Paris Hilton jumped on a plane to Japan right after leaving a Las Vegas courtroom, where she was charged with two misdemeanor offenses stemming from her August drug bust, and it appears her day didn't get much better after that. She got to Tokyo only to be detained by Japanese officials, and now she's apparently being denied entry to the country and is holed up in a hotel until the matter is resolved.
Her representative said: "Paris Hilton was delayed by immigration authorities at a Japanese airport this evening after arriving for business obligations planned many months earlier. Paris was contractually bound to her business trip and didn't want to let down her brands and many Asian fans."
Paris is yet to decide whether to try and get in or just fly back to America.
As well as visiting Japan, Paris was set to head to Jakarta, Indonesia, on Friday to open a Paris Hilton shop before concluding her Asian trip in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Paris, who was given a year’s probation, also intended to unveil her 2010 fall/winter collection of handbags, watches and her new perfume Tease.
Apparently Japan is very strict about letting people into the country with recent drug convictions, and the matters are reportedly handled on a "case by case basis." There's also been talk about the heiress' detainment being just for show.
As well as receiving the probation order, which will result in Paris being jailed for a year if she breaks the terms, the star must also complete a substance-abuse program, pay a $2,000 fine and complete 200 hours of community service.
