ORLANDO, Florida - Two nightclubs known as Club Paris will no longer be associated with their namesake -- Paris Hilton.
Owner Fred Khalilian says he "fired'' the hotel heiress because she has continuously failed to attend scheduled appearances at the location in downtown Orlando, Florida. Khalilian says the troubles started two years ago when Hilton showed up six hours late for the grand opening.
In his words: "She's created a circus for herself.''
Khalilian does not want to change the name of the Orlando club, or one opened in Jacksonville last year, because he says the name is so well known.
He says that instead of Club Paris representing Hilton, it will stand for the city.
Hilton's spokesman says neither he nor Hilton have been contacted by Khalilian.
The spokesman says he's disappointed by Khalilian's comments.
