Rumors are flying that Paris Hilton will be charged with possession of a controlled substance today. 0.8 grams of cocaine, to be specific, according to TMZ. More bad news for Paris: according to TMZ, she was more than a little evasive about the purse in question that ultimately caused the drug bust. From TMZ:

At the hotel, Paris told the cop she needed lip balm so the cop handed Paris her purse: “As she began to open it, I saw a small bindle of what I believed to be cocaine in a clear baggie begin to fall from the purse and into my hand.”

… she said the cocaine was not and claimed the purse was not hers — that she had borrowed it from a friend. The cop questioned Paris about the cocaine and according to cops Paris gave an odd answer: “She said she had not seen it, but now thought it was gum.”

Oops!
Later on, Paris claimed that the purse was in fact, hers, but that it had been in the possession of a friend. Not too cool, Paris. Though after this summer’s world tour of Marijuana detentions, I’m sure this will work out fine as well, Good luck Paris!

The LA Times is reporting that heiress Paris Hilton was arrested in Las Vegas Friday night after LVPD found a small amount of Cocaine in a purse inside the vehicle Paris was in. Supposedly the cops pulled over the SUV containing Hilton after noticing a cloud of Marijuana smoke coming out of the windows. Hilton has stated that the purse is not hers.

Also reported, though unconfirmed is that Cy Waits, Hilton’s nightclub-entrepreneur boyfriend was Hilton and was allegedly arrested on suspicion of drug-related DUI.

Kat Stacks, controversial personality in the Hip-Hop community, posted a video to WorldStarHipHop.com that shows what she claims is the inside of a hotel room where she allegedly met rapper Soulja Boy for sex. She shows off lines of what she claims is Cocaine, makes several remarks insinuating that Soulja Boy is a heavy Cocaine user, and disparages his sexual performance. She goes on to post a phone conversation that is supposed to be Soulja boy, and showing her Twitter, which has messages from what is alleged to be his Twitter account. Who knows. Right now the video is live on WorldStarHipHop.com

Lady Gaga, music superstar, admits that she is ‘terrified’ of Heroin, but is still an ‘occasional’ fan of Cocaine. Despite claiming she had hit ‘rock bottom’ to Rolling Stone Magazine earlier this year:

She told Rolling Stone magazine, “Sometimes it really freaks me out… when I think about laying in my apartment with bug bites from bedbugs and roaches on the floor and mirrors with cocaine everywhere and no will or interest in doing anything but making music and getting high.”

She then tells Vanity Fair that she still does Cocaine!
“I won’t lie; it’s occasional. And when I say occasional, I mean maybe a couple of times a year.”

Rapper Lil Wayne filed a petition to have cameras banned from his upcoming felony drug case. The case stems from Lil Wayne’s arrest at the beginning of 2009 in Arizona, where the police found Lil Wayne in possession of cocaine, ecstasy, and marijuana. The rapper was also arrested for having a pistol in the vehicle, but the gun was registered, and the gun charges against Lil Wayne were dropped.

Rapper LIL WAYNE […] - real name Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. - was arrested in Yuma, Arizona in January (09) at a Border Patrol checkpoint when officials allegedly discovered cocaine, ecstasy and marijuana on his tour bus.
Carter was booked on three drug possession charges, with a weapons charge subsequently dropped after the .40 calibre pistol found on the bus was discovered to be registered to Carter in Florida.

In a hearing at Arizona Superior Court on Friday (08May09), Judge Mark Wayne Reeves ruled media interest in the case is prompted “not by the facts but by Carter’s celebrity status”.

Carter is also facing trial in New York on gun possession charges stemming from a 2007 arrest in the Big Apple.
In March (09) the star was exonerated of felony drug charges in Atlanta, Georgia after a judge ruled a police search at the time of his 2006 arrest in the state was carried out illegally.
