Paris Bails On Billboard Awards

Dissatisfied with the jokes scripted for her to tell during her hosting gig at the upcoming Billboard Awards in Las Vegas (which features a 2-day, killer celebrity gifting suite by Backstage Creations), Paris Hilton has bailed out. This news comes after new BFF Britney Spears inexplicably dropped out from co-hosting with Paris. Read on!

"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 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 was not returned early Saturday.
The Billboard Awards will be handed out Monday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The show is scheduled to air live on Fox.
