'QUITE SMALL' BIT OF POT DELAYS HILTON AT AIRPORT

PARIS - Paris Hilton was briefly detained in Corsica after sniffer
dogs detected a "quite small" quantity of marijuana in her bag, a
French newspaper reported yesterday.

Corse Matin newspaper said officers at the airport in Figari found
about 1 gram of marijuana. Hilton, who was transiting the French
Mediterranean island in a private jet on Friday, was hauled in for
questioning and released about 20 minutes later, the report said.

In a story posted on its Web site, the newspaper said Hilton was
travelling along with "personalities close to power in Malaysia" from
the French capital to Porto-Cerno, in Sardinia.

Earlier this month, Hilton was arrested after the Brazil-Netherlands
World Cup match in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, on suspicion of
possession of marijuana. The case was then dropped at a midnight court
hearing.
