Apparently, Elliot Mintz jumped the gun with his little weekend announcement about no longer representing Paris Hilton. As first reported in E! Online’s Marc Malkin, the twosome have since worked through their differences and Mintz is back on Team Paris. “The brief separation was unsuccessful. Paris remains my client and I remain her media rep,” Mintz told Malkin. Meanwhile, Hilton’s attorney, Howard Weitzman, has reportedly since been cut from the team and will be replaced by a lawyer who specializes in driving cases, according to In Touch.
As Hilton’s legal team readies an appeal, some of her more devoted fans have created the Website freeparis.org in protest of her jail sentence and are counting on accumulating one million signatures to submit to the powers that be before June 5, when she is due to turn herself in to begin serving her 45-day sentence. “No heiress deserves to go to jail,” site creator Kyle Vincent said in a statement. Are you serious? An heiress is above the law? Throw the bitch in jail.
George Michael pleaded guilty Tuesday to a charge of driving while unfit because of drug use, blaming an October incident where he was discovered slumped over the wheel of his car in a London intersection on a combination of “tiredness and prescribed drugs.” The singer said he was “perfectly aware that I did something very wrong” and was prepared to accept the appropriate punishment. Throwing George in jail could be just what he wants–to be in the company of other men 24-7-a dream come true?

Luckily for him, she said yes. What if she said no? Yikes!
A Wisconsin judge ruled Friday that a man who changed his named to Andy Griffith and ran for sheriff did not harm the 80-year-old actor by the same name who played Sheriff Andy Taylor on the Andy Griffith Show in the 1960s. Griffith (the actor) sued the former William Harold Fenrick for violation of trademark and copyright laws and invasion of privacy after the latter changed his name last year. The judge dismissed the case, ruling the public did not believe the actor had anything to do with the other Griffith’s sheriff campaign—which was unsuccessful. Hey, since he lost will he change his name back to its original?
