Hilton Fired as the Face of Club Paris

Fred Khalilian, owner of the nightclubs Club Paris in Orlando and Jacksonville, has decided that they will “no longer be associated” with their namesake, Paris Hilton, due to poor promotion on Hilton’s part.
Khalilian has said that he’s ‘fired’ Paris because “she has continuously failed to attend scheduled appearances at the club in Orlando.”
Paris’ lack of professionalism started when the club opened two years ago, with the heiress turning up 6 hours late to the grand opening!
“She’s created a circus for herself,” Khalilian said. “It’s all about: How has she screwed up now?”
Instead of changing the clubs’ names, which are now well known as ‘Paris,’ Khalilian said that the namesake behind the clubs is now the city of Paris, as opposed to the person.
Khalilian is planning to hold a competition to find the new face of Club Paris.
Hilton’s spokesperson, Elliot Mintz, has released a statement, saying that neither he or Ms Hilton had any knowledge of the ‘firing.’
“I’m certainly disappointed to learn of Fred’s unfortunate comments.” Mintz said. “We shall address his statements at the appropriate time.”
Perhaps Paris doesn’t support the club because she’s not getting paid millions to make an appearance??
