Britney fans 'leave Hilton in tears'

Paris Hilton was left in tears after being booed by Britney Spears fans, reports claim.

The hotel heiress was invited to make a surprise appearance at a birthday party only to find the guests expecting to see Spears perform.

Party-goers at the bash for Von Dutch designer Christian Audigier's daughter had been hoping to see the Toxic singer and started booing after learning that Hilton was the special guest.

"The entire room - which had just cheered when they thought Britney Spears was coming - booed loudly," a source told Metro.

"Paris was practically in tears and left without taking the stage."

Hilton has previously voiced her interest in working with Spears on the follow-up to her debut album Paris.
