Paris Hilton was “greatly offended” when a reporter on Australia’s version of The Today Show dared to insinuate that one day, she might not be famous anymore. Radar Online says:

Correspondent Edwina Bartholmew asked Paris, “What about when you’re not famous anymore, what are you going to do?”

The 31-year-old Hilton responded by saying that she “just wants to be able to have children and have a normal life with my kids.”

Although she said it all in her typical Paris baby-tone complete with a smile, her publicist later made it clear that the heiress was not happy with being asked about losing her fame.

Sunrise producers were told that if they aired the full interview they would not be allowed on the red carpet at the opening of [the Marquee casino] that night.

The show didn’t take kindly to being threatened by Hilton and ran it anyway, and the clip of the segment provides a hilarious insight into the real world of Paris.

Things did not end on such friendly terms with Channel 7, the Australian network that broadcasts Sunrise. They’ve now been banned from interviewing Paris ever again.

Banned from ever interviewing Paris again? Such a blow to Australian morning television! Think of all the witty repartee and clever banter that will never be exchanged! Interviewing her is practically like engaging the Algonquin Round Table itself. I don’t think Channel 7 will ever fully recover.
