LOS ANGELES (AP) Paris Hilton has rehired the publicist she dumped over the weekend after being sentenced to 45 days in jail.

Elliot Mintz confirmed to The Associated Press on Tuesday that he is again representing the 26-year-old socialite, who was ordered to report to county jail by June 5 for violating the terms of her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

Mintz, 62, wouldn't elaborate on why he reunited with Hilton. The publicist, whose clients have included John Lennon and Bob Dylan, issued a statement Sunday night that he and Hilton had parted ways over an apparent "misunderstanding she received from me regarding the terms of her probation."

In a court appearance Friday, Hilton told the judge Mintz informed her it was all right to drive on a suspended license for work obligations. Mintz also testified Hilton believed she was allowed to drive. The judge called Mintz's testimony worthless.

Hilton - star of reality TV show "The Simple Life" on the E! network - has parlayed her party lifestyle into worldwide fame.

She has called the sentence unfair, and her fans have posted a petition on the Internet urging Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to pardon her.

"I feel that I was treated unfairly and that the sentence is both cruel and unwarranted and I don't deserve this," Hilton told photographers assembled outside her home Saturday.
Ms Hilton told the judge she was very sorry and that she would “pay complete attention to everything” from now on.

The socialite said she did not know her licence had been suspended when caught driving without headlights in February.

According to papers filed in Los Angeles’ Superior Court, Ms Hilton was stopped by California Highway Patrol officers on 15 January and informed she was driving on a suspended license.

The 26-year-old then reportedly signed a document acknowledging she was not allowed to drive.

I’m very sorry and from now on I’m going to pay complete attention to everything

On 27 February, she was stopped by Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for speeding on Sunset Boulevard with her car’s headlights off and charged with violating her probation.

Although Ms Hilton maintained she was not aware her license had been suspended, court papers said the document she signed in January was found in her car’s glove compartment.

She was also accused of failing to enroll in an alcohol education programmed by a court-ordered deadline.

Hours after strolling the red carpet in a strapless black dress, Paris Hilton traded her designer duds for a jail-issued jumpsuit.

The 26-year-old heiress checked into the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood just after 11:30 p.m. Sunday. She's expected to serve three-weeks for violating her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

Hilton surrendered to sheriff's deputies after making a surprise visit to the MTV Movie Awards in the afternoon.

"I am trying to be strong right now," she told reporters on the red carpet. "I'm ready to face my sentence. Even though this is a really hard time, I have my family, my friends and my fans to support me, and that's really helpful."

Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said Hilton was easy to work with.

"Her demeanor was helpful. She was focused, she was cooperative," he said.

Hilton turned herself in at the Men's Central Jail in downtown Los Angeles just after 10:30 p.m., then was escorted to the all women's facility in Lynwood, where she was booked, fingerprinted and issued a jail uniform, Whitmore said.

She also was given her first meal: cereal, bread and juice.

So far, Hilton does not have a cellmate, Whitmore said.

The "Simple Life" star will be housed in the "special needs" unit of the 13-year-old jail, separate from most of its 2,200 inmates. The unit contains 12 two-person cells reserved for police officers, public officials, celebrities and other high-profile inmates.

Like other inmates in that unit, Hilton will take her meals in her cell and will be allowed outside the 12-foot-by-8-foot space for at least an hour each day to shower, watch TV in the day room, participate in outdoor recreation or talk on the telephone. No cell phones or BlackBerrys are permitted in the facility, even for visitors.

The jail, a two-story concrete building next to train tracks and beneath a bustling freeway, has been an all-female facility since March 2006. It's located in an industrial area about five miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles.

"I did have a choice to go to a pay jail," Hilton said Sunday, without giving details. "But I declined because I feel like the media portrays me in a way that I'm not and that's why I wanted to go to county, to show that I can do it and I'm going to be treated like everyone else. I'm going to do the time, I'm going to do it the right way."

When she was sentenced May 4, Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer ruled that she would not be allowed any work release, furloughs or use of an alternative jail or electronic monitoring in lieu of jail.

Sometimes stars are allowed to do their time in a jail of their choosing. In such cases they pay a daily room-and-board fee to the smaller jails, which afford them more privacy and comfort.

Cop-slapping actress Zsa Zsa Gabor, for example, served three days behind bars in 1990 at the El Segundo jail near the Los Angeles International Airport. She paid $85 a day.

On Saturday, about 15 photographers, reporters and television crews staked out the entrances to the jail waiting for the celebutante's arrival. Authorities had also cordoned off a grassy area outside the facility for the media. She had until Tuesday to report.

On Sunday, about a dozen photographers and television crews were at the Lynwood facility when she arrived in an unmarked SUV. Video captured by celebrity news site TMZ.com showed Hilton inside the vehicle with her mother, Kathy.

Hilton's publicist, Elliot Mintz, said he spoke with Kathy Hilton after she returned from the jail.

"She told me it was very emotional," Mintz said. "She also said that she feels this will be a time when Paris will be able to think and reflect and to spend time alone to learn from the experience because in Paris' life she's never alone - there's always a constant chatter around her."

Officers arrested Hilton in Hollywood on Sept. 7. In January, she pleaded no contest to the reckless-driving charge and was sentenced to 36 months' probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines.

She was pulled over by California Highway Patrol on Jan. 15. Officers informed Hilton she was driving on a suspended license and she signed a document acknowledging she was not to drive. She then was pulled over by sheriff's deputies on Feb. 27, at which time she was charged with violating her probation.

Paris Hilton 'doing very well' in jail 

RTE   The Simple Life' star Paris Hilton is reportedly "doing very well" since entering jail to begin her 23 day sentence on Sunday.

Hilton's lawyer told reporters outside the jail yesterday that she is "using this time to reflect on her life, to see what she can do to make the world better".

Attorney Richard A Hutton said: "Her attitude is: 'I'm going to come in here, I'm going to do my time, get it over with, and I'm going to show the world who I really am'."

"This is unjust, unfair, and she really is, unfortunately, a victim of a system that we pride so much on being fair. But for Paris Hilton it is not," he said.

Hutton said that Hilton had been segregated from the general population of the prison for safety reasons.

"Because of who she is, they had no choice - and believe me, we are more interested in her safety more than anything else - but they had no choice but to place her in administrative segregation."

Hilton reported to jail late on Sunday after attending the MTV Movie Awards at the weekend.

Photos: Paris heads to jail Hilton sentence hot topic at MTV Awards The sentence, and what she can expect Cameras forbidden during jail stintCP Video: Hilton gets 45 days Heiress enters prison hours after MTV bash

Jun 05, 2007 04:30 AM

LOS ANGELES–From camera flashes on the red carpet of a Hollywood awards show to the walls of a jail cell.

That's Paris Hilton.

The 26-year-old heiress, a symbol of privilege and celebrity culture, arrived early yesterday for booking into a Los Angeles County jail, a day ahead of her court-ordered deadline, to serve three weeks for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

She surrendered herself in downtown Los Angeles hours after surprising fans at the MTV Movie Awards in a strapless black dress. She was transferred to the nearby Century Regional Detention Facility for women, where she was fingerprinted, photographed, and issued an ID wristband, orange jail clothing and toiletries.

A sheriff's spokesperson said Hilton was "calm" and "focused" during booking. After a visit yesterday, her lawyer said Hilton will use her jail time to decide how she can "make the world a better place."

Hilton's lawyer, Richard Hutton, said the jailbird heiress is being held in solitary confinement, and added that she is effectively a prisoner of her own celebrity.

He made the claim in an address to the media yesterday outside the Century Regional Detention Facility, where she is being held.

"I met with Paris this morning. She is doing very well under the circumstances. The staff here inform us she has been gracious, polite, and thankful for their help with her," he told the assembled journalists.

"We came in last night, early, rather than being a public spectacle this morning. That was Paris's request, to demonstrate that she takes this very seriously. She did not want to make a media circus out of this event but rather surrender quietly and start doing her time," he added.
