Just two minutes ago as of this writing, Paris Hilton issued this tweet on her Twitter account @ParisHilton:
About to take off. Going home now. So dissappointed to miss my fans in Asia. I promise to come back soon. I love you all! Love Paris xoxo2 minutes ago via ÜberTwitter
That's the latest news in a story that started like this.
Paris Hilton flew to Japan on business with her sister Nikky Hilton 21 hours ago. As soon as she stepped off the plane Paris, who pled guilty to a charge of cocaine possession in Las Vegas, was questioned by Japanese immigration authorities.
According to TMZ.com, Paris Hilton's representative said the socialite, actress, and business woman has obligations to her brand partners in Asia which called for the trip, planned months ago.
Japan is reportedly and now obviously very strict about letting foreigners with drug convictions into the country. But Paris could be allowed to go beyond the hotel she's reportedly "trapped" in as these matters are determined on a case-by-case basis.
Well, the Japanese did not decide this case in Paris Hilton's favor. But it's a good wake up call for Paris. She now understands, one hopes, the full extent of the consequences of not following the law.
Someone of her friends and associates should have checked into the matter of her ability to travel to Japan if only to avoid the embarrassment that Ms. Hilton's facing.
But it could have been much worse. Suppose Japan had a policy of jailing those convicted of drug crimes just for trying to enter the country? Paris could have been behind bars yet again. Thankfully that's not the case this time.
Hopefully, this is the last time she's in this kind of trouble.
