People close to power in Malaysia”? Is Paris attempting some kind of… viral coup d’etat? In Corsica? I don’t get it. But anyway, Paris already tweeted her denial: “Just to put an end to these rumors. The stories saying I have been arrested are completely false! Am having the best vacation of my life! What an amazing summer! I feel so blessed and grateful for everything. I Love Life!!” Ugh. But she had more bullsh-t to say too:

Blah. Whatever. Is Paris trying to “pull a Lindsay” and go back to jail for some attention? Or does she just think we’re as stupid as she is, and we’ll believe that having pot in her handbag somehow equals “totally innocent”? God, I wish Texas could get ahold of her. Can we find something for her to do in Texas? And then “someone” can call in a tip about her drugs, okay?

Anything to get more press time huh?
Welcome back to the phrase, “I can’t even get arrested!”. Yeah, Paris, of course you’re loving life. You’re rich and HIGH.
She won’t be serving a partial sentence in Texas that’s for sure….
If they can only put her in a prison like the ones in “Lockdown” I bet she won’t be strutting around saying ‘that’s hot’ flashing a peace sign there. I wonder if they can put the Kardashians there as well?
I’ve seen and smelled Paris Hilton’s weed (in April, in Vegas) and though I don’t care at all for the girl, I’m more jealous than angry that she, unlike the rest of us, can flout a stupid law like marijuana prohibition.
what the hell is she wearing? that outfit looks like some jersey shore cheese. what is the word for a female douchebag? douchebaguette? also, why does she have on the same outfit, but different hair in these pics? is the dark wig supposed to be a “disguise”? b/c she obviously wants to avoid attention so badly?
I’m quite certain the rest of us would be arrested. That pisses me off.
As to her tweets, makes me hate her more. “so sick of rumours…” Bitch please, you’d be nothing if people didn’t talk about you. As for “best summer ever,” must be awesome to not have a job.
Meh, arresting anyone for a little bit of weed is stupid. The jails are overcrowded enough with people who commit actual crimes. At least she wasn’t driving under the influence and endangering others, as she has in the past.
@ andrea, douchebaguette needs to be included in Webster’s next edition!
@andrea, a douchebag is an object that has no gender. It can be equally applied to men or women. It’s ironic that this popular phrase actually names something people no longer use (note to self, blog about this). People want Paris in jail because we hate her. I don’t think anyone should be arrested for having some weed to smoke. What’s the big deal? It’s legal witha prescription here in California.
LEGALIZE, that’s all i got to say about it.
I’m gonna go watch my Weeds video now.
Just curious- where did this new ‘arrested in Texas’ meme come from?
for celebrating her first arrest in South Africa,she partied with Leo Dicaprio
true, I know I don’t care.
Oh please, she’s thrilled people are paying attention to her again. It won’t last though, her time has been up for a while.
How stupid do you have to be to take drugs through an airport? I mean, does anyone else remember all those stories about how she’s not dumb, just acting and is an awesome businesswoman et cetera? I see no evidence of that here!
Oh, and I also think they should legalise already. So many arguments for it.
Paris is such a self entitled piece of garbage. Didn’t she promise afer being released from jail that she would help her fellow female prisoners and help those not born into wealth? Waste of humanity.
Legalize it! Time to go light up a blunt!
i join the “legalize it” chorus
BUT
i think what really grates is that if it had been any one of US, we would be sitting in a not so comfy jail cell in some other country… has anyone ever seen Locked Up: Abroad?? THAT would be US, but douchebags like paris and lilo get to cokewh0re it and p0thead it up without consequences…
at least thats what bothers me…
@Statler – the Texas reference is to this story:

Paris should go all Rastafarian and have dreads. . . ‘Jah will provide, Paris, jah will provide’.
Oh my, andrea! Darling that was wonderful and I am insanely jealous that I didn’t say that first! Douchebaguette is my new fav!
If she makes some more homemade porn i’ll finally care once again about what she’s doing.
What must a untalented celebrity do these days to get some recognition? I’m still waiting for the day Robert Pattinson uses a public restroom and there’s a huge story about it with photo evidence.
The only way this could be interesting would be if the “close to power…” sentence refered to electricity. The effect would be close to an explosion of a compressed air bottle made out of plastic!
@smith- Thanks for the link. I figured it was something to do with their ridiculously strict penal system but, wow, one joint? Insanity.
She certainly never learns, what’s the expression about “old dogs.”
Statler- People were freaking out about the max 90 day sentence even though it is the same in most states and there is no way that he will get it for a first offense. Although they don’t let people out in minutes due to overcrowding BS. This happened in France so the fact it is legal in CA with a prescription is moot. And I have no idea how it is typically handled there.
