Paris ordered to restrain herself

Paris Hilton has been ordered to stay away from a party planner who claims she threatened his life.

The socialite heiress was given a restraining order after Brian Quintana alleged she made threatening calls to him, shoved him three times and warned friends not to do business with him.

'I have received numerous calls [from Hilton] threatening my life,' the 37-year-old told a US judge.

Mr Quintana met The Simple Life star on the Hollywood party circuit and they had a social relationship, he added.

He later became friends with Greek shipping heir Stavros Niarchos, introduced him to Hilton and the pair started dating.

Mr Quintana's friendship with Hilton soured when she interrupted a conversation in which he was urging Mr Niarchos to reconsider dating her, the court heard.

Hilton's spokesman Elliot Mintz insisted the 24-year-old, who did not appear in person, would be happy to keep her distance from Mr Quintana.

He added: 'If this results in Mr Quintana having to have a distance between himself and Paris, she's delighted. She doesn't wish to have anything to do with this man.'

After being granted the order at Los Angeles Superior Court, Mr Quintana said: 'I'm going to sleep better at night, knowing she or her henchmen can't come after me.'
