Cat Fight Over Dead Heiress' Dogs

Tila Tequila, Nicky Hilton argue over Johnson's pooches.

Civility went to the dogs when Nicky Hilton and Bijou Phillips showed up at reality star Tila Tequila's house to retrieve the pooches of their friend, the late Johnson & Johnson heiress Casey Johnson. Apparently, Tequila, who had been engaged to Johnson, refused to open the door when Hilton and Phillips came for the two pooches and charged that the pair intended to put the dogs to sleep "to bury with Casey," an allegation a family spokesman flatly denied. Tequila reportedly called the police when Johnson's friends showed up, although an unnamed insider said "they had set this up with Tila's assistant." Tequila said that she flipped out because she didn't know who was banging on her door, adding that the death of Johson had been difficult for her "because it's all of them against me." In the end, Hilton and Phillips removed 18-year-old toy poodle Zoe and a Yorkie from the house, along with a rack of Johnson's clothes, including several fur coats, and insulin Johnson took for diabetes.
