It's Over

A source very close to the groom’s family says that the wedding plans are off—and have been for months.

It all began in July, when Latsis reportedly took his bride-to-be to meet his parents on their yacht anchored near Mykonos—only to be preempted by an exposé on Hilton in the Greek tabloid Very Sorry that included highlights from her sexual resumé and stills from One Night in Paris. The Latsises, a staunchly conservative Greek Orthodox family that until recently was sheltered from the media whirl, had dismissed talk of Hilton’s sordid exploits as ungrounded gossip. But when embarrassing articles about her began appearing in their local papers, they decided to take a closer look.

Enter Rick and Kathy Hilton, arriving in sunny Greece to get chummy with their high-falutin’ in-laws. “They were supposed to meet with the Latsises, but after Mrs. Latsis found out what was going on [from the Greek papers], she quickly hopped on a boat and refused to meet with them,” says the source. “For their son to even think of marrying such a woman is an insult to the entire family. She simply looks like a promiscuous innkeeper’s daughter to them. Paris [Latsis] knew this, which is why he didn’t tell his mother the whole story. He knew she wouldn’t agree to the match.”

And he was right. “When Paris [Hilton] realized what was going on, she was fuming—fuming!—at her supposed fiancé for not standing up for her and for the embarrassment she and her family were going through,” we’re told. “They had flown half-way around the world to be humiliated.”

Since then the engagement has existed only in tabloids (and the pages of Vanity Fair, whose cover story and photo shoot of the happy couple were completed weeks before the trip, we’re told). “Paris is trying to save her image, denying the truth, but in reality, Latsis dumped her on orders from his family, specifically his mother,” the source says. “It’s a reality check for her and her parents.”

In the two months since, West Coast sources say, Hilton has been rebounding—or at least making a strained attempt to convince people that she’s rebounding—with her producer, Scott Storch. At Nacional in L.A. a few nights ago, she talked nonstop about Storch and his “genius,” we’re told. “Every chance she had when someone asked what she was up to she went on and on about Storch.” Her L.A.-based “fiancé,” of course, was nowhere in sight.

Hilton’s rep, Rob Zimmerman, was unavailable for comment.
