Paris Hilton throws tantrum in pet store
Socialite Paris Hilton went “ballistic” when a pet shop worker refused to sell her a puppy.
The hotel heiress was on her way to a photo shoot when she called in at The Puppy Store on Los Angeles’ Melrose Avenue and tried to buy a Yorkshire Terrier.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: “Paris wanted a puppy in the picture with her so it would look cuter. She tried to buy a Yorkie but the employee refused to sell it to her, saying it was clearly an impulse buy.
“Paris went ballistic and started screaming, 'I love my puppies! I want my baby!' However, they still wouldn’t sell her the animal.”
The store had no comment on the incident.
This is not the first time Paris’ animals have got her into trouble.
In 2005, she angered California's animal authorities when she bought a kinkajou during a trip to Las Vegas.
The 26-year-old star was eventually forced to give up the racoon-like pet, which she named Baby Luv, after it was deemed to be illegal to own as a pet.
The same year, Paris was also allegedly forced to return a baby kangaroo after having it flown to the US from Queensland, Australia.

Dresden Doll holds Pops in Palmer hand
It took nerve. And a lot of talent. Lucky for the audience, Amanda Palmer’s got plenty of both.
The Boston Pops’ EdgeFest got a little edgier last night as Keith Lockhart’s summertime band got behind the Dresden Dolls vocalist, who blew the roof off Symphony Hall with a triumphant set that showcased the new, the old and the completely unexpected.
Making a grand entrance from a side door spiced things up before she even opened her mouth. Moving up the aisle as she sang the Dolls’ “Missed Me,” the tune’s old-world Romanian feel accented by tambourine and fiddle.
Palmer radiated confidence, dressed in an elegant goth ensemble that included a fantastic lavender corset and one of her trademark ruffled dresses (all train, not much in front). And her flexible vocals indicated she’s fully recovered from the vocal node surgery that temporarily silenced her a few months ago.
“This is awesome,” Palmer enthused before launching into “Astronaut” at the piano, the first of a handful of new songs from her forthcoming solo CD, “Who Killed Amanda Palmer?,” due in September.
Of the newer selections, “Point of It All” worked exceptionally well, and the orchestra’s warm, melancholic swells kept Palmer’s piano and vocal anchored.
For “Had to Drive,” she was joined by members of the Tanglewood Festival Chorus (including her father), and the Columbine-inspired “Strength Through Music” found her hitting emotional and vocal highs as a procession of white-faced ghosts entered the hall, eventually falling to the floor in slow motion.
She filled out the set with random choices. Ben Folds’ “Brick” provided the rare opportunity to hear Palmer sing something with an obvious pop hook; Folds, by the way, produced the upcoming CD.
And “Coin Operated Boy” featured an amusing standoff with Lockhart that momentarily landed Palmer in the conductor’s spot, while Dresden Dolls partner Brian Viglione turned up in top hat and tails for “What A Wonderful World.”
Throughout, Palmer and the Pops managed to complement each other and remain respectful of one another’s musical boundaries. And to have done it with a mix of mostly new material and first-run covers attests to Palmer’s command as a performer - not that we didn’t think she had it in her.

Anne Hathaway - Hathaways Ex Slams Attacks On Shady Past
LATEST: Actress ANNE HATHAWAY's businessman ex-boyfriend RAFFAELLO FOLLIERI has hit out at reports their split was caused by his controversial business dealings.
Hathaway reportedly dumped her longterm lover at the weekend (14-15Jun08), fearing his headline-grabbing antics could sabotage her burgeoning career.
The Get Smart star had previously stood by her man throughout their four-year relationship, during which Follieri has been caught up in a host of scandals - most recently last week (ends13Jun08), when it was revealed the children's charity he runs was under investigation by New York authorities.
Follieri was also arrested earlier this year (08) for passing a bad cheque and was sued by a former business partner in 2007.
But his spokesperson insists the Italian businessman is "angered" by "repeated mischaracterisations" of his breakup with Hathaway - because the split was amicable.
The rep tells the New York Post, "It is worth noting, as you continue to attempt to scandalise a respected businessman and philanthropist, that the Follieri Foundation has vaccinated hundreds of children in Nicaragua and Honduras to date, in addition to recently rebuilding an orphanage in Brazil."

Aniston's Rep Denies Connelly Magazine Bust-up Rumours
Jennifer Aniston's publicist has been quick to kill reports the actress has fallen out with Hulk star Jennifer Connelly. According to U.S. magazine reports, Aniston wanted to keep her He's Just Not That Into You co-star Connelly from appearing on the cover of an upcoming issue of Marie Claire magazine. But Aniston's representative insists the rumour is "absolutely absurd," adding, "There is no drama whatsoever." The spokesperson tells Us Weekly magazine, "Marie Claire wanted Jennifer alone. It was our idea to make it a group cover. "The magazine only wanted to put three of them (actresses) on the cover, and definitely wanted Drew Barrymore. "We recommended Ginnifer Goodwin because she is basically the lead role in the film... Jennifer got along great with Jennifer Connelly."
