Paris Hilton set an example for potential pet owners recently when she urged her Twitter followers to adopt their next four legged friend.

“This Christmas if you’re thinking of getting a dog or cat, get one at your local animal shelter. Save a Life. Don’t Shop, Adopt.”

Especially pleasing is Hilton’s choice of words–getting and not giving a pet as a Christmas present.  The only time an animal should ever be gotten as a present is if the pet owner is rewarding him or herself.

Paris Hilton has launched another perfume, Tease, at My Studio in Hollywood. First glance looks as if Hilton is wearing fur, but Stylist reports the heiress was dressed in, “Chopard diamonds and outfitted in a white Herve Leger bandage dress, Louis Vuitton cream colored heels and jewel-encrusted clutch and a faux fur jacket.”

Lovely!

Was this one another Christmas present from mom?

Animal Planet is premiering a new docu-series about people who own one animal too many. Paris Hilton isn’t expected to be featured, but the series will take a look at the psychological motivations behind animal hoarding and will have the hoarders’ friends and family, psychologists, animal welfare experts and veterinarians to help the hoarder get to the root of the problem.

Is Paris Hilton to an animal rights activist as a prostitute is to recruiting nuns?

The hotel heiress was recently on a Dr. Phil episode about animals, sharing the story of two Cocker Spaniels who sadly are in need of a new home after their owner did not awake from surgery.

Although criticized by some activists for carrying too many hand bag breeds and in general, owning too many dogs, Hilton was honored by the Humane Society of the United States for her work with animal welfare.

And if she takes off those heels and trades the dress for spandex, she can throw a punch to that dog fighter Dr. Phil confronted.

“I kinda want to punch him in the face,” she says in the clip. “I think it’s disgusting and it’s wrong I don’t know how anyone can hurt an animal. I think people who do that are very sick in the head.”

People Pets is reporting the serial pet owner Paris Hilton has just announced on Twitter she has new pug puppy.

The heiress wrote, “What do you all think of my new Pug Puppy? He is so adorable and has such the cutest personality! Love him!”

Hilton has a history of gaining animal activists attention for her four legged additions, including the addition of a pig last fall.

Several years ago when she told Ellen DeGeneres she had 17 dogs, the LA police knocked on her dog.

California law states that only breeders are allowed to have more than 3 dogs per address.

But it turned out, none of the dogs were really living with her, instead they were in the care of her handlers.

Who really owns these pooches, anyway?

Hopefully, Paris’ people are giving the dogs just as much love, attention, and Twitter space as she would herself.

And fingers crossed she got the pug from a shelter instead of a breeder.

Months after losing her best four legged Maltipoo friend Daisy, Jessica Simpson is thinking of adopting another animal.

Simpson Tweeted that she’d like to own a pig.

“I’m thinking about getting a pet pig. Does this mean I’ll have to give up pork?”

Sounds like a fairly innocent statement.

Simpson’s love for her new pet might cause her to rethink eating many animals, including pigs.

But PETA isn’t satisfied and issued a statement to US magazine:

“Pigs, who are smarter than dogs and every bit as sensitive to pain and stress, don’t belong in Jessica’s stomach or carted around as her latest.”

Simpson’s pet move could place her in the ranks of another celebrity scorned by the animal rights group for her treatment of animals–Paris Hilton.

The hotel heiress bought “Princess Piglet” last fall.

If Simpson cuts bacon, ham and Spam from her diet, she may discover that meaty taste doesn’t have to involve saturated fat or slaughter.

Some girls are still eating meat, but real girls know when it’s time to at least go flexitarian.

Paris Hilton has gotten in trouble for her animal hoarding ways before.

Now she’s sparked bad attention again for the recent addition of a baby pig to her home.

During a recent Tweet, Paris said:

“http://twitpic.com/kuuwf – So excited for my new piglette to come home to me. I just picked out the cutest piggy from Patty at Royaldandie.com”

The pig, Paris named Miss Pigelette, is seen below.

According to TMZ, PETA has accused Paris of setting a “wretched example” by treating animals like they’re “as disposable as her friends and fiances.”

Ouch! That’s a little harsh.

We bet Paris has kept her pets longer than most of her boyfriends and fiances.

“The Chihuahuas, ferrets, and kinkajous she’s paraded through her home in the past were not accessories, and pot-bellied pigs aren’t either,” PETA added.

Chantelle Houghton gained some extra fame by being a Paris Hilton lookalike, but looks are about where the similarities end.

The Celebrity Big Brother 2006 winner is now following a strict vegan diet, according to a friend, and wants to give other British veg gals like Heather Mills and Leona Lewis a run for their money by launching several lines of  items under her name.

“She’s a strict vegan and is going to launch a new range of food, a make-up range, a perfume and her own swimwear line.”

Go Chantelle.

We hope that not only will Chantelle’s food line be vegan, but she’ll remember to keep her perfume and make-up cruelty free and free from animal products too.

Chantelle is aiming for natural in several areas of her life, including ditching the fake hair, bronze tan, and after battling bulimia, now takes pride in what she calls her new beautiful and womanly figure.

Congratulations on the new and healthier you, Chantelle. Have a piece of vegan cake on us.
