Free Miniature Pigs for Celebs?

There is no doubt that celebrities live the glamorous life. Sure, fame can cause you to lose your dignity, sanity and any reasonable concept of how many bedrooms one could possibly need. On the flip side, you do get tons of free stuff. And who wants to say no to free stuff? Especially if it is an adorable micro pet.

At last month's Golden Globes ceremony, the swag -- aka the free stuff -- was flowing as usual. Except that amidst the fancy clothes, sparkly jewelry, decadent spa treatments and more, celebs were being gifted with those cute little micro pigs everyone's been clamoring for -- and concerned about -- since Paris Hilton trotted out her own squealing piglet.

GBK, a luxury lifestyle gifting and special events company, included in its Golden Globes swag some lovely truffle salt, truffle oil and oh, yes, a certificate from Patty's Royal Dandie Miniature Pet Pig farm for a free pig -- valued at $5,000. New owners would be required to complete a one-hour course (a whole hour!) on caring for the squiggly piggly (which can range in size from 19 to 39 pounds depending on the type of pig) and then the animal would be hand delivered to the celeb.

While some think micro-pigs are too high maintenance for pets, Paris Hilton simply keeps her pig in a blanket... in her bed. The heiress revealed that she and her boyfriend, Doug Reinhardt, love to cuddle up with her mini pig in bed, according to the UK's Daily Mail.

"Doug and I will be lying in bed, watching DVDs, and she'll just lie there between us," she told Hello! magazine when she showed off her tiny pig wrapped in a pink blanket during a Christmas photo shoot.

Along with Victoria Beckham, who owns two of the must-have pigs, Hilton helped fuel the micro-pig craze when she purchased Miss Piglette. Hilton's new BFF, who will grow up to be just 14 inches, is the latest addition to the 28-year-old's pack of 13 pets.

While Hilton's pricey piggy might not have her own designer clothes or live in a mini mansion like Hilton's dogs, she seems perfectly content cuddling in the socialite's bed.

The hotel heiress and reality star is well-known for her love of diminutive dogs, but last week Paris Hilton decided to explore her feline side.

She broke the news of her kitten adoption on Twitter July 29, tweeting, "I adopted the cutest kitten today. I named her Princess Annabelle. She is so adorable and sweet!" Hilton urged others to contact Laurel Pet Hospital in West Hollywood, California, where she adopted the adorable kitty. "There's other kittens there that are in need of homes," she tweeted.

Apparently, people listened. Dr. Meredith Rettinger, a veterinarian at Laurel Pet Hospital told Paw Nation that the practice, which also rescues animals, has since been getting "a lot of calls" from potential adopters. "Some of the people say that they would never have thought about adopting a mixed-breed cat, and that they've only had purebreds," Dr. Rettinger told Paw Nation. But seeing Hilton adopt a Himalayan-mix cat changed their minds.

Ever wonder what it's like to be a pet of the rich and famous? For Dolce, Marilyn Monroe, Harajuku Bitch, Prince, Tinkerbell and nine other dogs, it's all about living in luxury. The pups' socialite-owner Paris Hilton recently posted pictures of their Beverly Hills 'Mini Doggie Mansion' on her Twitter page.

"I may have spoiled them a little too much. But how can I not? Just look at those sweet lil' faces, they deserve to be treated like my lil' prince and princesses :) I love my babies," Paris tweeted.

The poolside kennel is a mini replica of her mansion filled with tiny furniture pieces, a spiral staircase, a black chandelier, a balcony, and air conditioning, for those hot summer days.

True to her heiress fashion, Paris also created a designer wardrobe and 'Chewy Vuitton' beds for her pooches.

We can only wonder when they'll get their own mini pink Bentleys.

Is Paris Hilton experiencing a midlife pet crisis? It seems her Chihuahua, Tinkerbell, has been replaced by a younger, cuter model. Paris lives the "Simple Life," but can't accomplish simple tasks, like properly filling her gas tank at this gas station on Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles, CA. Busy posing with her newest yapping accessory, she carelessly leaves the gas hose on the ground. Her car is filled with fuel, but it seems her head is filled with air. Onward to a photo shoot at Ben K. Tay Productions she went without a care in the world.

Paris Hilton's $10,000 Teacup Pomeranian: Gift From Boyfriend Doug Reinhardt

by Helena Sung (Subscribe to Helena Sung's posts): Apr 1st 2009 2:00PM Filed Under: Dogs, Celebrity Pets

Diamonds may be a girl's best friend, but for Paris Hilton, it just might be diamonds and doggies. The socialite heiress is notorious for her penchant for petite pooches, admitting to Ellen Degeneres in 2008 that she had 17 dogs.

And now, Paris has an 18th: a tiny teacup Pomeranian that was a birthday gift from a new boyfriend and reportedly cost an eye-popping $10,000.

Appearing on the Ellen Degeneres Show on March 9, 2009, Paris was coy about whether she was single or in a relationship before finally admitting that she was dating someone named "Doug." That would be Doug Reinhardt, a baseball player most notable for appearing on the fourth season of MTV's "The Hills" reality show.

"We just got back from Tokyo," Paris told Ellen. "It was a lot of fun. He bought me a puppy."

"Another puppy?" Ellen gasped. "Oh my God, what kind of puppy did he get you?"

"A tiny teacup Pomeranian. It's the cutest dog I've ever seen in my life," Paris gushed, sounding like a proud mama. "It's literally like this [cupping her hands together] teeny. I love him."

"We were in Tokyo at a pet store and we just saw it and fell in love," Paris continued.
