PARIS HILTON BANNED FROM TWO VEGAS RESORTS

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Paris Hilton has two fewer resorts in Las Vegas where she'll be able to party. Hilton has been banned from two Wynn resorts on the Strip now after she and her boyfriend Cy Waits were arrested in a vehicle that police said reeked of marijuana. Waits has been "separated" from his job as the top managing partner of the Tryst Nightlub at Wynn Las Vegas. Waits was driving the Cadillac Escalade when police stopped them. He's been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. Police say on Friday a plastic bag containing less than a gram of coke fell from the purse Hilton was carrying inside the Wynn resort. Police say they also found the butt of what's suspected to be a joint in their car.

"FLIPPED" - MADELINE CARROLL

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Madeline Carroll's childhood hasn't been much different from the one her character has growing up in the early 60s. Except for the acting, of course. Carroll says she has a big backyard with trees that she and her brother can climb. She says she's surrounded by mountains and cattle. Though she's used to climbing trees, she doesn't climb the big one on the movie. The tree she's actually on is a fake one with wheels. Her stunt double climbed the big one. "Flipped" is open in select cities.
