When we first heard that Paris Hilton nabbed a copy of her sex video from a WeHo newsstand, we said, "Wow, that wacky Paris is at it again!" and tucked away a link to the story in a Short Ends post, thinking that was the end of it. After all, what's a little petty theft between publicity-hungry celebutantes and hapless newsstand owners? But here's the thing:The newsstand owner has videotape of Paris (oh! the irony is crippling!) and the LA County sheriff wants to throw the book at her. As much as the public might salivate over another Winona Ryder-style witch-hunt, The Beverly Hills DA probably won't want to play into Hilton's porno-stained hands. Think about how many copies the hot, lesbian, weave-yanking action of 1 Night in Prison would sell.

Oh, did we mention there's video of the heist going down?
