帕丽斯希尔顿酒后驾车被捕
Celebrity Paris Hilton was arrested in Hollywood early on Thursday for suspected drunk driving, but she said the incident had been blown(1) out of proportion(2) and that she may have been speeding to get a late-night burger.
Hilton, 25, known for her hard-partying lifestyle, was pulled over(3) by police in Hollywood around 1 a.m. for driving erratically(4). During the arrest she was briefly(5) handcuffed(6).
She told KIIS-FM radio in an interview on Thursday morning that she had been to a charity fund-raiser party after a long day shooting a music video and had just one margarita.
The singer, actress, handbag designer and heiress to the Hilton hotel fortune said she was starving because she had not eaten all day and possibly "speeding a little bit" in her Mercedes-Benz SLR on her way to grab a bite(7).
The star of reality show "The Simple Life," who had a surprise summer hit(8) with her first pop single "Stars are Blind," said that as usual there were a lot of photographers around.
Police said Hilton failed a sobriety(9) test but she has not been charged with any offense. That decision will be made by the Los Angles County District Attorney(10) in the next few days.
Hilton's publicist Elliot Mintz, who picked up his client from the police station, said Hilton was affected more than usual by the one drink she had because it was "one drink on an empty stomach after a full day's work."
Hilton's blood-alcohol level was .08 percent the minimum to warrant(11) an arrest, Mintz said.
