Hilton has dropped out as she did not feel comfortable with cracking scripted jokes about the nominees; some of whom are her personal friends.
Her publicist Elliot Mintz said of his client: "It is my understanding that some satirical references ridiculed some of her peers,"
"Paris did not want to say anything that could appear hurtful or embarrassing about people she knows.�
Or maybe she would just have problems reading the auto-cue with that squiffy eye of her.
It is as yet unclear who will replace Hilton at the ceremony taking place in Las Vegas tonight.
