From Google News... for what it's worth, etc.
It seems that there will always be people whose lives serve as an example of what we should not do with our own lives.

Overseas newspapers are notorious for getting stuff like this wrong. Remember when the official Chinese News Agency reran an article from the spoof site "The Onion" as true? It was an article about how Congress was going to remodel the Capitol building in washington to make the roof open up. LOL!!!

As much as they say they hate us, other countries just can't help but wonder what it's like to live here.

Paris Hilton's inheritance cut
5:00AM Tuesday July 31, 2007

Paris Hilton may be US$60 million ($78 million) out of pocket, according to news reports.
Her billionaire grandfather is reportedly so appalled by her behaviour - including her jail stint for drink-driving - that he has decided to cut her inheritance.
Family patriarch Barron Hilton has been embarrassed by her behaviour before. He was reportedly upset when her home sex video was leaked to the internet. But the Sydney Daily Telegraph reported that the 79-year-old considered her 23-day jail sentence the last straw.
Barron Hilton has decided the money from his inheritance will go to a charity instead.
He is the only family member in the Hilton clan left with a large stake in the Hilton hotel chain. He is due to receive about $2.4 billion from an impending sale of the company to a private equity firm.
The Telegraph quoted author, Jerry Openheimer, who wrote a bigraphy of the Hiltons, House of Hilton, as saying he did not want to leave unearned money to the family.

While I agree with Grand-dad's stance, this seems awfully "National Enquireish" to me.

I will believe Reuters over a New Zealand paper any day but I am still shocked that CNN, MSNBC, FOX, USA Today, Drudge Report, etc did not have this. They have covered her so extensively this seems right down their alley to blow up into a few days worth of discussion. Maybe it will hit tomorrow.
