Paris Hilton said she turned down an invite to DJ at an event for the President of the United States. Instead, she attended Britney Spears’ wedding with her mother.
Hilton revealed her decision during a “This is Paris” podcast episode titled “This is… We Went to a Wedding Last Night” that she recorded after returning from Spears’ wedding last week.
“I was actually asked to DJ for the president and all of the other presidents around the world for the dinner,” she said at the 2:31 mark, “but this was more important to me.”
Hilton was referring to President Joe Biden’s dinner welcoming world leaders as part of the ninth Summit of the Americas, which was held the same night as Spears’ wedding, according to multiple reports.
In the podcast, Hilton also explained the level of secrecy for the wedding.
The former reality star said she “was keeping it top secret all week.”
“Literally, I did not tell anyone, not even the people I asked [for] dresses that were sent, my whole team, my glam, my driver, everyone.”
Hilton said she doesn’t plan to say much about Spears’ wedding out of respect for the pop star.
“I’m not gonna go into any details because it was the princess bride’s night and that’s her story to tell. But all I can say is that I am just so incredibly happy for her,” she continued. “She looked stunning. It made me so happy to see that she found her fairytale and they are a beautiful couple and just glowing. It just really warmed my heart to see her just so happy and free.”
Spears married longtime partner Sam Asghari on June 9 at her home in Los Angeles surrounded by about 60 family members and friends.
Along with Hilton, the guest list included Madonna, Drew Barrymore, Selena Gomez, and Donatella Versace.
Meanwhile, Spears’ mother and sister did not make the guest list. The pop star’s two children also did not attend the wedding because they “didn’t want to take away” the spotlight from their mother, according to Vincent Kaplan, the lawyer of Spears’ former husband and her children’s father Kevin Federline.
