This story - about Elliot Mintz being fired by Paris Hilton - didn’t come as any great surprise to us.

When we heard Paris blame Mintz over the driving suspension hoohah on Friday, we figured while there was a small chance it was a great plan of his to get her off, it was more likely to be either true (a true misunderstanding) or Paris and her legal team had concocted the story without his permission.

In some ways, Elliot is probably rather relieved at “parting ways” with the socialite - he must be one of the hardest working reps there is with all the stories that circulate about her.
