was taken from a courtroom this afternoon after a judge ordered the celebrity heiress returned to county jail to serve out her entire 45-day sentence for a parole violation in a reckless driving case."Oh no!" a distraught Hilton shouted after Judge Michael Sauer ordered her immediately returned to jail. "Mom!" she called to her mother, Kathy, sitting in the second row of the spectators' gallery."My baby!" Kathy Hilton wailed, hugging her husband, Rick, who is head of the Hilton Hotel dynasty.The decision came after Hilton was brought to the Metropolitan Courthouse by sheriff's deputies in a caravan from her spacious West Hollywood home. Hilton had apparently planned to participate in the hearing via phone, but was ordered by the judge to appear in person.After the hearing, a crush of media and onlookers crowded around Hilton's family, who needed help from deputies to make their way to a black Cadillac Escalade.

2007 captured the top place in the list of most popular entertainment articles on the MSN-Mainichi Interactive site for the last week of May.Mori's winning of the Miss Universe title on May 28 local time follows Japanese Kurara Chibana's capture of second place in 2006.

Paris Hilton's jail time countdown is on 2007-06-01 00:53:00 Paris Hilton
's mandatory makeover — from designer duds to jail-issued jumpsuits — is fast approaching. The 26-year-old heiress has until 11:59 p.m. on June 5 to report to the Century Regional Detention Facility to start serving time for violating her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.A judge sentenced Hilton to 45 days behind bars, but Los Angeles County sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said "she will do about 23 days," regardless of when she reports. She may choose to report early, or at an odd hour, to try to avoid media attention."It's the state law," he said, explaining the "good time/work time" requirement in which "you get days off for every day that you serve."He said there's no chance Hilton will be released early due to overcrowding, as actressMichelle Rodriguez was in May 2006, when she served less than one day of a 60-day sentence at the same county jail."The situation in the jail will not determine (Hilton's) release," Whitmore said. "She has Read more:Paris

Heigl wants to play 'happy people' 2007-06-01 00:29:00 Katherine Heigl says castmate Isaiah Washington apologized to her on the set of "Grey's Anatomy" after she publicly denounced his use of an anti-gay slur. "Isaiah thanked me, which I didn't understand," the 28-year-old actress tells Entertainment Weekly. "He was almost grateful. I don't know Isaiah well, but he takes his work seriously and he loves his character."Washington came under fire for using the epithet at theGolden Globe Awards in January while denying he'd used it previously against fellow "Grey's" star T.R. Knight. Heigl, who plays outspoken Dr. Izzie Stevens on the hit ABC medical drama, says she was "furious and frustrated" at the time, so she leapt to Knight's defense."He made a big mistake, and it was thoughtless and boneheaded, and I think he's very sorry and embarrassed," she says in the magazine's Friday issue. "This is something that will have changed the scope of his life."Heigl, who stars in the new Judd Apatow-directed comedy "Knocked Up," speaks out in th Read more:people

Dressed in a black, red and purple Japanese-style gown, Riyo Mori nervously grabbed the hands of first runner-up, Natalia Guimaraes of Brazil, just before the winner was announced. Then she threw her hands up and covered her mouth, overcome with emotion.But she gathered herself together enough to catch the diamond-and-pearl-studded headpiece valued at $250,000 as it slipped off her head when Miss Universe 2006 Zuleyka Rivera of Puerto Rico crowned her. Mori immediately placed it back on her head.The last time Japan won the pageant was in 1959 when Akiko Kojima became the first Miss Universe from Asia.“She is an amazing champion, an amazing woman and I hear that they go totally insane in Japan, so that’s good,” said Donald Trump , who co-owns the pageant with NBC.Mori, from the small town Read more:Crowned

American Idol winner to be named tonight 2007-05-23 09:11:00 NEW YORK - The "American
Idol" season finale is tonight with Jordin Sparks and Blake Lewis the last contestants standing.Before the third and last song of last night, the "American Idol
" judges were of a mind that the title still was up for grabs — and then Jordin Sparks, all of 17, blew everyone away. Simon Cowell and Co. — who have no vote in deciding whether Sparks or rival Blake Lewis, 25, ends up the winner
— couldn't contain themselves. "You were the best singer tonight. You deserve it all, baby!" Randy Jackson gushed Tuesday. "You just wiped the floor with Blake," added Cowell, who then told Sparks he was wrong for initially thinking she wasn't good enough to win the Fox talent show. "I would say the best individual performance of the night was Blake on the first song," Cowell said. "But, based on overall singing — Jordin." After the two "Idol" finalists took their last turns on stage, the choice facing viewer voters was crystallized: the most talented singer or the be Read more:named

Paris gets no love from arnold 2007-05-16 21:47:00 Paris Hilton stopped off at the Coffee Bean on May 11, looking at least a little cheerier than we've seen her lately. Wearing a pair of cuffed shorts with a matching short sleeve jacket (create a similar look by matching Walter's Cropped Jacket with Deener's Sloucher Shorts; all of Johnson's shorts are similar too), Paris looked cute but conservative. California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has totally gotten over the possibility that he might pardon Paris from any jail time she might serve, much to P's dismay. Paris paired up with a fan online to create a petition begging the Governator to lessen her sentence, to which Arnie replied that he "never got any request. But I have many more important things to think about." Burn! In Paris' defense, it does kind of seem like she's being made an example out of, although she does need to realize that there are consequences to her (idiotic) actions. Either way, seems like there's barely any love for the jailbird heiress going around t Read more:Paris

Paris Hilton Now Dropped By Talent Agency - She’s Talented? 2007-06-13 08:46:00 Paris Hilton
is suffering. Not only is Paris in the midst of a psychologically-testing 45-day jail sentence, but now Paris Hilton
's talent agency has dropped her too - plus it's like wicked hard to make a pair of cack-streaked jailhouse trousers look hot.Perhaps the only thing more shocking than realising that Paris Hilton's talent agency Endeavor has dropped her as a client when she's at her most emotionally vulnerable is realising that, wait, Paris Hilton had a talent agency? That means that House Of Wax, The Simple Life and that awful album about blind stars were actually part of a professional strategy and not just a series of dumbly-fluffed ventures that Paris Hilton sort of wafted into on a whim? And also, Paris Hilton has a talent? We clearly haven't invested enough stock into the creative process of mumbling the same four words all day and then sucking blokes off on the internet.Now that Paris Hilton has been in jail - and out of jail and in court again and back to jail fo Read more:Dropped

Trump Wants His MTV 2007-06-21 06:46:00 While Rosie O'Donnell pines for The Price Is Right gig, her nemesis is lining up some more TV work of his own. Donald Trump
and MTV are teaming up for a new reality series focusing on the everyday lives of the Donald's beauty pageant winners.The new half-hour show will be titled Pageant Place and, according to Variety, will feature Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA sharing a swanky Manhattan apartment while performing their various duties—promotional appearances, modeling, charity events, international trips—during their yearlong reign.The series will feature former Miss USA Tara Conner, who was nearly dethroned last year before entering rehab for alcohol and drugs.While Trump could have stripped the Kentucky native of her tiara due to her party-hearty ways (and the resultant bad PR), he gave her a second chance and sent her to treatment. The decision drew condemnation from Rosie O'Donnell, who took to The View airwaves and criticized him for using Conner's scandal to g
