Break out your party hats. It's official.

Paris Hilton turned herself in to authorities Sunday night and is behind bars.

The HO-tel heiress' surrender did not take place at the jail where she's doing time.

Paris' attorney, Richard Hutton, picked her up at her parents' house at 10:30 last night.

Paris Hilton, Hutton, her mom Kathy Hilton and her sister Nicky Hilton drove to the Men's Central Jail in downtown Los Angeles (below, left).

The men's facility, commonly referred to as the Twin Towers, is where Paris turned herself in to begin her 23-day jail sentence.

The Sheriff devised the plan of Paris turning herself in miles away from the actual site where she'll be doing time because the crush of paparazzi at the jail created a safety hazard.

Paris was then driven to the Lynwood Correctional Facility in Lynwood, Calif. (below, right) where inmates waited to ridicule her she is now serving her sentence.

Earlier last night, Hilton left home for the MTV Music Awards. After appearing on the red carpet, Hilton went to her folks' house for a brief time, then left to face the music.

TMZ reports that the prison's plans for Paris have changed. She'll be held in solitary confinement almost exclusively, meaning all hopes of a prison-style remake of the Paris Hilton sex tape are pretty much dashed.

Although there has been a pre-screened woman designated as her cell mate, for the time being, Hilton will be in solitary 23 hours a day. The hour that she's out, she's not really out.

Paris Hilton will be allowed to shower, use a phone and watch TV in a small pod adjacent to her cell. No Paris Hilton pussy will be on display. Sorry people.

Hutton released a statement to TMZ from Paris Hilton:

"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."

Well spoken, Paris. Hopefully, Lindsay Lohan and/or Nicole Richie will join you behind bars any day now. At least then you'd both have some company!

While most high school juniors are rejoicing over the start of summer vacation, Jordin Sparks has bigger reasons to celebrate.

Since Ryan Seacrest announced her as the newest champion of American Idol, her life has become a whirlwind of excitement - and the Idol nationwide concert tour is still to come.

Just days after her victory over beatboxer Blake Lewis, Jordin Sparks chatted with Us about her newfound fame, dish about what really went on during "girls' night" and more. Here are a few excerpts from the chat.

Us: Has the fact that you are the American Idol hit you yet?
Jordin Sparks: It hasn't really set in yet. It's been really crazy. People keep saying, ‘Hey, we're on the air with the new American Idol, Jordin Sparks' and I'm like, ‘What!?!?! Can you repeat that?' It's just crazy, because I've always wanted to do it and now that I have, I can't believe that I did and I couldn't ask for anything more. It's so much fun.

Us: You have frequently said how when you turned 16, it wasn't the opportunity to drive a car that excited you, but rather the chance to audition for the show.
Jordin Sparks: It was. It's been really amazing because having watched the show for so long, I've just been like, ‘I want to do that,' but I was too young. So I just watched the show and I saw what songs really got people going and what songs didn't. Being on that stage was one of the most amazing things ever.

Us: And not only did you take the American Idol crown, but you were also gifted with a new Mustang on the show's season finale.
Jordin Sparks: I woke up on my 16th birthday and I was more concerned about auditioning for American Idol than driving a car.

I did get my driver's license eventually, but now I can drive and I am the American Idol and I have a new car! This is so weird. I haven't driven it yet. I know [driving will] be kind of scary because there's paparazzi now that will follow me - crazy!

Us: Your dad, Philippi Sparks, once played in the NFL, so you must remember the media during his football fame. What advice did he offer about your celebrity?
Jordin Sparks: Since my dad has been famous-ish and has gone through having paparazzi and stuff like that, he just told me "It's fun, but at the same time you've got to be careful. People will try and use you. It's scary, it's hard, but if you just handle yourself well and trust the people around you, you'll be fine.' So far, so good.

Us: On the show you were very close with Melinda Doolittle, who finished in third place. Since you two were roommates, what types of things did you discuss during your "girls' nights?"
Jordin Sparks: It stays in girls' night! We did talk about boys and stuff like that. [smiles brightly] We talked about life in general and about each others' lives. We were living under the same roof for I don't know how many weeks. I asked her how she grew up and what advice she can give me, because she's so much more experienced than I am. I just love her so much â€" she's so amazing! So yeah, we talked about boys, the competition, and crazy fan things that happened.

Us: Lastly, did runner-up Blake Lewis happen to teach you how to beatbox?
Jordin Sparks: He tried really hard to teach me. He goes "Okay, do this [starts beatboxing].' And that's how I beatbox. That's all I can do.

It wasn't a stretch for Bruce Willis to play an over-protective father in his new movie, Live Free or Die Hard, which comes out June 27.

"I can relate to it, but that's overly dramatized in the film," Willis, 52, told reporters Friday at a press event for the movie in Van Nuys, Calif.

"My relationship with my daughters is a lot more upfront than that, and what we've done, as parents, is to try and send the girls out in the world with as much information about what those 16- and 18-year-old boys are thinking, and hopefully that'll keep them safe."

Bruce Willis is dad to Rumer Wills, 18; Scout Willis, 15; and Tallulah Willis, 13, with ex-wife Demi Moore.

And while he might not blow up terrorists like his Die Hard character, John McClane, he admits he can be a bit of a tough guy when it comes to his daughters' suitors.

"I'm not hard at all," Bruce Willis said with a smile. "I just tell [the boys] I want to meet them. That's the only thing I ask for. I just give them that look, that little look."

No word on whether he gives Rumer Willis' BFF, Hayden Panettiere, that look.

Another intimidation technique of Bruce's: putting somebody "in charge."

"If they bring a group of guys over to the house to have a pool party or whatever, I just say, 'Dude, what's your name?' and he says, 'Uh, Cinjun.' Then I say, 'Okay, Cinjun, you're in charge. If anything happens to one of my daughters, I'm coming to you first, and then I'm going to kill all your friends right in front of you," Willis said. "And you'll be last.' Cinjun, if you're listening to this ..."

Apparently, the Willis daughters - who also have a protective step-dad figure in Ashton Kutcher of all people, managed to emerge well-adjusted.

Said Justin Long, who plays John McClane's geeky, computer-hacking sidekick in the upcoming Die Hard film:

"I had the good fortune of meeting the daughters, and they're all very smart, very elevated. They made fun of us mercilessly, but in a very witty, mature way. So someone did a good job."

As expected, Sarah Silverman kept 'em laughing as host of the 2007 MTV Movie Awards.

The funnywoman opened the show with a hilarious and potty-mouthed monologue in which she accused Spider-Man 3 of being racist (really) and told Jack Nicholson, "You have literally been in every single one of my favorite actresses!"

But the most ridiculed celebrity of the evening was Paris Hilton, who took hits from Silverman as well as Dane Cook, who cracked, "Paris Hilton was so offended by Sarah Silverman's opening remarks that she checked herself into jail early."

Amy Winehouse gave the best performance of the evening when she rocked the house with her sultry tune "Rehab."

The Best Close Call of the night was Jessica Biel presenting the Best Kiss award (along with Kevin James and Adam Sandler), for which none other than Cameron Diaz was a nominee for her smooch with Jude Law in The Holiday.

Luckily, Talladega Nights' Will Ferrell and Sacha Baron Cohen took home the golden popcorn in that category, avoiding a potentially awkward run-in.

Diaz, meanwhile, had plenty of love for Shrek the Third costar Mike Myers who she presented with the MTV Generational Award.

After a gushing speech in which she said that Myers made her laugh harder than anyone she'd ever met, she coquettishly asked the audience, "Should I shag him now? Or should I shag him later?"

Justin Timberlake, Diaz's ex and Biel's current love, wisely avoided the evening, opting not to attend the awards. If you didn't catch the show either, see a list of the winners below:

BEST MOVIE: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
BEST VILLAIN: Jack Nicholson, The Departed

Some stars are not big fans of celebrity gossip.

Justin Timberlake is not exactly a big supporter. Britney Spears blames tabloids and paparazzi for her problems. And we're guessing that Joslyn Noel Morse isn't a huge fan of ours right now.

But Victoria Beckham is taking the hating of The Hollywood Gossip and its counterparts to a new level. Check out what she had the nerve to say in a recent interview with Neil Sean of Sky News.

"I think these people are pretty spineless, the way they hide behind pseudo-names," says the former Posh Spice.

"They don't really know what's going on in anybody's lives. They're just sad people that sit behind their computers."

The Hollywood Gossip resents that, for the record. How do you know Free Britney, Hilton Hater and MischaLova aren't our real names?

And we assure you that our celebrity gossip staff writers are very happy people sitting behind their computers and earning modest wages, thank you very much.

Just because that picture of David Beckham nude is circulating online does not give you license to tear us a new one, Posh. We didn't take the damn photo - all we're guilty of is giving the people what they want.

In other words, don't hate the player, hate the game, babe.

That's right. We don't have time for this debate anymore, because we're too busy gathering and preparing to post the newest pictures of your huge boobs. Not that we're complaining, but have you heard of a bra? Snap, yo. Snap.

Katherine Heigl says Isaiah Washington apologized to her - and thanked her - on the set of Grey's Anatomy after she denounced his use of a gay slur.

"Isaiah thanked me, which I didn't understand," the 28-year-old actress told Entertainment Weekly. "He was almost grateful. I don't know Isaiah well, but he takes his work seriously and he loves his character."

Isaiah Washington came under fire for using the epithet at the Golden Globe Awards in January... while denying he'd used it previously in reference to fellow Grey's Anatomy star T.R. Knight.

Heigl, who plays the outspoken Dr. Izzie Stevens on the hit ABC drama, was "furious and frustrated" at the time, so she came to Knight's defense.

"He made a big mistake, and it was thoughtless and boneheaded, and I think he's very sorry and embarrassed," Katherine Heigl says.

"This is something that will have changed the scope of his life."

Washington has done everything he can to make the best out of a bad situation, filming a public service announcement on behalf of gay rights groups GLAAD and GLSEN.

Heigl, who stars with Seth Rogen in the new Judd Apatow-directed comedy Knocked Up, also speaks out in the interview about her tense contract negotiations with ABC.

The long and short of it, Katherine Heigl says, is that she wanted the same respect they're showing the series' other talented actors. She doesn't like the label that goes along with a woman who stands up for what she wants.

"In this town, women who don't just snap and say, ‘Okay, yessir, or yes ma'am,' start to get a reputation for being difficult," Katherine Heigl says.

"But within the last five years, I've decided it's not worth it to me to be pushed around so much."

Heigl, who calls The Notebook one of her "all-time favorite movies," says that she'd much rather laugh than get too serious when it comes to her own movie roles.

"I just want to play happy people," she says.

"I'm a commercial kind of gal, and yeah, I would love to do a Monster, but I don't have any grand aspirations to do my Academy Award-winning movie. I love Kate Winslet, but I know I couldn't have her career."

From the looks of it, the Grey's Anatomy starlet will have quite the career of her own, even if it follows a different tack than that of Kate Winslet.

Lindsay Lohan passed out and drunk? That's a common sight.

But for all the news about this Firecrotchedy redhead, you don't see Lindsay Lohan nude too often. James Blunt, Jude Law and Calum Best do, of course. But celebrity gossip fans don't get a bare view. Until now. Sort of.

The rehabbed star is the focus of a new ad campaign for Jill Stuart, a fashion designer that apparently wants to be associated with drunken ho bags. We can only assume Britney Spears will be asked to be the face - and giant boobs - of the next commercial.

But we suppose Stuart could to worse than even Britney as far as celebrity fashion goes.

We wonder what Rumer Willis has to say about this.

The perennial party-goer would probably be in favor of the fact that Paris Hilton is hitting the town as often as she can before jail time begins.

On Saturday afternoon, the heiress briefly emerged from her Hollywood Hills home to an awaiting mob of photographers camped outside. And we're sure she loved it.

Wearing a yellow sunhat and tropical-print sundress (pictured here) with her hair in pigtails, Hilton was chauffeured by a black stretch limo Escalade to a nearby Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, ordered an iced latte, then promptly returned home; and was most likely thrilled to discover that Joslyn Noel Morse nude photos were taking attention away from her impending prison sentence.

"She looked gorgeous and seemed in high spirits," said an onlooker. "She was smiling and playing coy with the paparazzi."

On Friday, Hilton â€" who has until Tuesday to begin serving a minimum of 23 days for violating probation â€" was spotted at Hollywood hot spot Les Deux.

Clad in a skin-colored chiffon dress, Hilton showed up around 11:45 p.m. with a sizable entourage that included her sister Nicky Hilton and Nicky's boyfriend David Katzenberg.

On Thursday, the sisters hit an L.A. party at the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel, where Hilton was seen "laughing and living it up," an eyewitness told People magazine. Afterward, the siblings made a brief appearance at a pre-MTV party at a Beverly Hills mansion.

Meanwhile, the press has been ignoring the news that Tonya Cooley gets naked on film and instead has begun staking out the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, Calif., where Hilton is to do her time.

However Sheriff Lee Baca, whose department oversees the jail, told the Los Angeles Times on Saturday that authorities will not allow Hilton to "be seen in handcuffs ... or in the back of a police car, forlorn and in handcuffs."

"Jails are not circuses and not places where 'fun' is the priority," Baca said. "Jail should be a corrective learning experience."

Perhaps Pete Doherty should actually be sent to one in that case.

Kate Middleton may no longer have a chance to be queen - but that doesn't mean a new man in her life can't be her king for a day. Or maybe longer.

A little over a month after Prince William and Middleton split, Kate's working the rebound angle. She's got herself a new man.

Middletown's been seen out on the town with Willl's Eton classmate and high society lad Henry Ropner, who has a little bone to pick with the prince. Reportedly, Henry lost former girlfriend Jecca Craig to William back in 2004, and their relationship's been frosty ever since.

Sounds like English celebrity gossip that can rival any in the U.S.!

The British rag The Sun reports that Kate and Henry have been cozying up together all around London and a source says "there's been a lot of flirting."

And Alex Rodriguez and Joslyn Noel Morse can tell us all what happens after a bit of flirting!
