MONTREAL — Paris Hilton will have to give at least one autograph before she sets a dainty foot in Canada this weekend — on a request to enter the country submitted to the Canada Border Services Agency.
That’s because the ex-con’s record isn’t limited to her self-titled debut album, “Paris,” which came out in 2006.
A misdemeanour traffic violation led to a criminal conviction for the 27-year-old celebrity that resulted in her spending 22 days behind bars last year.
“The record still stands,” said deputy sheriff Oscar Butao of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. “That doesn’t come off unless she gets it expunged by the judge. It still stands.”
Hilton is due to appear at a downtown Montreal Brown’s shoe store on Saturday to peddle her line of shoes — “Paris Hilton Footware” — which includes platforms, stilettos, flats, wedges, and sporty styles. The first 200 people to make a purchase will get an autograph.
That’s not such a big deal, in my opinion. In front of the law, all people are equal.
