Paris Hilton may have a feud going with someone who isn’t best-known for nightclubbing: her former lawyer.The ex-jailbird heiress is “furious” with Richard Hutton, the lawyer who represented her in her DUI case, says a source close to the Hilton family, who claims that her camp is looking into possible legal action against him.
“The way this case was handled was a disaster,” the insider says. “Nobody goes to jail for DUI that long. It was all the lawyer’s fault and we’re looking into what recourse we have.” The source says legal action may be in the future.
Because we know, of course, that Hutton made her drive drunk, violate the terms of her probation, and behave like an arrogant little bimbo throughout the entire fiasco.

Unemployed gabfest queen Rosie O'Donnell, who last went to war with Elisabeth Hasselbeck only to retreat from her position on "The View," has drafted a reinforcement in the form of her waif-like 4-year-old daughter Vivienne Rose, better known as "Vivi."O'Donnell posted a video and photo of her little soldier on her Web site Rosie.com on Tuesday, which drew immediate reaction — some not so kind — about the media transformation of her daughter from little princess to bullet-toting guerrilla fighter.
I'm surprised that Vivi isn't wearing a little suicide vest -- you know, like the one the Taliban tried to get a six-year-old to detonate recently.
I wonder if this will secure her Joe Scarborough’s slot on MSNBC – making that cable network “fair and balanced†in the eyes of America’s Left.

Sam Anderson never hesitated. Not for a moment.The walk-on forward for the University of Houston knew the decision most likely would end his basketball career, but Anderson knew the man at the other end of the phone — his cousin, Steven Anderson, 46 — was desperate for help, and that's all that mattered.
Steven Anderson's health was rapidly deteriorating because of renal failure, so one day he thought of Sam and picked up the phone. It was his only option, and Steven had put off this phone call as long as possible.
After all, everyone in the Anderson family knew how much Sam loved basketball. It had been Sam's haven as a child back home in Detroit, a refuge from the cold realities of the streets, where friends were devoured by drugs and violence.
But Sam Anderson didn't hesitate -- he said yes to his cousin almost before the question was out of his mouth. It may (but may not) be the end of his basketball career -- but the beginning of something much more important, a healthy life for his cousin.
And by way of explanation, I put that "may not" up there for a reason. During my first year of teaching, one of our students gave a kidney to her sister, and then returned to be a starter on the basketball team the following year, and even received a college scholarship to play basketball. I hope that Sam Anderson can do the same. But even if he can't, the UH program offers him support.
Cougars coach Tom Penders said that the door always will be open for Sam Anderson, as a player or even if he wants to start coaching.Anything to help "one of the most remarkable" people Penders has met.
"This is one of the greatest stories I've ever seen," Penders said. "All I can say is that Sam is going to heaven before I do."
Now there is a coach with his priorities in order.

When was the last time you read a celebrity profile that was "disparaging, demeaning or derogatory"?The rules of the game, as established by the glossy magazines and the stars' PR reps, ensure that "access" (well, a half-hour chat in a restaurant that enables the magazine to proclaim it has an "exclusive" interview) and the all-important exclusive cover shot are granted only to those magazines and journalists who will refrain from anything but fawning prose. It works out well for everybody. Celebrity journalists who play along get a good payday, magazines get newsstand sales bumps, and the rest of us are inculcated into the received myths of Celebland, the legends that sustain the illusion that it is somehow truly important.
Sure, it's possible to publish a rant on the Web (as U.K. journalist Brendan O'Neill did in a devastating piece calling Brad and Angelina "celebrity colonialists"), but such critiques are largely irrelevant to the vast, well-oiled, pap-dispensing Publicity-Industrial Complex (a phrase I believe I was the first to use, in an essay arguing that J.D. Salinger's rejection of this apparatus is a reticence to be admired rather than ridiculed).
The fact is, celebrities don't need a signed contract—celebrity profilers know that the power lies in the hands of PR people, who in many cases demand writer approval before committing one of their stars to a cover story. And no profiler who makes a lucrative living off elaborate fawning wants to do anything that might jeopardize his pre-approval status.
So when Angelina Jolie is proclaiemd "the best woman in the world" by Esquire, don't be surprised. And when celebrity activism gets trumpeted as proof of the heightened caring and moral superiority of the over-privileged entertainment class, don't be shocked. After all, questioning the validity of the cause or the contentions of the star can end your career.

It didn't take long for the judge in this case to order Paris Hilton taken back into custody and returned to jail following her release contrary to his stipulated conditions.
A sobbing, shouting Paris Hilton was led from the courtroom Friday and ordered by a judge to return to jail to serve out the remainder of her 45-day sentence."It's not right," yelled Hilton, rising from her seat at the defendant's table.
"Mom! Mom! Mom!" she cried out to her mother, Kathy, who collapsed in tears in the front row of the courtroom.
Hilton, who was brought from her home to the court in handcuffs in a sheriff's car, entered the courtroom red-eyed and trembling, and she cried throughout the hour-long hearing, dabbing her face with tissues, biting her knuckles, and shaking her head. She sat slumped at the table throughout the proceeding, wearing a gray sweater, her blond hair pinned up.
Guess what. Paris -- welcome to how the other 99.9% of Americans live! The only thing not right about the situation here is that you were ever released in the first place, and that you were not sent to the jail medical facility for treatment, just like any other jailed criminal would have been in the same situation. Funny, isn't it, that the sheriff's department was able to find just such a facility for you once he was righteously slapped down by the judge in this case.
Personally, I believe your effort to dodge your earlier sentence should be a basis for making you serve the full time in jail, with no time off for good behavior. Hell, you would not know good behavior if it came up and bit you on the ass! Too bad it is unlikely that you will have to spend the full 45 days without personally prepared gourmet meals, sleeping on low-thread count sheets.
I hope that at every future appearance there are folks who should "Mom! Mom! Mom!" at you, mocking your wimpy inability to do the time for your crime.
By the way -- has the sheriff been held in contempt by the judge? And what penalty has been imposed for his flouting of the court order to keep her in jail and the court order to bring Paris to court for a 9:00 hearing?
Regardless, I guess this means that the Jailhouse Rock Party at Paris' house scheduled for tonight has been canceled.

There are some official casting announcements for the fourth Indiana Jones, but the biggest news is who will NOT be in the movie.Sean Connery says he has decided to pass on reprising his role as the archaeologist adventurer's antiquities-obsessed father, a role he played only once, in 1989's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
The 76-year-old Scottish star, best known for launching the James Bond franchise, says he decided to retire in 2005 and he's sticking to it.
"I get asked the question so often, I thought it best to make an announcement. I thought long and hard about it, and if anything could have pulled me out of retirement, it would have been an Indiana Jones film," Connery said in a statement Thursday.
The actor praised director Steven Spielberg and producer George Lucas and said it was an "honor" to have star Harrison Ford play his son: "But in the end, retirement is just too damned much fun."
Your fans really want to see you light up the silver screen one last time, Sean. And for this film, nothing but the best will do. And you, sir, are the best.
