After Paris Hilton was first detained by Japanese immigration officials and then was denied entry into the country, poor little Paris was forced to leave the country and return home to the US. Today we get to see photos of pariah Paris as she landed here in SoCal yesterday with her tail firmly between her legs. Additionally, we learn what exactly happened in Japan that forced her expulsion from the Land of the Rising Sun:
Paris Hilton was refused entry to Japan on Wednesday because of a drug conviction, immigration officials said. The American celebrity socialite was expected to head back to the United States late Wednesday afternoon. She had arrived in Japan on Tuesday and had been allowed to spend the night, to see whether immigration officials would reconsider their initial refusal to allow her entry. They stuck by their decision Wednesday, based on her having pleaded guilty to a drug charge earlier in the week in Las Vegas, Nevada. Japan generally denies entry to foreigners who are on probation. Hilton had traveled to Japan because of “business obligations planned many months earlier,” her spokesman said. “Paris was contractually bound to her business trip and didn’t want to let down her brands and many Asian fans,” the spokesman said. Hilton entered guilty pleas to misdemeanor charges of drug possession and obstruction of an officer, but a felony cocaine possession charge was dropped on Monday. She was sentenced to a year on probation, a $2,000 fine and 200 hours of community service … Hilton admitted in court Tuesday that a small amount of cocaine found in her pocketbook was hers.
At last … a punishment for Paris that has a little bite. It seems that Hilton is able to avoid paying any real penalties for her criminal behavior but Japan’s decision to expunge her from their country seems like a pretty effective punishment to me. Not only does it tell Paris that an entire country wants nothing to do with her but it also proves to be a HUGE embarrassment for her. Well done, Japan … well done. Again, it’s hard to feel sorry for someone who is able to fly around the world via private plane so I really feel no sympathy for poor little Paris Hilton. Maybe if she really understands that she needs to be punished for her crimes she’ll actually behave herself.
