Paris Hilton Arrested for Cocaine

Paris Hilton- when are you going to get it? Drugs are illegal. The hotel heiress, 29, was arrested right before midnight on Las Vegas Boulevard when a cop pulled over the car she was riding in. People.com reports ‘public information officer Marcus Martin said the vehicle was stopped after officers believed marijuana smoke was coming out of the car.’ Searching Hilton’s belongings, the officer found cocaine in her purse, and arrested her. She was booked into the Clark County Detention Center early Saturday morning but later released.

This is the third time just this summer that Hilton has been involved with drugs. Early in July, she was questioned by South African police at the World Cup after she was allegedly caught smoking marijuana. She was not charged. Later that month, she was held by police on the French island of Corsica and caught with less than a gram of marijuana in her purse but released without being charged. I hope she gets something this time, she obviously has a drug problem, and I’m just as tired of reading about her as I am Lindsey Lohan.

Paris Hilton Splits From Doug Reinhardt

Does this mean she is going to be back on the party scene/tabloid covers? I hope not. After 14 months of dating, the relationship between Paris Hilton and Doug Reinhardt has ended. Hilton’s rep confirmed the split to People.com, saying, “The relationship between Paris and Doug is over. She broke up with him more than two weeks ago.”

The Truth About Diamonds by Nicole Richie

The Truth About Diamonds by Nicole Richie (Hollywood socialite, in case you were unaware), is a sort of memoir on her own life. After seeing what BFF Paris Hilton could do with a book deal, I can’t say I was real excited to crack this one open. But I have always been a fan of Nicole, so I thought I would give her a shot.

You follow Chloe, the main character that is based off Nicole’s life. She leads you through all her downfalls, the drugs she was on, entering rehab at a young age, a parent’s messy divorce, and the ups and downs with Simone, another rich socialite who is Chloe’s BFF (eh em, Paris Hilton). I felt my heart tug at a few chapters (surprising me) really feeling and believing the characters as I watched their lives play out. Each and every supporting and small character came alive with vigor and I felt as though I could be transported into the ‘famous for being famous’ life.

This book was written while Riche and Hilton were going through their now quite famous feud, and Riche goes all out on trashing Simone (who is clearly based upon Hilton). As the novel takes us through the years, we realize how evil and manipulative Simone can be, trying to take as much of the spotlight away from her gal pal to put her on top, even all throughout the girls’ reality show (The Simple Life).

Though the writing wasn’t completely stellar, I think it showed how much effort Nicole Richie actually put into writing this chick lit novel, and not wanting to have a ghostwriter. Some of the language perplexed me, and more than once was I confused at where the plot was going, but a strong finish kept me thinking about the characters and their lives even after I turned the last page.
