Are we witnessing the transformation of Paris the Heiress into Paris the Bus-Riding Jailbird? If the owner of Club Paris has anything to say about that, the answer is a resounding "yes"! Our photogs just shot this tape of Paris' Mercedes Maclaren being towed away from her Hollywood Hills home and we're guessing Club Paris owner Fred Khalilian may be behind it. Khalilian fired Paris as the spokesperson and namesake of his clubs earlier this year when the socialite failed to appear at the club as stipulated in her contract. The Maclaren was a gift from Khalilian and I'm thinking the repo men were there at Paris' today to take the car back to its original owner. One thing the repo folks didn't take, however, was the copy of Paris' album left in the car - way to add insult to injury, guys!

HEY THERE, HI THERE, HO THERE -- Cancel the above -- draw a big 'ol line through it. Paris' spokesperson Elliot Mintz just cleared up the controversy surrounding the towing of Paris' Mercedes today. It's not quite that sexy a story, actually -- the car needed service ... Hey, even Maclarens break down!
