LOS ANGELES - Paris Hilton won't joke about her peeps. The hotel heiress canceled 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 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.


how nice of her...

its actually rather mature.

ok, so either the jokes were in very poor taste and she is incredibly loyal OR she and her friends can't take even light-hearted jokes about themselves.

my money is on the latter.

ummmm Hilton at the Billboard Awards? now THAT is a joke

Good for her. Those types of jokes are in bad taste IMO.

lol like Paris has any clue what "good taste" is.
