According to Police they pulled over the vehicle in front of the Wynn hotel driven by Cy Waits because they noticed the smell of marijuana coming from the vehicle. Waits was arrested for suspicion of DUI, meanwhile a crowd of around 100 people were onlookers as Paris was questioned. She said that she needed to use the bathroom and was then taken into the Wynn security office restroom. When she went to grab lip balm from her purse that is when the officer noticed the bindle that was determined to contain 0.8 gram of cocaine fall out. Paris first said that the purse was not hers but has later changed the story to the purse being hers but she had lent it to a friend. She claims the cocaine must have belonged to the friend, other items in the purse were credit cards, 1,300 cash a broken albuterol tablet that Hilton said were her possessions. There were also zig zag rolling papers and some cosmetics in the purse that she said did not belong to her. The picture above is Hilton’s new mugshot, she was held in jail for about 3 hours and released on her own recognizance. Hilton is facing a category E felony which in Nevada carries with it a sentence of one to four years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000; the court can also grant probation on a first offense.

Heidi and Spencer
Heidi and Spencer have a big scam going from the recent reports of the separation and divorce all the way to the new reports of Spencer releasing a sex tape and that Heidi has been crying over it. Radaronline is revealing the multiples lies involved in Heidi and Spencer’s scam. The first lie involves Spencer blackmailing Heidi so that he can release a sex tape of her to Vivid Entertainment. Legal experts say that Heidi would have to consent to the release of the tape which means she is probably in on the deal with Spencer in which Heidi would profit on the deal as well. Also the duo has been acting as though they have been living separately since their split. Not true, a source states that the couple along with Cougar Zank have all been living in the same Malibu house all summer. The divorce papers and the separation papers that Heidi filed didn’t even have the correct marriage date on them. Another lie they are telling is that Heidi is stay out of the spotlight so that she can focus on herself and her career, she wants to star in movies now. The truth behind this though is that she was told if she isn’t photographed for a while when she does reemerge her photos will be worth a lot more. Everything that Heidi and Spencer do is very planned and orchestrated around media attention and making money since they don’t really have any talent.

Dr. Frank Ryan
Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Frank Ryan 50, was in a car crash in which his 1995 jeep wrangler went over the side of Pacific Coast Highway rocky embankment landing on it’s roof yesterday at around 4:30 PM. Ryan was pronounced dead at the scene. He had posted on his twitter account moments before the crash “After 25 years of driving by, I finally hiked to the top of the giant sand dune on the pch west of Malibu. Much harder than it looks! Whew!” He also posted a picture of his dog on his twitter. The dog was in the crash with him and was injured but survived. This is the image and last tweet he sent “Border collie jill surveying the view from atop the sand dune.”
Dr. Frank Ryan's Dog
Dr. Ryan had made headlines recently after performing 10 plastic surgeries in one day on reality star Heidi Montag. Some of his other celebrity clients include Janice Dickinson, Gene Simmons, Shauna Sand, Vince Neil and Adrianne Curry.

UPDATE: It is being reported that Dr. Frank Ryan was twittering that message on his phone which may have distracted him causing his jeep to go over the side of a cliff in Malibu. His cause of death is being reported as “blunt force trauma” to the head. This is a reminder that texting while driving is very dangerous.

Jessica Simpson’s Lucky Magazine Photoshop Controversy

Jessica Simpson Lucky Magazine
In the September issue of Lucky Magazine Jessica Simpson the 30 year old singer and reality star says that she is at peace with her full figure and curves. Simpson is also quoted saying “We all obsess over looking like the perfect Barbie type, and that’s not always what’s beautiful. It’s about making peace with yourself.” The controversy surrounding the cover photo is that it is very obvious that Simpson has been airbrushed and appears about 10 to 20 lbs thinner than she really is. In the picture on the cover and inside the magazine it looks as if her head is disproportionate to her body. One Lucky magazine reader is quoted as saying “While I appreciate the comments [Jessica Simpson] makes about loving and accepting her body, I would find them more believable if she did not allow the magazine to airbrush her until her body looks nothing like the ‘real’ Jessica. These are the ways we could actually induce change rather than just giving it lip service. The body in these pictures is NOT the body we see in candid shots. I doubt it could hold up the head on top of it in real life. Come on Jessica!! Take a REAL stand!”

Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan went to court today in Beverly Hills where Judge Revel sentenced the actress to 90 days in jail and 90 days in an inpatient rehabilitation center. After Lohan heard the sentence she began crying and was then given the chance to plead with the judge for understanding. Judge Revel went on to tell of her history of lies. Lohan had been treading on thin ice since October and had been warned. She later went on to do a no show to a mandatory progress review hearing in May, claiming her passport was stolen while at the Cannes Film Festival. She was fitted with a SCRAM alcohol-monitoring bracelet as a result and has been subject to random drug testing, two weeks after getting the SCRAM bracelet it was set off leading to her third arrest warrant. Although she was sentenced to 90 days in jail it is likely that she will only have to serve about a fraction of that time because of the severe overcrowding in the jails where non violent offenders are usually released early. After Lindsay serves her time in jail and in rehab she will still be on probation and be forbidden from drinking alcohol until August of 2011.

But I’d like to.” Jasmine Waltz has dated Danny Cipriani, Ryan Seacrest, Jesse McCartney and Chris Pine, among others. Apparently the argument between Lohan and Waltz is linked to a love triangle over British rugby player Danny Cipriani. Looks like Lindsay will always remember her 24th birthday!

A former part-time nanny for Britney Spears, Fernando Flores has contacted the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services. Flores is making claims that Britney abused her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James claiming Britney whipped one of her sons with a belt. He is also claiming that Britney fed the children food that they were allergic to which in turn made them very ill. The timing of his claims is very suspicious as he was just let go from the job a month ago. Sources close to Britney say that there are always bodyguards and nannies around and that Britney is never alone with the children. They believe Britney is just the target of a man upset by his job loss. Children Services investigated the claim as they are required to and believe it has no merit.

The friend said that during the last couple of month’s the couple rarely left their home and would even order in groceries. The source told Radaronline.com that “Spencer and Heidi ordered one thousand dollars in just munchies from Gelsons Market and had it delivered to their house. One time they asked me to go pick up food for them and I was an hour late getting it back to their house. Spencer unleashed on me. He pulled a Glock [pistol] on me at the door and called me a loser and a charity case. He started talking like a gangster and threatening me. He was out of control. That was back in March and it was the last time I spoke to him.” Heidi is now living with her friend Jennifer Bunney and it is being reported that Spencer has also moved out of the Pacific Palisades home they once shared together.
