Paris Hilton Behind Bars!

After walking the red carpet and getting skewered during the ceremony at the MTV Movie Awards, Paris Hilton surrendered herself to authorities late Sunday night to begin serving her 23-day sentence for violating probation.

In a statement released by her lawyer, the 26-year-old heiress said, “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.”

As first reported, Paris first surrendered herself at the downtown LA Men’s Central Jail and was transported to a Los Angeles County jail in Lynwood, south of Los Angeles.

And hey, her mug shot’s not bad. She got the right angle and worked out her lazy eye!
