Paris Hilton Defunded

NEWS.com.au

PARTY princess Paris Hilton is $60 million out of pocket after her billionaire grandfather - appalled by her jail term for drink-driving offences - axed her inheritance.Family patriarch Barron Hilton was already embarrassed by his granddaughter’s wild behaviour - notably when her home sex video was leaked on the internet.

But the 79-year-old considered her 23-day sentence last month the last straw.

“He was, and is, extremely embarrassed by how the Hilton name has been sullied by Paris,” says Jerry Oppenheimer, who wrote a biography of the clan called House Of Hilton.

Ouch!  60 million dollars.  Sixty. Million. Dollars.

  1. Good start, though I think she’ll need a lot of other relatives to defund her as well before she actually has to work for a living.

  2. Maybe my underwhelmed response missed the mark! Poor Paris is selling her home. Wouldn’t it be a shame if she’s doing so to raise cash so she doesn’t have to work like everyone else?

  3. Dave, Dave … It’s bad enough that FOX is obsessed with alleged “celebrity” gossipmongering, but NixGuy should have better things to do … I notice that when real life events in D.C. or Iraq give righties (like Kasich and O’Reilly) less impetus for their usual windbag conspiracy theories about Ted Kennedy or Hillary Clinton, they fall back on stuff about the likes of Anna Nicole Smith or Paris Hilton (is it a substitute for rightwingers’ lack of sex or what?)… I guess it’s because easy targets work well when there’s nothing else worth saying … Meanwhile, “Darth Vader” just got his batteries recharged, so it looks like war with Iran might be in the offing!

  4. Apparently Fred, I don’t have better things to do. Hope that’s OK with you.
