Paris Hilton was detained in Japan. Hilton was scheduled to promote her handbag line with her sister Nicky in Japan today but her plans hit a snag when the Japanese authorities wouldn’t let her enter the country due to her recent cocaine arrest in Las Vegas.

Hilton was under contract to travel to Tokyo and open a store in Jakarta, Indonesia as well as traveling all over Asia on business. According to the source, the Japanese have very strict drug laws and don’t take lightly to things like cocaine arrests. Her rep released this statement:

“Paris was contractually bound to her business trip and didn’t want to let down her brands and many Asian fans,” the statement said. “She intended on fulfilling her contract and is trying hard to do the responsible thing, but this is beyond her control. She is very disappointed by tonight’s events.”

It’s early morning in Japan and no word whether or not they’ve resolved the issue. Paris and Nicky were holed up in a nearby hotel while they awaited an answer.
