 The first sign Paris Hilton may be cracking in jail came Tuesday when her shrink and lawyer made a two-hour house call at the lockup.
Dr. Charles Sophy, the psychiatrist who last month declared the 26-year-old hotel heiress too "distraught and traumatized" to testify in a civil suit against her, rushed to her aid just 35 hours after she checked into the Century Regional Detention Facility.
"I don't discuss my patients," the media-savvy Beverly Hills psychiatrist, who has his own Web site, replied when asked about his visit.
"Everything's fine," Hilton's attorney Richard Hutton said.
But he refused to explain why Sophy had been called to "The Simple Life" star's side Tuesday.
Celebrity news Web site TMZ.com reported that Hilton had been crying on the phone, complaining that she wasn't able to sleep or eat and that her 12-by-8-foot cell was "freezing cold."
Hilton, who is being housed in isolation for her own safety, is expected to serve up to 23 days for a probation violation stemming from a booze-related driving conviction.
Inmates at the Lynwood facility are allowed "professional" visits from attorneys and others assisting in their legal defense during the week between 10:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.
Since Hilton can afford to pay "meeting" fees for lawyers and other pros, she can duck the weekday loneliness other inmates feel waiting for family visits, which are allowed only on Saturdays and Sundays.
An anonymous admirer tried to send Hilton a dozen red roses and a fruit basket, but the delivery was rejected because inmates aren't allowed to receive gifts.
Sophy has worked on Hilton's defense in the $10 million defamation suit lodged against her by actress Zeta Graff.
The UCLA clinical psychiatry professor last month penned a letter that helped persuade a judge to postpone the civil trial until August.
He described Hilton as "distraught and traumatized" due to "her fear of incarceration."
But on Sunday night before she checked into jail, Hilton seemed calm and cheerful as she strolled the red carpet at the MTV Movie Awards.
The germophobic socialite may be freaking out due to a staph infection outbreak at the jail that has caused an oozy rash on many inmates.
"I waited a week for some antibiotic ointment," said Sandra Randolph, 46, who was released from the jail Tuesday after serving 30 days on a drug charge.
"The sanitary measures are not acceptable," Rudolph said, pointing to a scaly patch on her leg where she thinks she had the rash. | Only registered users can write comments.

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
