Paris Hilton on a new jail house diet

Paris Hilton may have discovered the new starlet diet, which could be later followed by other members of young Hollywood.

According to pals, Paris is so terrified about going to jail that she isn't eating. Between lowering her calorie intake, the hotel heiress has also been excessively exercising to ensure she is fit enough for jail. The effect could see Paris rejoining the size zero club.

With Nicole Richie in legal trouble and Lindsay Lohan both in rehab, the trend could have disastrous effects.

A friend told PEOPLE magazine, "Paris hasn't been eating at all and her parents and friends are beyond worried about her. She breaks down crying a lot because she just can't deal with the reality and the pressure of everything that is happening"

The insider continues that Paris has discovered who her friends really are since being sentenced to jail time. It seems her friends didn't have a problem with the amateur porn film, the tabletop dancing or the less-is-best dressing but they can't get their pretty little heads around prison.

The source added, "As for her friends, that's been another spot of stress for Paris. She really can't take how most people around her have scattered and distanced themselves."

Since her sentence was handed down, Paris has been covering her already slender body with demure clothes and spending time with her immediate family. She will serve 23 days in prison starting June 5.

Brandy & Driver point accusing fingers at each other for accident that left one person dead

Brandy recently decided to sue a man who was injured in a car crash involving the singer. However, the catch is that Mallory Ham is also suing Brandy for negligence and things most likely aren't going to go down without a fight in the Superior Court.

Brandy states in court documents that Mallory is to blame for the car accident that occurred on December 30, which left one person dead - Los Angeles resident Awatef Aboudihaj.

In papers that were filed by Mallory last week, however, the man insists that the singer-turned-actress was driving recklessly when the two cars collided and the finger of blame should be pointed to her instead. He is also seeking unspecified damages.

It has yet to be determined if Brandy will be charged for misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter. If she is, the 28-year-old can be slammed with a $1,000 fine and almost a year in jail.

Meanwhile, Brandy has made no comment on the matter. Her lawyer, Edwin McPherson said, "She's just responding to pieces of litigation as they come in and doesn't want to comment at this time," reports FOX News.

Richard Gere may face 3 months in jail for kissing in public in india

It seems like the court system in India is treating Richard Gere as if he just committed a horrible, murderous crime. An Indian judge recently issued a warrant out for the actor's arrest after he was seen publicly swapping saliva - okay, okay, their mouths were closed - with Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty.

The affectionate gesture of kissing is considered "an obscene act" in the conservative country, if it's done outside the privacy of your own home. Unfortunately for Richard, the incident got out of control when a lawyer reared his big head and began complaining that such an act is illegal as far as he's concerned.

Judge Dinesh Gupta agreed and, according to Life Style Extra, said the smooching scene was "highly sexually erotic" and "transgressed all limits of vulgarity."

But Shetty thinks considers that an outrage. She recently said people need to stop making a big deal about something so silly - not to mention natural. PTI quotes her as saying, "I understand this is his culture, not ours. But this was not such a big thing or so obscene for people to overreact in such manner."

She added, "I understand people's sentiments, but I don't want a foreigner to take bad memories from here."

ABC news reports that those convicted of public obscenity may face time in jail - up to three months - while also being required to pay a fine.

Eve escaped death narrowly

Rapper Eve has been arrested on suspicion of DUI after crashing her car.

The rapper and actress - who starred in "XXX" alongside Vin Diesel - narrowly escaped death after she drove her gold Maserati into the central reservation on Hollywood Boulevard at around 2.45 a.m. on Thursday.

The star - full name Eve Jeffers - was handcuffed by police and taken in a squad car to the Los Angeles County jail.

A witness said: "She was visibly upset. The car was totaled."

There were reportedly two passengers in the vehicle at the time.

In a bizarre twist, Eve was visited in jail by Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn, who was seen leaving the police station in a taxi at 4 a.m. A police source told gossip website TMZ.com: "He came to see how Eve was doing."

It is not known if Penn had been out with Eve earlier that night.

The Grammy-award winning artist - who once had her own self-titled sitcom - was later released on bail and picked up in another Maserati.
