Paris quits Billboard awards over jokes

Los Angeles, Dec. 4 (AP): Paris Hilton won’t joke about her peers. The hotel heiress cancelled an appearance at next week’s Billboard Music Awards because she didn’t like the jokes written for her, according to a spokesman.

“It is my understanding that some satirical references ridiculed some of her peers,” her spokesman, Elliot Mintz, said in a statement. ”Paris did not want to say anything that could appear hurtful or embarassing about people she knows.”

Mintz said Hilton received a script on Friday that contained material she found “objectionable”. Representatives for Hilton and the awards show could not come to an agreement about the script’s content so she decided to scrap the appearance, he said.

A call to Billboard on Saturday was not returned.

The Billboard Awards will be handed out today at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
