Paris Hilton is being held at a treatment center in a downtown Los Angeles jail hours after being ordered her to serve the remainder of her sentence behind bars, L.A. Sheriff Lee Baca confirmed in a press conference Friday afternoon.
During her previous jail time, Hilton had been at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, Calif. Currently, the heiress is in custody in a special section of the Twin Towers Correctional Facility.
Sheriff Baca also announced that Hilton’s sentence, which was originally 45 days, is now back to a minimum 23-day sentence.
Earlier Friday, Hilton was taken from court screaming and crying after Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer ordered her back to jail.
“It’s not right!” Hilton, 26, said as deputies approached her in the courtroom. She also called out to her mother in the audience: “Mom!” Kathy Hilton, accompanied by Paris’s father Rick, answered: “Honey!”
Hilton’s screams echoed in the courtroom’s internal hallway as she was escorted out. As the courtroom began to clear, Kathy draped her arms around her husband, who tried to console her.
Sheriff Baca said Friday that while Hilton was imprisoned for three days at the Century Regional Detention Facility, her “medical condition had been deteriorating,” though he did not reveal the nature of the ailment. He did say, however, that Hilton had been on medication prior to being jailed, but was not taking any while she was imprisoned.
Holding a one-page medical evaluation, he said: “This is the evidence that this lady has some severe problems.”
Friday morning, Hilton entered the courtroom at 11:00 a.m. wearing a gray sweater, gray pinstripe slacks and looking disheveled with her hair in a messy ponytail. Hilton cried and trembled throughout the hearing. She also clasped her hands in prayer several times and turned to her parents seated behind her in the courtroom and mouthed, “I love you.”
The judge’s decision to send Hilton back to jail came after hearing arguments from both the L.A. City Attorney and Hilton’s lawyers. Judge Sauer ruled that because the sheriff’s department had not adequately submitted medical records supporting the reasons behind Hilton’s transfer, she should be returned to jail.
TMZ.com reports that Hilton’s lawyer plans to appeal the ruling, but no paperwork has been filed yet.
Court spokesman Alan Parachini said after the hearing that Judge Sauer hadn’t bought the sheriff’s “medical condition” rationale for sending Hilton home. “What he said was, on the record, that he’d seen no evidence, no documents to support the contention that there was a medical condition.” Details of Hilton’s alleged condition were not released in court.
Friday afternoon Sheriff Baca said: “We’ve been overruled by the judge, I accept that, and we’ll keep her in county jail.” He also denied giving her preferential treatment, saying that her three-day incarceration was more than what most low-level offenders serve.
“Let’s not make a judicial football of this woman,” the sheriff concluded. “I’ll keep her at the better facility, and we’ll will watch her behavior.”
Earlier in the day, a sheriff’s car picked Hilton up at her home and took her to court for the hearing. As a swarm of media watched, Hilton parted ways with her parents, and her mother told reporters: “It is what it is and it’s in God’s hands now.”
She added: “It’s out of our hands. There’s nothing we can do.”
Asked how her daughter was faring, Kathy said earlier, “She’s doing the best she can.”
Hilton was seen being handcuffed before getting into a police cruiser and was photographed crying in the backseat.
As the gates of the driveway opened, the scene was pandemonium, with the officers on their bullhorns and Hilton’s fans screaming.
Friday’s proceeding was granted by Judge Sauer after the Los Angeles City Attorney requested an emergency hearing to demand that the Sheriff’s Department put Hilton back in jail.
City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo had accused the department of disobeying the judge’s original sentencing orders, which explicitly forbade electronic monitoring.
Yet due to an undisclosed medical condition, Hilton was released from Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, Calif., early Thursday and reassigned to home detention after serving just three days of her minimum 23-day sentence.
The heiress was fitted with an ankle bracelet and her original 45-day sentence was reinstated – since she’d enjoy the confines of her Hollywood Hills home instead of a 12-by-8-foot cell – with credit for five days served.
Hilton’s reassignment sparked outrage across the nation; the L.A. Board of Supervisors alone received more than 500 angry calls, e-mails and faxes by Thursday afternoon. At least two of the supervisors demanded an investigation.
I think she deserved it, but they are really making her go crazy at this point…..

With the latest in Walt Disney Co.’s lucrative series reaping an unprecedented $401 million globally in its debut through the Memorial Day weekend, the question of whether there will be a fourth installment has effectively been answered.
Sure, producer Jerry Bruckheimer is coy, saying he and his mates need a break. But he already has rights to a book that could end up as another installment.
Star Johnny Depp? He hasn’t promised another voyage, but he clearly loves the flamboyant, irreverent Jack Sparrow character, telling one interviewer: “As long as you’re doing it for the right reasons, why not?”
In today’s Hollywood, blockbuster franchises function almost as independent corporations that, once up and running, can’t easily be mothballed. Which is why another “Pirates” is pretty much a given.
“When these franchises become part of the world’s culture, they take on a life of their own,” said Dick Cook, Disney’s studio chairman, who says he’s on board for another “Pirates” if the script is right and the filmmakers are willing.
Enter the era of the unlimited sequel. DreamWorks Animation SKG began developing a fourth “Shrek” film more than a year ago — long before “Shrek the Third” was even finished, said Anne Globe, the Glendale studio’s head of marketing. The next installment is slated for 2010.
A fourth installment of “Spider-Man” — the third one just debuted May 4 — has been in the works for more than a month, with the studio circling screenwriters it may tap.
“If you want the kind of longevity we’re hoping for with ‘Spider-Man,’ you have to think of them as stand-alone movies, not ’1-2-3-4,’ ” said Amy Pascal, Sony Pictures’ studio chairman. “They’re sort of like the James Bond stories.”
One reason the big franchise machines keep operating is the special effects-laden movies have become ever bigger and more costly — making and marketing May’s three megasequels cost more than $1 billion altogether — and they require elaborate planning. Studios also need long lead times to line up marketing alliances.
Disney worked with 13 promotional partners to help spread the word on “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End,” including Volvo, Verizon, Coca-Cola, Circuit City, Best Buy, Toys R Us and Starwood Hotels. Even the obscure, Tampa-based Odyssey Marine Exploration — which recently made headlines when it reported recovering 17 tons of treasure from a shipwreck in the Atlantic — signed on.
Nonetheless, the sheer size of the summer blockbusters can drain filmmakers. Bruckheimer said there would at least be a respite after the production of back-to-back sequels to the 2003 original “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.”
“We’ve been working on this trilogy for 5½ years, and the latest one was just a monster,” he said in an interview from Tokyo for last week’s premiere. “It’s always about making sure you have a great story with interesting plots, themes and characters. There is a possibility — we’ll see what happens.”
Though Bruckheimer and Disney executives say the “Pirates” trilogy has concluded, they hint that the series could continue through a spinoff or prequel. In an interview with an Australian film website, screenwriter Terry Rossio said he and partner Ted Elliott would take a crack at another “Pirates” script and see if they could make it work.
Big franchises also take on a life of their own by reaching beyond the multiplex into TV, stage and theme parks. DreamWorks Animation is wrapping up a network special, “Shrek the Halls,” for this holiday season, and the big green ogre is headed for the Broadway stage in a 2008 musical.
The franchise sequels can pay off not just for studios but for the entire industry. For the first time, Hollywood could be en route to more than $4 billion in U.S. and Canadian ticket sales for its extended summer season, thanks largely to momentum from this month’s trio of high-profile “three-quels.”
“Spider-Man 3″ reset the opening weekend standard with its $151-million domestic launch early this month, while “Pirates” this past weekend broke the domestic holiday record with $142 million, according to the research firm Media by Numbers. “Shrek the Third” set a new mark this month for animated films by debuting at $122 million.
On a worldwide basis, Disney says its “Pirates” overtook “Spider-Man 3′s” $382-million six-day haul — a 3-week-old record. Privately, Sony executives questioned Disney’s decision to include Monday’s overseas grosses, as well as Thursday night’s “pre-opening” sales in the U.S., in the total.
In generating the huge box-office numbers this month, studios overcame concerns about the kind of sequel fatigue that in the past plagued such franchises as “Batman” and “Superman” before they were revived.
Using pricey marketing campaigns, Hollywood sought to convince prospective moviegoers that the latest versions of “Spider-Man,” “Shrek” and “Pirates” weren’t just retreads. Reviews were mixed, but fans still went in droves to see all three.
In Southern California, moviegoers interviewed were divided on the prospect of a fourth “Pirates” after watching the latest chapter, which clocked in at nearly three hours.
Elizabeth Lopez, 24, of Long Beach, suspected the latest “Pirates” might disappoint as the third film in the series.
“But it actually was very good,” she said. “Yes, I’m hoping they make another one because of the way it ended.”
But Richard Kirk, 69, of Bellflower, has seen enough.
“It just gets rather complicated, especially the first part of it,” he said. “I really think they should leave it at three.”
After four months of playing the field since his split from Cameron Diaz, is Justin Timberlake ready to “go steady” with Jessica Biel?
The two, who were first linked at a Golden Globe afterparty in January, recently spent several days together in the U.K., where Timberlake was touring. (They holed up in Manchester’s five-star Lowry Hotel and took in a soccer match.)
And now “Justin’s in love,” a source close to the singer tells PEOPLE in its new issue. “She’s the coolest chick ever. He wants to be with her all the time. He’s ready to be serious.”
Over the last few months, Timberlake, 26, and Biel, 25, have also been spotted snowboarding with pals at the Sundance Film Festival, and Biel recently attended a barbeque at Timberlake’s L.A. home.
Reps for both had no comment.
