Hilton Charged with Drunk Driving

Celebrity heiress Paris Hilton was charged on Tuesday with drunk driving, stemming from an arrest earlier this month she blamed on her rush to see the King to get a late-night burger.

Hilton, 25, was charged with two misdemeanor counts: Driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with a blood-alcohol level above the legal limit of (.08).

An initial court appearance was set for Thursday, but Hilton would not be required to attend, he said.

The charges carry a maximum penalty of six months in county jail and $1,000 fine, but most first offenders are given probation and ordered to attend alcohol counseling.

Hilton was pulled over about 1 a.m. on September 7 by police who said she was driving erratically.

The star of reality show "The Simple Life" subsequently told a Los Angeles radio station the incident had been blown out of proportion but she may have been speeding to satisfy her craving for a hamburger.

Maybe if she would have picked Taco Bell like most people, she could have avoided the whole scene.

I want to be the Babies Daddy Anna

Photographer Larry Birkhead, a former boyfriend of Anna Nicole Smith, tells Us Weekly magazine that, no matter what a national TV audience was told Tuesday night, he's the real father of the reality TV star's newborn girl. And he's seeking a DNA Test to prove it.

Smith's lawyer, Howard K. Stern, told CNN's "Larry King Live" on Tuesday that he is the "proud father" of the girl, Dannie Ray Hope, born Sept. 7, and he plans to marry Smith "at some point."

"Right now we have to somehow get through what we're going through," said Stern, referring to the Sept. 10 death of Smith's son, Daniel Smith. The 20-year-old Smith died of unknown causes at his mother's hospital bedside in the Bahamas.

Birkhead says science can settle the matter. He's confident about what the results would be from a DNA Test, saying, "I know I am the father of the child. I look forward to having a relationship with my new daughter."

Birkhead is not like most guys that have a baby out of wedlock, he's trying to step up to the plate like a man with empty pockets.

Lethal Drug Dose' Killed Smith's Son

Anna Nicole Smith's son died from a lethal combination of methadone and two anti-depressant drugs, a US pathologist said.

Cyril Wecht, who was hired by Smith to look into her son's death on September 10, said a combination of methadone, Zoloft and Lexapro led to cardiac dysrhythmia.

Daniel, 20, died while visiting his mother in hospital in the Bahamas where she had given birth to a baby girl.

His death has been shrouded in mystery since then.

An official autopsy and toxicology reports are being withheld until an inquest on October 23

Paris Hilton Sex Tapes, I Mean Phone Tapes

Hotel heiress Paris Hilton has admitted something the rest of the world already knew - she's not that bright. The 25-year-old star of The Simple Life made her confession to cops quizzing her about a burglary at the home of Girls Gone Wild creator Joe Francis.

She was hailed as a crime-fighter when she told Francis, who has made a fortune selling raunchy videos of topless college girls partying, she had overheard on the party scene that a Hollywood hanger-on called Darnell Riley had boasted of breaking into his house.

But when she was quizzed by Los Angeles police it emerged she wasn't a reliable witness as she could not remember what happened. "Like I really, I don't remember," she said on police tapes obtained by the television show Dateline. "I'm not, like, that smart. I forget stuff all the time."

Riley was arrested after Hilton's tip-off, and earlier this year was sentenced to nearly 11 years in prison after pleading guilty to residential burglary and attempted extortion.

During the raid he took video showing Francis tied up with his trousers pulled down, while Riley taunted him with a sex toy.

Hilton also told police she was the victim of extortion, after 'private tapes' were stolen from her home and an anonymous caller offered to sell them back to her, but that she followed her father's advice and refused to pay up.

"They wanted money," she said. "They were tryin' to sell it to like a newspaper or something. So if you pay somebody, then you're gonna be paying for the rest of your life. My dad always taught me. They'll keep the tape anyway." Dateline also obtained video of Francis being humiliated but has no plans to show it, they'll leave it up to YouTube and Google to spread the trash over the world wide web.
