Paris prefers In-N-Out over Carl’s Jr. A curious side note in the Paris Hilton DUI saga is her claim that she was heading, at the time she was stopped, to In-N-Out Burger, apparently to soothe the effects of the (reportedly) single cocktail she’d consumed on an empty stomach. Carl’s Jr., the fast-food chain that paid Paris an arm and a leg to endorse its own $6 burger in the infamous car-wash commercial, can’t be happy about that. Another party that may feel aggrieved here: Bentley, the venerable automaker, which enjoyed some exposure as the object of Paris’s lathering attentions in the Carl’s Jr. spot. Paris was apparently driving her Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren when she was busted. —Posted by Tim Nudd

Oh, thank you for not making the obvious joke about Ms. H's rep and the shop she was allegedly headed to. Thank you soooo much.

Considering the way Paris has been crashing and burning these days, I would think that Carl's Jr. and Bentley would be glad not to be associated with the heiress. However, In-N-Out, a company well-known for their conservative views, might not be too happy about Paris stopping by and soiling their name.

In'n'out's probably just sad she didn't make it there so she could read the Bible verse on the bottom of her cup and be saved from the satan.

Aha! It's the "old in and out, love!' as Paris goes to another burger joint instead of Carl's! This is way worse than shouting antisemetic epithets! How much was she paid for that commercial anyway???

Upon hearing that she scored a .07 on her Breathalyzer test, Paris shrieked, “Yips for me. That’s higher than I scored on my IQ Test.”

I would love to spend "One Night in Paris".

I agree with Smivey, I think Bentley and Carl's should use this...look what happens when you make the wrong car and food combinations!

Carl's Jr. could still turn this around.

"You'd have to be DRUNK to eat at In-N-Out"
