Paris Hilton must have a huge target on her back this summer. She’s had two near busts and now last night she was arrested for possession of cocaine.

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.

More Details…..

The 29-year-old Hilton was in a car driven by a friend when it was stopped about 11:30 p.m. MDT Friday when officers noticed what they suspected to be marijuana smoke coming from it, he told The Associated Press.

“Officers noticed a vehicle leaving smoke trail of a controlled substance (and) made a stop based on that,” Martin said.

During the stop, officers found what appeared to be a drug on Hilton and later tests showed that it was cocaine, Martin said. He didn’t know how much was found.

He said Hilton was apparently recognized by passers-by and a crowd quickly gathered in the area where the vehicle had been pulled over.

Police watch commander Lt. Wayne Holman said Hilton released early Saturday morning. He didn’t know how long she had been held nor any details about a possible court date.

He said the man who was driving the car was arrested on charges of driving under the influence of drugs. But he didn’t have any other details, including his name

At the time of this posting Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil was sitting in the Clark County, Nevada jail waiting to be bailed out for DUI.

This is not Vince’s first time at the DUI rodeo…you may or may not remember (depending on how old you are) the ugly mess Vince himself in back in 1984.

Vince spent a measly 30 days in jail and was fined $2.5 million for driving drunk in the 1984 car crash, which cost his passenger and good friend, HANOI ROCKS star Razzle his life. That’s  how The Crue rolled back in the 80′s. They were so big even vehicular homicide only cost him 30 days in the slammer. Vince said many times since then it wasn’t enough and he continues to be haunted by his friends death to this day.

He’s never really been the same since and his addiction problems have just gotten worse over the years.

I was totally on board with Joaquin Phoenix’s decision to retire from acting to pursue his music career. But I was NOT on board with his genre of choice being hip-freakin-hop. JP performed his new rap act for a crowd of fans at club LAVO in Las Vegas this weekend.

“This is me saying this is who I am. This is my story. After all the years of reading scripts and reading lines, this is my chance to do something straight from the heart and put it out there,” he said. And why hip-hop? “When I was young I liked punk rock music but then I discovered rap. I love the storytelling aspect of hip-hop.”

While JP was rappin his scraggly little heart out, his brother-in-law, Casey Affleck was taping the performance for the documentary the two are working together that will chronicle JP’s transition into the music industry.

Joaquin spit out three songs to the sounds of a drum beat and encouraged everyone in the audience to dance. Although no one really took him up on the offer…they did watch intently wondering if he was for real or maybe if he was drinking again.

Though dancing was at a minimum, the crowd watched intently as a scraggly Phoenix – who donned a scraggly beard, long, unkempt hair and a ripped gray hat – hopped up and down and pumped his fist in the air during certain lyrics.

I think it’s safe to assume that the rumors about Ryan Phillippe’s affair with Abbie Cornish breaking up his marriage to Reese Witherspoon ended up being true.

It’s also safe to say that Ryan Phillippe is unbelievably short, unless Abbie is wearing three inch heels by the pool.
