UPDATE: Breaking News: Paris Hilton Arrested

Paris Hilton was arrested last night in Las Vegas after being found in possession of cocaine, according to TMZ.

According to police, Paris was the passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over outside the Wynn Hotel. The driver was arrested for DUI (drug-related, not alcohol) and when cops searched Hilton, they found her in possession of a controlled substance.
Police say tests revealed the substance to be cocaine.
She was arrested and released on her own recognizance.

Oy vey. You know we're going to hear more about this, so stay tuned...
Update: TMZ reports that Paris is using a defense similar to what she claimed in South Africa.

Sources who have spoken with Paris since her arrest on the Vegas strip late last night tell TMZ ... she insists the purse -- with what we're told contained a small amount of cocaine -- was not hers.

Paris has hired "powerful" defense attorney David Chesnoff to handle her defense. Although she was the only woman in the car when police stopped it, apparently there were other women in the car earlier that evening.

Yeah, 'cause women leave their purses behind all the time. Do you think Paris will manage to get away with this again?  (imnotobsessed)
