"Mom, Dad, I love you! Please don't sell me to Paris Hilton!"

 

Socialite PARIS HILTON was turned away from a pet store in Los Angeles at the weekend (14-15Jun08) after employees refused to let her buy a puppy - because she reportedly just wanted the pooch to accompany her in a photoshoot. The hotel heiress was on her way to a photoshoot when she stopped at The Puppy Store on Melrose Avenue to buy a Yorkie. But she was banned from doing so by one of the store workers because they saw it as "an impulse buy". An insider tells the New York Post's gossip column Page Six, "(She) wanted a puppy in the picture with her so it would look cuter." And when she was knocked back, puppy-loving Hilton allegedly went "ballistic". The source adds, "She started screaming, 'I love my puppies! I want my baby!'"

BI, BI, GISELLE!! CRISS ANGEL FINDS A NEW GIRLFRIEND! WILL GISELLE?

 

 It would appear that Giselle "I'm Bi! Get Over it!" Diaz is no longer the girlfriend of illusionist Criss Angel. Thevegaseye.com has learned that Angel is now back with a woman named Sandra, who he was spotted with attending the Ted Nugent concert at The House of Blues. They apparently dated for a short time in early '08. 

 

The reunited couple was spotted  backstage being escorted into a meet-and-greet with Mr. Nugent.  Angel introduced Ted and his family to his "girlfriend Sandra". (Mr. Angel appeared to be kind of snooty to anyone who wasn't a celebrity. Does that help his career?.) Angel was also spotted making out with Sandra  last week while exiting his Lamborghini. When asked where Giselle was, a source tells us, Mr. Angel responded he and she were no longer an item. Giselle, meanwhile, continued to consider Mr. Angel as her boyfriend -- at least on her MySpace page. Pictures of Giselle making out with another woman at a local club caused quite a stir when spotted on thevegaseye.com last week.  But on her MySpace page,  (if this version hasn't been phished like the one before it)  Giselle has posted one  main message for  Mr. Angel: "Criss- I love you, no matter what anybody else says about us, remember that!"

 

Guess Mr. Angel can make his HEART disappear, too. Stay tuned, we should have more info up on-line soon.

 

 

MICHAEL JACKSON HOVERS NEAR VEGAS

 

As we at thevegaseye.com told you earlier, Michael Jackson may be next to follow the well-worn trail of pop star footsteps that leads to the Las Vegas strip, where Celine Dion, Elton John and others have taken up residence at various times. Mr. Jackson, who has had a seemingly endless series of financial troubles over the past few years, including a recent threat of foreclosure at his Neverland Ranch in California, is considering a long term Las Vegas engagement as part of a plan to repay a $23 million debt to Colony Capital, the private equity group that recently bought the loan on Neverland, Reuters reported. Colony owns the Las Vegas Hilton, and is a major shareholder in the Station Casinos chain. There is no deal yet and the possible Las Vegas engagement is one of several repayment options Mr. Jackson and Colony are considering. Mr. Jackson, who was acquitted of child molestation charges in 2005, has been reclusive ever since (O.K., before too), living in Ireland, Dubai and Bahrain at various times. He is now reportedly living in Pahrump, Nev., about 60 miles from Las Vegas.
