The 30-year-old socialite has parted company with Cy Waits, the Las Vegas club promoter who was with the heiress when both were arrested on cocaine charges in Sin City last summer. Snoops tell Us Weekly that the former couple — who as recently as last week were said to be “re-evaluating” their relationship — have made the decision to part ways after Cy found it increasingly difficult to cope with the pitfalls of Paris’ high-profile lifestyle.Well — it’s a good thing he isn’t dating someone who’s actually relevant, isn’t it?!
“They are broken up. It’s sad, she cares about him a lot and thinks he’s a great guy but they really hit a rough patch. Cy found it difficult to live his life with her in the spotlight and that’s what caused their split, no drama, it’s amicable, but things didn’t work out,” a loose-lipped Paris pal blabbed to the tab on Monday.
Cy and Paris have been an item for over a year and a half — Ever since she split from former Hills star Doug Reinhardt — but Cy is reportedly upset that their private lives are being paraded around for public viewing (or laughter, depending on who you ask…) on her new — pitifully-rated Oxygen reality show, The World According to Paris.
We’re sure being tackled by Paris’ deranged stalkers haven’t helped the bonding process between the two.
“Cy is very upset with the series. He felt that way too much of their private life was shown. When he signed on to do the show, he had no idea the cameras would be so invasive.”
Interestingly enough, Cy isn’t the only person in Paris’ life giving the heiress a head snap and a “Gurl, Puhleeze!” Word is PH is having the darndest time getting anyone to take an interest in her latest reality venture. After the Oxygen stinker premiered to a feud with View producers and shaming ratings among views, Paris reportedly began “begging” frenemies like author/designer Nicole Richie and reality maven of the hour Kim Kardashian to guest star. Yeah….that didn’t go over so well. According to National Enquirer Gossip Guy Mike Walker, newlywed mom Nicole’s too busy juggling her responsibilities at work and home to relive any of those Simple Life days with Hilton. Kim, on the other hand, just can’t afford to get reacquainted with the woman some Celeb Gawkers say helped catapult her to fame in the first place.
“Nicole doesn’t feel beholden to Paris anymore,” an unnamed snitch tells Walker. “And even though Kim had mended fences with her one-time enemy, she didn’t want anything to do with the Paris show — saying it would ‘dillute her brand.’ That’s Kim speak for not wanting to prop up a competitor.”
The source adds: “Paris is reaping what she’s sown. She’s treated friends shabbily for so long that no one wants to appear on her show…”
