LAS VEGAS – Paris Hilton was arrested late Friday after a police motorcycle officer smelled marijuana smoke wafting from a black Cadillac Escalade driven by her boyfriend on the Las Vegas Strip, then found cocaine in her purse, authorities said.

A crowd quickly gathered when Hilton and Las Vegas nightclub mogul Cy Waits were stopped about 11:30 p.m. Friday in the vehicle near the Wynn Las Vegas resort on Las Vegas Boulevard, police said. The 29-year-old celebrity socialite asked to go into the hotel for privacy because of the number people gathering, ..

[Political Junkie Too]

Is she still on probation? Is this an automatic trip back to jail?

[I still care]

I guess some people never learn.

[mowowie]

Coke is good but "Crack is whack"!

"The 29-year-old celebrity socialite asked to go into the hotel for privacy because of the number people gathering, ..."

Not a kid anymore.

Rapidly approaching the age where it wouldn't be the least surprising to see a headline like "Paris Hilton found dead from overdose in luxury suite."

Another example of the dangers of having wealth and no purpose.

[ConservativeStatement]

South Park got it right.

[353FMG]

Nah, she is celebrity — she’ll get a perfunctionary slap on the wrist and told to behave until the next run-in with the law. That’s the life of a celebrity in America.

[D-fendr]

Maybe it's just me, but I think she's on a short road down:

[ponygirl]

So sick of seeing this Herped-out crackwhore’s face.

[JennysCool]

Apparently, what happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas anymore.

[The Antiyuppie]

My give a s*** meter didn’t even budge.

I wonder if that little cutie Nicole, from Las Vegas Jailhouse, checked her in?

[mono]

Coke......the pause that refreshes! Anyone here old enough to remember that old advertising slogan for Coca-Cola?

[mono]

Nichole...! You too? I am madly lusting after her.

[jrg]

That’s Hot!

[antidemoncrat]

And here I thought it was just a lack of oxygen to her brain that made her act that way.

[DGHoodini]

for all the gifts she has been given..Far beyond i am ever likely to enjoy...

i feel sorry for the sad little rich girl. One bad choice after another.

[Americanexpat]

They never learn because they keep getting breaks from the courts, actually follow through with the verdicts and they may get smart. I am so tired of these celebrities and their BS if the courts are going to give these A-holes breaks then give themm to every body.

[jakerobins]

Can’t wait till Paris gets really high and goes to Isreal.......She’s partied hard...after 30 that starts to catch up to people in a few years she is going to start to look haggard.....I see lots of plastic surgery in her future....

“Another example of the dangers of having wealth and no purpose.”

If I had that much wealth, I’d pay other people to have a purpose for me.

[LasVegasMac]

People like this give my town a bad name.

Keep your trash down there in Horrywood, please and thank you.

[biff]

Yep, it’s the real thing.

Your turn.

[mono]

50 million times a day.....at home, at work and on the way.

[ladyjane]

People like this give my town a bad name.

No. Your police department gives your town a bad name. If they can shoot an innocent person in Costco they are perfectly capable of planting cocaine on a celebrity.

[biff]

10, 2, & 4.

[mono]

Dr. Pepper aint nothing like the real thing baby.

[biff]

Hey, where’s the beef?

[mono]

Game over. I declare it a draw.

[Vision]

All the money in the world and she needs drugs to experience happiness.

[biff]

Agreed.

[LasVegasMac]

If they can shoot an innocent person in Costco they are perfectly capable of planting cocaine on a celebrity.

Two days of testimony so far, still think he was innocent?

Over lethal limits of drugs in his body, failure to obey - reaching for the weapon.

He was an idiot and paid the price.

Maybe you should wait until the facts come out before you decide to look like a fool.

Gasp!!! You mean to say that all those news stories were not telling the whole story?!? Gobsmacked, I am....

[ladyjane]

The LV police department does not have a stellar image but you probably know that already.
