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.
