Hilton blasts Dubai nightclub scam

Paris Hilton has accused a Dubai nightclub of "tricking" people after it claimed that she would make a public appearance there.

The celebrity, who is in the Middle Eastern state to film a new TV series, warned people against buying tickets to the venue and insisted that she had no plans to attend the night.

"Some club in Dubai named Bed is falsely advertising everywhere here that I am doing a club appearance at their club tonight. I just want everyone to know that this is not true. I have no idea about this and it is wrong of them to lie to everyone and pretend I am going there," she wrote on her blog.

"I will be doing appearances during my stay here, but they are booked through my agents. So don't believe these people, I am not going to this club and never approved this appearance.

"It just really annoys me that a club will use my name without my permission and without paying my rate and then trick a bunch of people into going to their club. It's not right and I am sick of people getting away with it."

In an earlier blog, Hilton claimed that she had received an "official welcome" in the Islamic state.
