Hilton Handles Rumors

Celebrity blogs are proving to be a big hit this year. What with stars increasingly finding it to be a means to stay atop the popularity charts, blogging is very much in. Paris Hilton, for instance, being a regular blogger at MySpace, has made blogging her new weapon against rumour-mongerers and gossip columnists. The latest pet-store rumour that centers around the hot celeb, claims that she has been spotted to throw tantrums while asking for a Yorkie puppy put up for sale, in order to use it as an accessory in one of her photoshoots. Paris slams it down to be utterly baseless, as on that particular date, she was actually shopping at the DCMA clothing store, just down the street, and was nowhere near to a photoshoot. Furthermore, she adds, that being the owner of a Yorkie puppy already, she really didn’t need to buy another one.

The rest of the blog revolves around an account of herself as the ideal animal-lover, who could never dream of using an animal as a mere toy or accessory. Paris clearly seems to be quite hurt and annoyed at being the target of yet another cruel controversy.

The MTV Simple Life star is currently shooting for a new reality show produced by MTV, titled, Paris Hilton’s My New BFF ( Best Friends Forever), where twenty contestants are going to compete with each other to establish firm friendship ties with the ‘iconic’ blonde. In her blog, Hilton confirms that the show is going to include an episode where a local animal shelter campaigning for better care for pets.

That sounds promising enough, coming straight from the heart of a controversy queen, who is also, incidentally, a self-acclaimed animal activist. Indeed, her favourite chihuahua, Tinkerbelle, is reputed to be her constant companion, though some consider it to be nothing but a popularity stunt on the part of Hilton. Here’s hoping that her blog serves to give her a clean chit this time.
