PRET A WALKER

The tears are fairly flowing from Paris Hilton's wonk-eye (and probably streaming straight up her forehead) as the socialite feels she is being unfairly picked on by some parts of the media. It was reported last week that Paris popped into a pet store to buy a cute little puppy for a photo shoot since it would go well with her dress. When the staff refused (the story goes) Paris flounced out like a carrier bag caught in an up-draught.

Well, it's just not true, says Paris, defending herself on her MySpace page, whimpering like the spoilt little animal that she is.

"I wasn't looking for a new pet, I wasn't even at a photo shoot that day, (I was down the street at Benji's DCMA clothing store) and I actually have a Yorkie puppy. I love animals and the cruel things people say are not acceptable…So it is sad that someone felt the need to invent a story about me throwing a fit for a dog that would "go with my outfit."

"I have no idea where people come up with these stories and they are spreading to so many news outlets that I just have to speak my mind.”

The sad thing is that this story is inherently likely, and all because Paris has acted in the past like a self-obsessed little show pony, using animals as props on many nights out. So this is Paris speaking her mind, and what a surprise – it's all whine, whine, whine.
