(CBS)  Paris Hilton has joined her archenemy Lindsay Lohan in the ranks of the hard to work with celebrities. The New York Post's Page Six reported that one of Hilton's co-stars does not appreciate her work ethic — or lack thereof.

According to the Post, Hilton's "Bottoms Up" co-star, Simona Fusco, told celebrity journalist Chauncè Hayden that Hilton was constantly late on the set and that she "doesn't think there's any talent there."

"By the time Paris finally showed up, she was usually coming from a party . . . She never memorized her lines," Fusco told Hayden. "So now, not only does she show up late, but on top of it she didn't have her lines ready to go. It was a very long day working with Paris."

Hilton's party-girl rival Lindsay Lohan received similar criticism from her co-star, William H. Macy.

Last month Macy, who stars in "Bobby" with 20-year-old Lohan, told reporters that she was constantly late and he worries for her future. He also told reporters that he regards Lohan as a "huge talent."

In July, James G. Robinson, who heads the company that is producing her current movie, "Georgia Rule," wrote Lohan a widely publicized letter railing about her immature behavior, partying and constant lateness.

Hilton's public blemishes have gotten more serious of late, as last week she was arrested for driving under the influence in Las Angeles. Hilton's spokesman, Elliot Mintz told The ShowBuzz that Hilton had one margarita at a charity event before being pulled over.

According to the LAPD, Hilton is expected to be arraigned Sept. 28. Penalties for a first drunk-driving arrest typically include a fine, probation, an alcohol-rehabilitation program, license suspension and "other DUI-related conditions" such as community service.
