Paris Hilton is reportedly in trouble after a shoe company alleged that she had copied their design for her own line of footwear.

Executives at New York-based firm Gwyneth Shoes are suing Hilton for trademark and patent infringement, according to documents filed last week, reports dailsystar.com

Hilton has been accused of stealing the idea to include a heart-shaped pad on her heels' insoles, a design the brand's bosses claim they filed to patent in 2007.

The heiress released the range in question in February 2008.

Now attorneys for Gwyneth Shoes are demanding that Hilton must hand over every pair of shoes that feature the pink heart.

They finally caught that big group of kids who were robbing celebrities' homes, but all trouble is not over for celebrities. Paris Hilton may be resting easy now that her thief has been caught, but sister Nicky Hilton just had her house robbed!

I can't help but wonder if this thief is part of the original group and somehow got away. Or if it's a copycat thief. I mean, that group of kids really showed everyone how easy it is to rob celebrities' houses. It's got to be putting ideas into everyone's heads!

Paris Hilton was extremely distraught by her sister's break-in. She reported it on Twitter, "Her house just got robbed. So messed up. I HATE people who steal! It's so wrong! I hope they catch whoever did this! There has been so many robberies lately. So scary!"

Yes, Paris, we hate people who steal too. Paris was pretty annoyed that it took the cops so long to get to Nicky's house too.

Poor Nicky had her laptop and Lalique crystal collection stolen. That really sucks, but we're pretty sure she'll be able to replace them without too much of a problem! And at least her cats were unharmed. Paris reported,

"The cops finally just got to Nicky's house. She thought her cats escaped in the robbery but she just found them under the bed. Thank God."

Hopefully this thief or thieves will be caught soon and Hollywood can rest. But until then, celebs should make sure their doors are locked and their houses are secure.

Animal rescue centres in the San Francisco area are calling it the "Paris Hilton syndrome", and they are not talking about the latest hair style or taste in glitzy clothes.

They are referring to chihuahuas, those tiny, wiry, anxious little dogs who the hotel heiress helped to turn into a fashion accessory, as de rigueur as the Prada handbag you pop them into.

Over the past year animal rescue workers have noticed the number of abandoned pooches rise steadily and a third of the dogs in shelters are now said to be chihuahuas. In some centres, the proportion has already reached the halfway mark.

The most distressing statistic is that the diminutive dogs with the big watery eyes have now overtaken their antithesis - pit bulls - as the most commonly abandoned breed.

"All the shelters in California are seeing an upswing in chihuahua impounds," a spokeswoman for the San Francisco animal care and control department told the Los Angeles Times. "It's been a slow and steady climb."

Across America, numbers are rising too, but rescue shelters put it down mainly to the dire economy. Lynnie Bunten, who heads rescue services for the Chihuahua Club of America, said they had been seeing a wave over the past year which she put down to people being forced to leave their homes and having to give up their dogs in the process.

In California, though, the trend is particularly pronounced, and dog experts believe that is at least in part due to the impact of Hollywood and celebrity combined.

It began, they say, with Legally Blonde, the 2001 film in which Reese Witherspoon strutted her stuff with the aide of her faithful companion, a chihuahua called Bruiser.

Then there was Gidget, who appeared in a range of Taco Bell advertisements. And of course Paris Hilton's Tinkerbell, who she would dress up in suits to match her own and parade in front of her reality TV series.

For those who care about the breed, such as Bunten, the 2008 Disney film Beverly Hills Chihuahua was actually a benign influence as it stressed in the plot the need to care for the dogs. Several members of the film crew donated to the Chihuahua Club to help surrendered animals.

But the overall effect of the spotlight falling on the chihuahua has been a drastic oversupply, as unscrupulous breeders rushed to fill what they perceived as insatiable demand. In the end, though, Paris Hilton's grip on the public imagination seems to have had its limit, leaving thousands of the poor pooches unloved and abandoned.

According to TMZ.com, Los Angeles police while driving through the neighbourhood recently observed that the front gate of the Hilton house was left ajar.

Hilton's publicist Dawn Miller told People: "Paris went to the police station last night to retrieve her stolen belongings. She didn't get everything but fortunately most of her jewellery was returned. She is really pleased and thankful to the LAPD for their help."
