Just days after Britney Spears announced she wouldn't be co-hosting the Billboard Awards alongside new BFF Paris Hilton comes word that the heiress herself has pulled out of hosting duties for tonight's live show from Las Vegas.

"It is my understanding that some satirical references ridiculed some of her peers," Mintz, said in a statement on Saturday, according to the Associated Press. "Paris did not want to say anything that could appear hurtful or embarrassing about people she knows."

That's the report according to People. What the Time Inc. tabloid didn't tell you is what the focus of those "satirical references" were: Potshots at Britney Spears crotch shots. Also going unreported by People: Paris Hilton does not have peers. Girl is in a league of her own.
