After spending the night walking the red carpet and being the target of a few "below the belt" joke at the MTV Movie Awards, Paris Hilton surrendered to the L.A. County Sheriff on Sunday night, two days earlier than she was legally set to serve her 23 day sentence.
Paris was joined by her family (mom Kathy, sister Nicky) and her lawyer, as she officially surrendered early - to avoid the feeding frenzy of paparazzi that would happen under the publicized date.
Paris's lawyer released this statement on her behalf:
"I am ready to face the consequences of violating probation. During the past few weeks, I have had a lot of time to think and have come to realize I made some mistakes. This is an important point in my life and I need to take responsibility for my actions. In the future, I plan on taking more of an active role in the decisions I make. I want to thank my family, friends and fans for their continued support. Although I am scared, I am ready to begin my jail sentence."
While being locked-up Paris has plans to write a "prison diary"
From Rush & Molloy:
“Paris’ prison diary will make a more dramatic read than Martha Stewart’s. If she can make it believable, and not exaggerate too much, she might expect to make a million dollars out of it.”
