Hilton talks monkeys, ferrets and kids

Paris Hilton has revealed her loves for her pet monkeys and ferrets - but also says she wants children "next year".

The heiress said she no longer wanted to "act dumb" but went onto explain how her exotic animals were what made her most happy.

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."
