Paris Hilton and that problematic purse [poll]
Paris Hilton reportedly told friends Saturday that the purse she was toting during her arrest the night before belonged to a friend. On Monday, her story allegedly shifted: Paris' purse, yes; Paris' cocaine, no. Heck, even if it had been gum, it wasn't hers.
But a Twitpic the heiress posted in July would seem to suggest the Chanel bag -- seen in paparazzi pictures of the Las Vegas traffic stop that resulted in Hilton's arrests on a felony drug possession charge -- indeed belonged to her.
The likely ruling-out of the "not mine" explanation seems to bring us back to the more sophisticated "I didn't notice the leftover packet of powdery white stuff in the bag when I jammed my big wad of cash into it" argument. Who knows? It's a pretty huge purse, with lots of room for losing things.
Is it just us, or is that illegal search defense looking better and better?
