Police say Paris Hilton arrested in Hollywood for alleged DUI.

LOS ANGELES - Paris Hilton was arrested early Thursday for investigation of driving under the influence, police said.

Hilton was arrested shortly before 12:30 a.m. in Hollywood, said police Officer I. Isabella, who declined to give his first name.

"The officers observed that Hilton exhibited the symptoms of intoxication. A field sobriety test was conducted at scene, and the officers determined she was driving under the influence," Isabella said, reading a police statement.

Hilton was booked on suspicion of misdemeanor DUI and released, he said.

Her spokesman, Elliot Mintz, confirmed the arrest and said she had the minimum blood-alcohol level to warrant an arrest. The legal limit in California is 0.08 percent.

"She's absolutely fine," Mintz said.

At the time of her arrest, Hilton was driving home from a charity event where she had one drink, he said. She had spent the day shooting a music video for her new album.

The DUI was "probably the result of an empty stomach and working all day and being fatigued," Mintz said.

In June, Hilton had a fender-bender accident when her Range Rover backed into a car in a parking garage after a shopping trip

1. Great. Just great. More publicity for her.

Has she had her 15 minutes yet?

2. Her 15 minutes seem to just keep going and going and going and going

3. Usually I don't resent celebrities.

The majority of them have gotten where they are due to at least some talent. Some of them were simply in the right place in the right time; there's nothing wrong with good timing.

But when it comes to Paris Hilton, the poster child for the Lucky Sperm Club who is famous for being famous and becomes more famous because being famous makes her more famous, I do feel a slight twinge of resentment. It's a damn circle jerk, for Christ's sake.

9. My thoughts exactly

I have great contempt for this women, because she has absolutely no discernable talent other than just being born famous. To think there are countless talented bands and musicians out there living hand to mouth with no deal creating inspiring music at the same time this person is handed a record deal, 10 songs she didn’t write, a video, and lots of publicity shows just how moronic we are.

20. "No discernable talent..."

I have great contempt for this women, because she has absolutely no discernable talent other than just being born famous.

You mustn't have seen the famous video, then. From what I've read, she seems to be talented as all get out!

:evilgrin:

4. I just cant believe it. She such a role model for my daughter

I dont really have a daughter. It just seemed like the right thing to say.:P

[NMMNG]

15. You had me worried for a moment.

I was wondering who would want their daughter to grow up to be a vapid twit with no use other than to blow money and demand attention.

7. The DUI was "probably the result of an empty stomach and working all day

and being fatigued," Mintz said.

Um, no. She was drunk.

Ah, classism in America.

[elperromagico]

10. Nobody ever went to jail for eating a sandwich, Paris.

Unless, of course, they stole it. Or were drunk and driving a car while eating it.

8. "She's absolutely fine," Mintz said.

When did that happen? Last I knew, she was absolutely ridiculous.

[Broken_Hero]

11. No way, not her!

I just can't believe it..................:(

12. Believe it. When America's Sweetheart falls down like this,

one can't help but wonder if Falwell, Robertson, and Dobson were right all along...

:sarcasm:

14. So she goes from annoying and useless to dangerous

Just what we need. :sarcasm:

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. Well she says it was "nothing" really... so, no need to worry.

:sarcasm: :hi:

[NMMNG]

19. And no doubt daddy's highly paid lawyers will make it disappear

So it will be like it never happened. Life will go on as usual for the precious darling. :eyes:

17. Damn...

18. Wow, such excuses - especially when law enforcement usually says

"no excuses".

:think:

[regnaD kciN]

21. Hey, look on the bright side...!

At least she didn't blame it on the Jews... :evilgrin:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

22. If she just blew a 0.08 then yeah, she probably did only have one drink

especially at her weight and on an empty stomach. I hate Paris Hilton as much as the next person, but I'm not going to get all worked up over a DUI at that low a blood alcohol level.
