Thanks to thousands of texts and calls, Sheen had to disconnect he number. • Paris Hilton • In September 2010, the heiress everyone loves to hate was arrested in Las Vegas, NV for cocaine possession. Police reports indicated that the drug was found in her Chanel purse, and she publically and vehemently denied that the purse belonged to her. Unfortunately for Paris, she forgot that the morning of her arrest, she tweeted, "Love My New Chanel Purse I Got Today!" along with a photo of the purse. Oops.
