What A Shock! Elliot Mintz Is Back With Paris Hilton (And Shows Up At Sobriety Event)

I guess the check cleared because Elliot Mintz is back by Paris Hilton's side. They just needed to get him to claim some blame before they filed their appeal. But that isn't even the kicker. Guess where the pair made their first public appearance together? AT SOBER DAY USA! No -  I am not making this up.

Hilton arrived Monday night at attorney Robert Shapiro's "Sober Day USA" event on the Paramount Studios lot in Los Angeles with sister Nicky and embattled publicist Elliot Mintz. The flack had resigned Sunday but at Monday night's event he told Us "the rumors of our professional separation were overexaggerated" and he was, at least for now, back on as Hilton's rep.
Bypassing the red carpet, Hilton kept a low-profile in a sleeveless silk dress and gold shoes. Later, she posed for pictures with Mintz and Robert Shapiro, who, in 2006, declared the first Monday in May "Sober Day" in memory of his drug-using late son, Brent.

Is anyone else sickened by this? Well, in case I didn't get you revved up yet. Let me throw one more thing at you. A new petition is circling the web that will end up on Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's desk. Wanna see it? Don't you dare sign it though. :) It's asking for people to sign their support over to Paris for her drunk driving and violation of probations.
