We mentioned yesterday that Paris Hilton is to be getting the big bucks for attending the Vienna Opera Ball. Word comes today that Britney Spears was originally supposed to attend the glitzy and elegant Ball with the heiress but has now been removed from the guest list due to her current beef with Paris Hilton. Britney just keeps getting shafted by Hilton. I guess Britney’s image is really screwed up.

Paris is the guest of wealthy industrialist Richard Lugner and his wife Christina who think Paris would be great for the ball which happens to be a highlight of Austria's social calendar.

Richard Lugner said: "Paris is a very good advertisement for the Opera Ball." When asked why Britney will no longer be attending, Christina Lugner said: "They unfortunately do not get along anymore."

The two were originally invited to the ball together. Paris is believed to be receiving $1 million smackeroos for the appearance.
