Nicole Richie gives Tori Spelling to Paris Hilton (and hurts Tori's feelings)

You can't really blame Tori Spelling for being a little hurt that Nicole Richie named a rat after her. Then again, if Nicole wants to name a rat after us, that's just fine.

Some time ago, Nicole gave Tori Spelling (the rat) to Paris Hilton, and Paris loved it.

As for Tori, Nicole says she could tell Tori was hurt by the fact the rat was named after her, but she needn't have worried. Says Nicole, "I actually own six rats, and what she didn't know then was that I've named each after a 'Beverly Hills 90210' character like Shannen Doherty and Luke Perry."

(Note to Nicole, Tori, Shannen, and Luke were the actors, not the characters, on "90210.")
