Paris Hilton Bitten by Pet Kinkajou
2006-08-12
Paris Hilton got no love this week from her pet kinkajou Baby Luv — in fact, the racoon-like animal bit her. The heiress was not badly hurt but did visit a hospital emergency room to receive a tetanus shot, her publicist, Elliot Mintz, told The Associated Press on Friday. Hilton was frolicking with her exotic pet early Tuesday morning "the way some people play with their cats and dogs" when the animal became excited, Mintz said.
"So how'd ya get bit on the butt, Miss Hilton?"
"I was frolicking with my kinkajou."
"Yep. That'll do it every time."
"Baby Luv bit her. It's a superficial bite on her butt left arm," he said. Hilton, concerned that she was bleeding, called Mintz at 3 a.m., and he took her to the hospital.
"It's 3 a.m. and I can't sleep... Hmmm... I'm out of sleeping pills and the pool boy's gone home. I think I'll frolic with my kinkajou."
"She was seen by a doctor, who treated the wound, gave her a tetanus shot, cleaned the wound and applied something to it," Mintz said. The 25-year-old "Simple Life" star and her publicist left the hospital around 5:30 a.m.
"Remember, Paris: All publicity is good publicity."
"Yeah. Getting bit on the butt by a kinkajou's good publicity. That's why I pay you so much, Mintzy."
Mintz said Hilton's butt arm did not appear to be swollen the next day. Baby Luv was checked out by a veterinarian Wednesday. "I don't view kinkajous as aggressive animals. The same kind of thing could have occurred frolicking with a German Shepherd," Mintz said.

#16  Reminds me of the tale of an NFL player (via Dan Jenkins?), who got word back from his doctor that he had a raging dose of the clap. Thinking quick, he asked the doctor to have a shot ready for his wife when he brought her in.

Then he asked his wife to help him do a home project and "accidently" shot a staple into her hand.

"Oh, gee, honey! I'm sorry! We had better get you to the doctor to get a penicillin shot for that!"

#9  Toldja I'll be around now and then. But my posts are going to be on the low end of the intellectual scale. Unless something explodes near me, I'm not following the news.

#3  Jan,

You, of course, mean the poor kinkajou catching rabies (or something else) from that second-hand mattress of a skank.
