Hilton checks into her new home, the big house
Paris Hilton completed the first night of her probation sentence as morning arrived Monday in her new surroundings - a Los Angeles County jail cell that will be her home for much of this month.
The 26-year-old hotel heiress worked the red carpet at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday afternoon, then traded her strapless designer gown for a jail-issue jumpsuit and a solitary cell.
Hilton entered the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood just after 11:30 p.m. to serve 23 days for violating her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case. She is due out on June 26.
“It's hell. Go to jail and you'll find out,” Alicia Singleton, 23, of Oakland, said Monday as she left jail after serving five weeks for a crime she refused to describe.
Singleton said she and other inmates were asleep when Hilton checked in.
Around 7 a.m., they learned Hilton was there when they watched the TV news. To most of them, it was no big deal. “Oh, Paris, Paris, Paris. If you do the crime you've got to do the time,” Singleton said.
Hilton surrendered after a surprise visit to the MTV awards.
“I am trying to be strong right now,” she told reporters on the red carpet. “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.”
Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said Hilton was easy to work with.
“Her demeanor was helpful. She was focused, she was cooperative,” he said.
‘Minds' actor Moore arrested for DUI
“Criminal Minds” actor Shemar Moore is due in court later this month after being booked for investigation of driving under the influence, authorities say.
Moore, who was released on $5,000 bail, was doing over 65 mph on Santa Monica Boulevard around 1 a.m. Friday when he was stopped by the California Highway Patrol, officers said.
“Mr. Moore displayed signs of alcohol impairment and a DUI investigation was conducted,” according to the CHP arrest report.
Crowe, LaPaglia talking about building stadium
Anthony LaPaglia and Russell Crowe are in preliminary talks about building a new sports stadium in Sydney. LaPaglia, star of CBS' “Without a Trace,” is a director and shareholder in Sydney FC, a soccer team in the domestic A-League. Crowe, who won an Oscar for 2000's “Gladiator,” is co-owner of the South Sydney Rabbitohs in the National Rugby League.
LaPaglia said he and Crowe are in preliminary talks on constructing a 25,000-seat stadium that both teams could use during their respective seasons.
