Barron Hilton is a hero. (Rachel Lucas)

Barron Hilton is a hero.

If this story is true, I think I am in love with a 79-year-old man.

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.

"He now doesn't want to leave unearned wealth to his family."

Hilton senior, the only member of the family left with a sizeable stake in the huge hotel chain, has let it be known that he intends to donate to charity the $2.4bn he will gain from this month's sale of the company to private equity firm Blackstone.

The money will go to the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, the charity set up in the name of the founder of the family business.

HA! HA! Seriously, this is waaayyyyy too good to be true. How awesome would it be if that drunken whore actually had to WORK for a living for the rest of her life? Too awesome; it defies the laws of the universe.

UPDATE: That's what I thought. Damn.

Paris has been earning a living, and then some. Maybe you wouldn't call it "working", but she's found a way to make about 1,000 times as much as the average whore...

However, in 10 years when she starts getting baggy and saggy (not to mention showing the effects of addictions), she'll probably be wondering where all those millions went, and regret losing grandpa's money - if she even lives that long.

I have a question: For what imaginable reason would Aussies call call it "drink-driving"?

Unless of course they've been drink-writing.

'Wondering' and 'regret'...don't you think you're overestimating her? I mean, those are human emotions.

I remember reading about how the Hilton fortune was controlled by one senior family member (revealled by you, Rachel, as the aformentioned Barron Hilton), and he was none-too-happy with the entire Rick & Kathy Hilton Clan. I always wondered if that was why Paris was always getting herself wrapped up in hare-brained schemes like the sale of a porn video, "The Simple Life", etc. I'm no fan of Nikki's, but at least she seems to be involved in more legitimate businesses, and she keeps herself pretty under-the-radar.

Good for Barron Hilton saying goddbye to bad rubbish!

Well it's about Goddamn time!

Geez, I was wondering when somebody in the Hilton clan would get fed up with the antics of Paris The Professional Whore.

Well, since we've established that she's a whore, I am pretty sure I know how she's going to support herself sans inheritance. With the name recognition, she could easily get $5K a night for a "date."

Five large to bang Skeletor? Heck, I'd probably need ten times that amount just to pay for the antibiotics I'd need afterwards. No thanks.

Heh. I've already had to work with a (fortunately non-celebrity) version of that. During a break in a training class, she was heard to ask, "Is that the one I slept with?", when someone mentioned a guy who was not in the class that day.

Wow. There IS a god and I think he's got a sense of humour. If she has to get a job does that mean she would need to learn to read?

The movie "Arthur" (granted, with a coupla different twists) comes to mind.

I'm no fan of drunken driving myself, but I've become very weary of MADD constantly pushing to make the legal limit on blood-alcohol lower and lower. If I remember right, Paris was at .08% when she was caught. A few years before, she'd have been OK, since the limit was .10%.

As long as they let rappers flap around free as birds, despite the trails of bullet-riddled corpses they leave behind, I'm not going to bother my head worrying about Paris Hilton as a Menace II Society.

Technomad: I agree with you about MADD. When that group first formed, they were trying to call attention to the fact that police and judges routinely winked at drunk drivers and often let them off with a slap on the wrist. They wanted drunk driving to be treated more seriously.

They have achieved their objective. Nearly everybody today agrees that drunk driving is a menace to innocent people, and the penalties have been greatly strengthened throughout the country. Nobody treats drunk driving as a joke anymore.

But now they have become a textbook example of an organization that is constantly trying to justify its continued existence, by lobbying for ever-lower legal limits on blood alcohol level.

If you read the police blotter section in your local newspaper, you will see that the majority of people who are arrested for DUI or who cause accidents are WAY over the legal limit. They are often measured at .18, .21, and even higher.

Lowering the limit from .10 to .08 will mainly catch responsible drinkers: those who go out and have 2-3 drinks with friends, stop before they have had too much and then drive home.

Not that I'm a fan of Paris Hilton--far from it-- but personally, I'd be more worried about people driving after six cups of coffee than after two beers.

As part of their community service perhaps we could get Paris and Nikki and Lindsey to do a public service announcement for my organization, Drunks Against Mad Mothers (DAMM). Something tasteful, but topless. Perhaps some drunken-slut-on-slut making out on camera. "This is your rich famous bimbo. This is your rich famous bimbo on drugs". (no detectable change)

Anyhoo, the network cancelled 'The Simple Life' yesterday. I won't say "That's hot". But it's muy caliente.

Boooooo, sometimes dreams don't come true : (

It seems the tramp will be getting her slimy vag on grand pa's money after all. Maybe she'll use it to have her feet reduced in length by a few inces (that girl has the longest feet I've ever seen!) or that lobotomy she so desperatly needs. She is so "not hot".

I'm pretty sure she has her own bucks.

Her verifiable income from her jewelry line, the sex tape (yes she gets residuals), appearances, etc, is probably about 20 mill. Add that to her share of her immediate family money (~30 mill), and her TV show (~10 mill)...you're getting over 50 mill. She even gets money for licensing 'Hot'. She gets paid 300-700K for appearances. She boasts she makes a 100 mill a year.

She doesn't need Grandpa's money. However, I am available.
