Socialite Paris Hilton was arrested last night for possession of cocaine, a Las Vegas Police spokesperson has confirmed. The sexy Paris, was a passenger in a vehicle that was stopped by Las Vegas police, after they smelled what they suspected was marijuana. "Officers noticed a vehicle leaving smoke trail of a controlled substance (and) made a stop based on that," Las Vegas police spokesman Marcus Martin told media outlets. The driver was arrested for drug possession and it was discovered Paris was in possession of cocaine. Paris was detained at the Clark County Detention Center and released at around 2:30 a.m. PT this morning. Paris is no stranger to problems with the law. She was arrested this summer after the Brazil-Netherlands World Cup match in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, on suspicion of possession of marijuana. The case was then dropped at a midnight court hearing. Hilton pleaded no contest in 2007 to alcohol-related reckless driving and was sentenced to 45 days in jail. After spending about 23 days in jail, Hilton told CNN television host Larry King that the experience caused her to re-evaluate the role partying played in her life. She said she wanted "to help raise money for kids and for breast cancer and multiple sclerosis."

Notable names turned out celebrate the second anniversary of LAVO Italian Restaurant and Nightclub inside The Palazzo. Brandi Glanville arrived with a group of beauties all set for a girl's night out. The former Mrs. Eddie Cibrian, who looked stunning in an Alice & Olivia dress and Christian Louboutin stilettos, shared that she is dating a great guy and that while relationships and love are amazing, she has no intention of ever getting married again. She definitely was in Vegas enjoying a girl's weekend - sexily dancing the night away with her gorgeous model friends at a table on the dance floor. Also toasting the hot spot were Molly Sims, Rob Thomas with his wife Marisol, LMFAO and Clifton Collins Jr. Celebs including Stephanie Pratt and Anthony Mackie hurried over to partake in the celebrations after first checking out the Lady Gaga concert. Pratt, who recently confessed to dating two guys, brought Mikey Appel to the party and was very affectionate with him on the red carpet, much to the delight of the photographers and the crowd gathering outside the club. Later Pratt was seen getting cozy and locking lips with Redfoo of LMFAO. Kim Kardashian arrived in Louboutin shoes and a skintight dress accenting her famous curves with friend Jonathan Cheban, star of the Kardashian produced The SPIN Crowd, which premieres August 22nd on E! Celebs started the celebration with a feast of LAVO's signature dishes, including Kobe Meatballs, Penne Seafood Alfredo, Chicken Parmagiano, finishing with Oreo Zeppole and Seven Layer Cake for dessert. After dinner the party continued in the club with DJ Vice and DJ Eye providing the soundtrack for the night. DJ Eye's father, famed producer Jimmy Iovine came straight from the Lady Gaga concert to hear his son spin. The surprise of the night came after LAVO's owners were presented with a cake commemorating the anniversary. LMFAO hopped on top of the banquette at their dance floor table and proceeded to thrill the packed club with an impromptu 20 minute set, spinning the crowd into a frenzy. Bottles of Cristal were paraded through the club to fuel the party as everyone toasted to an amazing two years. A slew of celebs including Kardashian and Stacy Keibler made their way to the DJ booth and Kim even got on the mic to congratulate LAVO and wish owner Noah Tepperberg a happy birthday. Also spotted in the club celebrating the anniversary were Robert Iler, David Spade and Kevin Farley, all who dined at LAVO early before returning for the party in the club. Rob Thomas and his wife Marisol partied at a VIP table on the LAVO stage until after 2 am, when he left to prep for his Saturday concert. Never one to miss a party, Paris Hilton showed up just after 3 am with a girlfriend to wish LAVO a happy anniversary and celebrate owner Noah Tepperberg's birthday. Once great friends with Kardashian, the two remained frosty and didn't look at each other or even speak despite being at the same table and Paris left quickly after getting on the mic to address the crowd. Over at TAO boxer Floyd Mayweather, Jr. was spotted in the nightclub.

In the Hamptons the #! Hot gossip topic is generally real estate ? who bought what for how much and who?s selling. In recent days more than a few of the rich & famous are paying/getting astronomical figures for the primo properties especially those most desirable of all ? South O? the Highway ? or the massive spreads anywhere. We hear three-time Academy Award winning screenwriter and director Robert Benton has just put his Charles Gwathmey designed Wainscott spread on the market for ? gulp- $29.9 million. Beside the cred of a blue chip st-architect, the house sits on 2.5 acres with 725 feet of pond-front in the ultra exclusive Georgia Association and includes ocean access and a large coastal lagoon." Benton who was the man behind such classics as ?Bonnie & Clyde? ?Kramer v. Kramer? feels his little cottage is worth the price.

A much larger spread indeed America?s oldest continually operating cattle ranch, Deep Hollow Ranch in Montauk is also on the market for the first time in many years. The circa 1658 ranch, which some call the birthplace of the American cowboy, spans an impressive 22.3 acres of pristine Montauk land. The compound includes several working barns, a 5,000-square-foot antique timber framed farmhouse, and a 2-acre buildable lot. In addition to its unique place in history, Deep Hollow was also the setting for the "Back at the Ranch" charity concerts back in the '90s, which featured acts like neighbor Paul Simon and Billy Joel. How much, you ask? Insiders say somewhere around $14 million.

The New York Post?s Jennifer Gould Keil reports that American Hotel owner and local legend Ted Conklin has officially put his two Sag Harbor homes on the market for about $10 million. Conklin recently wed socialite Carol Simmons and the couple will be spending more time in East Hampton and Palm Beach where Simmons has homes. Buzz circulating is he will soon put the much loved American Hotel on the block for a cool $25 million. Food and wine enthusiasts will be devastated if this happens. The bar and restaurant in the historic structure is a favorite of such locals as Alec Baldwin and Billy Joel. The late Roy Schneider and his family lived there for a spell after selling their Sagaponack beach house to Joel for his the bride Katie Lee while waiting for their Sag Harbor house to be built.

King of the Grill Bobby Flay is almost ready to move into his new house in the Stony Hill area of Amagansett. Flay is really excited. Especially since the wild Hamptons scene has "skipped from East Hampton straight to Montauk, leaving Amagansett relatively untouched." He joked to reporters: "We kind of lucked out that way? said the barbecue maestro.

The really big ? but totally expected - news is Christie Brinkley has finally put her North Haven home up for sale. The 1843 Greek Revival House she once shared with Ex Peter Cook overlooking Sag Harbor and Shelter Island is marked at $15.75 million. The home has sweeping bay views from every room in the house and sits on 4.5 acres. Only bad karma is that this is the house allegedly where Cook had an affair with a teenage toy store employee Diana Bianchi.

One place Madonna isn?t having a real estate headache is in Midtown. Macy?s Herald Square is giving up some serious prime property for the debut of Madonna and daughter Lourdes Leon?s new clothing line ? some 4,000 square and will host appearances by the line?s spokeswoman Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen (for the big launch on Aug. 3) and Madonna and Lola on Sept. 22. This will be a line of junior clothing just in time for back to school shopping. If you remember the 80's, there wasn't a girl who didn't want to dress like the Material Girl, while most parents raised issue with the lack of material. Nonetheless, Madonna has always been a fashion forward trendsetter. Stella McCartney is the one to credit for developing Lourdes' fashion designing, which she started at age 8-that must be the magical year for the most talented people. Despite these grand orchestrations, the MG line is sure to be compared to the spate of teen-celeb collections recently launched or planned: Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift for Wal-Mart, Selena Gomez for Kmart, Britney Spears for Kohl?s and the list keeps growing.

Madonna is also running into a few hurdles with her latest property acquisition in Bridgehampton - only her problems are man made and don?t involve yucky thins like black mold. County Planning Commissioner Thomas Isles wrote a letter to Southampton Town demanding that a stop work order be issued on Madonna?s new fence. That order was issued on July 7. The county farmland committee is expected to review the fence at its next regular meeting. Folks in the know say it will probably as it is a low split rail fence commonly seen on farms.
But know it?s her hedges that are raising concern. Madge?s privet hedge might be considered a windbreak, which would be a legitimate farm use. Or, it might be considered a privacy fence, which would not be legal and would have to be removed. ?You would have to be sure it (the privet) has an agricultural purpose,? Isles said. ?Those screens require approval before installation.? He said that, if the farmland committee ultimately rules the privet is a privacy screen, not a windbreak, the county could order the plants removed.

Big estates are great places and cosmetics mogul Ron Perelman owner of the legendary ?The Creeks? on Georgica is one of the largest in the tony enclave.
He?ll throwing his first benefit there on Aug. 14. The $1,500-a-head fund-raiser for the Apollo Theater's education programs for kids, co-hosted by Dick Parsons, will feature dinner prepared by famed chef Marcus Samuelsson and performances by John Legend, the Roots, Sam Moore of Sam & Dave, and other surprise guests.

Gwyneth Paltrow ? country singer? In the upcoming film ?Country Strong? the blonde Oscar winner plays a fallen country idol Now comes the leaked single from her film in which she plays alongside Tim McGraw, Leighton Meester and Garrett Hedlund, and she sounds pretty great. Maybe she and her man Chris Martin can tour together.

The Hamptons International Film Festival working with Guild Hall will present ?The Most Dangerous Man In America: Daniel Ellsberg and The Pentagon Papers?: Followed by conversation with Alec Baldwin, Carl Bernstein and Daniel Ellsberg, former United States military analyst. Also participating are Hamptons International Film Festival Chairman Stuart Match Suna, Executive Director Karen Arikian and Director of Programming David Nugent. The sure to be super-charged gathering takes place Saturday August 7 at Guild Hall in East Hampton.

Not all the Hamptonites are ? well ? in the Hamptons. As always there is a large contingent that heads off for the South of France for a spot of yachting. Denise Rich will stage her annual dinner aboard her yacht, Lady Joy. The guest list of 250 celebrities reads like the Cote d'Azur Hall of Fame: George Hamilton, Regine, Jean Pigozzi, Joan Collins and Count Eric Wachtmeister, and Adnan and Lamia Khashoggi. Denise has hired local singing sensations the Gypsy Queens, described as "four gorgeous guys," to help sell tables to her Oct. 21 Angel Ball in New York. Southampton?s Roberto and Joanne DeGuardiola will pop over from their sleek yacht, Audacia while Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman and wife Christine are staying in a villa in the nearby foothills.

Not surprisingly, Paris Hilton was photographed topless en route to St. Tropez for the picture that circled the globe.
