Paris Hilton says DUI arrest ‘was nothing’

Paris' prior problems
This isn’t the first legal problem for the blonde heiress.

In February, a Superior Court judge ordered Hilton to stay away from event producer Brian Quintana after he claimed she shoved him on at least three occasions and badmouthed him.

A month earlier, actress and diamond heiress Zeta Graff filed a multimillion dollar lawsuit against Hilton claiming that Hilton spewed “vicious lies” to the New York Post about an altercation the two had in a London nightclub.

In November, Hilton was a passenger in a silver Bentley that a companion drove into the back of a large commercial truck, scratching the hood of the car. The mishap was captured on videotape. Cameras were also rolling when Hilton’s Range Rover backed into a car in a parking garage in June.

Hilton was just a pretty party girl and everyday heiress until a sex-tape she made with an ex-boyfriend surfaced in late 2003. That made her a cyberspace novelty and instant tabloid favorite. Hilton’s reality TV series “The Simple Life” debuted shortly afterward.

In 2004, Hilton released her book, “Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose.” She appeared in episodes of television’s “The O.C.” and “Veronica Mars” and had a role in the 2005 horror flick “House of Wax.”

Hilton released a perfume bearing her name in 2004. Earlier this year, Hilton unveiled her cell-phone video game, “Diamondquest.” She’ll follow that with a line of Paris Hilton purses and cosmetics.

Hilton’s string of boyfriends has also kept her in the news. She was engaged for several months to Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis before dating another Greek shipping heir, Stavros Niarchos III. She has also been linked to former University of Southern California football star Matt Leinert, who recently signed with the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals.

Recently, Hilton announced she had taken a vow of sexual abstinence.
