No Britney, No Paris, No Problem

Posted Dec 4th 2006 10:47AM by TMZ Staff

Britney Spears and Paris Hilton have dropped out as hosts of the Billboard Music Awards, and reps for FOX tell TMZ that the show will go on ... without one!

Paris Hilton bowed out over the weekend, apparently unhappy with some of the jokes she was supposed to deliver. "It is my understanding that some satirical references ridiculed some of her peers," said her spokesman, Elliot Mintz. "Paris did not want to say anything that could appear hurtful or embarrassing about people she knows." Spears had pulled out last Tuesday and gave no reason.

The show will go on for the Billboard Music Awards, live from Las Vegas, tonight at 8PM on FOX.

2. You can take the girl out of the trailer park, but even with all her money, you apparently can’t take the trailer park out of the girl.

3. Gee, I guess they'll have to stay home and watch TV, now that they have nothing to do.

4. Paris will only trash friends behind their backs not on tv. Evil turkey!

5. It makes me curious what the jokes were - did they want her to deliver nasty remarks about Nicole Richie that Paris, in her renewed friendship with Richie, refused to do? Let's speculate!

7. What was said to Hugh Hefner's Playboy Girlfriends that caused all the delay & two of them to not return to the stage?

8. Could it really be that Paris has a court date on Tuesday AM for a DUI? And also has some other legal issues that are similar with upcoming court dates? Just curious... She does play her hand carefully -- usually with guidance -- I find it difficult to believe that she really cares
