Paris Hilton rep says star is drug free

A representative for Paris Hilton has hit back at suggestions that a photograph of the heiress with a possible white substance in her nostril means that she is a cocaine user.

"They asked me if Paris was using cocaine," Elliot Mintz told IMDB in relation to the New York Post picture. "I explained that she does not use narcotics. They asked what the substance could have been. I explained that I was not there... so I offered some possible explanations."

He added that Hilton "shall reserve all of her legal options" and that suing the newspaper is a possibility.
