Paris Hilton speaks about baby rumors

Paris Hilton has confirmed that she will indeed be hoping to have a child next year, but in this report, has also spoken about her love for pet monkeys and ferrets.

The hotel heiress insists that she doesn't want to "act dumb" anymore, despite going on to speak about her love for exotic animals.

Hilton, speaking to author Jackie Collins for October's Elle magazine, added: "I want kids next year, so I've got to get my body ready."

The star also revealed she made "an amazing lasagne" and spoke about her experience in prison. She said fellow inmates told her: "It's ridiculous you're in here. I'm in here for murder."
