Jetsetting celebutard Paris Hilton is reportedly trembling behind a security ring of steel after a "secret recording device" was discovered in her deluxe Dubai hotel suite.

Hilton, as any self-respecting El Reg reader knows, is in the sun-kissed Arab emirate to film My New Best Friend Forever. According to the Daily Express, the Mother Teresa of Rwandan war children "flew into a rage" when bodyguards unearthed the hidden kit.

The informant added: "Everyone she has come into contact with during her stay in Dubai has been fantastic and gracious. We’ve been told there are some quarters where there is anti-American feeling."

That some Arabs are not kindly disposed to Americans will doubtless come as a terrible shock to Hilton, who's gained international fame as a roving ambassador for all that's laudable in US society.

However, al-Qaeda will certainly gain considerable propaganda benefit from its illicit footage of our Paris lounging on an empress-sized bed watching naked slave girls feed honey-glazed figs to her chihuahua while panic-stricken lackeys attempt to get Cristiano Ronaldo on the phone. ®
