"I Thought The Cocaine Was Chewing Gum" - Paris Hilton

Ask me a question, or leave
me a comment.

Las Vegas prosecutors, yesterday,
didn't believe Hilton, 29, when
she explained, "I thought the
cocaine was chewing gum" defense.
The charge is felony drug possession.

The situation came about when the
hotel heiress and her boyfriend,
Cy Walls-34, were driving down Las
Vegas Boulevard late Friday.

A motorcycle police officer stopped
them after smelling marijuana fumes
coming from their Cadillac, Clark
County prosecutors.

A crowd gathered around. Officers
allowed Hilton inside The Wynn Hotel,
Vegas Police Lt. Dennis Flynn. "Hilton
said she needed to put some lip balm on,
and I handed her the purse from the table,"
Flynn wrote. "As she began to open it. I
saw a small bindle of what I believed to
be cocaine in a clear baggy to fall from
the purse and into my hand." Police stated
that they found cocaine in Hilton's purse,
but she denied owning the drugs or purse per
court papers.

Cash, credit cards, an Albuterol tablet and
Zig-Zag rolling papers, Hilton said belonged
to her.

"I asked Hilton whose cocaine it was, and she
said she had not seen it but now thought it
was gum," Flynn wrote.

David Chesnoff, Hilton's lawyer, declined to
comment on the case yesterday.

Ask me a question, or leave
me a comment.

Alesaundra Tafoya, 3, walked
2 blocks to Fire Station 243,
fire-house the family goes by
regularly.

Alesaundra Tafoya's parents taught
her what places in their Northern
California community were safe to
go for help. She told fire-fighters
that her father was frozen and
wouldn't wake-up, according to reports.

"I've been here over 20 years," Captain
Robert Villalovoz remarked. "It's the
first time I've had a 3-year-old walk
up to the fire station."

Alesaundra took rescuers back to her
house. Her father was "sitting in the
living room, needing medical care,"
Villalovoz said.

Frank Tafoya, Alesaundra's father,
"took a mixture of medication I wasn't
supposed to at the time, a bed-time dose,
and I guess I collapsed." It's reported
that doctors commented that without prompt
medical attention, Frank Tafoya would have
died.

Dr. Laura Used The N Word 11 Times

Ask me a question, or leave
me a comment.

Dr. Laura Schlessinger, 63, has
been protested for using the N
word on air with a caller last
week.

The talk show radio host said
Tuesday that she will not renew her
contract. It's up, over, at the end
of the year.

She's been in the business for more
than 30 years.

"I want to be able to say what's on my
mind and in my heart and what I think
is helpful and useful without somebody
getting angry or some special interest
group deciding this is a time to silence
a voice of dissent," Schlessinger
explained.

Schlessinger used the N word 11 times in
a 5 minute call on the 10th of August.

"I'm not retiring. I'm not quitting," she
continued. "I feel energized actually,
stronger and freer to say the things that I
believe need to be said for people in this
country."

"I was attempting to make a philosophical point,
and I articulated the N word all the way out,
more than one time. And that was wrong. I'll
say it again, that was wrong," Schlessinger
apologized.

Lindsay Lohan Released From Jail

Ask me a question, or leave me
a comment.

Lindsay Lohan was released from
the Lynwood Correctional Facility
after being there less than two
weeks on Monday.

Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel
sentenced Lohan 90 days for probation
violation.

Revel ordered Lohan to enter a substance
abuse rehabilitation program within 24
hours of leaving jail.

When Lohan was taken to jail on the 20th of
July, sheriff's spokesman made it clear that
her stay would be from 13 to 15 days.

The sheriff, person who runs the jail, can
release prisoners early due to good behavior
and/or over-crowding.

She has to go directly to a substance abuse
treatment center, Steve Whitmore, sheriff's
spokesman explained.

"The court order specified that certain named
people would pick her up. It's our understanding
she went directly to a treatment center," he
informed.

Whitmore didn't name which treatment center,
but shared she left with individuals in a mini-van.
