Lets Get This Party Started
Paris in Poorhouse After Gramps Gives $$$ Away?

Posted Dec 27th 2007 7:00AM by TMZ Staff

All the coin that Paris thought she was going to get from her Hilton inheritance? It could be gone, gone, gone -- and it's all her grandfather's fault.

Barron Hilton announced Wednesday that he would be giving 97 percent of his $2.3 billion fortune to charity, specifically to the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, putting Paris' reported $30 million windfall in some doubt. (There will still be between $70M and $130M left, presumably for the family.)

A biographer has said that Grandpa Barron is "embarrassed" by Paris' behavior and supposedly even threatened to yank her inheritance entirely a few years back. Paris couldn't be reached for comment on the development.

Peeved Papa Spears a No-Show for Xmas


Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears' daddy is still so "furious" that their mama Lynne sold J-L's story to the glossies that he ditched his daughters for Christmas.

Us reports that Jamie Spears, a private chef, "didn't spend Christmas with [Lynne] or Jamie Lynn and instead stayed in L.A. to work." Unlike Lynne, says the mag, Jamie "doesn't get a dime from his daughters ... He busts his ass to take care of himself. That's why he's so furious with Lynne."

Jamie has, however, seen the Brit boys, Sean and Jayden, while in L.A., according to Us.

5. At least the Hilton fortune will go to some good use instead of wasted on Mr. B. Hilton's trashy Heirs. Even a remaining 130 Million isn't anything to sneer at - but Paris will have all her share spent within a year anyway. Then we can look forward to more half-assed porn put out by her. This time to pay the bills.

Now that's hot.

(Hah. Not really)

6. If only Paris knew what it was like to have to work for a living-
She should not get anything from her grandfather-he earned, she did not!

7. No grandfather who loves his family would abandon them financially because of one mistake.

It is to his benefit that she and her future children are able to survive in the world and get a good education to compete

8. Paris, who is nothing but a pornographic whore, deserves whatever is taken from her. I would be embarrassed to be seen with her, let alone be related to her. She has no class, is very masculine and ugly/gangly and has nothing to offer the world, including her lame "lay there" porn tape. I hope she winds up with nothing and has to get a job. Probably won't happen but it sure would be nice.

Britney and Jamie Lynn's father? Good for him. Except for those poor neglected children, I wouldn't want to come around them either. They are an embarrassment, along with the mother. Good for him for divorcing that loser trash.

9. Barron HIltom isn't abandoning his family! 30 million is still more than a normal person would see in 40+ lifetimes. If she is stupid enough to blow it all, well that's her fault. Plus everyone is forgetting the millions she is making for club hopping, so she may not have her billions of dollars running in her family, but she will still be a millionaire in her own right.

I now have a lot of respect for Papa Spears now. Spending Christmas away from his daughter must have been hard, but Jamie Lynn and Lynne didn't handle the magazine right. The family and Nickelodeon were the only two that needed to be involved with the pregnancy, but now the world knows and his pregnant 16 y/o is being labeled as a slut. It's got to be hard for him, especially since he is doing the right thing and not profiting from his daughters career/pregnancy...

10. Way to go Grandpa Hilton. Let Paris make her own way in this world. She has turned out to be a bottom feeder like Spears, Lohan and all the rest. You can only get paid for partying for so long. You will all be repalaced by the next generation of bottom feeders. Thats the cycle of life. The new feeds off the old.

11. Don't feel sorry for Paris just yet. Chances are excellent that the "foundation" is a front which will allow the Hilton family to still control the money while not paying any estate taxes on it, because it's a supposedly nonprofit organization.

You'd be surprised how many so-called charities, particularly ones founded by celebrities, are just clever schemes to avoid paying taxes. No wonder our educational system and our social system are so messed up - the wealthiest people in society are always weaseling out of paying their fair share.

12. PARIS HAS MULTI MILLIONS OF HER OWN MAKING.WHAT BULL.SHE DOESN'T NEED THE INHERITANCE.

13. I would not feel too sorry for the Heiress Paris , she makes about 7 million a year just being her.
The amouncement does diminish her star power though , not much of loss I always thought she was a tart anyways

14. Couldn't have happened to a bigger loser. She's so stupid she doesn't deserve the money!

15. Sounds like Conrad and Poppa Spears could be some stand up folks! Besides, what's parisite gonna do with the money but blow it on cloths, drugs, and parties! Too bad Conrad can't disown Paris totally! And the spears girls, what a parental nightmare they must be!
