Looks like Paris Hilton has to put her Tokyo business aside for now. After being held for questioning by immigration officials at the Narita International Airport upon arrival in Tokyo Tuesday, Paris was asked by Japanese officials to leave the country for the time being — apparent backlash from her drug violation case in the U.S.
She was scheduled to appear at a news conference in Tokyo on Wednesday to promote her fashion line, but the appearance was canceled, PopEater reports.
Strict Japanese laws led to her detainment at the airport and boot from Japan.
