In these times of credit crunch and global recession it's refreshing to see idiots with more money than brain cells contributing to the economy. The fluffy dog economy, that it. Doug Reinhardt holds the dubious double distinction of being rich and idiotic enough to be Paris Hilton's new boyfriend, and he's just spent $10,000 on a dog. Yes, he's bought her a new pooch.

Life and Style magazine report that Reinhardt is so besotted by his new partner that he's splashing obscene amount of cash on vulgar fripperies to make Paris feel special. He'll be needing a lot more money.

"Doug bought Paris a $10,000 teacup Pomeranian when they were in Japan recently, and for Valentine's Day, he bought her an Andy Warhol print of Marilyn Monroe."

Isn't buying a work of art for Paris Hilton akin to showing a dog a card trick? It seems clear that Doug only has eyes for Paris, but sadly she only has one eye for him. The other one spins around it's socket in a frenzy.
