Socialite Nicky Hilton has slammed reports she's suffering from an eating disorder.

The designer and hotel owner blames "unflattering" pictures taken of her for the new rumours.

Recent snaps of Hilton looking thin prompted speculation she is starving herself.

But, speaking at the launch of her fashion range in Los Angeles on Tuesday (11Mar08), Hilton insisted she is fine.

She says, "There's no truth to any starvation, eating disorders, rumours.

"I think the press has been printing a lot of pictures of me from unflattering angles. My friends see the pictures and they're like, 'Oh my god, are you OK?' And then they see me, and they're like 'Oh ... ' It's really not that interesting or true."
