Detroit hasn’t screamed this loud at a baseball park since Kirk Gibson was hitting home runs in the 1984 World Series. Hip-hop history was made as Jay-Z and Eminem co-headlined the Motor City’s Comerica Park (home of the D-Town Tigers for the past decade) on Thursday night (September 2), the first of two shows on consecutive nights.

While Jay’s high-grossing touring schedule helped him to top this year’s Forbes’ “Hip-Hop Cash King” list, Eminem took a much-needed sabbatical to deal with a myriad of personal issues. Now beyond his darkest hour, Em had one of his brightest moments ever onstage. Not only did he gift his hometown with a seemingly endless string of hits, he pulled off some major surprises. After D12, 50 Cent and the G-Unit — acts that fans likely expected — came out for performances with Em, Slim Shady pulled off a shocker. Dr. Dre came out, first stunning the people then delighting them with smashes.

After his name appeared on the Comerica big screen, the man heralded by many as the greatest producer of his time came out to the opening notes of his world-famous “Next Episode.” Then the familiar first keys of “Still Dre” were played.

“Haters say Dre fell off,” the Doc rapped. “How n—a? My last album was The Chronic.”

After that, the Shady/Aftermath duo took it back to Dre’s Chronic days with “Nuthin’ But a ‘G’ Thang.”

“One, two, three and to the fo,” Em rapped in Snoop’s cadence.

” ‘Cause you know we came to rip sh– up!” Dre spit later.

Dr. Dre appeared to be in the best shape of his life. Wearing a T-shirt with the late Proof’s face printed on it, Dre looked strong enough to end the Undertaker’s undefeated streak at Wrestlemania.

“Got dammit, Detroit. Do I love you or what?” Eminem asked his fans. “Look what I brought out for you.”

Em then told Dre he wanted him to feel the love; Detox chants followed.

“Deeee-tox. Deeee-tox,” they yelled from the bleachers to the bullpen. Dre just smiled and said, “I’m Comin’!”

One would-be guest who couldn’t attend for obvious reasons was Lil Wayne. But Shady made sure to salute Weezy after “No Love.” And the Young Money flag did wave proudly in Detroit as Drake came out for “Forever” and gave a special nod to the Motor City.

“In Detroit, faded off the brown,” Drake rapped.

“Nino!!!!” the crowd responded.

“I’m so honored to be here to tonight. This is history in the making. I want y’all to make some noise for the muthaf—in’ legend that is Emimem.”

Em’s legend was largely built off his mastery of music and a catalog made for the kind of environment he played on Thursday: stadiums. The Detroit rapper has been making sing-along anthems throughout his career. Not just tracks you rap in the shower or in the car, but big records like “Sing for the Moment,” “Stan” and “Cleaning Out My Closet” — tracks practically begging for an audience of tens of thousands holding lighters up. Em proved he still has that rare connection with his fanbase. Grown men took off their shirts and got rock-n-roll rowdy when he rapped.

“Got dammit, Detroit, I’m back,” Em said early on in the night. “Did you miss me?”

It was clear that Em missed his fans as well. He was engaging, lively and energetic on this night. After the “Real Slim Shady” and “Without Me,” Em thanked his fans again.

“I love you. This song is for you.” “Not Afraid” followed. After screams of “encore, encore,” Em brought out the Unit, D12 and Detroit legend Trick Trick who had earlier performed on “Lose Yourself.”

Thursday’s Home and Home show kicked off with B.o.B, who came back later for “Airplanes, Pt. 2,” and set the tone with a quick set that included “Nothin’ on You.”

The audience was eventually alerted that the Jiggaman was 10 minutes away from showtime. Two clocks filled two oversize screens on the enormous stage while the Beastie Boys’ “No Sleep Till Brooklyn” blared from the speakers. When the countdown hit “0,” Jay rose from beneath the stage, the lyrically intricate “Dynasty Intro” being played by his band, the Roc Boys. Then a brief snippet of “Lucifer” played before Jay went into his jaw-dropping verse from Rick Ross’ “Free Mason.”

During “D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune),” Jay rhymed “this might need a verse from Jeezy.” On cue, the Snowman came out for the “Dey Know” remix followed by “Soul Survivor.” His mini-set ended with “Put on for My City” and “Lose My Mind.”

After that though, it was the Jay hit parade — with assistance from Memphis Bleek. The Brooklyn duo rocked with a flurry of big records, including “You Don’t Know,” “99 Problems” and “(Originator 99).” During “Big Pimpin’,” Jay delivered Pimp C’s verse in the late UGK legend’s cadence.

“What y’all know about them Deetroit boys?” Hov asked.

A tribute to hip-hop’s fallen soldiers ensued, as the audience shouted in unison, “Prrrrrooooooooof!”

“I know y’all going through a lot, but Detroit has heart and Detroit will be back,” Jay said.

Hov and Slim Shady shared but a few minutes of stage time as Jay emerged for “Renegade” during Em’s set.

The Home and Home Tour continues Friday night (September 3) at Comerica Park and comes to the Bronx, New York, on September 13 and 14 at Yankee Stadium.

Pop star poses alongside Marc Jacobs for the New York issue of V Magazine.

As evidenced by her recent well-publicized attendance at a Mets game and her glorious Madison Square Garden show, Lady Gaga has always repped for her hometown of New York City. So it’s no surprise that Gaga is paying tribute to the Big Apple by posing as the Statue of Liberty alongside fashion guru Marc Jacobs on the fall cover of V Magazine.

Posing with Jacobs, a shopping cart and an old TV set, Gaga stands with her mouth slightly open in a black lace bra and panties with a gray dress sliding off her body. With her toned abs and her hair shaped into a crown, the pop star is holding a burning torch, mimicking the New York landmark. And while Gaga does her best impression of the neoclassical sculpture, Jacobs remains serious and firm, sitting on top of the television in a traditional black-and-white suit. In another photo, the singer is seen crouched in the carriage as she’s pushed around by the fashion designer with her torch held high. Just last year, the singer appeared on the fall issue of the magazine donning Jacobs-designed pieces.

In the issue, which is on sale now, V Magazine highlights some of New York’s most profound figures, people they say “are making the city their own way.”

Editor Stephen Gan revealed that he chose the pop star because her representative values parallel those of the magazine. “Just as the Statue of Liberty was France’s gift to America, Gaga is, to us, New York’s greatest gift to pop culture and fashion,” he said in a statement. “She embodies everything V is about, and is also a beacon of the city’s creativity and hope. Exactly one year after her first V cover (the first fashion magazine cover she was on), we decided to do the NEW YORK issue, and she was the first person who came to mind to represent our great city.”

Gan declared Gaga “a bonafide genius” and credited her as V Magazine’s “muse” of inspiration. “Above all, a New York issue should celebrate people who’ve done great things. We at V are grateful Gaga came along to put the New back in New York!” he concluded.

But the singer doesn’t always leave fashion editors with the best impression. Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour spoke about the pop star during her stop at “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” on Wednesday.

“We had Lady Gaga this year,” she said of the singer’s performance at this year’s Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute Gala. “She was communing with God and she was praying in the back, waiting for God to tell her it was all right to actually go onstage.” Wintour chuckled before revealing that Gaga left the audience waiting for more than 40 minutes.

To learn more about Lady Gaga’s crazy road to fashion icon, watch “VMAs: Revealed Saturday at 11 a.m. on MTV.

Rapper and his wife were booked for felony alleged possession of a controlled substance Wednesday night.

Rapper T.I. and his wife Tameka “Tiny” Cottle were arrested in Los Angeles on Wednesday night for alleged possession of a controlled substance.

According to an arrest report on the incident from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, during the course of a traffic stop involving Tip (born Clifford Harris Jr.), 29, and Cottle, 36, on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood at 10:30 p.m., “deputies smelled a strong odor of marijuana emitting from the vehicle.”

A narcotics investigation followed and both Tiny and T.I. were “found to be in possession of a controlled substance.” At press time, there was no information on which drug the possession charge covered.

TMZ reported that the recently married couple were traveling in a Maybach when they were stopped by deputies.

Both T.I. and Tiny were booked at the West Hollywood sheriff’s station on charges of felony possession of a controlled substance, and bail was set at $10,000 each. Deputy Jeff Gordon confirmed on Thursday morning (September 2) that both had posted bail around 4 a.m. PT and were due back in court on the charges on September 3. A spokesperson for T.I.’s label could not be reached for comment early Thursday morning.

Tip, who celebrated the #1 debut of his film “Takers” last weekend, is on federal probation following a seven-month prison term he completed in March on weapons charges. At press time, Gordon said considering T.I. was allowed to post bail on the drug charge, it did not appear that the rapper’s probation from the federal charge would be impacted by Wednesday night’s arrest.

Twice-nominated pop star owns the summer of 2010 with just-released album.

Katy Perry in her “California Gurls” video

Katy Perry kissed a girl and liked it back in 2008, but since then, she’s proven that she’s more than just a pop singer who dresses like a pinup and makes kooky little tunes. Perry has established herself as a woman to be reckoned with, and she has two chances to take home a Moonman at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, airing live September 12 at 9 p.m.

Shortly after performing the opening number at the 2009 VMAs — and publicly flirting with her now-fiancé and the show’s host Russell Brand — Perry set herself up to become one of the biggest pop stars on 2010 thanks to catchy tunes, sexy wardrobe choices and her fun, colorful personality.

After taking the stage at Radio City Music Hall last year, Perry went on to host the MTV Europe Music Awards, perhaps taking some hosting cues from Brand. After she took her act to Europe, the “Waking up in Vegas” singer found out she had been nominated for a Grammy (spoiler alert: she didn’t win).

Perry and Brand celebrated their love by getting engaged in India on New Year’s Eve. Perry then sat down at the judges’ table on “American Idol,” where she helped pick up some of Paula Abdul’s slack. She later admitted she would “ditch her career” for a permanent spot on the show.

Soon, 2010 would prove to be the year of Katy Perry. She was cast in the “Smurfs” flick, got slimed at the Kids’ Choice Awards, topped Maxim’s Hot 100 and began her reign as pop’s ruling princess when she took the stage at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards and the world became obsessed with her “California Gurls.” Fans became equally obsessed with the VMA-nominated video for the track, which not only has Perry wearing a whipped-cream bra, but also hanging out naked in a cotton-candy cloud, all in the name of defeating evil Snoop Dogg.

The “California Gurls” video would help make the summer of 2010 the summer of Katy Perry, complete with a mini-beef with Lady Gaga over her use of religious imagery in her “Alejandro” video. Once a preacher’s daughter, always a preacher’s daughter.

Nonetheless, her song reached the top of the charts and set up Teenage Dream to dismiss all sophomore-slump fears and debut atop the Billboard 200. But not before she hosted the Teen Choice Awards with some help from the guys of “Glee,” released a sexy clip for “Teenage Dream” and was nominated for Best Pop Video and Best Female Video at the VMAs. It certainly seems like she’s living a teenage dream.

The 27th annual MTV Video Music Awards will be broadcast live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, September 12, at 9 p.m. ET. Fans can go to VMA.MTV.com (or text VMA to 97979 if they are Verizon subscribers) to vote for the winners in general categories, including Best New Artist, from now through September 12.

‘Well, there are three Jonas Brothers versus one Bieber …,’ co-star Chloe Bridges reasons.
By Jocelyn Vena

Demi Lovato told us recently that the littlest Jonas brother, Frankie, has swag like Justin Bieber. And as it turns out, the elder Jonas Brothers, namely Joe, Kevin and Nick, and Justin Bieber are all known for something they have in common, and we’re not talking about their bustling careers. We’re referring to their incredibly famous and all-important heads of hair. While Bieber is known for his signature swoop, the brothers Jonas are recognized for their curly mops.

This fascinating paralell raised a question: Who has better hair, the Jonas Brothers or Justin Bieber? Their “Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam” co-stars weighed in on this battle for the ages.

“I’m friends with the Jonas Brothers [and] I do have to see them later on, but I know that Bieber has this whole thingy, the swoop thingy,” Jasmine Richards pondered. “I’m gonna have to say Jonas Brothers only ’cause their hair’s great. … But Bieber … can I be in the middle?”

Nick Jonas’ “Camp Rock 2″ love interest, Chloe Bridges, compared the decision-making process on this issue to choosing a favorite summer sweet. “Well, there are three Jonas Brothers versus one Bieber. So I don’t know,” she explained. “They might win, however, they both have good hair. It’s hard to say. It’s like vanilla versus chocolate — do you like the straight or the wavy? It’s like ice cream flavors.”

Anna Maria Perez de Tagle seemed to have the decision locked: “Oh, the Jonases, for sure! I mean, they all have different hairstyles, which is awesome,” she said. “Justin Bieber has the one hairstyle. For sure, the brothers!”

Who do you think has better hair, Justin Bieber or the Jonas Brothers? Tell us in the comments!

Young Money’s Mack Maine says a quick album turnaround ‘makes sense’ for Drizzy, in Mixtape Daily.

The O.D.: A Mixtape Daily Exclusive

It was spring 1998. DMX was the hottest cat in hip-hop and released his SoundScan-murdering debut LP It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot. That winter, X came right back with another scorcher, Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood.

OK, speed up 12 years. We all know about Drake’s popularity. His debut, Thank Me Later, came out this past spring, and believe it or not, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that Drizzy could come right back with another album just in time for Christmas.

“Drake’s crazy,” Young Money president Mack Maine told MTV News last week. “He’s doing a mixtape right now. He called me one night, like 2 in the morning. He has the intro done for the new album. We was discussing dates where he should come back. That’ll be soon. And this mixtape, he’s gonna put that out quick. His formula is crazy. He works fast. I can’t give the secret away to the formula. He’s a musical genius. The way he and [producer] 40 put things together is crazy.”

When we asked Mack if Drake was putting out another LP before next summer, he simply said, “Real possible! What we discussed, definitely, what me and him discussed.”

Such a quick turnaround between Thank Me Later and its follow-up is a simple case of supply and demand.

“It makes sense,” Mack said. “Like DMX and those guys [at Def Jam]. They dropped two in one year. I think 50 [Cent] did two in one year. If it wasn’t a year, it was right around that time. [Drake's] hot like that. Why not? Give them what they want.”

When asked if Drizzy would have an album in the marketplace in time for it to be a stocking stuffer around the holidays, Mack Mizzle smiled and advised us to “expect the unexpected.”

Regardless of when the new LP comes out, all signs point toward Drake’s R&B mixtape, It’s Never Enough, to come this year. There has been a smattering of Drake records popping up randomly on the Internet recently, such as “What If I Kissed You.”

Host Jimmy Fallon adds slushees and Twitter to the awards-show mix.

Jimmy Fallon onstage at the 62nd annual Primetime Emmy Awards

The 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards kicked off not with a bang, but with a splash. Host Jimmy Fallon corralled the cast of the Emmy Award-nominated hit “Glee” for a cold open straight out of McKinley High.

Enlisting stars like Jon Hamm, Tina Fey and Betty White, while dodging an overeager Kate Gosselin, the gang jumped around until Jane Lynch doused Fallon and Fey with a candy-colored slushee, demanding to be added to the song-and-dance number. Then things really got poppin’.

Fallon punched up the Emmys telecast with digital and musical touches similar to those he often uses on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.” He didn’t slow-jam any of the categories, but the comedian did strap on an acoustic guitar to introduce sizzle reels recapping the year in television. A few lucky Emmy fans on Twitter got some love when Fallon wove their comments into his intro for presenters like Sofia Vergara, Tina Fey and Jim Parsons. Jim Parsons from “The Big Bang Theory” edged out favored stars like Steve Carell, Tony Shalhoub and Alec Baldwin for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.

In addition to new music and technology, new faces dominated the evening, as several Emmy victors took home hardware for the first time. Claire Danes from “Temple Grandin,” Eric Stonestreet from “Modern Family,” “Glee” scene-stealer Lynch, Archie Panjabi from “The Good Wife” and Aaron Paul from “Breaking Bad” all scored their first trophies. “Glee” golden boy Ryan Murphy also snagged his first Emmy for Directing for a Comedy Series for the pilot of the Fox hit.

Although low on nutty, unscripted live-television moments, the telecast delivered send-ups of some of television’s biggest hits. In one clip, the cast of the Outstanding Comedy Series “Modern Family” endures inane suggestions about how to improve the show. Ideas included teaming up with animated potty mouth Stewie from “Family Guy,” shooting the show in 3-D and adding the dreamy George Clooney, who also received the night’s Bob Hope Humanitarian Award, to the mix.

Fallon also kept the tone light with a tribute to shows we lost over the past year. Manning a pink piano and sporting rose-colored glasses, à la Elton John, Fallon revamped the pop icon’s “Candle in the Wind” to honor the canceled “24.” Then, busting out his admirable quick-change skills, the comic donned a cardigan, switched up Boyz II Men’s “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday” and poured out a 40 to commemorate “Law & Order.” Then he sported a black emo getup and mussy hair like Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong for a version of “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” to honor “Lost.”

In a move likely intended to make the whole affair more relatable to viewers who are not television insiders, the show’s announcer, “Daily Show” correspondent John Hodgman, rattled off tidbits about the winners as they took the stage. For instance, Emmy viewers learned that Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series winner Edie Falco’s parents are “constantly making meatballs” because she is of Swedish and Italian descent. Categories honoring professionals behind the scenes were precluded by the nominees’ anecdotal answers to questions like, “What was the weirdest note a network has given you?” or “What did your mom want you to be when you grew up?”

After lamenting the lack of alcohol at the event and insisting no one in attendance is wild enough to do any real damage on the sauce, “The Office” creator Ricky Gervais resolved the issue by offering the audience trays of beer (although, “True Blood” vampire Alexander Skarsgård ribbed Gervais for giving out non-alcoholic brews).

In one of the more heartfelt moments of the evening, George Clooney accepted his Bob Hope Humanitarian Award to a standing ovation and recounted his experiences with the late comedy legend. An acoustic performance by Jewel set the tone for a presentation honoring late Hollywood names such as Gary Coleman, Brittany Murphy, Lena Horne and Dennis Hopper. The eponymous, real-life inspiration for “Temple Grandin” embraced one of the movie’s producers in a bear hug in a refreshingly candid moment when the film won for Outstanding Made for Television Movie.

Conan didn’t get to take the stage for his short-lived but much-ballyhooed “Tonight Show With Conan O’Brien” but Jon Hamm and Betty White joked about their “sexual chemistry.” We got to see “American Idol” judge Randy Jackson briefly rock out on the bass, check out Sofia Vergara’s curvy frame in 3-D and witness Fallon put Lady Gaga to shame with all his costume changes. All in all, it was an interesting night.

In a sea of blush, beads and black, there was an overarching theme on the Emmy Awards red carpet Sunday night (August 29): old-school glam. With the men evoking such Hollywood icons as Cary Grant and Clark Gable, the women hit the carpet in gowns that harked back to the golden era of the silver screen, thanks to retro silhouettes and an emphasis on glamour.

Kim Kardashian paid homage to Elizabeth Taylor in a white Marchesa dress with a halter neckline and cape detailing and a big cuff by Lorraine Schwartz. “Glee” star Amber Riley took that same route, however, co-star Dianna Agron may have gone a bit too retro in a lilac-and-black-lace tiered dress that screamed “Gone With the Wind.”

Lea Michele hit the mark in Oscar de la Renta, even if the fit was a bit off. Her strapless navy ruched gown certainly made a statement with its crazy skirt and a diamond choker by Lorraine Schwartz. Keeping it with the Gleeks, the guys went standard-issue red carpet, thanks to tailored dark suits, but Kevin McHale made the look all his own with his thick-framed glasses and gold bow tie.

Then, there were the actors who vamped up the carpet. “True Blood” stars Rutina Wesley and Carrie Preston went bold in their printed gowns, but none as bold as Anna Paquin, who was gladiator chic in her Alexander McQueen gown with black and gold sequins. She also had the ultimate accessory, co-star and hubby Stephen Moyer, who kept it stylish in a suit and tie. “Vampire Diaries” star Nina Dobrev dazzled in a champagne ruched, one-shoulder gown with sparse beading that sparkled in just the right places.

The cast of “Mad Men” also made bold statements on the carpet. The über-voluptuous Christina Hendricks played to all her assets in a lilac ’40s-silhouette gown with feather detailing on the sleeves and hem, courtesy of Zac Posen. January Jones’ Versace blue strapless dress complete with fishtail will leave fashionistas split, thanks to its forward-thinking styling. Jon Hamm had girls swooning and wishing they were in girlfriend Jennifer Westfeld’s shoes in his well-tailored suit and bow tie.

Other red-carpet standouts included “Modern Family” star Julie Bowen in a navy, asymmetrical, strapless dress with peplum detailing. Kelly Osbourne also played it vintage in her ’40s-style black gown by Tony Ward. Not-so-desperate housewife Eva Longoria wore a black strapless dress with a detailed ruffle skirt by Robert Rodriguez, and Claire Danes rocked a gold-and-nude sequined, strapless Armani Prive dress with hanging stud earrings.

Drake and Nicki Minaj

Drake and Nicki Minaj are two of the biggest MCs reppin’ Young Money and on Friday, the hitmaking rappers made major headlines when they tweeted that they had tied the knot. Even if unions announced on social-networking sites aren’t recognized by law, the duo’s strong bond is undeniable.

Here’s a timeline of Drake and Nicki Minaj’s moments in the spotlight on their road to Twitter matrimony:

»Minaj told Mixtape Daily in August 2009 that she and Drizzy are “super-close.” “Before all of this started, I would tell him, ‘You’re a star.’ And he’d be like, ‘You’re a star.’ And we’d kinda been each other’s biggest fans. To see his dreams come into fruition, it makes me very happy,” she said.

»In fall 2009, Minaj battled criticism for reportedly penning her freestyles beforehand; an issue that Drake also dealt with earlier in the year.

»In March 2010, Drizzy and Minaj joined Young Money boss Lil Wayne onstage at New York City’s famed Madison Square Garden. “This means the world to me — to be there with Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy and Drake,” Minaj said. “It was the stuff that dreams are made of for a girl.”

»Drake and Minaj appeared together on the May issue of XXL magazine with the caption, “Domination: The Rebirth of Rap Royalty.”

»Drake stuck up for Minaj in June amid her drama with fellow femcee Lil’ Kim and said he “didn’t respect” the Queen Bee’s swipes.

»Drake said that he and the Young Money Barbie have a “playful relationship” when asked about the infamous “Miss Me” lyric in which he spits about wife-ing up Minaj. “That line on the album is just me playing with her. I’ll be playing with her for years until she’s ready to go, and then I’m ready,” he said.

»Drake dropped Thank Me Later on June 15. Nicki Minaj appears on the track “Up All Night.”

» On August 27, the MCs told their Twitter followers that they are married. “Please refer to @nickiminaj as Mrs. Aubrey Drake Graham and dont stare at her too long. She’s finally mine. ,” Drizzy tweets.

The star was busted in Las Vegas Friday night.

Paris Hilton in Las Vegas police custody on Friday

Paris Hilton was arrested in Las Vegas Friday night for cocaine possession. Police found a small amount of the substance on the socialite and reality-TV starlet after a black Cadillac Escalade she was riding in was pulled over. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department confirmed the arrest to MTV News.

A traffic officer stopped the SUV shortly before midnight on the Las Vegas Boulevard near the Wynn Hotel Casino after noticing the scent of marijuana billowing from the vehicle. An officer told MTV News that cocaine fell out of Hilton’s purse as she pulled out some lip balm. She was booked into the Clark County Detention Center and later released Saturday (August 28) at 2:45 a.m. on her own recognizance. Cy Waits, who is reportedly dating Hilton, was arrested for with driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol and remained in custody Saturday morning.

Hilton would likely receive probation if convicted, according to The Associated Press. The star’s attorney, David Chesnoff, said that he was still getting information about the situation, and added “I caution people not to rush to judgment.”

The heiress tweeted early Saturday morning but didn’t appear to be shaken up by the incident.

“In bed watching Family Guy. Love this show.! So hilarious! Stewie is my favorite love his accent,” Hilton wrote around 6 a.m. “Going to bed. Sweet dreams everyone. Xoxo Paris .”

Hilton had another run-in with the law over alleged drug possession earlier this summer. The star was detained in South Africa at the World Cup for marijuana possession, but the case against Hilton was later dropped after officials learned that someone else in her group was smoking.

The heiress has a history of getting in trouble for possessing substances and hitting the road. Hilton served 23 days in jail in 2007 for violating probation stemming from a 2006 DUI bust.
