Paris Hilton leaves the States to begin her promotional trip in Asia

An unknown insider confirmed to Hollyscoop that Paris Hilton’s “trip to Asia had been planned months ago before the incident. When her court date got moved up, insiders figured she’d cancel but she didn’t want to disappoint her fans.”

Paris has already contacted a doctor for her outpatient substance abuse program. The insider said “she’s already been in touch. She’s taking this seriously and she’s ready to move forward.”

She will begin her 200 hours community service when she returns from her promotional trip.
