Paris Hilton was on her way to a photo shoot last weekend when she up and decided she wanted a puppy to “make it look cuter.” However, the Melrose Avenue pet store she solicited had different ideas. According to Page Six

Hilton tried to buy a Yorkie but was rebuffed by an employee. Hilton, who has a menagerie of neglected animals, went “ballistic. She started screaming, ‘I love my puppies! I want my baby!’ ” - but to no avail.

The employ did suggest another way to make the shoot a little cuter. “Maybe if you were trapped inside a flaming car barreling over a cliff full of crocodiles and napalm,” said one. “Oh, and AIDS. Definitely something with AIDS,” added another. “What about face cancer?” Unfortunately, none of those things were available at the puppy store, but everyone there agreed it was a great idea.
