Paris Hilton is guilty as charged.

And now, it's back to business.

The heiress is jetting off to Asia to promote her clothing line and will make her first (non-court realated) public appearance on Wednesday.

But this isn't a celebratory jaunt. A source tells me the trip had been planned in advance and Paris had touched base with the Powers That Be about it after her court appearance this morning...

"This trip to Asia had been planned months ago before the incident," a source tells me. "When her court date got moved up, insiders figured she'd cancel but she didn't want to disappoint her fans."

Her publicist will be accompanying on her during her time in Asia. Paris will begin her 200 hours of court-ordered community service when she returns.

"She's already been in touch with the doctor who's administering her outpatient substance abuse program," the insider says. "She's taking this seriously and she's ready to move forward."
