Paris Hilton Drops 'F-Bomb' On Fire-Dispatch Radio
Controversial heiress Paris Hilton is back in the news in New Jersey, after she apparently made an FCC violation by using obscene language on a publicly broadcast fire-dispatch radio.
Hilton and friend Nicole Richie were in Atlantic City on Jan. 14 filming their television series "The Simple Life 2" at the city's fire station at Mississippi and Atlantic Avenues.
According to witnesses, Hilton gained access to the radio system used to dispatch firefighters. Hilton then said on the live microphone, "Ladder 1, OK, mother (expletive)!"
The use of obscene language on public airwaves, even for fire dispatching, usually falls under the regulation of the Federal Communications Commission. There's no word on if any action will be taken. The expletive was the dreaded "F-bomb" that has landed other public speakers in trouble.
The series was filming at the station after a New Jersey school district declined to allow Hilton and Richie to work as teachers and cafeteria monitors at a middle school earlier this month.
In related news, New Jersey environmental officials have issued summonses to two men who apparently shot a deer for "The Simple Life," even though they had no connection to the program and weren't asked to kill the animal by producers.
The show's producers had strongly denied allegations the alleged poaching was tied to the show. (Click here for that full story.)
The show's third season, which premieres Jan. 26, has the 22-year-old Hilton and co-star Richie traveling the nation, working as interns in a series of menial jobs.
