Heiress Paris groomer rumor

parishilton_07.jpg 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.

The last thing Paris should do is anything regarding animals

There is also the unpleasant issue of the puppy mills that her dogs came from.

About Jill Rosen
Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
