Taking a short break from making brownish maroon lipstick seem like a reasonable fashion choice, earlier today Paz de la Huerta plead guilty to harassment of The City star Samantha Swetra. The charge stems from an incident back in March at a Manhattan hotel bar, where the Boardwalk Empire actress punched and threw a glass at the former reality star during an argument over whether Swetra should be technically considered a real actress: a conversation that, while important, typically shouldn’t result in a gushing nose bleed.
De la Huerta still has to reckon with a civil suit from Swetra, who’s lawyer Stephanie Ovadia said they would “pursue the case vigorously.” Part of Paz’s plea deal entails performing a day of community service and twelve weeks of alcohol counseling. “I’m extremely glad this is over,” Paz said after leaving court, hopefully to never, ever run into a Kardashian in real life.

New York (Reuters) - "Boardwalk Empire" actress Paz de la Huerta pleaded guilty on Thursday to harassing a reality TV star during a fight over who was the bigger star, authorities said.
De la Huerta, 26, appeared in a Manhattan courtroom and admitted threatening to hit Samantha Swetra on March 20 during an argument in a trendy New York City bar, said a spokeswoman for the Manhattan district attorney's office.
Swetra, who has appeared on the MTV reality series "The City," has also filed a civil lawsuit against de la Huerta, alleging that she suffered permanent injuries after the HBO star punched her and then threw a glass at her, cutting her leg, during a bar brawl.
Swetra was "assaulted, beaten and battered" so viciously that she sustained "severe" physical and emotional injuries, some of which are "permanent in nature," according to the law suit. Swetra is suing for unspecified damages.
