For a second night in a row, Paris Hilton and Kevin Federline found themselves running into each other while enjoying the Vegas party scene - with reports claiming that Paris made a move on the former Mr. Britney Spears.

As previously reported by Gossip Girls, the two spent Saturday night partying it up at LAX nightclub, with a source close to Federline telling People magazine that “Hilton invited the aspiring rapper back to her hotel room that evening.”

Continuing on with the Sin City nightlife, Paris and K-Fed both spent Sunday evening at Pure nightclub - where the former Simple Life star was hosting a party in the Caesars Palace Hotel and Casino hotspot.

And it became quite apparent that the hotel heiress had moved on from K-Fed, if there was ever really any interest at all. Paris, dressed in a sparkling pink dress, spent most of the night getting intimate with a mystery man, while K-Fed hung out with the boys as they pounded Jack Daniels straight from the bottle.

Tonight, the two are hosting separate New Years Eve parties. Hilton will play emcee at LAX while Federline is lined up to get the party started at Tangerine.

Kevin Federline has the hots for Paris Hilton!

It seems Britney Spears’ ex-husband Kevin Federline may have developed a bit of a crush on socialite Paris Hilton.

Kevin spotted the 26-year-old hotel heiress in Los Angeles’ Lax nightclub and reportedly got so excited he kept shouting out her name.

Finally, Kevin - who’s currently embroiled in a bitter legal battle with 26-year-old Britney, plucked up the courage and went over, gave Paris a kiss and then whispered something in her ear. The pair immediately began laughing together.

An onlooker told British newspaper The Sun: “It looked as though they were getting quite friendly.” But it is sure to cause more upset for an already distraught Britney.

She and K-Fed, 29, were divorced in July and he now has custody of their sons Sean Preston, two, and Jayden James, one.

The ‘Gimme More’ star is also said to feel betrayed by Hollywood pal Lindsay Lohan — who is dating Brit’s ex-love, music producer JR Rotem.

Paris Hilton Gets Cozy With Kevin Federline
From Fox News


Hotel party princess Paris Hilton was spotted cozying up to bosom buddy Britney Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline in Los Angeles this weekend, according to London's Daily Mail.

Capping off a catastrophic year for 26-year-old fallen pop star Spears, her out-on-the-town other half Paris was photographed getting friendly with her babies' daddy K-Fed at hotspot Lax.

Hilton, also 26, hit the club circuit alone and Brit-less over the weekend.

But K-Fed soon rushed to the former prisoner's side and planted a kiss on her cheek. The pair were seen giggling and whispering throughout

Scandals of Hilton

Barron Hilton

If the gossip in Los Angeles' most exclusive haunts is to be believed, Barron Hilton is giving his huge fortune to charity for one reason - his disgust at the antics of his granddaughter Paris.

But if 80-year-old Barron believes Paris has dragged the Hilton name through the mud, he's plainly lost sight of his family's scandalous history.

While the blonde heirhead may have appeared in an internet sex video and done jail time, compared to the sins of some of her relatives, Paris is a vestal virgin...

The rise of the Hilton clan could have come straight from the pages of a Harold Robbins blockbuster.

In the 137 years since Paris's great-great grandfather emigrated to America, the Hilton family has been plagued by drug abuse, alcoholism, domestic violence and even alleged Mob connections.

The House of Hilton really found its feet in 1870 when young Gus Hilton sailed to the US from his native Norway. After marrying a local girl he ran a grocery store, and the couple had eight children.

But it was their second child, Conrad, who was to have such an impact on 20th Century America.



Born in New Mexico in 1887, the budding tycoon bought his first hotel in 1919, shortly after serving in France during the First World War. The Mobley Hotel in Cisco, Texas, was a run-down two-storey building in the middle of nowhere, but Conrad realised there was big money in the state's oil boom.

He bought the 120-room establishment for Û40,000 cash - and by cannily renting rooms in rotating eight-hour shifts to riggers, was soon on his way to his first million.

His personal life was less successful. His first marriage, in 1925 to Mary Barron, lasted just nine years thanks to his constant philandering but produced two children, Nicky and Barron, Paris's grandad.

In 1942 he married his second wife, a Hungarian starlet called Zsa Zsa Gabor who, at 25, was just eight years older than his eldest son Nicky.

But the relationship was not to last. Conrad's Catholicism and guilt over his earlier divorce had rendered him virtually impotent - the couple had separate bedrooms - and he was too busy building his hotel empire to pay attention to his young bride.

Zsa Zsa found solace in the arms of her husband's son...

After he saw his father kissing his young bride, Nicky had quipped, "Dad, what must a fellow do to get a kiss like that from Zsa Zsa?" When the couple separated in 1944 he had a chance to find out by beginning a secret affair with his stepmother. As Zsa Zsa later recalled: "It lasted through my divorce from his father... and beyond Nicky's betrothal to Elizabeth."

The Elizabeth in question was Elizabeth Taylor. A romance between the hotel heir and Hollywood's brightest star was manna for gossip columnists and as rumours of an engagement spread, she wittily told one journalist, "Nothing comes off until the ring goes on."

Those who knew the rugged Hilton heir were less excited by the romance.

One of her friends, Doris Lilly, knew of a model who'd been unfortunate enough to date him and had "got used to hearing hair-raising tales about how he drank too much and then beat her up, how he kept a loaded revolver by his bed and would shoot the lights out while high on drugs".

Despite the omens, the wedding went ahead in May 1950, at Beverly Hills' Church of the Good Shepherd - or Our Lady of the Cadillacs as it was waggishly known. It was attended by stars including Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds while 200 police held back 10,000 cheering fans.

Yet the dazzling spectacle was in complete contrast to their honeymoon. Journalist Art Buchwald, who was staying at the same venue, said Hilton spent his wedding night drinking at a bar until 4am.

"Rumour had it he didn't consummate his marriage until their third night together," he says. "She found him extremely appealing, but I'm not certain he found her so irresistible."

Carole Doheny, a former MGM starlet, says: "Nicky was spoiled silly, while she exuded the air of a pampered prima donna. He resented her fame and she envied his wealth."

Later, the antagonism exploded during a trip aboard the Queen Mary. After blowing Û100,000 at the luxury liner's casino, Nicky punched Elizabeth in the stomach.

The Duchess of Windsor, who was aboard the ship, later remarked: "You'd have thought they were at the end of a marriage, rather than the beginning."

The inevitable end came in late 1950 when he kicked his pregnant wife in the stomach and Taylor later revealed how she lost their baby.

"He was drunk. I didn't know I was pregnant, so it wasn't a malicious act... I had terrible pains. This is not why I was put on earth. God did not put me here to have a baby kicked out of my stomach." Nicky died, ravaged and booze-sodden from a heart attack in 1969 at the age of just 42 and it was left to Nicky's brother, Barron, to continue the lineage, eventually having no less than eight children.



The sixth, born in 1955, was Rick who now runs a real estate company and is father to four children, including Paris, 26, and her 24-year-old sister Nicky.

It will never be an ordinary family. Although Rick was smitten when he met his future wife Kathy Richards in the late 70s, the wedding almost never happened

Author Jerry Oppenheimer claims Kathy's mother was married to a man with Mafia connections and she was so worried it might scupper her daughter's wedding to the fabulously wealthy Hilton heir she divorced him, clearing the way for the 1979 marriage.

In the same year, Conrad Hilton died, leaving his entire fortune to charity. Barron challenged the will, eventually winning a 10-year legal battle to get his hands on most of it.

Ironically it is that same Barron who is now planning to leave the Hilton fortune to charity. And while Paris is no longer in line for a share of his billions, she has parlayed her own notoriety into millions of dollars.

In fact, given her remarkable ability to turn any situation into an earning opportunity, perhaps Barron would have been well advised to leave her the entire Hilton family fortune.

Paris Hilton's inheritance goes to charity

Barron Hilton, the son of the man who founded the hotel chain and made the family fortune, is to give all but a fraction of his $2.3bn to charity, in the latest philanthropic gesture by the dynasty.
His son, Steven Hilton, announced that his father would give 97% of his $2.3bn net worth to the Conrad N Hilton Foundation, the charitable organisation named after the dynasty's founder.

"Speaking for the family as well as the foundation, we are all exceedingly proud and grateful for this extraordinary commitment," said Steven Hilton, the foundation's head as well as one of Barron's six sons and an uncle to Paris Hilton.

Barron Hilton, 80, who is known to be unamused by his granddaughter Paris's tabloid antics, follows in the footsteps of his father, who left his entire estate, including his 27% controlling stake in the hotel group, to the foundation on his death in 1979.
Barron Hilton's wealth has grown in recent months thanks both to the sale of Hilton hotels to the Blackstone Group, and the pending acquisition of the casino and hotel corporation Harrah's Entertainment, in which Hilton owns a stake, for $17bn.

He pledged an immediate $1.2bn donation to the foundation, with the balance to follow after his death.

Barron Hilton is said to have been increasingly dismayed by the recent behaviour of his granddaughter Paris, who initially achieved fame thanks to an internet sex tape and has since used that notoriety to advance a career that thrives on public exposure, whether as a pop star, a reality TV star or simply someone who likes to go to nightclubs.




Her incarceration earlier this year on a drink-driving charge, and the subsequent media ballyhoo that surrounded her premature release and ensuing re-imprisonment, are thought to have strained already fraught relations within the Hilton dynasty.

Jerry Oppenheimer, author of House of Hilton, said that Barron Hilton "was, and is, extremely embarrassed by how the Hilton name has been sullied by Paris. He now doesn't want to leave unearned wealth to his family."

The gift, which will initially be given to a charitable trust before eventually benefiting the foundation, will increase the wealth of the Hilton foundation to $4.3bn and turn it into one of the top philanthropic bodies in the US.

The foundation, which describes its mission as "to relieve the suffering, the distressed and the destitute", provides funding for clean water, education, housing and drug projects. It also funds a project for Roman Catholic nuns in Los Angeles.

Barron Hilton is a noted society host, welcoming guests to his lavish Flying M Ranch in Nevada, a million-acre property near Reno renowned for its hunting and fishing. Guests arrive on a private landing strip using one of the hotel magnate's collection of aircraft.

Earlier this year the ranch was in the news when the businessman and adventurer Steve Fossett went missing after leaving the property in a small plane. He was never found, despite an extensive search of the surrounding desert.

Conrad Hilton was born in a small adobe house on Christmas Day, 1887, in what would later become the state of New Mexico. He was one of seven children born to a Norwegian immigrant father and a German-American mother. He began working in his father's general store and bought his first hotel, the 40-room Mobley hotel in Cisco, Texas, in 1919, before going on to create the largest and most profitable international hotel chain in the world.

Barron Hilton, 80, whose father Conrad founded the Hilton Hotel chain in 1919, will donate most of his fortune to the Conrad N Hilton Foundation. Only three per cent - $69 million - will be left to his heirs.

He has eight children and 23 grandchildren.

The future fortune of Paris Hilton, the hotel heiress, has taken a hit after her grandfather said that he would give 97 per cent of his $2.3 billion (£1.15 billion) wealth to charity.

Barron Hilton, 80, whose father Conrad founded the Hilton Hotel chain in 1919, will donate most of his fortune to the Conrad N Hilton Foundation. Only three per cent - $69 million - will be left to his heirs.

He has eight children and 23 grandchildren.


Paris, who had stood to inherit an estimated $100 million, will now receive about $5 million after tax.



Mr Hilton, the chairman of the foundation, said he was "proud to follow my father's example". On his death, in 1979, Conrad Hilton left 97 per cent of his money to the foundation he had founded in 1944. But his son challenged the will and reached an accord dividing ownership of the shares with the foundation.

Paris had no immediate comment. According to Forbes magazine, the socialite earned $6.5 million last year.

There have been conflicting reports about her relationship with her grandfather, who is said to be embarrassed by Paris, who gained notoriety for an internet sex tape and was jailed for probation violation in a drink-driving case.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seems Paris Hilton's inheritance has been reduced a tad.

Why?


Well, reports say her grandfather, Barron Hilton, has decided to give 97 per cent of his fortune, estimated to be nearly $2.3bn (around £1.15bn), to the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation.

His fortune will aid the foundation in helping the homeless, finding safe water in developing countries and helping with other causes around the globe.

So, how does this all relate to dear Paris?




Well, she's one of his heirs, and it's thought the remaining three per cent of his fortune, a meagre $69m (£34.5m), will go to said heirs.

The New York Daily News says that Paris, who apparently once stood to inherit $100m (£50m), could now inherit just $5m (£2.5m).

That's gotta hurt... only a couple of million squid?

A statement released by Barron mentioned he was proud to follow his father, Conrad, who also donated 97 per cent of his money to the foundation.

Hilton 'pledges fortune to charity'
9 hours ago

Paris Hilton's grandfather Barron Hilton has apparently said he will give about 1.2 billion dollars to charity.

According to the Associated Press, the hotel heir said in an announcement he will donate the money to the Conrad N Hilton Foundation, a charity founded by his father six decades ago.

Any such move would mean Paris Hilton losing a considerable part of her expected inheritance.

The funds will reportedly come from this year's sale of the Hilton Hotels Corp. and the pending sale of Harrah's Entertainment.

It seems the money will go into a trust but eventually will find its way to the foundation.

The charity apparently said Paris' grandfather also intends to leave the bulk of his net worth to the foundation when he dies.

At present, he is worth an estimated 2.3 billion dollars.

Jerry Oppenheimer, author of a 2006 book about the Hiltons, has said the hotel magnate is embarrassed by the behaviour of his socialite granddaughter.

The 80-year-old Hilton has never publicly commented on Oppenheimer's remarks.

Paris Hilton Warms to Berlin's Cold-Weather Fun

In addition to enjoying the steamy nightlife, Paris Hilton is checking some of the chillier activities Berlin has to offer.

In a video shot Thursday in Potsdamer Platz, a big public square in the city center, Hilton, 26, is seen hopping on an inflatable rubber tire and sledding down a 230-ft. artificial snow mountain.

She also chatted with fans – and at one point had to scurry out of the way of another sledder – in what was a decidedly G-rated outing compared to Hilton's recent pole-dancing routine at a Berlin nightclub.

Hilton is in town to shoot an ad campaign for RICH Prosecco, in which she has an ownership stake.

She may be in Berlin for business to shoot racy ads for RICH Prosecco – but that doesn't mean Paris Hilton is skipping the club scene. The heiress hit up Maxxim Nightclub for a night of (pole) dancing for fellow clubgoers.
