Paris Hilton’s dogs beg for euthanasia

Hiltondogs Contrary to Internet rumors, 's dogs aren't dead. But they wish they were!

Dateline has confirmed that two of 's dogs were not eaten by coyotes, despite reports on several disreputable websites that they were. However, they did go missing, and it turns out they were begging to be euthanized.

The rumors started, sources, say after Hilton threatened to feed two of her 17 dogs to coyotes when they were caught running away to a nearby's veterinarian's office and making begging noises in the room where he performs euthanasia on terminally ill animals.

Experts say it's a rare but not unprecedented act for the pets of celebrities.

"Animals in desperate situations can sometimes learn to communicate their needs in very intelligent ways," said Barry Gordonson, professor of star veterinary medicine at USC. "For years, researchers thought 's chimp Bubbles couldn't learn sign language because he kept saying 'kill me' over and over. Now we know differently."

Neither of the two dogs begging for suicide is believed to have been Hilton's beloved Tinkerbell. Sources said the famous chihuahua has actually been brain dead for two years.

Maked his half century with release of ‘The King Of Pop’



Having marked his half century on Friday with the release of The King Of Pop, a new collection of his chart toppers, is taking a radically new tack with his next venture. The singer has teamed up with close pal David Gest to record tracks based on the work of 18th-century Scottish poet Robbie Burns.

David, a former I'm A star… contestant and Liza Minnelli's ex-, has revealed he and the Thriller star have given a 21st-century spin to some of the celebrated bard's verses, putting the likes of We Did Ae Fond Kiss and Tom O'Shanter to contemporary .

"Our favourite poet in the world is Robbie Burns," he explains. "We turned his work into show tunes; it's beautiful."

Although they've already laid down the tracks it's not known whether the pair plan on releasing the result.

Black celebrities on death watch

Deathwatch From to , black celebrities are on a so-called " watch" after the passing of comedian Bernie Mac and Singer Issac Hayes.  According to experts, these deaths always come in threes and black celebrities have been warned that one of them will die next.  Some have speculated that could be next on the list, but because of confusion over his current racial status, the singer has been disqualified.  Betting has been heavy in Las Vegas. Leading the pack in the betting is comedian Nipsey Russell, but he was also disqualified due to the fact that he died in 2005. Former "Good Times" star Jimmie Walker contacted Dateline this afternoon to correct a previous story that he had died shortly after "Good Times" went off the air. At this time, we're still trying to confirm Walker's current living status.  Rapper 50 Cent was shot another 14 times over the weekend, but again, he survived his 76th shooting attack.
