| Paris Hilton Arrested For Cocaine Possession Posted: 28 Aug 2010 09:45 AM PDT The star was busted in Las Vegas Friday night.
Paris Hilton was arrested in Las Vegas Friday night for cocaine possession. Police found a small amount of the substance on the socialite and reality-TV starlet after a black Cadillac Escalade she was riding in was pulled over. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department confirmed the arrest to MTV News. A traffic officer stopped the SUV shortly before midnight on the Las Vegas Boulevard near the Wynn Hotel Casino after noticing the scent of marijuana billowing from the vehicle. An officer told MTV News that cocaine fell out of Hilton's purse as she pulled out some lip balm. She was booked into the Clark County Detention Center and later released Saturday (August 28) at 2:45 a.m. on her own recognizance. Cy Waits, who is reportedly dating Hilton, was arrested for with driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol and remained in custody Saturday morning. Hilton would likely receive probation if convicted, according to The Associated Press. The star's attorney, David Chesnoff, said that he was still getting information about the situation, and added "I caution people not to rush to judgment." The heiress tweeted early Saturday morning but didn't appear to be shaken up by the incident. "In bed watching Family Guy. Love this show.! So hilarious! Stewie is my favorite :) love his accent," Hilton wrote around 6 a.m. "Going to bed. Sweet dreams everyone. Xoxo Paris :)." Hilton had another run-in with the law over alleged drug possession earlier this summer. The star was detained in South Africa at the World Cup for marijuana possession, but the case against Hilton was later dropped after officials learned that someone else in her group was smoking. The heiress has a history of getting in trouble for possessing substances and hitting the road. Hilton served 23 days in jail in 2007 for violating probation stemming from a 2006 DUI bust.

| Usher Opens Up About Marriage To Tameka Foster Posted: 28 Aug 2010 12:42 AM PDT 'It just was never going to work out 100 percent,' the singer says.
Usher's personal life — or public speculation about what has happened behind closed doors — has often figured prominently in the singer's work. Fans ate up the 2004 Confessions LP, which dropped amid rumors that Usher had stepped out on ex-girlfriend Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas. Similarly, the singer had endured whispers about his reportedly rocky marriage to stylist Tameka Foster before his latest album, Raymond v. Raymond, debuted at #1 this year. On the heels of the release of Versus, an extension of Raymond, the R&B crooner opened up about why he wasn't able to make it work with Foster. "We're two different people and we have two different goals," Usher told People. "It just was never going to work out 100 percent." Just like he did with his monster album Confessions, the ATL singer turned the heartbreak into hits. "My music is about where I am at the time," Usher explained. "In Raymond v. Raymond, I was going through a lot of things, and it came out in my music. My marriage fell apart and I was suddenly a single father." Continuing his tradition of mining his personal life for inspiration, Usher said that Versus is "about being a dating father." Earlier this year, the buzz surrounding his relationship with Foster ramped up when Usher's track "Papers," a song about ending a marriage by signing off on divorce documents, hit airwaves. However, Usher told MTV News in March that while the track wasn't inspired by a real-life situation, it unfortunately became a self-fulfilling prophecy. "When the song was recorded, I wasn't divorced," Usher said. "It was some reality in the contrast of trying to make it all work, having to balance a career and having a normal life. Coming in at six in the morning and arguing was a reality when you have those type of relationships. I felt that in a way, the story did touch on certain things at the time. I didn't know how realistic it would become. I didn't know I would become divorced. I did know it spoke on the contrast between trying to balance this world of being married and having this responsibility that's like a marriage at the same time. The song spoke to that place. Unfortunately, it did become a reality." What do you think of Usher's explanation for the end of his marriage to Tameka Foster? Let us know in the comments below! Related Artists |
| Paris Hilton's Drugs And Driving Woes: A Timeline Posted: 28 Aug 2010 04:14 AM PDT A history of the heiress' drug-related driving incidents.
Paris Hilton is known for her jet-set lifestyle but things tend to go south when the heiress decides to travel by car. On Friday, Hilton was arrested in Las Vegas for possession of cocaine after police pulled over the SUV she was riding in. The socialite's beau was apparently behind the wheel but Hilton was taken into custody after the illegal substance fell out of her purse. The Vegas bust is not the first time Hilton has run into trouble with drugs while driving. Here's a timeline of her substance-related issues behind the wheel: »Hilton was arrested on September 7, 2006 in Los Angeles for suspicion of drunk driving. The socialite's blood alcohol level was .08 percent, the minimum for a DUI charge in California. »On May 4, 2007 the heiress was sentenced to 45 days behind bars for violating her probation. Hilton told the judge, "I'm very sorry and from now on I'm going to pay complete attention to everything. I'm sorry and I did not do it on purpose at all." »On May 16, Hilton's jail time was trimmed from 45 days to 23 for good behavior, among other reasons. »Hilton reported to jail on June 3, hours after attending the 2007 MTV Movie Awards. The socialite told MTV News, "I'm obviously a little scared right now." »Hilton was ordered back to jail on June 8 after being released early to finish out her sentence under house arrest. The star reportedly screamed "It's not right" before being escorted from the courthouse in tears. »Hilton was released from jail on June 26. The starlet was greeted by throngs of fans and paparazzi. "This is by far the hardest thing I have ever done. I have had a lot of time to reflect, and have already learned a bitter, but important lesson from this experience," she said in a statement. »In July 2010, the heiress was detained in South Africa for possession of marijuana. The case was later dropped after authorities learned that another person in her group, and not Hilton, was smoking. » Hilton was arrested in Las Vegas on August 27 for possession of cocaine.

| 'Last Exorcism' Tops Friday Box Office Posted: 27 Aug 2010 11:27 PM PDT 'Takers' with T.I. and Chris Brown nabs second place.
The Box-Office Top Five #1 "The Last Exorcism" ($9.4 million) "The Last Exorcism" scared up major ticket sales on its opening day. The supernatural horror flick raked in an estimated $9.4 million on Friday. "Exorcism," which is directed by Daniel Stamm and boasts gore-master Eli Roth of the "Hostel" series fame as a producer, drew enough moviegoers to grab the top spot. The film, which follows a documentary crew in rural Louisiana hired to capture the creepy antics of a supposedly possessed young girl, goes light on digital wizardry in favor of scoring scares with practical effects. In the second place slot is the star-studded heist flick "Takers." T.I., Chris Brown, Idris Elba, Hayden Christensen and Matt Dillon work the screen in a story about a crew of suave thieves set to carry out a major job. The thriller snatched $7.5 million in Friday ticket sales. Sliding to third place is the heavily-armed action fest "The Expendables." The fiery, butt-kicking flick raised $2.7 million on Friday, after ruling the box office for the past two weeks and sitting comfortably at the top spot. Friday's haul edges the total domestic tally of the Sylvester Stallone-helmed enterprise near the $75 million mark. "Eat Pray Love," featuring marquee vet Julia Roberts, settled into fourth place. The soul-searching movie adapted from the runaway hit memoir of the same name, nabbed $2.2 million in box office receipts on Friday. The loopy cop comedy "The Other Guys" continues to power along, taking in $1.9 million and rounding out Friday's top movies in the fifth-place slot. Although "Avatar" wears the crown for the highest-grossing film ever, the re-release of the James Cameron adventure, revamped with previously unreleased footage, failed to crack the top ten with only $1.2 million in Friday ticket sales. Check out everything we've got on "The Last Exorcism" and "Takers." For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com. Related Photos |
