LATEST: A Los Angeles party planner’s restraining order against socialite PARIS HILTON has an unusual twist – the warring pair are allowed to attend the same parties. Promoter BRIAN QUINTANA, 37, was granted a court order last month, ordering the hotel heiress, 25, to stay at least 100 yards away from him. However, the distance is reduced to 25 feet (7.62 metres) if the couple are at the same social event. Quintana complained Hilton bombarded him with threatening phone calls and insulted him with racial slurs after their friendship ended. He claims he introduced THE SIMPLE LIFE star to her current boyfriend STAVROS NIARCHOS III, but fell foul of Hilton when he advised the Greek shipping heir to reconsider his relationship with the party girl. After Hilton was recently refused entry to a Grammy party last month because of Quintana’s presence at the event, their attorneys drafted an unusual restraining order that was approved by Los Angeles Court Commissioner TIM MURPHY on Monday. When the pair attend the same bashes, “the stay-away distance may be shortened to 25 feet”.
I don’t see why a restraining order is needed at all. If it is true, as the Sun Sentinel reported, that Quintana tried to bring the same charges against actress Stefanie Powers 15 years ago, you know Quintana is after MONEY.
