Paris Hilton visited David Letterman's show on Friday night but refused to talk about her time spent in jail, then became visibly upset when Letterman would not stop asking her questions about it. Hilton, who spent 23 days behind bars in June for violating her probation on a 2006 drink-driving charge, told Letterman about six minutes into her appearance: "There's other stuff to talk about Dave. I didn't come here to talk about this. That was a long time ago....I'm sad that I came here."
About the jail time, Letterman interrogated the socialite, asking: "Tell us now looking back on that experience, what have we learned? What can you tell us?"
Hilton said, "Well, obviously it was a very traumatic experience, but I did it, so I feel like I can do anything now."
After grilling her about the food which Hilton dismissed as normally "jail mystery meat" – Letterman then asked: "So what was it you did? Do you know what you did?"
Obviously uncomfortable, Hilton stared at Letterman and laughed nervously. "It was something about driving with an invalid license, wasn't it?" Letterman said. "Yeah," Hilton answered.
After facing a continued barrage of jail-related questions, Hilton, who was on the show to promote her new fragrance Can-Can and her upcoming movie, "Repo! The Genetic Opera", replied: "I don't really want to talk about it anymore."
He took on last crack at it and said. "This is where you and I are different. Because this is all I want to talk about," he said.
