British tabloids are reporting (and that phrase doesn't exactly mean you can bank on it) that Paris Hilton will star in a new reality show in which she will manage a grooming salon for dogs.

The Sunday Star, the online celebrity site Showbiz Spy, and countless celebrity blogs are claiming that Paris has reportedly signed a deal with Britain's Living TV  to star in Paris' Pooches. The 27-year-old socialite will manage a beauty parlor for dogs on Bond Street in London, the paper reported.

The Star quoted an anonymous source as saying, "The shop is perfect for Paris. It's a subject she's passionate about."

If true, the show would mark the second dog grooming reality show to recently hit the airwaves. Groomer Has It premiered earlier this month on Animal Planet.

Hilton, you'll recall, was recently investigated by Los Angeles authorities after claiming (on the Ellen show) to have 17 dogs -- 14 more than city laws allow. And she's been roundly criticized by animal rights groups for using her pets as fashion accessories.

She once claimed to have 600 pets in her various homes including a Rottweiler dog, a bobcat and a Lhasa Aspo.
