Paris Hilton Arrested For Cocaine: Call David Letterman

Paris Hilton's Las Vegas arrest for cocaine possession, coupled with the two other times this year that she was suspected of possessing marijuana, signal a return to her careless, freewheeling habits that eventually landed her in the slammer for 23-days in 2007 and for alcohol-related reckless driving, and caused a much watched release from jail:



Later that year on September 29, 2007, Paris Hilton appeared on The Late Show With David Letterman and to make up a show she was supposed to do earlier that year except that she was in jail in Los Angeles.

But, apparently perceiving that Paris had not fully learned her lesson, even though she cried in court and reportedly had a hard early set of days adjusting to what was a "traumatic" experience, Letterman put the heat on Paris:



In an interview that CBS On YouTube edited out 4 minutes of (and should not have) - the version above is the full discussion - Letterman asked her what it was like to be in jail and thwarted her attempts to change the subject. David said that Paris Hilton was in a position to give good advise to a lot of young people.

Also, Paris Hilton said she was going to get more involved in non-profit efforts and help people less fortunate than themselves. And by implication, Hilton was going to stop her substance-abuse habits.

Now, it's 2010, and Parid Hilton's back to her old ways, only worse, it seems. Earlier this year, Hilton was arrested in South Africa for suspected possession of marijuana, but the South African authorities dropped the charges after a friend confessed the pot was hers.

Just two weeks later, Hilton was jailed in France for having less than a gram of weed in her purse.

Why?

First, why does Paris do this? Second, why does she insist on having boyfriends who are nightclub owners? Do they supply her with the drugs she needs to get high?

Is Paris Hilton setting herself up for a 2007 replay? Can someone intervene and reengineer Paris Hilton's brain before it's too late?

Paris Hilton has all of the ingredients to be a more successful business woman. But she's not going to get there without a severe intervention on the part of people who really care.

Like David Letterman.
