Celebrity Justice
Nicky-O Hotel a No-Go

The South Beach hotel that entreprenheiress Nicky Hilton had hoped to reinvent is now bankrupt and heading to the auction block. No rooms at the inn!
Nicky Hilton
After a failed conversion to condos, a federal judge has ordered the oceanfront Breakwater and Edison properties be sold to the highest bidder to satisfy a mortgage and penalty debt of $60 million! Paris's lil' sis signed a licensing deal last year to turn the 95-room complex into a boutique hotel with news tickers in the elevators, a signature scent and a $5000-a-night penthouse designed by Roberto Cavalli.

"I've been around hotels my whole life," she told People in July 2006. "I know a good hotel when I see one."

Or not.

31. The investors on this project started pulling their money out when
they found out how inexperienced and incompetent she was....she
refused to show for planning meetings, she knew nothing about
contract work, zoning, permits, etc. and when the investors found out
she was refusing to participate in the actual "work" they pulled out.
She actually thought she could pick out the colors for the hotel and
then take credit for the entire project and the people running the
project decided not to allow that to happen.

#32 Is absolutely right!! It's all a house of cards.

That's one racist, ignorant family that will eventually get what they deserve.

And why doesn't the media do stories about how racist the Hilton family is...they've been caught on tape several times using the "n" word, but they aren't aired on every station and talked about non stop. Why isn't TMZ buying those tapes and putting them on their site?

34. Nicky may have been in hotels her whole life. But, apparently she doesn't know the first thing about creating one from the ground up. WHAAAAAAHHHHH!

38. Kathy and Rick,

Parasite and Nikki need some education, Can you imagine all the money they've pissed away over the years. It could have been put to so much good. I hope you do a better job with your sons.

39. They know anmore about making money than most of us will ever know. Don't run them down for accomplishing the "American Dream." As I have always said most of Paris and Nicki's critics are just jealous of their fame and fortune.

41. To Samantha D...

Jealous? Please. Cashing in on the notoriety of a sex tape is hardly something to look up to. This side of the Hilton family is not exactly "to the manor born." Rather, they are well known to be just the opposite. That recent article in Vanity Fair was right on target. No wonder PH is ridiculed and booed. PH has to be the most disprespected "celebrity" in America today. And rightfuly so. Thankfully, most of us have higher standards.

42. so she is responsible for the downfall of a $60 mil investment? I say sue her ass and her herpes infected sister as well.

43. To Samantha - Comment #47

I'm afraid I disagree.

Contrary to what some people think, this high-school dropout “heiress” does work. Paris constantly sells herself to the highest bidder as a nightclub pusher. This “famous for being famous” tabloid headliner also shills the Paris Hilton brand name by leasing her name to manufacturers who produce perfume she didn’t create and clothing she doesn’t design.

What is troubling is the appeal this type of narcissistic celebrity has on a smaller segment of our pop-culture. Ms. Hilton personifies a superficial obsession with money and fame – without substance, regardless of the costs. Without the sex tape, jail stint and Hilton name that Paris has thoroughly exploited, the media and “let’s make a deal” would have left this phony standing at the curb a long time ago. This is why she is so widely criticized. This is hardly, “The American Dream.”
