Paris and Tinkerbelle Reunited

Paris Hilton has reason to breathe a sigh of relief, as her precious pup Tinkerbelle is home safe after being missing for nearly a week.

The socialite/reality star reportedly put up numerous missing signs throughout West Hollywood, and even offered a reward of up to $5,000 for the teacup chihuahua's safe return. Although Hilton's publicist did not offer details as to where Tinkerbelle was or how she was found, a brief statement was issued saying the pampered pet was found safe.

Tinkerbelle has become somewhat of a celebrity in her own right, making appearances on Hilton's reality show "The Simple Life", as well as working the red carpet in designer doggie duds with her famous mom. She and Hilton also posed together recently on the cover of "Modern Dog" magazine.

The Tinkerbelle incident is just the latest in a string of headline grabbing episodes involving Paris Hilton this summer. The home she shares with newlywed sister Nicky was recently broken into, and news of her break up with boyfriend Nick Carter exploded amidst rumors he physically abused her.

The hotel heiress has managed to keep busy through all the media attention. She is set to begin working on her latest project, the film "Pledge This", sometime this month. She is also preparing for the release of her first album, which is due out this fall.
