Her smug mugshot says it all, with a high powered and uber connected Vegas lawyer and a man about town boyfriend, Paris thinks her arrest and subsequent felony charges are all a joke!
Paris Hilton has become just as famous for her run-ins with the law as she has for her variety of business ventures and frequent red carpet antics, but has always managed to dodge any severe repercussions. This all came to an end however on Aug. 27 when the heiress was found with cocaine in her purse after being pulled over and has now been charged with felony cocaine possession. The only problem? She continues to behave as if this is not an issue — in fact, she claims she thought the drugs were gum!
“She had not seen it but now thought it was gum,” said an officer’s report. “She said several cosmetic items inside the purse were not hers.”
HollywoodLife.com spoke with psychiatrist Carole Lieberman, author of the upcoming Bad Girls: Why Men Love Them & How Good Girls Can Learn Their Secrets, who said of Paris’ behavior, “She takes pleasure in flaunting all the rules.”
Dr. Lieberman went on to say, “Paris has never had boundaries set for her – not by her parents and not by the courts. Children who grow up without boundaries need to keep pushing the boundaries in order to get attention and to feel that someone cares.”
That’s not all either, the attention her peers are getting, even if negative, is possibly making her jealous according to Dr. Lieberman. “Paris is jealous of other young Hollywood celebs who have been monopolizing the headlines that once focused more on her – from Lindsay Lohan to Kim Kardashian and Nicole Richie. It’s not likely that Paris set out to get arrested, but she has been partying to console herself for not having as much media attention as she would like.”
Paris has taken all measures to soften the blow of her possible consequences. First, she hired high powered Las Vegas attorney David Z. Chesnof, whose former law partner just happens to be Oscar Goodman — the mayor of Las Vegas!
As for her boyfriend, 32-year-old Cy Waits, he is a man about town in Vegas and actually runs Tryst, the highly popular club in the Wynn where Paris was searched — though reports are now saying he has been fired following the incident.
Possession of cocaine in Nevada, regardless of the amount, carries a sentence of 1 – 6 yrs. and a fine of $5,000. No matter how connected Paris may be, that seems like a very tough sentence to get out of.
Perhaps this will finally be the wake up call Paris needs!

Yeah she’ll get a slap on the wrists like the rest of them do. No one’s ever going to severely punish these girls, because there’s too many legal loopholes, and to many crooked people in the courts to make this stuff stick. And to Paris, $5k is chump change. She’ll throw the money their way, and be handed a get out of jail free sentence. just you wait and see.

P.S. If you want to be totally grossed out, flip over to Perez Hilton’s site and read what he just posted about WHERE Paris carries her cocaine when going through Customs! This gal really has substance abuse problems! She makes Lindsanity look, well, sane!

Don’t everyone come unglued with happiness too soon! The news sites are saying she will probably only get probation since she has a clean record in Nevada. Even though her family no longer owns the Hilton Hotel chain, their name is still on the tea towels, as it were. The Hilton name has brought a lot of $$$ to Nevada over the years, and certain politicians/businessmen aren’t going to forget that. They are probably having lunch with local judges as we write this. In the meantime, men/women/kids are doing hard time in NY State for half of what she has been caught with over the years. No, life isn’t always fair. However, eventually, it will all catch up with Paris, ‘cuz Karma is a b—h!

I agree. She has no boundaries. How is a powder like substance gum, WHAT!!?!? And it doesnt matter whose purse it is, it was in your possession. Plus you are rich, why are you borrowing purses, thats for common people. She needs to go to jail. GOODBYE. Dont be mad because Nicole and Kim are way sexier than you.
