Ms Hilton must start her jail term next month Hilton outside court

Celebrity heiress Paris Hilton has been jailed for 45 days after being found guilty of violating her probation for a drink-driving conviction.

A Los Angeles judge ruled she must start her sentence on 5 June and has no prospect of an early release.

Ms Hilton told the judge she was very sorry and that she would “pay complete attention to everything” from now on.

The judge didn’t buy it either and told her she’d get 90 days if she didn’t show up for incarceration.

You have to wonder how many guys in LA will now be cross-dressing and committing felonies just to get a shot at Hilton’s ass behind bars.

So much for Tinkerbell Linux (See BeLow).

A new site letting smaller bands get their music out there. (200MB’s worth at least) A powerful search function lets you find music you have never heard but fits your taste. The Flash AudiRi Player is quite cool, too.
We did a listen and download of this:

	When You’re Ready Music > World/Folk > Reggae
	Play Queue Download (5.33Mbs)   » 11 Plays Today » 46 Total Plays Year: 2001 Label: Ruff Cutt / Jet Star / Charm Credits: A. Phillips A smooth melodious delivery over the soothing beats of lovers rock and reggae.

The Play and Queue links above don’t work, but the rest do. Pretty cool of WordPress 2.0 to allow such easy copy-pasting from other web pages, in Firefox at least.

And of the downloaded file’s quality?

Not bad…

tvguyau slipped in a good sub’ there. Jenn’s a Canadadian (going by the Maple Leafs jersey she gears up in in openalpha.tv’s latest ep [episode]).

Looks like pretty fun stuff. Jenn Cutter looks a fair nutter.

Gives me ideas for me sly little sony-ericsson k750i.

Notably, Jenn writes in CMS Switcheroo, “I’ve been testing Wordpress and K2 over on my blog and I like it well enough to replace Drupal over here, too.” Seems we’re synching.
