Paris Hilton Denies Bugged Hotel Reports

Paris Hilton has taken to the Internet to deny her hotel room was bugged with a secret camera during her trip to Dubai.

According to Britain's Daily Express newspaper, the socialite was left shaken after her security team stumbled across a recording transmitter hidden in her exclusive Dubai suite.

The publication claimed the star - who is in the United Arab Emirates promoting her new reality show My New BFF - Dubai - had increased her security following the discovery.

But Hilton is astounded by the reports - and has used her Twitter.com page to tell fans the rumours are "dumb".

She writes, "Another rumour to clear up - my hotel room is not bugged with listening devices and hidden cameras, another Lie created by the media. Dumb."
