Yoghurt and shopping – Paris’s taste of freedom

The heir-head has less than a month before she checks into the tough women's penitentiary in Lynwood, LA, for violating her drink-driving ban.

So — of course — she thought it was the perfect time to go shopping for bikinis.

With sister Nicky, Paris spent the day hitting the Sunset Boulevard boutiques yesterday.

Wearing a sheer white dress, Paris, 26, was looking a little glum as she chatted on her mobile phone and rifled through the racks.

She then made a last stop for a comforting frozen yoghurt, bumping into supermodel Janice Dickinson, who hugged her encouragingly.

But she has reasons to be cheerful. A new Californian scheme lets prisoners convicted of nonviolent crimes pay for an "upgrade" on their cell.
