Paris has to get rid of her monkey

Paris Hilton is being ordered to give up her pet monkey - after illegally smuggling it across the state line. The sexy heiress picked up the exotic kinkajou - a rare relation of the racoon - on a recent trip to Las Vegas. But the primate pet - named Baby Luv - is illegal in Paris' hometown of Los Angeles and the authorities are demanding she return it. A spokesman for the California Department for Fish and Game explained: "We'll send them a letter to let them know we're aware they have a restricted species." Lisa Lange of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals added: "It seems Paris thinks animals are as disposable as friends and fiancés." But Baby Luv has already reaped revenge on Paris - after attacking her while out shopping earlier this week. According to reports, the monkey bit Paris and clawed at her face as she entered Los Angeles designer boutique Agent Provocateur with the simian on her shoulder. Luckily, the 'Simple Life' star managed to pull the monkey away before hooking Baby Luv's leash onto a cabinet so she could shop in peace. Paris then spent over US$4,000 on designer bras, panties and a kinky bullwhip, according to America's New York Post newspaper. [TeenToday]
