Paris Hilton believes thief is no stranger

USA/Celebrity heiress Paris Hilton has a theory about the burglar who hit her home last week and stole her jewelry. The starlet told E! News that after viewing the home surveillance tape, she believes whoever did it is no stranger.

“I think whoever did this definitely has been there before,” Hilton told E! News on Monday when she was out shopping.

“We have some suspects that I’m thinking of,” she added.

Police said on Friday that Hilton’s Los Angeles home was broken into by a thief wearing a hooded sweatshirt and gloves.

The 27-year-old Hilton was not home at the time. The items taken in the heist are reportedly worth $2 million.

That’s no spare change, even for Hilton, a member of the family that founded the Hilton Hotel Chain and a multi-tasking Hollywood celebrity who has made a nice living for herself acting, starring in a reality series, singing and coming out with perfume and fashion lines.

Hilton responded to the burglary with an invitation and a threat to whoever took her jewelry.

“They just have to anonymously have a taxi drop it off in my front gate in a box with my jewelry and everything,” Hilton told E! News. “They won’t get in trouble. But if all this goes on for much longer, they’re going to get in more trouble.”

Before she became the victim of burglary, Hilton and other stars had a good 2008 by avoiding the kinds of scandals that followed them last year. Hilton has reportedly been cast in an upcoming movie from independent filmmaker Todd Solondz, maker of the 1995 film “Welcome to the Dollhouse.”

Helping Re-build Sophie Anderton’s career in the new yearTuesday, 23 December, 2008 11:46 PM
From: “P DAVIS” View contact details To: web.help@express.co.ukSophie Anderton is being advised to re-consider her position and prosecute the News of the World for compensation regarding a breach of trust resulting in her loss of earnings
calculated to be in the region of £1ml a year
The breach of trust came as a result of an illegal sex for drugs sting operation that was approved by the News of the World and was organised by king of sting Mr Mahmood (fake sheikh). This sting or entrapment was never approved by the police. As a consequence Mr Mahood himself is liable to be on the receiving end of criminal charges for aiding and inciting a criminal act of trafficking illegal drugs

Mr Mahmood encouraged Miss Anderton to provide him with sex for drugs and money. Mr Mahmood clearly entered into a verbal agreement shaking hands with Miss Anderton duping and taking advantage of a vulnerable woman who was not in complete control of herself at the time and Mr Mahmood took advantage of this situation
The newspaper unlawfully exploited this illegal and unauthorised entrapment motivated by financial gain from selling the story to the media.Sophie Anderton known to have been suffering from a severe
depression and mental health problems at that time has recently been diagnosed with a bi-polar dissorder.This unlawful entrapment by the NOTW was a major scoop for both the newspaper and Mr Mahmood as he has recently written a successful autobiography at the expense of Miss Anderton and others
like herself
The News of the World are certainly going to face a challenge by Miss Anderton’s legal representatives in the new year.
I agree she should fight her corner over a criminal deception like this.After all the Press are not above and beyond the reach of the law and Sophie has nothing to loose now her career has been destroyed in going on public record over this sordid story of betrayal sex and drugs Regards Paul Davis
