She made the long flight to Japan only to be denied entry into the country, and Paris Hilton was spotted heading back home today (September 22).

The “House of Wax” babe tried to fake a smile as the paparazzi looked on, though it was pretty obvious she was anything but happy about the situation.

Hilton was detained by immigration officials upon landing her private plane at Narita International Airport in Tokyo, and ultimately forced to leave because Japan prohibits entry to those convicted of drug charges.

She told press, "I’m going back home and I look forward to coming back to Japan in the future.” Her publicist added, "Paris is very disappointed and fought hard to keep her business commitments and see her fans, but she is forced to postpone her commitments in Asia. Paris understands and respects the rules and laws of the immigration authorities in Japan and fully wishes to cooperate with them."

Kanye West is still trying to do damage control since the whole, "Yo Taylor, Beyonce had the best video of all time," VMA debacle last year.
Kanye sat down with XXL magazine to talk about "the incident" with Taylor Swift and why he had to go into hiding after the VMA’s.
"I stress that the incident wasn’t about Taylor personally. And it definitely wasn’t about race. Where I messed up is, at the end of the day, it’s your show, Taylor. It’s your show, MTV," West explains in XXL’s October 2010 issue, on stands next week.
"The relationship with the public and with your fans is like the relationship with your girlfriend. How could I not, at a certain point, be like, ‘I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have been at the awards show. I’m sorry.’ Not that I don’t deserve to get beat up or change who I am inside, to make sure that that doesn’t happen again."
Kanye confessed he had no choice but to go into hiding because it helped him figure out who he really is.
"I knew I wasn’t in a great spot publicly after the incident, but I would just block it out and work as hard as possible and let my work be my saving grace. In a way, I had thrown a Molotov cocktail at my own career, and it gave me an opportunity, for the first time, to go away and find out who I was. Because I felt very alone," he writes in the mag.
