Paris Hilton can add another talent to her already expanding list of skills such as 'model', 'actress', 'singer' and 'entrepreneur'. It's 'racoon expert'. And it'll probably be the only legitimate skill she can claim.
Paris claims that her racoon expertise, like the majority of her 'talents', is all thanks to her family inheritance. This time thanks to the genes of her dad, Rick Hilton.
The 26-year-old explained all by launching into story that was slightly disturbing to hear from a grown woman.
"My dad has a pet racoon. He found it as a little baby and raised it. If you get to find them when they're in the nest and still as babies they'll open their eyes to you at first and they'll think you're their mother," she enthused.
But that's not all, her raccoon knowledge was actually put to use during the making of her new film 'Repo, A Genetic Opera', which may be even worse than watching an entire series of 'The Simple Life' and about as convincing as her performance in 'One Night in Paris.'
Director, Darren Lynn Bousman explained: "We had a family of raccoons on the set. We came back from lunch and they were sitting on chairs and on the actual monitors,' and probably doing a better job than the entire cast.
"I wanted to hug them but Paris pointed out they had rabies, so I ran away."
Imagine the joy there would have been in the world if this story could have ended with the pack of rabid racoons getting all bitey and infectious with Paris...
