Second SAA Flight Crew Accused of Drug Smuggling

We know it's a tough time for everyone working in the travel industry, but have things really sunk this low for South African Airways employees?

For the second time in a month, the entire crew of an SAA flight from Johannesburg to London Heathrow was arrested on suspicion of drug smuggling. The first incident took place January 21, when 15 crew members were arrested at customs and £310,000 pounds of cocaine and cannabis were seized. Apparently Heathrow cops were not all that concerned, because the crew was released on bail, with a hearing set for March 23.

Then this weekend, the entire 15-person crew of another SAA flight was arrested at Heathrow, this time with £250,000 of the white stuff. Makes us wonder how many flight crews have gotten away with this sort of thing!

Did Paris Hilton Smuggle Weed Into Mexico?

We all know that Paris Hilton is not someone that you would want your daughter to model herself after. Unless you want your daughter to be famous for releasing a sex tape, going to jail for a DUI and possibly for being a drug smuggler.

Gawker has some scans of a new book called Six Degrees of Paris Hilton which was written by Mark Ebner and is largely about the illegal life of Paris Hilton and how she acts when she's not being followed by Access Hollywood or Us Weekly. A section of scandalous stories come from videotapes that were stolen from Paris' by some dude name Darnell Riley (who's now in jail for assaulting "Girls Gone Wild's" Joe Francis.) Paris is saying that she has no idea who this Riley dude is but he's still talking about what's on those tapes.
