Just a snippet for all you Paris Hilton fans.

Most of page three in this morning’s edition of America’s Newspaper of Record is given over to the news that Paris has a new pet — a kinkajou! (“A nocturnal rain forest mammal found in Central and South America.” Looks like a cross between a rat and a pig.)

” A few years ago, her Chihuahua, Tinkerbell, was top dog, but when the tiny canine got old, Paris bought another Chihuahua she called Cinderella. Then she bought home a ferret.”

And they say it’s a slow news month!
