As reported last week, there was a tape that allegedly shows Paris Hilton calling two black men "dirty n-----," behind their backs at a party. Since then, all hell has broken loose. Niger Innis told The Enquirer that Paris' Fox show is bound to lose viewers. "The way Paris used the word was clearly racist," said Innis. "She intended harm. She is going to pay a price. People are going to be very cold to her in the future. "Paris is famous for two reasons. One, she was born filthy rich and two, she is a bit of a tramp. Her value as a commodity is severely damaged. I think she will lose viewers from her show 'The Simple Life' and that certainly won't pain me. "I can only quote Ricky Ricardo as he often said in 'I Love Lucy'...Paris has 'lots of explain ing to do.' A lot!" Okkkay! Paris' racist outburst could also jeopardize her friendship with Nicole Richie. Sources say that tension over the slur may be the reason Paris was a no-show at Nicole's 23rd birthday bash in LA last month. But others say that Paris' image will recover from the foulmouthed fiasco. Hollywood celebrity manager Jay Bernstein knows the Hiltons and Lionel Richie--and while Paris' comment was stupid, he doesn't think she is racist. "This was a really offensive thing for her to say," he told TheEnquirer. "It was a dumb, thoughtless thing to say. But we all say dumb things. It doesn't sound like she did it maliciously." I don't think she really feels that way. If she did, Nicole wouldn't be her best fri end. sucks teef Since when has Nicole claimed she was black? Besides when it effects her shopping allowance? crickets "And I don't think it will affect Paris' commercial viability. She'll apologize for it and things will go on for her." Of course they will, all she gotta do is pay ma’f*cka’s off! first stop, Nicole’s house. Paris didcomment on the N-bomb drama. Hilton said through her spokeswoman: "I am deeply hurt by recent reports. Anyone who knows me knows that this is not me. I love everybody and am not a person who discriminates against anyone - ever" What a lyin’ ss b*tch!
