Paris Hilton's brother arrested for DUI

Hello on this Wednesday, February 13, 2008. I'm Rebecca Field with today's UPI entertainment update.

Another Hilton is in trouble with the law. Paris Hilton's 18 year old brother Barron was reportedly arrested yesterday morning for driving under the influence. Police say he was pulled over on a Malibu highway around 8am and failed a sobriety test. He reportedly spent all yesterday in jail. His big sister spent time in jail last year...also for alcohol related driving charges.

A Beagle named Uno is making history as the first in his breed to take Best in Show at Westminster. The crowd went wild last night as Uno took the title at the famous dog show. He competed against more than 160 breeds of dogs and more than 2500 entries. But the final competition was tight...the Beagle was up against a toy poodle, a Weimaraner, a Sealyham terrier, an Akita and an Australian shepherd.

Hollywood writers are heading back to work today...the strike is officially over. As expected, the Writer's Guild of America voted yesterday to end the strike after 3 months out of work. This comes after Hollywood producers agreed over the weekend to give striking writers a portion of the internet profits. That means the Oscars on February 24 will go on as planned, and new shows will start airing in the next few weeks.

Actress Mia Farrow is putting pressure on China to take action against the atrocities in Darfur. At a demonstration outside the Chinese consulate in New York yesterday, Farrow called for protest of the Beijing Olympics. China reportedly helps support the military in Sudan. Farrow is pressing the country to not turn it's back to the killings in the Darfur region.

Four new members have been inducted into the Country music Hall of Fame. Emmylou Harris, Tom T. Hall, the Statler Brothers and the late Ernest "Pop" Stoneman all became new members of the famous hall yesterday. Harris is a twelve time Grammy winner who began her solo career in the seventies. The Statler Brothers started up doing back up for Johnny Cash before starting their successful career. And Hall was a top radio hit in the seventies. Stoneman, who died 40 years ago is known best for his 1920's hit "The Sinking of the Titanic."

That's all for now. Check out a new special segment from Medill News service called "Dads on Duty." Thanks for watching.
