According to news at TMZ by way of Twitter, Paris Hilton has ordered a baby mini pot-bellied pig. 

Hilton, known as a socialite, heiress, media personality, model, singer, author and fashion designer has also had acting roles and appearances which include several films and TV shows - Zoolander, Wonderland, The Cat In The Hat, Nine Lives, Raising Helen, The Hillz, and House of Wax.

Hilton's role as Paige Edwards in House of Wax won her the Teen Choice Award for "Best Scream."

Hilton, once close friend to athlete Doug Reinhardt, will soon be adding a new family member as she has ordered a special line of miniature pig from a breeder in Oregon. The breeder will hand-deliver the piglet to Paris in 4-5 weeks. Princess Piglette is apparently the name chosen for her new nine week old piggy that is black, white and pink.

TMZ says that a rep for Hilton tells us,

Paris is thrilled! She is a major animal lover and is excited for the arrival of her new piglette."

Tinkerbell, Hilton's current pet pup, will have a new playmate, not sure that will work for either pup, pig or Paris ~ hope so!

Paris better watch out, she might end up like Michael Jackson and his chimp Bubbles, which he had to give away after it was grown.  Pot-bellied pigs can grow quite large - up to 300 pounds!!!

The pot-bellied pig is a breed of domesticated pig originating in Vietnam with fourteen sub-species. Considerably smaller than standard American or European farm pigs, most adult pot-bellied pigs become about the size of a medium- or large-breed dog, though their bodies are denser at a weight of 60 to 300 lb (teacup or tiny or mini pot-bellied pigs hopefully, if Paris is looking to raise a tiny pig, do not get as big).
