Loretta Lynn still hospitalized after stroke

NASHVILLE, TENN.

Country music legend Loretta Lynn remains hospitalized after having a stroke, a publicist said Saturday.

Sony Music publicist Maria Malta said nothing has changed from information posted on Lynn’s website.

The website says the 85-year-old singer and songwriter was admitted to a Nashville hospital Thursday night after suffering the stroke at her home in Hurricane Mills, Tenn. Malta confirmed that Lynn is still in the hospital.

Lynn’s website says she is responsive and expected to make a full recovery.

It says Lynn has been advised by doctors to stay off the road while she recuperates, and upcoming scheduled shows will be postponed.

Lynn is scheduled to perform June 9 at Packard Music Hall in Warren; there has been no word yet of a possible cancellation.

Hilton arrested, faces charges in car theft

LOS ANGELES

Paris Hilton’s younger brother, Conrad Hilton, has been arrested in Los Angeles after being accused of stealing a car and violating an ex-girlfriend’s restraining order.

Police say the 23-year-old Hilton Hotel heir was arrested shortly before 5 a.m. Saturday at a home in the Hollywood Hills.

He purportedly was in a Bentley owned by his ex-girlfriend’s father.

Hilton was booked on charges of grand theft auto and violating a restraining order and jailed on $60,000 bail. It wasn’t immediately clear whether he had obtained a lawyer.

Hilton has had a series of run-ins with the law. He was arrested two years ago inside his ex-girlfriend’s home.

He also received probation for threatening British Airways flight attendants. Last year, he spent two months in jail for violating that probation by using cocaine and other drugs.
