Paris Hilton turned down West Side

Socialite Paris Hilton turned down the chance to take to the stage in London's West End - because the play didn't fit in with her schedule.

The hotel heiress was recently approached to take on the role of Roxie Hart in hit musical Chicago.

But Hilton turned down the part because it meant she would have to endure a gruelling six-day week.

She says, "We did some rehearsals, but then I found out it was six days a week for a couple of months.

"I was flattered, but with my schedule, there was no way I could fit it in."
