Paris Hilton may no longer be the namesake for two highly popular nightclubs in Florida. Fred Khalilian, owner of the two nightclubs (Club Paris), claims he fired the hotel heiress because she has missed so many scheduled appearances in the downtown Orlando bar. Apparently, the socialite has had a difficult time keeping up with her duties ever since the bar opened two years ago. The club owner claims Paris showed up 6 hours late for the grand opening of the club.
Khalilian has decided that the business will remain under the Paris name, however he makes it very clear that he no longer wants the name to be associate with Paris Hilton, but the city of Paris instead.
Paris Hilton used to be the face of the two nightclubs. This will no longer be in effect. Khalilian plans to search for a new face for the clubs in the very near future. Fred plans to hold a competition to find the best face for his 2 clubs.
Paris has yet to be informed of the bad news. When contacted, Hilton's rep Elliot Mintz told The Associated Press that he has not yet been contacted in regards to the situation, nor has Paris Hilton. "I'm certainly disappointed to learn of Fred's unfortunate comments" says Mintz. "We shall address his statements at the appropriate time" he finishes.
Paris Hilton was paid $500,000 dollars for her appearance in Sydney Australia the past week to promote Bondi Beer - Perhaps Khalilian can't afford the Hilton's time anymore.
