A Los Angeles Superior Court judge sentenced socialite Paris Hilton to 45 days in jail on May 4, for violating her probation.

Hilton was put on probation after an alcohol related reckless driving offence earlier this year.

Judge Michael Sauer strictly cast off Hilton’s defence that she was
misinformed about her license status and ordered the 26-year-old to
report to a county detention facility on June 5.

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

"I'm very sorry and from now on I'm going to pay complete attention to
everything. I'm sorry and I did not do it on purpose at all,” the BBC
quoted Hilton, as stating in the courtroom.

Hilton's lawyer, Howard Weitzman, said he would appeal "to modify the sentence."

"To sentence Paris Hilton to jail is uncalled for, inappropriate and
ludicrous. She was singled out for who she is. She's been selectively
targeted. Paris was honest in her testimony. We plan to appeal. Shame
on the system,” Weitzman said.

Hilton was given three years probation earlier this year for pleading
no contest to alcohol-related reckless driving after a September 2006
arrest in Hollywood.

She landed in hot water again in late February, when she was pulled
over in West Hollywood for driving without headlights. Police
confiscated her car, a $190,000 blue Bentley, when they discovered she
was driving on a suspended license.

If Hilton fails to report to jail on June 5, she will have to face 90 days behind bars.
