Paris BUSTED for Drunk Driving



Paris Hilton was arrested in Hollywood early on Thursday on suspicion of drunk driving, Los Angeles police said. Police pulled the hotel heiress over and tested her for intoxication after seeing her drive erratically, Los Angeles police officer Robert Andreno told Reuters. "She was arrested so, yes, she failed the sobriety test," Andreno said.

Los Angeles police spokeswoman Marjan Mobasser said Hilton was stopped by traffic officers in the Hollywood area at about 1:20 a.m.

Paris had attended a charity event earlier in the evening as well as an Us Weekly magazine party. She apparently had a single drink -- a margarita -- the entire evening and shortly thereafter she was stopped. She was asked to take a breathalyzer test when she was stopped and cooperated. She took a second test at the station. For the record, Paris is 5'9" and weighs 110 lbs.

TMZ spoke with Paris as she was driving home from jail, stopping for Parliament Lights cigarettes en route. She says she "regrets it occurred," and adds that she has been up for 24 hours, having shot a music video all day. Paris says she had nothing to eat and no rest the entire day.
