Paris Hilton Bitten by Pet Kinkajou

There are reports that Paris Hilton went to a hospital to get treatment for a bite she received from her pet Kinkajou. What seems a bit odd about this is that reports from months ago indicated Paris was forced to give up her exotic pet because owning it was against the law in California.

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.

Supposedly Paris was goofing around with her pet when "Baby Luv" got a little over-excited and nipped at Paris. The incident happened at 3 AM, and we're sure Paris wasn't the least bit altered at the time the accident occurred.

Said Paris' publicist: "I don't view kinkajous as aggressive animals. The same kind of thing could have occurred with a German Shepherd."

Personally, we suspect Nicole Richie secretly replaced Baby Luv with a radio-controlled Kinkajou impostor, but we have no evidence.
