Paris Shops with Benji, Clears Up Puppy Rumors
Paris Shops with Benji, Clears Up Puppy Rumors
When you’re rich, famous, and bored a little shopping helps to pass the time. And yesterday, Paris Hilton and Benji Madden were out and about in Los Angeles spending money like it was going out of style.
The “Stars are Blind” songstress and her Good Charlotte rocker boyfriend were spotted buying computers before heading over to their local Hot Topic store on Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood.
As they left the emo/punk apparel store, it seems Miss Hilton wasn’t too keen on Benji driving her car, and told him to get in the passenger seat.
Earlier this week, Paris cleared up rumors that she’d recently been denied for purchasing a puppy on her way to a photo shoot, and claimed that the entire report was erroneous.
Her blog entry said, “I wanted to let you know that I’ve been getting messages and reading stories about an incident that supposedly happened with me and a pet store: I was catching up on news last week only to read a story about me walking by some puppies for sale, and demanding that I be given a Yorkie puppy to be an accessory for a photo shoot. These stories have gotten out of control and I want to clear some things up.”
She continued, “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. Puppies are not accessories or toys and I love my own pets dearly—I treat them as if they were my children. 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 and clear things up, especially with my fans.”
Paris Pooh-Poohs Rover Rumors
Well, it certainly seemed plausible, given Paris Hilton’s track record with pets.
Nevertheless, the heiress is now barking back at recent reports claiming she was prevented from purchasing a pooch.
“I was catching up on news last week, only to read a story about me walking by some puppies for sale and demanding that I be given a Yorkie puppy to be an accessory for a photo shoot,” Paris wrote Monday on her MySpace blog.
“I wasn’t looking for a new pet. I wasn’t even at a photo shoot that day,” she clarifies, before quickly pointing out: “Puppies are not accessories or toys.”
So then Tinkerbell is just a guard dog. Got it.
Birkhead Snags Anna Nicole’s Undies for Dannielynn
Most people wouldn’t want to picture their mothers in lingerie. But if your mom was Anna Nicole Smith, a mental picture is only the beginning.
Baby daddy Larry Birkhead is looking forward to showing 1-year-old Dannielynn the lingerie he purchased at a celebrity auction on Saturday night, a pink bustier (bought for $1,800) and white negligee (bought for $1,000) once worn by the late model for a Playboy photo shoot.
Smith’s onetime boyfriend said he wants to make sure the young heiress has something to remember her mom by. He hopes the sexy undergarments will help Dannielynn understand her mother’s life storyone day.
“You know, it’s not something I can show today, but something down the road,” he said. “It’s not going to be in any bedtime stories anytime soon.”
Smith died on Feb. 8, 2007, in Florida of an accidental overdose of prescription medications.
The auction was held at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. Other items sold include candid footage of Marilyn Monroe on the set of her last completed film, which fetched $60,000, and an original King Kong French film poster that sold for $40,625.

Showing off her ageless beauty, Heidi Klum treated the sidewalk like a catwalk while stepping outside of her NYC apartment on Monday morning (June 16).
Dressed to the nines in a beautiful white dress, electric red lipstick, and black heels, the Victoria’s Secret Angel looked as if she had just stepped out of the page of a fashion magazine.
While out, Miss Klum also revealed a mysterious tattoo on her right arm as she strolled down the street - whether she was temporarily painted for a photo shoot or maintaining her youth with an edgy new tattoo, the supermodel and mother of three definitely looked on top of her game.
In related news, Klum, who was recently named Forbes’s 78th most powerful celebrity, is also readying for the Season five kickoff of her hit show Project Runway, which airs starting July 16th at 9PM ET on Bravo.
