KEY POINTS:
Paris Hilton has cancelled an appearance at next week's Billboard Music Awards because she didn't like jokes being written for her.
"Some satirical references ridiculed her peers," her spokesman, Elliot Mintz, said. "Paris did not want to say anything that could appear hurtful or embarrassing about people she knows."
When representatives for Hilton and the awards show could not come to an agreement about the script's content, she decided to scrap the appearance.
