LAS VEGAS (AP) _ It's splitsville in Sin City.

Hotel heiress Nicky Hilton and New York businessman Todd Andrew Meister have officially ended their brief marriage.

A Las Vegas judge on Tuesday granted the newlyweds an annulment, according to a joint statement issued by the couple's representatives.

``Both parties have ended the marriage amicably, and they remain good friends,'' the statement said.

Hilton, 21, married Meister, 33, at the Las Vegas Wedding Chapel on Aug. 15.

It's not clear when the pair filed the annulment paperwork in Clark County Family Court. A court spokesman said a case under the name of Todd Meister was filed Monday but the judge sealed it.

Hilton, younger sister of ``The Simple Life'' star Paris Hilton, has dabbled in acting, appearing in ``Wishman'' in 1991 and presenting at MTV award shows.
