Paris Hilton Pulled Off From Billboard Music Awards Because Of Satirical Jokes

"It is my understanding that some satirical references ridiculed some of her peers."

According to her publicist, sexy socialite Paris Hilton decided to pull off from the Billboard Music Awards because she didn't like the script and the jokes she was supposed to say during the event.

Hilton, 25, apparently received the script last Friday and according to her spokesperson, she felt the jokes will offend some of her peers.

The star's spokesman Elliot Mintz stated: "It is my understanding that some satirical references ridiculed some of her peers. Paris did not want to say anything that could appear hurtful or embarrassing about people she knows."

The Billboard Music Awards will air live today, 7 p.m. on Fox, from Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Hilton is a socialite in both Manhattan and Los Angeles and she has been described as a "celebutante", a portmanteau of "celebrity" and "debutante".

She initially became well known due to her participation in the reality series, "The Simple Life" and "1 Night in Paris", an unauthorized sex video of her with her then-boyfriend Rick Salomon, which was leaked onto the Internet.

She has since branched out into many careers, including the most recent, in August 2006, launching a serious bid at a music career, with her debut pop album "Paris".
