Both Britney Spears and Paris Hilton have canceled their scheduled appearances at Monday night’s Billboard Music Awards, according to multiple reports. Though the nightclub-hopping duo were originally scheduled to co-host the event, those plans were changed when Britney abruptly pulled out of her commitment without giving a reason. A few days later, Paris changed her mind as well:

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 embarrassing about people she knows.”

Uh, yeah. Because when I think Paris Hilton, I think “classy, considerate dame who has no interest in mocking, snubbing, or otherwise seeking to humiliate her peers.” She is instead much more interested in performing every known sex act — as well as several newly invented ones — with her peers’ boyfriends, relatives, and family pets.
