Has Paris Hilton Been Disinherited?

From a sex tape gone public to non-stop partying to 23 days in prison for a DUI, Paris Hilton has done it all with what seemed as little consequences. But perhaps the "celebutante" will pay a hefty fee after all. Sources say that her grandfather, Conrad "Barron" Hilton, is none too pleased with the young heiress and has said to have disinherited her, according to an Australian news source. However, not only does Paris miss out on her $60 million inheritance, but so will the rest of his 11 grandchildren. Instead the money will go to the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, a charity named after the founder of the family business. But don't worry, Paris has a singing career to fall back on, like a role in the upcoming musical, 'Repo! The Genetic Opera'. From Variety:

After spending most of the year living a soap opera, Paris Hilton will be part of a real opera this fall.

Hilton has joined Alexa Vega and Paul Sorvino in the cast of "Repo! The Genetic Opera," a full-blown musical thriller co-financed by "Saw" makers Twisted Pictures and Lionsgate.

Darren Lynn Bousman, director of three "Saw" films, including the fourth entry, which opens Oct. 26, has spent several years working on the movie version of an opera hatched with screenwriter-composers Darren Smith and Terrance Zdunich. Dan Heffner and Twisted's Carl Mazzocone, Mark Burg and Oren Koules are producing.

Hilton will sing in a futuristic thriller framed around musical numbers that range from opera to rock. The setting is 2056, when a plague nearly destroys the human race and survival is dependent upon being able to finance a pricey organ transplant.

Hilton plays a daughter of the organ transplant magnate (Sorvino) who is the villain of the piece.

"This movie has become my life," said Bousman. "I have auditioned at least 30 actresses for this role -- Paris came in and owned it. She is this role."
