Paris Hilton can now go to sleep feeling a little safer these days. The man convicted of attempting to burglarize her L.A. home last August has been sentenced to two years in state prison.
According to E! Online, Nathan Lee Parada was found guilty of felony attempted first degree burglary in April.
The prosecution argued that Parada came to Los Angeles from the Redlands, bought a star map to locate Hilton's Hollywood home, and walked to the heiress' house armed with two knifes.
In an interview conducted after he was apprehended by authorities, Parada claimed his intent was to "get money to go live on a deserted island."
Both Hilton and then-boyfriend Cy Waits were home during the time of Parada's attempted intrusion, and testified in court against him.
"I drew the gun on him and I screamed at him to drop the knives," Waits told the court, adding that Hilton ran to find a phone after they heard Parada trying to break open a window with the end of a knife.
Waits then went outside to try to talk to the intruder.
"I was polite in the beginning," he said, until Parada began to walk away. "He turned around and smirked and that is when I saw he had two large knives, a large steak knife and a large buck knife."
This isn't the first time Hilton has had a scary burglar-related incident at her home. In 2008, the infamous teenage 'Burglar Bunch' reportedly stole millions of dollars worth of jewelry, clothing, handbags and other luxury items from Hilton before they hit up other stars' homes.
Hilton talks about the the most recent burglary incident involved Parada on the first episode of her new Oxygen reality show, 'The World According to Paris,' starting around the 0:38 minute mark below.
I just want to know why the heck they have not put Lindsay in jail and she's done worse than this...goes to show you about Hollywood...life's a joke to the rich and famous.
I'd like a little input from all of you out there. This latest outrage in Paris' life is little more than absurdity. Just the coke thing. One must wonder what was with the knives? He porbably wanted more than just loot. Does anyone think that this nice looking young lady needs some credibility? She obviously likes being in front of a camera. I can dig that. I am of the opinion that OK babe you are putting it out there, why should we care about you? Several years ago, Hal Holbrook put together a PBS special on the building of a bridge in Missouri. It was fascinating. Does anyone else want this sort of thing from Paris? Not the building of a bridge, but, perhaps the building of the Three Gorges Dam in China? Some things that the real world will take seriously. Input solicited, answers?

She REALLY should have that droopy eye fixed. Every year it droops more, and she looks more retarded.

Meanwhile, Lindsay Lohan can do as she pleases and gets off with rehab. Gotta love the special treatment our "celebs" get.

It's amazing how the celebrities can continually break the law with little repercussion, but when someone crosses them, they go to jail for 2 years!!!

If you took a hillbilly girl, dressed her in fake clothes and a trashy makeover she'd look just like Paris.
