Paris Hilton denied entry to Japan

Paris Hilton has been denied entry into Japan. The ex-con was due to visit in order to promote her fashion and fragrance collection but was blocked at the Tokyo airport as officials wanted to question her following her appearance in a Las Vegas court on Monday. Hilton had pleaded guilty to possessing cocaine, and received a one-year suspended sentence, community service and a $2,000 fine. The heiress was forced to spend the night at a hotel after Japanese officials interrogated her. It’s believed the questioning lasted a total of six hours over two days. Japan has a very strict immigration policy which means anybody who has been convicted of a drug offence cannot visit the country, although Paris had still hoped to enter because occasionally exceptions are said to be granted. The 29-year-old celebrity is thought to have taken the news well as she prepared for the return journey to her Hollywood home. “I’m going back home, and I look forward to coming back to Japan in the future,” she told reporters at Tokyo’s airport.

Good for Japan.
I agree. I am so tired of hearing about non celebs such as Hilton and the Kardashiens, etc.
Me toooo – also Lindsay Lohan.
Ditto that!
would have thought her manager(s) promotional people would have known about Japanese laws before her trip….
Not as easy to enter Japan as it is to enter Paris LOL:)
Germain, that is disgusting, and hilarious!
Good for Japan. I would hope that more countries will do the same. No Entry to convicts. If an American judge won’t throw her in jail for cocaine possession, then at least make the dumb bitch stay home. In passing… I notice from the above picture, that the skank bought herself a set of tits. Must be getting ready to do a full page lay-out somewhere. What a loser!!!
The japanees did something right, more countries should have such policies on keeping the undesierabes out of there countries. Sorry Paris, you will haveto stay at some other Hilton,maybe Cubar mexico…………..
Would be nice if Canada denied her access too (if she ever came up).
Good for the Japanese. You guys rock.
Can you believe how pathetic she is?? I mean that’s how DRY the news is out there for celebrities…we have to resort to getting this crap mentioned?? I mean who is Paris Hilton anyway??? who cares… it’s like a funny comedian said awhile back it’s not like she comes from such a great line of blood..take Hilton Hotels …it’s no Ritz Carlton…she’s like a Holiday inn…and so is her life…except she’s so pathetic that she has to resort to this kind of news…what a waste of wealth…
Im so sick of that dumb no talent bitch
She can stay home and play with the bunnies.
Notice everyone feels the same way? Yup, ol’ Paris AND her publicity people thought she was above the law. She was put in her place and sent home. I love it. I also agree with Monique that Canada (my country too) should use its backbone and take Japan’s example.
I am so sick of all the clebs thinking that they are above and beyond the law. Paris or any other convicted cleb should not be allowed to enter Canada. In the US they are so blinded by clebrity that when it comes to them, the legal system is a joke. How many of those clebs that were convicted of a crime spent less than a day in jail? What a joke. We didn’t allow Martha Stewart entry into Canada for the pumpkin boat races, but the following weekend Paris was in Toronto AFTER she had been in jail. Go figure. I guess if Martha was famous for being a skanky pig we would’ve gladly let her in.
