Well, that's not hot.
Paris Hilton was detained for possession of marijuana in the South African city of Port Elizabeth Friday.
Hilton, 29, was escorted out of the Brazil vs Netherlands quarterfinal match at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, according to reports.
Her rep later said that the "incident was a complete misunderstanding and it was actually another person in the group who did it. The case has been dropped against Paris and no charges will be made. The authorities have apologized for wrongfully accusing her since she had nothing to do with the incident."

Despite the incident, Hilton seems to be in fine spirits.
"Had so much fun at the game today," she wrote. "What a match! I love South Africa!" A short time later, she added, "It's so beautiful here. I can't wait to go on the Safari this week and see all the amazing animals."

Hilton pleaded no contest in 2007 to alcohol-related reckless driving and was sentenced to 45 days in jail. She served 23 days in jail.
Later that year, during an interview with Larry King, she famously denied ever using drugs.
"Have you ever been addicted to drugs?" he asked.
"No," she replied.
She also said "no" when he asked if she's ever experimented with drugs.
Tell Us What You Think
50time to legalize it,,how much longer will the people put up with goverments trying to control your behavoir in regards to personal choice and lifestyle...Paris is a spoiled clueless rich girl ..but pot should be legal
omg i love paris!!!
Africa probably got smart and figured they didn't want to keep that fool in their country and then pinned the blame on the innocent!
@1:51am Me... no we don't want her
wahaha was at the match, so glad brazil lost! and at garlandsmith, why should they? mind you SA is doing a great job and anyway it was her friend smoking marijuana, not paris. she had nothing to worry about
"It's not mine!" That's what they ALL say, numbnutz!
this is a pointless story, i think if paris wanted attention she wld of posted bout the incident instead she posted bout how much she loved visiting the country- shes growing up, she jst needs to part-ways w/those leeches she calls frnds.
I guess Paris's money spoke again. They made a mistake. I do give Africa credit tho.
This is so silly, who cares!
South Africa should leave high profile visitors alone... this is not good PR for their aspiring tourist board....
I think it was some jerk in her group that had it, not her.
Good job Africa! what can anyone expect from a bimbo anyway.
She must have realized that more than two days had gone by without her name being in the press yet again. "Let's see, what can I do now to get some attention?" It's kind of slow for her press-wise lately, hasn't it?
Another pothead getting what she deserves..too funny.
Good. Africa you can keep her.
one word. HAHAHAHAHAH
Great way for this fame seeker to keep her 29 year old butt in the press.
