In September 2006, Paris Hilton had her driver's license suspended for drunk driving. In late February 2007, Hilton was again pulled over by police officers for driving at night without her lights on. Officers determined that she was behind the wheel without a valid driver's license, violating the terms of her probation. Therefore, on May 4, 2007, a California court sentenced her to 45 days in prison at the Century Regional Detention Center in Lynwood . The court considered Hilton's apology that her spokesman, Elliott Mintz, misinformed her about the parole terms as irrelevant. The hotel heiress had justified her repeated driving without a license in court by saying that Mintz had repeatedly told her that her driver's license was only revoked for a month and that she could continue to drive "for professional purposes". She had to serve her sentence on May 5. June 2007, otherwise this would have doubled to 90 days. [2] Elliott Mintz was fired from Paris Hilton that same day. Hilton's attorney immediately appealed the verdict. Paris Hilton tried to have the verdict reviewed by writing letters to various politicians , including California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger . Their efforts apparently had an effect, because on 17. In May 2007, her sentence was reduced to 23 days. Prison officials gave Hilton credit for showing up on time for the final court hearing. [3]

On the morning of June 8, Hilton was summoned back to court. Judge Michael T. Sauer found that the release to house arrest was illegal and that Hilton was serving her full sentence in prison.

From May 2008, her reality show My new BFF (= "best friend forever") was filmed in Los Angeles. Hilton used this show to find a new best friend. [6] Because of the great interest and the high number of viewers in the USA, Hilton subsequently shot a British [7] and a Dubai [8] version of her show.
