Nicky Hilton’s Hotel Hoax

Filed under: Celebutards

What a shocker: Nicky Hilton is as much of an interior designer as her sister is, well, anything outside of a media whore.

According to HotelChatter, Nicky did not actually design her Nicky O signature brand of hotels, as she’d claimed. Rather, Nizar Idrisi, a licensed Los Angeles-based architect, was contacted by Nicky to develop the design concepts and renderings for her hotels. He agreed to do it on one condition: in exchange for a a smaller fee, he requested press coverage and credit for his involvement. However, Nicky and her manager ultimately decided they’d rather keep Idrisi’s name out of the media. Why? Because his partner is none other than Faye Resnick (of O.J. Simpson murder trial notoriety) — thus setting off a firestorm between Idrisi and Hilton’s people, resulting in the exchange of nasty and threatening e-mails. To add insult to injury, Idrisi also claims he still hasn’t been paid for his services.

So if not a designer, what is Nicky’s role in the project? Idrisi paints Nicky as a 23-year-old kid manipulated by her handlers. He does, however, give her credit for being the more serious of the Hilton sisters — “she has a bit of a rock ‘n’ roll edge” — and sharing some ideas for the hotel design:

“Sometimes she would send me something she ripped out of a magazine, and say ‘I like this’. We had a meeting in Miami by the pool of the Royal Palm with fashion designers who were going to design some suites. It was a very important meeting. We were all going over stuff and Nicky was just out there swimming in the pool with one of her friends that came down from New York. Every so often she would look over at us and wave.”

This is just devastating. Next we’ll hear that Paris Hilton can’t really sing. Or write her own books. Or doesn’t have real blue eyes. Oh, wait…

    Yeah not surprising. Wonder if she also got someone else to design those fugly 7 bowling bags of hers? If I were her, I wouldn’t WANT to take credit for any of it.

    I think Nicky is kind of strange. She can be kind of cute at times…but strange.
    This picture is not one of those “times” I was refering to. Hell, what am I saying. She is rich, I would shag her pretty little butt no matter what she looked like. And her gorgeous little sister too. Thats right. I know just how you women think, and I have adapted to your ways of thinking, thus, my admiration for rich women. Its all about the dollar bill.

    Neither Hilton is cute and they both just need to give up their OVER 15 minutes.

    Too bad. I thought she might be the one Hilton sister with talent.

    Don’t be jealous, Julie. The Hiltons are rich. They don’t have to be cute. I think they are, though. And since I think so, that makes it so. Since I am the messiah, and mine is the only opinion that matters, they are cute. Cute. Cute. Cute.

    So, they’re not Designing Sisters. I’m not surprised.

    She is really odd looking. The forehead, the shape of the face, it’s all so weird looking.

    Ditto, BISS. Nicky and Paris should get the number of Ashlee’s surgeon.

    So not jealous, CL. That’s great that you find them cute, but i do not and am tired of seeing their ugly mugs everywhere. $$$$ is not the be all end all.
