Man, that happens to me, like, all the time. (And look – Paris looks hot in stripes!)

Jail-bond socialite Paris Hilton is so hot the long arm of the law won’t stop hitting on her. At least that’s what the hotel heiress griped in an interview given before a judge slapped her with a 45-day stint in the slammer.

“I think I get in more trouble just because of who I am,” the 26-year-old multimillionaire party girl tells Harper’s Bazaar in the interview hitting newsstands May 22.

“The cops do it all the time,” insists “The Simple Life” reality TV star. “They’ll just pull me over to hit on me. It’s really annoying. They’re like, ‘What’s your phone number? Want to go to dinner?’”

Hilton appears on the glossy magazine’s June cover with her equally legally challenged sidekick Nicole Richie. Richie was busted on DUI charges in December after two motorists reported her SUV was going the wrong way on a California freeway.

Wearing zebra-print outfits meant to resemble jail stripes, the two starlets are pictured in a Harper’s Bazaar photo shoot running from models dressed as policemen.

But even when the cops do catch up with her, they usually don’t write her up, Hilton says in the interview. “They just pull me over, and the paparazzi, of course, take a picture,” she fumes. “All the time. I have so many cops’ business cards.”

Of course, not all cops have been smitten by her pouty lips, blond hair extensions and long legs. She’s going to the poky because she didn’t keep her powdered nose clean after a Hollywood cop hit on her with a drunken-driving arrest in September.

MORE OF THIS NONSENSE AFTER THE JUMP!

The celebutante sobbed in her mother’s arms when the sentencing judge blasted her Friday as a scofflaw for violating her probation by driving with a suspended license even after another cop had given her a written warning.

She was still sobbing over the weekend as her parents, Kathy and Rick Hilton, tried to pull strings to keep her out of a 12-by-8-foot cell at the Century Regional Detention Facility for women in Lynwood, Calif., friends said. “Kathy and Rick are exploring ways to try to get her sentence reduced,” a source said. “That includes approaching politicians, including Gov. [Arnold] Schwarzenegger.”

Another source said Kathy Hilton was brainstorming ways to financially capitalize on Paris’ trip to the clink. Mama Hilton has been reaching out to NBC and TV celebrity shows, pitching an exclusive interview with Paris and her. Despite being heirs to Barron Hilton’s $1 billion legacy, Kathy and Rick Hilton can’t pass up a windfall when they see one – even one potentially unflattering to the family, the source said.

“Even if something bad happens – like Paris’ sex tape – the family finds a way to capitalize on it,” said the source, referring to Hilton’s infamous Internet porn tape made with ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon. “They’re not so rich that they can ignore the money that could be made off an interview. In fact, I could see them spinning it off into a whole new reality show.”

Meanwhile, Paris Hilton is in the market for a new publicist after firing famed mouthpiece Elliot Mintz yesterday for passing her bad information on her suspended driver’s license. Mintz tried to take the fall Friday, telling a judge he had incorrectly told the poor little rich girl she could drive for “work-related” purposes. “I told her that I assume personal responsibility for my part in this matter. … Due to this misunderstanding, I am no longer representing Paris,” Mintz said in a statement released yesterday.

She’ll need all the positive spin she can get as her legal problems mount. A $10 million civil trial in which model and actress Zeta Graff is accusing Hilton of slander is scheduled to begin today.

But until she has to report to the lockup on June 5, Hilton can live her simple life of shopping, sunning and dining out. “If it’s the weekend, I have parties at my house,” she told Harper’s Bazaar, “because only cheese-balls go out on the weekend.
