For most celebrities, getting smacked with a DUI calls for damage control. Paris Hilton's run-ins with the law have only served to boost her career. After all, if you spend 24/7 publicly styling yourself as a professional partier, then alcohol-related arrests only confirm your party queen status, right?

February 27, 2007: Hilton was again pulled over when authorities saw her car speeding with its headlights turned off. She was charged with violating her probation.

January 15, 2007: California Highway Patrol pulled over Hilton, who was driving on a suspended license. He had her sign a court document acknowledging that she was not permitted to drive.

January 9, 2007: Paris and Britney Spears fend off fashion frump Camilla Parker-Bowles to tie for No. 1 on Mr. Blackwell's 47th annual "Worst Dressed Women List." The catty retired designer called them the "Screamgirls," saying they were "two peas in an over-exposed pod." It's quite a showing for Paris, who only ranked number six on Blackwell's worst-dressed rundown the year prior. Go, Paris!!! What do you think is Paris' most heinous clothing violation?

September 7, 2006: Hilton is arrested by police officers in Hollywood on suspicion of driving under the influence in her Mercedes-Benz SLR. Hilton is briefly handcuffed and subsequently booked at LAPD's Hollywood station at 1:43 a.m. She is released shortly afterward. Her blood-alcohol level tests at .08%. Her excuse: "I was in a rush to get some food."

2006: Paris scores two Razzie nominations, one for Most Tiresome Tabloid Target and the other in the Worst Supporting Actress category for her "performance" in the 2005 stinker House of Wax. She wins the latter.


December 13, 2005: Paris is voted worst celebrity dog owner by two magazines: The NY Dog and The Hollywood Dog. The rap was earned because Paris would take her dog Tinkerbell to parties with her and neglect the dog immediately. She then lost Tinkerbell and replaced Tink with another Chihuahua. She then replaced that Chihuahua with a ferret, and replaced the ferret with monkey. She's such a bad pet owner that the writers of South Park took it upon themselves to show a cartoon version of Tinkerbell shooting itself after spending time with Hilton.


2005: Paris earns the reputation as a fickle fiance when she breaks off her engagement to Paris Latsis. When asked why she dumped Mr. Latsis for Greek shipping heir, Stavros Niarchos, she told Fox News "He wasn't hot enough." This is the second engagement she has broken off -- the first was to Jason Shaw in 2003.




2005: Hilton once again stirs her pot of controversy with a TV commercial for Carl's Jr.'s Spicy BBQ Burger. The ad consisted of Paris in a skimpy outfit washing a Bentley and taking the sexiest bite of a burger in TV history. The steamy commercial drew criticism, most overtly from the LA-based Parents Television Council which labeled the commercial little more than "soft core porn."




2004:1 Night in Paris, the porn video featuring Paris frolicking with then-boyfriend Rick Salomon, in a way is responsible for launching Paris' celebutante career. Those who don't give Paris credit for having a brain should be reminded that the vid came to light conveniently just in time to help boost her debuting TV series, The Simple Life. The sad rounds of mutual litigation between Paris and Salomon were the icing on the cake and prepared us all for the constant presence of Paris in our lives.

It should be noted that the video received no less than three adult video awards in 2005: "Best Selling Title of the Year," "Best Renting Title of the Year," and "Best Overall Marketing Campaign – Individual Project." Best overall individual marketing campaign? And how.
