Columnist Cindy Adams at the New York Post gossip desk is reporting that the Paris Hilton - Paris Latsis romance is on the rocks, according to the parents of "The Simple Life" star.
Adams reports the following conversation was "clearly, clearly, clearly overheard" by a source at a Hamptons restaurant between Rick and Kathy Hilton at the next table:
Kathy: "I'm not thrilled with this Latsis kid because of his values. He lives in a $12 million house in Beverly Hills and has no job. My kids, Paris and Nicky, worked part-time since they were 15, as Rick did. I feel this kid has no motivation to work ever. Why would he? He's a billionaire almost and his family lets him have and do what he wants. He's not a bad kid. Just not motivated."
, "I don't knock him to Paris at all. I never tell her what to do. But I am fearful for her future with him. And I do not think she should marry him. I hope she doesn't, but I'll always support everything my kids do.
"Paris is now just discovering her own self. And what matters to her in life. She's still developing emotionally and professionally. Her ideals and tastes will change. I do not want her divorced. From anyone. I want her to make good choices for herself — as Rick and I did."
Rick: "He's nice, but nobody except a rich kid. Why isn't he working? Even in his family's business?"
Kathy: "Thank God she's stopped seeing him regularly."
