If you haven't heard or uttered the words "Paris Hilton", you just might be living under a rock. Or just lucky enough to live far enough away from a culture that is obsessed with guilty pleasures, like Paris Hilton gossip and reality TV.
She's the partying heiress of the affluent and filthy rich Hilton family, the daughter of Rick and Kathy Hilton who will one day leave her and her other siblings millions of dollars from the family business, the Hilton hotel chain. Have you been to one? They're pretty nice...
They've been spotted everywhere, the streets of Hollywood, the beaches of Miami and the hotels of New York and London. Have you noticed the global spurt of celebrities' fascination (or possibly obsession?) with Chihuahuas? At first it was thought to simply be a phase; either it's a short phase, or the Chihuahuadom in Hollywood has begun for the long haul.
Who own these dogs? The list is endless, but here are some of the celebrity biggies: Paris Hilton's Chihuahua, Tinkerbell; Britney Spear's Bit Bit and Lucky; Hilary' Duff's Lola; Scarlett Johansson's Maggie; Sandra Bullock's Chihuahua mix Poppy; and Demi Moore's Yorkie-Chihuahua mix, Louie.
