Paris pleads not guilty to DUI

Paris Hilton pleaded not guilty in her arraignment on DUI charges earlier today. Hilton herself was not required to appear in court and her lawyer appeared on her behalf. The socialite was arrested in September for driving erratically and told the police she was hungry and had had only one drink on an empty stomach. Her next court date is January 23. "At this point, I expect the LA city attorney will eventually offer her a plea bargain to a lesser charge in which she'll do no jail time, no community service, and just pay a fine," her lawyer said.
