Paris Hilton sentenced to 45 days in jail

A California judge has sentenced Paris Hilton to 45 days in jail for violating her probation, putting the brakes on the hotel heiress' famous high life.

Hilton, who parlayed her name and relentless partying into worldwide notoriety, must go to jail on June 5 and she will not be allowed any work release, no furloughs, no use of an alternative jail and no electronic monitoring in lieu of jail, Superior Court Judge Michael T Sauer ruled after a hearing.

The judge ruled that she was in violation of the terms of her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

"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 all," she told the judge before announced the sentence.

She was then ordered to report to women's jail in suburban Lynwood.

Hilton, 26, was already on probation after admitting alcohol-related reckless driving and driving licence chiefs in California had suspended her license.

Then Hilton was stopped by highway patrol cops on January 15 this year and again by the LA County Sheriffs on February 27.

Checks discovered that she shouldn't have been on the road and her sporty Black Mercedes was impounded immediately.

According to legal papers, the prosecution has also requested that Paris should "not to consume any alcohol for a continuous period of 90 days and that she should be to be monitored for alcohol consumption... by use of a Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring (SCRAM) device at her expense."

The device takes blood/alcohol readings and will show if she has been out drinking.

Coincidentally, Hilton will next week be campaigning against underage drinking - or at least a likeness of her will.
