Paris Hilton Detained in Japan Over Recent Drug Bust, Sent Back to U.S.

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 21st 2010 11:46PM

Paris Hilton can't catch a break. After pleading guilty Monday to two misdemeanors in her Las Vegas cocaine case, Japanese officials have delayed Hilton's entry into the country, the socialite's spokeswoman said. The 29-year-old star was stopped by immigration authorities, who are considering refusing Hilton entry into Japan because of her drug charges and sentence.

She was scheduled to appear at a news conference in Tokyo on Wednesday to promote her fashion line, but that appearance was apparently canceled. Hilton was forced to cancel her tour and returned home when she was denied entry at Tokyo's airport Wednesday following a drug violation in the U.S. -- running afoul of strict Japanese laws that have tripped up celebrities from Paul McCartney to Diego Maradona.

"I'm going back home, and I look forward to coming back to Japan in the future," a smiling Hilton told reporters before departing on her private jet.

The trip had been planned before Hilton's arrest last month in Las Vegas after an officer found a small amount of cocaine in her purse. She pleaded guilty Monday to drug possession and obstructing an officer and was placed on informal probation for one year.

The terms of her sentence did not restrict travel overseas.

Her publicist, Dawn Miller, said Hilton plans to make the trips at a later date.

"Paris is very disappointed and fought hard to keep her business commitments and see her fans, but she is forced to postpone her commitments in Asia," she said in a statement. "Paris understands and respects the rules and laws of the immigration authorities in Japan and fully wishes to cooperate with them."

On Monday, Hilton pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges stemming from her arrest for drug possession last month at a Las Vegas hotel-casino. Hilton will serve a year of probation and must complete a drug abuse program, pay a $2,000 fine and serve 200 hours of community service.

There's nothing 'hot' about a drug-using, VD-carrying loser regardless of whether they're rich or not. This character has earned to be treated in the same fashion as others who break our laws.

going to Southeast Asia with drugs can put in jail for life or even get the death penalty in Indonesia if you are found to be a supplier. Paris.... think again about your displaying your generously over the top NAIVE "above the law" attitude girl. You be spiraling down a dark hole.

Too bad we couldn't refuse her entry INTO the USA

By Good Luck!

Hilton and Lohan deserve the same cell together. Give them both all the drugs they want, hopefully OD and rid this country of at least two very poor "role models" for our youngsters; perhaps the youngsters will learn something, they certainly haven't. Once trash, always trash!

Too bad we cannot stop her from entrying the USA

By Donna

This is the kind of adult kids grown up to be, when parents fail to do their job. There obviously was no discipline taught.
Paris is a spoiled rotten little girl, who thinks life is all about good times. She doesnt have a clue.

By jenesis227

What a loser she is. She's old enough to know better now.

By billymarwadi

"Paris understands and respects the rules and laws of the immigration authorities in Japan and fully wishes to cooperate with them." HOG WASH! Japan would not let convicted felon Paris enter. If Paris had respected the rules and laws of Japan, she would have never tried to sneak into their country. Paris probably cursed each one and vowed to take over the country. WAY TO GO JAPAN!
Paris does not understand or respect AMERICA rules and laws, why would she respect other countries rules and laws. How many times has Paris been convicted of a felony?
If only America would have turned her away!

By Barbara Loden

She should have known that might happen. What is it they say about dumb blondes?

By me

Good for the Japs. Now, maybe this rich little nobody will learn about something called consequences.

By berry

Good, the only place she deserves to be let in, is prison and the paid off judge and DA from vagas should join her.
