Paris Hilton’s claim to fame is being Paris Hilton at a nightclub. Just partying has made the Hilton heiress so popular that clubs have been paying ridiculous fees to have her show up at their venues. Hilton is currently in London, filming her UK version of My New BFF, and her take for appearance has been cut drastically.
Last time Paris was in London, she made in excess of $140,000 in appearance fees alone. This time, Hilton hasn’t even hit $50,000. The Daily Mail is citing the credit crunch for the falling fees, but I think it has more to do with waning interest.
A source close to the 27-year-old socialite said: ‘Paris demanded £50,000 from Paper nightclub. They were prepared to pay - but on the condition that she turn up twice, not go anywhere else before or after that evening, and stay for a minimum of two hours.
‘But she didn’t want to adhere to all the conditions so the club cancelled her appearance.’
Our spy added: ‘Whisky Mist also refused to pay. But she went there anyway because there was a chance that she would bump into royalty - and she did in the end.
[From Daily Mail]
The only club to reportedly pay Paris was Modiva, giving her £25,000 for her appearance. Hilton BFF’d with Katie Price that night and they danced like only Paris Hilton and Katie Price could do, I’m sure, in the VIP room. I’m so glad I didn’t see that. While Katie is known to imbibe more than a little bit, Paris only drank bottled water. Keeping her body clear of toxins for optimum babymaking?
Paris is getting older, and when the cool club starts getting invaded by the old people, young people find a new place to go. Take your $50,000 and be happy with it, Paris, soon the only appearance fees you’re going to be able to get will be for cosmetic counters, and they don’t pay that well.

Actually, Chessie, I was thinking the same thing. That header photo is probably the best picture I’ve seen of her in a long time. And I LOVE that dress (I’d love it more on me, though!)
Oh, and I agree that she is useless, as well.
-
She’s got plenty of money in the bank, why doesn’t she just retire before she makes a fool of herself? Concentrate on having that baby she’s always on about, and stop partying.
-
The quality of her fake hair has also really improved.
-
“BFF’d” as a verb is going into my active vocabulary. I love it.
Also.. if you look at her in the header pic and only focus on her face she kinda looks like an old man. You know, in a leopard print dress and comically giant feet. -
One of the fugliest women! EVER!
-
@Megan - Before she makes a fool of herself…the words ’stable door’, ‘horse’ and ‘bolted’ immediately came to mind when I read that.
-
geronimo: Yes yes, true that!
-
27 years old??? Wow, I though she was still in her early 20’s. Ummm, Paris, it’s time to pick up a book, go to school, get a job, etc. You know do something to garner some real life skills. You can’t be a “socialite” forever!
-
Wow, I’m surprised there were so many comments (two?) saying she looked nice. I think she looks more awful than usual. There has been more PH posts here in the two days then in the last month alone, she must have stepped up her marketing.
-
She really looks like her mom in the header pic.
-
Yeah, the woman just isn’t attractive. That square jaw and beak-like nose are a bad combination. She might look better if she put on weight to soften the edges, but I doubt Commander Cocaine would ever let that happen.
-
You are talking about US dollars ($50´000) but the article says pounds, so if she´s getting 50´000 pounds then it´s like 80´000 US dollars. Not as much as she used to make, but still an unbelievable amount of money just for showing up at a club.
-
Seems to me like she’s been 27 for a while. It sounds less desperate than “28″.
-
**,
Hilton was paid £25,000 by Modiva, which as I said, comes to less than $50,000. That is a fraction of the nearly $140,000 she has collected in previous trips for her appearances.
It’s more money than is warranted, but it’s much less than what she’s used to getting.

You should actually see her in person. She looks like a tranny. She has enormous feet and is so vapid. My sister said she didn’t think she could possibly like her less until she met her–then well, she liked her even less.
-
Um, yeah, it IS less than what she used to command, but the point is, you were saying that she was getting $50,000, when she was offered 50,000 POUNDS.
Also, this is across the pond, so maybe they don’t usually dole out as much as stupid Americans do for this type of thing. As much as I think she is getting less popular, I don’t think we should read so much into this particular financial arrangement.
-
OMG, the first thing that came to mind when I saw the header picture was,”who is this man with the red lipstick?”. I am taking a previous quote from a poster in this website:”her face hurts my feeling”!!
-
Not a very flattering picture of her- I can’t decide whether she looks more pre- or post-op
-
OK, let me try this again.
Last time in London, Paris collected £70,000, which converts to less than $140,000.
This time, Paris collected £25,000, which converts to less than $50,000.
Paris asked for £50,000 from Paper, but did not get it. The only club that paid her was Modiva, and they paid her £25,000.
Better?
-
Ceilidh, don’t worry. The only thing that matters here is that Paris’s days as a whateverthehellsheis are numbered. And not a nanosecond too soon.
-
She’s looking even fuglier and more bizarre lately and I HATE that red lipstick on her.
-
That first picture really shows what a terrible nose she has. It’s like a flaccid you-know-what.
-
Wow, she is aging fast and badly too. It gets to us all eventually, but all that partying obviously speeds it along. Her hands look a lot older than 27. And those arms are hideous!!!
-
Cinderella: That’s hilarious!
-
I like how you tied this wastiod’s fame with the economy in the title, C. But you’re totally wrong. The Hilton’s are so well insulated from our country’s financial crisis, she can afford to turn her nose up at a $50,000 paycheck for an honest night’s “work”.
-
Ha ha…oh, I’m sorry, but I can’t help myself:
“stupid Americans”
Yes…all 375 million of us. Bloody morons. Not an IQ above 80 in the lot.
-
Who cares, what the women gets payed. She doesn’t live in the real world. Hasn’t had to earn her way, through hard times, to understand how hard difficult it is to save money & pay bills. Whatever!!!!
-
I have heard from a hedge fund manager that the rich are actually hurting in this economy…I can’t explain it as eloquently as he, but it centers around the fact that people who live off of their investments are hurting now. B/c they don’t actually earn salaries…blah blah
-
ewwwww she look so awful in the header pic! her nose is so…weird and her eye is always so wonky-like. it looks like her fake eyelashes are like weighing her eye down or something!
she is disgusting. i dont know why people think she is even remotely attractive. -
She arms looks like she’s 50 or 60 years old. That nose is awful and she have a lazy eye. Her hand and feet looks like a man. Without make-up she looks like a witch!
-
She is like a lover that we have all just become bored with.

Although a useless person, I have to say that she looks much better in the red lipstick than her usual pale pink, and standing more upright instead of that weird extreme contortion she usually does.
