Paris had been sentenced to a 45-day jail sentence for a probation violation.

Reporters and paparazzi staked out the residence above Sunset Boulevard last month, capturing the celebrity’s move from jail to home and back.


Paris does charity - July 24 2007
Post jail, Paris Hilton promised she was going to do more to help others, and it seems she’s kept her word, turning up at a friend’s charity gala to raise funds for children with spinal cord injuries.

"It’s a great organisation," Paris said at the Life Rolls On function. "It gives people hope."

The heiress was supporting her close friend Jesse Billauer, a former pro surfer who is now paralysed, and who founded Life Rolls On. "I’m really happy to be here to support Jesse," she told People magazine.

During the evening, the socialite bid and won a $17,500 surfing lesson with Billauer and Adam Sandler.

And she even seems to have extended her charitable mood to her fashion, wearing a black-and-white dress created by 19-year-old fashion student Jonathan Bash.

"He said he loved me and my style and showed me 30 dresses he designed just for me. I was amazed by how incredibly talented he was," Paris said.

She also revealed her next project.

"I’m just focusing on doing a movie right now," she said. "It’s a surprise but I start shooting next month."


New record for Paris? - July 17 2007
She’s only been out of jail a month, but Paris Hilton has said that she’s already working on a new album, having been in meetings with record producer Scott Storch.

"I’ve been working on my new record with Scott for a few weeks," Paris told E! Online.

Scott worked on the socialite’s first album, entitled Paris, released last August, and is also responsible for chart-topping work with acts including Beyonce Knowles, Christina Aguilera, R Kelly, 50 Cent and Dr Dre.

However, sources say that the 26-year-old Simple Life star is determined to make the new album better than her first attempt which was met with criticism and disappointing sales.

"She takes voice lessons several times a week," says an insider close to the star.

"She really works very hard to be taken seriously in the industry and make good music people will enjoy. Of all her projects, her music is the most important to her, and she’s really serious about it."


Paris Tipped for Blockbuster Role - July 9 2007
Paris Hilton has tried her hand at many things, but she has yet to find success in the movies - ending up in a series of straight-to-DVD flops. But that could be about to change...

It appears the recently-jailed heiress has an A-list benefactor in director Brett Ratner. Brett is best known as one of the hardest partiers in Hollywood, but also helmed X-Men: The Last Stand and Red Dragon.

Talking to TMZ.com outside Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills, Brett revealed that he is planning to cast Paris in his next project, although he wouldn’t say what the movie is. When asked if it was X-Men 4, he replied that it was "better than that".
