In fact, the heiress – who just wrapped her reality show, I Wanna Be Paris's New Best Friend! – took to her blog Monday to refute one tall tale currently circulating.
"I read [that I was] walking by some puppies for sale, and demanding that I be given a Yorkie puppy to be an accessory for a photo shoot," she wrote on her MySpace celebrity blog. (According to the press reports, a Melrose Avenue pet store refused to let her have the animal – making Hilton go "ballistic.")
"I wasn't looking for a new pet. I wasn't even at a photo shoot that day," Hilton insists. "Puppies are not accessories or toys and I love my own pets dearly. I treat them as if they were my children."
Hilton's new reality show includes scenes of a pet adoption shelter, she says, "to spread the word about how these animals need loving owners."
"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,' " says the former Simple Life star (who's getting serious with boyfriend Benji Madden). "These stories have gotten out of control."
