Paris Hilton had to go to the hospital after her monkey bit her

Paris Hilton’s monkey is tired of being an accessory to her bad style. He took a chunk out her arm, sending the ditzy heiress to the hospital to receive a tetanus shot.

Perhaps channeling the spirit of Nicole Richie, Paris Hilton’s pet kinkajou, Baby Luv, bit Paris on the arm early Tuesday morning while the two were playing. We repeat: PARIS’ KINKAJOU BIT HER ON THE ARM.

The wound was superficial and Paris spent a few hours at the hospital and received a tetanus shot.

Paris called her publicist, Elliot Mintz, at about 3AM Tuesday morning after the incident occurred. Mintz tells TMZ he drove her to the emergency room where she was seen by a doctor, treated and released. The whole ordeal took just a few hours.

In an odd bit of foreshadowing, an MTV special focused on Paris — that aired the same day of the incident — actually featured Baby Luv in a segment, during which the animal tried to bite her.

TMZ has a video of Paris holding the agitated kinkajou, Baby Luv, while describing the incident where she had to take a limo with all her animals in the back because the airline refused to transport them.

Paris’ publicist really earns his money if he’s going over to her house in the middle of the night to take her to the hospital. Doesn’t she have a friend or throwaway lover who could do that for her?

Maybe the monkey just wanted to do Paris a favor and keep her from going out in an outfit like this. She is seen in a satin top and pants like the kind you wear to bed while wearing a red belt across her ribs. At least her purse, belt, and shoes coordinate. WTF? Look at the people behind her – they’re totally making fun of her.
