Report: Paris Hilton’s jail time could be cut in half
LOS ANGELES — Paris Hilton may spend far less than 45 days in county jail for violating probation because of state policies and jail overcrowding, authorities said Thursday.
Hilton could spend three weeks or less behind bars because of a state requirement that grants inmates time off for good behavior and because of overcrowding in the system that has led to freeing some inmates before they complete their full terms, Los Angeles County sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore said.
"It’s possible that it could be 21 days, 23 days. It’s a complicated formula that the state sets down. It’s possible that she could do less time,” Whitmore said.
As for overcrowding, "our jail is bursting at the seams” and some women inmates have been released after serving only 10 percent of their sentence, Whitmore said.
Last year, "Lost” actress Michelle Rodriguez was sentenced to 60 days in jail for violating probation after her drunken driving arrest in Hawaii. She was released in hours because of overcrowding.
Hilton’s time will be determined when she is booked into the county system, Whitmore said.
Lindsay Lohan says she took lessons for her role as a stripper in her next movie
NEW YORK — Lindsay Lohan made David Letterman’s heart beat faster when she told him she plays a stripper in her next film, "I Know Who Killed Me.”
"You’re just gonna kill me, you know I have a heart condition. You’re just gonna kill me,” the CBS’ "Late Show” host said Wednesday night.
The 20-year-old actress said the audience will be seeing "a lot” of her in the "really dark, scary film.”

Lohan also said she took lessons for the role.
"It’s really difficult to get yourself up there,” she said.
Lohan was at a loss for words when Letterman talked about her "Georgia Rule” co-star Jane Fonda. Last year, Fonda praised a studio executive’s scolding of Lohan for her absences on the set of the movie.
"You’re 20, Jane Fonda is 70 for god’s sakes and looks just tremendous, and more than looks great, has this palpable sense of vitality,” Letterman said. "It radiates.”
Lohan was silent for a moment, then replied: "She does, no, she’s amazing.”
"Georgia Rule,” also starring Felicity Huffman, was to open in theaters Friday.
