I have the feeling that there will be little interest in this story, but I find it hysterical and couldn’t resist. It dovetails nicely with Kaiser’s story about Gerard Butler’s pampered dog, too, because here’s another Hollywood player treating his dog nicer than the women he dates. (I didn’t do this story to copy Kaiser or anything, we just coincidentally have two dog stories today. Great minds!)

So Ryan Gosling has this big dog, George, that he adores and has been seen carrying around. He even brought his dog with him on the Jimmy Fallon show, where George was sporting a mohawk. (Really, you can see that here.) Ryan loves his dog so much that he’s brought him with him to yoga class. George of course disrupted everyone while they were trying to work out, probably by sniffing their butts when they were in the downward dog position. (yuck yuck!) Then George meandered over and peed in the corner, causing the instructor to order him out of the room. Ryan had the gall to bring George back another day to class though, where George was promptly banned. Bad dog!

Ryan Gosling… has been causing a ruckus in his West Hollywood yoga class by bringing along his beloved pooch George – who interrupts workouts by pestering people, barking and even marking his territory!

“Ryan is a great guy and everyone in class loves him, but they find it very disrespectful that he brings his dog,” revealed a gym insider. “Ryan put a mat next to him and attempted to get George to stay on it. But it only took about 30 seconds before George began walking around and disturbing people who were trying to concentrate on their workouts.

“The instructor finally asked Ryan to remove George from the room after the dog began relieving himself in the corner!”…

The worst part about the yoga fiasco, said the insider, is that…

“He actually tried to bring him to class again,” added the insider. “The instructor immediately told him George was not allowed back in class!”

I just love the image this puts in my head. It’s so absurd to bring a big dog to yoga class and for that dog to bug everyone and then go pee in the corner. It’s like a predictable scene from a romcom that still cracks you the hell up. I told my seven year old this story and we were laughing our asses off at it. If I were in that yoga class, though, I would be pissed off. Hopefully I wouldn’t be pissed on though. (Sorry I couldn’t resist!)

This makes me so mad! Charlie Sheen apparently used to have “custody” of two of his first wife, Denise Richards’, pug dogs. One of the dogs died from malnutrition shortly after Denise took him back, so she decided to keep hold of the other guy to make sure that he was ok. Charlie now wants the dog back as a kind of mascot on his crazy tour, but Denise isn’t letting the pug of her sight and Charlie is pissed. He’s been tweeting that Denise is a “traitor” and “loser wh*re.”

Denise is furious that Charlie Sheen is tweeting she’s a dog thief, and is telling friends Charlie is actually a dog abuser … this according to sources familiar with the situation.

Back when Charlie and Denise split, Charlie took custody of her 2 pugs so the kids could play with them when they visited him — which she had before they got married. Things were ok for a while, but after Charlie’s meltdown at the Plaza hotel in NYC, Denise started getting calls that the pugs were malnourished and neglected.

Things became so alarming, we’re told Denise went to Charlie’s and he gave her the dogs. Sadly, one of them died of malnutrition, but the other is ok.

Now Charlie wants the dog back, and sources say he just wants the pooch as a mascot on his tour bus.

As for Charlie’s tweet — “We must bombard with Warlock Napalm, that traitor and loser whore #DUH -neese POOR-ARD. A VILE KIDNAPPER AND NOW DOG THIEF. HATE.”

But Denise is steadfast … claiming Charlie can’t even take care of himself and she’s not giving up the pug.

[From TMZ]

That dog is at least 9 years old, since Denise was married to Charlie in 2002 and she’s said to have had the dogs before their marriage. A pugs average lifespan is about 13 years and that little guy doesn’t need to live out his days being neglected and having crack smoke blown in his face on Charlie’s bus. Charlie already killed the other dog!

It’s ripe that Charlie is finally lashing out at Denise. She’s been nothing but gracious about him publicly, and she had many chances to dish the dirt on him but has always taken the high road. Of course he’s turning on her the minute she decides to stand up to him on any issue whatsoever. Thank goodness she’s keeping her daughters far away from this creep.

So 50 cent has a lot of time on his hands and must be bored of talking smack about his rivals and tweeting hateful homophobic remarks. He’s started a Twitter account for his dog, and while I was prepared mock him my first impression was that it was sweet and funny and shows how much the guy loves his pooch. Then I saw these disturbing photos, which show it’s still the same old 50 with the same issues. The dog looks terrified! 50′s dog is called “Oprah Winfrey” (whom 50 blasted in 2006) and the Twitter account he’s set up is OprahTheDog.

This news comes via E! Online, which has a full recap of 50s tweets as the dog he alternately torments and loves. MTV has a quick overview of 50s tweets as Oprah the dog, which should suffice:

Yes, today we introduce you to one of Twitter’s newest users and the lady who has stolen our attention one update at a time this afternoon: 50 Cent’s dog, Oprah.

First of all, how incredibly awesome is it that 50 Cent even has a dog named Oprah? But perhaps more importantly, it’s extra amazing that 50 would go out of his way to give his pet a virtual voice. And she’s pretty active, too: In just 24 hours on Twitter, 50′s foul-mouthed pup has already revealed quite a lot to her more than 7,000 followers. To wit:

» She may have a broken leg and her owner is possibly responsible.

» She’d prefer a new owner.

» She’s not keen on doing tricks in exchange for treats.

» She doesn’t enjoy listening to 50′s music at full blast and doubts he’ll make another hit.

» She has been to the vet this morning (documented by two Twitpics).

» She relieved herself both before and after her vet visit.

Everything about these developments is entertaining. The fact that 50 has a dog named Oprah is magical, and the fact that not only does she tweet but she also doesn’t particularly like her owner is a truly amazing meta gag. The possibilities for future updates are endless, but we know 50, err, Oprah, will keep us entertained.

[From MTV]

50 tweets often on his main account and a quick scan shows that he’s usually bragging about how awesome and hardworking he is when he isn’t in a flamewar with someone. I guess one Twitter account wasn’t enough self expression and ego stroking for him.

Oprah is really cute and seems to be loved and well cared for when 50 isn’t using her as a prop to threaten with a knife. It’s clear that 50 needs some new hobbies other than tweeting. Maybe he should kill time in other ways, like gambling or playing violent video games.

It’s hard to know where to start with Paris Hilton. She admitted on Ellen Degeneres’ show in 2008 that she had 17 dogs, and explained that “they keep having babies and I feel bad to give them away.” When Ellen asked her why she didn’t have them fixed, she said “they all just got fixed,” but then admitted that two of them weren’t fixed when Ellen told her that she could tell she was lying. Paris recently bought all 20 rabbits from a pet store after she was appalled to learn that snake owners sometimes purchased them as food. She tweeted several photos of herself posing with her menagerie of bunnies, which she apparently set free in her backyard. She’s going to have a hell of a lot more than 20 rabbits if she doesn’t put them in individual hutches soon.

More pets for Paris.

The 29-year-old heiress has Twittered that she recently walked into a pet shot and was shocked to learn that several rabbits would become food for snakes.

“I had to save them,” she wrote. “I rescued 20 of them. They are now happy living in my backyard. They are all so happy, so nice to have changed their fate.”

Hilton’s playtime with her pets may soon be strained.

The heiress was recently charged with felony cocaine possession following her Aug. 28 arrest in Las Vegas. If convicted, she faces four years in prison.

[From US Weekly]

Just looking through Paris’ twitpics – she has countless dogs, several cats including a new kitten she just adopted, ferrets, hamsters, guinea pigs, something called a “miniature possum” and some kind of bird. I’m sure there’s more. She basically has a small zoo in her house and I hope she has people taking care of those creatures when she’s away. Many of you are hoping that Paris might be going away for some time, but that might not be the case. E! Online reports that she’s been offered a potential plea deal through which she could avoid jail time for her cocaine bust. I figured that was going to happen.

These are all recent photos from Paris’ Twitpic. She’s an animal hoarder.

There was a lot of drama yesterday when Nicky Hilton and Bijou Phillips showed up at Tila Tequila’s house to pick up her late fiance Casey Johnson’s dogs. Nick and Bijou were acting on behalf of the Johnson family, and also retrieved some clothing and bathroom items. Tila was devastated and called the police. The paparazzi filmed as Nicky and Bijou walked out of the house with the dogs. Tila followed braless in a white tank top crying that the dogs were going to be put down and buried with Casey, a ridiculous claim that Bijou denied. A police officer called to the scene said afterwards that he believed the dogs would be cared for by Nicky Hilton, not the Johnson family. As long as Nicky or Bijou keeps them and they don’t get added to Paris’ menagerie, they should be ok.

There’s a battle brewing among Casey Johnson’s closest friends.

Tila Tequila, aka the late heiress’s nominal fiancée, called police to her Los Angeles home today after longtime Johnson pals Nicky Hilton and Bijou Phillips showed up there to retrieve Johnson’s dogs and some belongings on behalf of her family.

But when Tequila refused, things got ugly.

Two LAPD squad cars arrived at the home after a call was placed around 2 p.m., according to department spokeswoman Officer Rosario Herrera. Herrera says there was a “verbal dispute.”

The officers quickly became referees and restored order. Tequila wheeled out a rack of clothing that included fur coats and a Christmas blanket. Both little dogs, who had been locked in a bedroom, were also handed over, as were some bathroom products and packages of insulin.

After the exchange, Tequila told the press, “They don’t care about the dogs. They are putting them to sleep to bury with Casey.” When asked if they were going to put down the animals, Phillips simply said, “No.”

Hilton first tried to get the dogs and duds back last night but was turned away by Tequila, who has apparently been caring for the canines since Johnson died Monday.

The younger Hilton wasn’t just making house calls last night. She held a memorial at her home attended by older sister Paris and other close friends and Johnson family members.

Needless to say, Tequila wasn’t invited.

[From E! Online]

Tila is a crazy attention-you-know-what but I don’t see why she couldn’t have kept the dogs. I would assume that the Johnson family is not fond of Tila and that they may see her as a user who enabled their daughter in her final days. Getting the dogs back from her may be their way of coping with the situation. We heard some harsh words from Casey’s friend Jasmine Lennard, the model that Casey robbed last month, calling Tila “a sick, sick girl” who “took advantage” of Casey. (In response Tila wrote a long venom-filled blog discrediting Jasmine. I couldn’t even read it.) The Johnsons haven’t said anything about Tila but you would imagine their sentiments are the same.

Meanwhile Casey’s adopted three year-old daughter will stay with Casey’s mom, who has been caring for the girl for over a year. The Huffington Post has a video of Casey taken in 2007 in which she talks about her then-pending adoption. She seems kind of detached and she has a flat affect throughout the video, like she’s bored with life. The way she talks about adoption makes it sound like she doesn’t fully understand the requirements of parenting. “My godmother Diandra Douglas adopted baby Imara from Kazakhstan and she’s the most beautiful baby I’ve ever seen. She’s blonde haired blue eyed looks just like Diandra, and I thought ‘Oh my gosh, this is what I’m going to do.’” Casey says that when she saw the photos of the baby she was going to adopt “I can say it was probably the best day of my life.”

In the video Casey talks about buying presents for the daughter she had yet to meet and said that the little girl would be well dressed but not spoiled. “She’s not going to get everything she wants.” When Casey passed she was deep in dept and owed over six figures to creditors. After her parents cut her off she couldn’t even pay the electric bill and probably couldn’t have cared for the little girl on her best day.

Of all the horrible, horrible things about Paris Hilton (and there are many from which to choose) the worst thing about her is her penchant for collecting animals. And I don’t mean she adopts a lot of unwanted dogs from the pound. Paris pays exorbitant amounts of money for trendy novelty pets which she discards as soon as they are no longer new and trendy to her.

There are tons of reports of Paris’ animal collecting – so many in fact that you might logically believe some of them are untrue. And that may be, but the thing is, she really has bought – or tried to buy – so many animals and done so many ridiculous things in regards to her animals, that it’s impossible to tell. And frankly because she is so incredibly stupid and selfish, I tend to assume the stories are true until proven otherwise. Boyfriend Doug Reinhardt bought her a a $10,000 Pomeranian in Japan. She honest for goodness tried to buy a cheetah. She’s owned a kinkajou and a monkey. The monkey was taken away by authorities because it bit her so many times. And she admitted on Ellen DeGeneres’ show that she has 17 dogs – because they keep having babies.

So it comes as absolutely no surprise that three days after the Daily Mail runs a story about the trendy new “it” pet, micro pigs (somehow the British micro pig is so much cuter a name than the American mini pig), it’s announced that Paris has purchased one of the pigs and will take possession soon. Not surprisingly, PETA has stepped in to chide Paris.

PETA has unleashed a brutal attack against Paris Hilton for buying a pet mini-pig recently, claiming she’s setting a “wretched example” by treating animals like they’re “as disposable as her friends and fiances .”

PETA says of Paris: “The Chihuahuas, ferrets, and kinkajous she’s paraded through her home in the past were not accessories, and pot-bellied pigs aren’t either.”

The good news: Paris told us she doesn’t think she’ll get swine flu because she doesn’t eat pork.

[From TMZ]

All I can say is, save your breath PETA. I know your heart is in the right place on this one, but Paris is a certifiable sociopath. At least according to the editor of Page Six, who I will forevermore be considered correct in all things, simply for saying this. Paris has been blamed for the epidemic of abandoned Chihuahuas, after she made them the trendy “it” pet without showing any responsibility towards them. In fact a little over a year ago the Puppy Store on Melrose Avenue refused to sell her a pooch. Yay! All I can say is more animal owners, breeders, and shelters should follow their lead. Animals are living, breathing creatures with a right to be treated decently. They are not a Tiffany bracelet. They poop. The have fur balls. You have to really love the buggers to deal with the bad stuff. Paris’ collecting of living creatures is disgusting. I’m sure she’s breaking some kind of city ordinance by now, between all those dogs and God knows what else. I’d be great if some authority would step in.

And just to help her out, I’ll take the micro pig off her hands. I’m currently pet-less, and adore curly tails.

Here are some older pictures of Paris with her menagerie.

Last week after Jessica Simpson’s dog Daisy was snatched by a coyote right in front of her, she received an outpouring of sympathy, but also a little bit of criticism. Jess wasn’t able to accept that Daisy was really gone, and while that’s a natural reaction, she unfortunately chose to tweet about it. Naturally that meant lots of celebrities were responding to Jessica’s loss, and Martha Stewart – being Martha Stewart and thus a corrector – said that Jessica should have been watching Daisy more closely. Now Martha’s corrected herself (possibly a first!) and offered a more appropriately empathic response.

Martha Stewart made a public apology to Jessica Simpson Thursday over the loss of the singer’s beloved dog, Daisy.

“I said that she should have been watching her dog more closely, but I feel very, very sorry for anybody that loses a pet,” the master homemaker said on The Martha Stewart Show.

Earlier this month, Stewart seemed to chastise Simpson for not looking out for her dog more carefully after Daisy was snatched by a coyote in front of Simpson’s eyes. But now Stewart has turned more sympathetic.

“Jessica, I hope you find your pet, but if you don’t, I’m really sorry that you lost one,” she added.

The loss of her dog has been hard for Simpson, who thought of Daisy almost as her child, according to friends. “Daisy was her baby,” one pal tells PEOPLE. “It’s going to put her into a tailspin.”

Another source says the singer is “really upset,” but is “focusing on work and spending time with her family and friends.”

[From People]

Martha lost two of her beloved Chow Chows within a year of each other. The first, Paw-Paw, seems to have died of natural causes. Martha displayed some sweet photos of her dog on her blog, including a photo of him wrapped in a white sheet tied with a silver bow before his burial. The second dog, Genghis Khan, died in a freak accident while being boarded in a kennel this past March. There was a propane explosion at the kennel which killed many of the dogs, and many police and the propane deliveryman were badly burned trying to rescue them. It’s a very sad story that reminds us just how dearly our pets matter, that people were willing to risk their lives like that.

I’m a little surprised that Martha ever made her original comment, considering she’s lost two dogs recently. It would have been nice if she’d said she was sorry for her insensitive comment – her “sorry” was that Jessica lost Daisy – but at least it’s something.

Jon Gosselin gave his two German Shepherd dogs back to the breeder, and is rumored to have blamed his estranged wife Kate for it. His supposed justification for giving away the dogs is that Kate doesn’t take care of them when he’s not there. Jon Gosselin has enough money to buy $1,000 shoes. Can’t he hire someone to walk and feed the dogs for him when his wife has custody of the children? No, he has to make an already-difficult divorce more traumatizing for his kids by taking away their pets. It’s all about Jon and how he was wronged. The guy probably doesn’t have any friends, ex-lovers (shudder), or family he can trust to care for the dogs, but he can surely hire a pet sitting service if he wants to keep them. Instead, he had to make the pitiful point that his wife won’t let him keep his beloved pets. He is such a piece of work:

Okay animal lovers, divorcing a spouse is one thing, but getting rid of your dogs is quite another. Jon Gosselin is sending his two German Shepherd’s back to the breeder as part of the fallout from his divorce from Kate.

While the eight Gosselin children are staying in the family’s Wernersville, PA home, their parents are splitting time there, trying to avoid disrupting the kids’ lives but also not wanting to be around each other.

Now, Shoka and Nala, the family dogs are being discarded and Jon has been telling pals it’s Kate’s fault because she won’t take care of them when he’s not at the house.

“Jon blames Kate for having to give up the dogs,” a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com exclusively. “Of course, these days Jon blames Kate for just about everything.”

Jon has given several interviews recently and been brutal on Kate, saying he “despises” her and loves girlfriend Hailey Glassman more than he ever loved his wife.

He’s also in the middle of another scandal, with his kids’ babysitter, Stephanie Santoro now coming forward and confirming she had a sexual relationship with Jon – a fact first reported by RadarOnline.com.

But Jon’s attempts to blame Kate for getting rid of the dog simply isn’t fair, one source told RadarOnline.com. The dogs have always been Jon’s and while Kate was willing to do whatever she had to she simply can’t handle them and Jon didn’t make any other arrangements for them to be taken care of. He now lives in an apartment in New York City and never considered getting a place where he could keep his dogs, the source told us.

“Kate’s being gracious about the situation, she’s not going to blame Jon,” said the source.

Earlier in the summer Jon caused an uproar when he made comments to People.com about the dogs. “Those kids beat them up, climb on them, pull their tails, bite at them, drag them around and everything you can imagine not to do to an animal, they’ve done.”

The Humane Society of Berks County, Pa., where the Gosselins live, received numerous complaints about the family and animal cruelty, prompting Jon to release a statement to teh HSBC. “I would like to clarify a recent statement I made regarding my family’s two German Shepherd puppies, Shoka and Nala. The statement – if taken literally and out of context – could be misinterpreted and I’d like to set the record straight. We understand the responsibilities of being good dog owners. Whenever my kids are with Shoka and Nala, everyone is carefully supervised to ensure that no one – dog or child – is injured. Shoka and Nala are loyal companions who we consider members of our family. We would never do anything to hurt them, and treat them with the respect and love that they deserve.”

[From Radar Online]

When will the ridiculous stories end about this family? This guy has the mentality of an immature teenager. I think I learned the most about Jon from an interview that was posted by Radar yesterday with nanny Stephanie Santoro’s mom. Jon is said to have blamed Stephanie for telling his other girlfriend, Hailey, about their relationship. Then when Stephanie swore up and down that she didn’t tell Hailey, Jon begged her to lie to Hailey and tell her that their relationship wasn’t sexual. When Stephanie refused to do that Jon got mad and broke up with her, but then he sent her a bunch of text messages trying to get back with her. He’s a tool of the highest order.

Jon no longer wanted the responsibility of caring for those dogs so he ditched them and blamed his soon-to-be ex wife for it. This incident seems to roughly parallel his behavior as a husband and father.

Meanwhile Kate Gosselin is rumored to be in talks for her own mom-centric talkshow co-starring The Food Network’s Paula Deen. If it goes through, will Kate do the right thing and halt production on her reality show? I doubt it.

Paris Hilton posted photos on her Twitter account over the weekend showing off the dog-size multi-level home she has for her 17 chihuahuas and one Pomeranian, which she hasn’t always been able to keep track of. Paris used to have a gated area in the bedroom at her old home for her dogs, but they now apparently rate their own mini-mansion complete with chandeliers, air conditioning, a small wardrobe, and staircase and several beds. Paris tweeted the cell phone pictures along with some pictures of her cute dogs, who have names like “Dolce,” “Marilyn Monroe,” “Harajuku Bitch,” and “Prince Baby Bear.” In case you’re wondering about the scale of the house, here’s a photo with one of the dogs inside. And here’s a picture of Paris holding the “Chewy Vuitton” bed shown in this photo inside the house.

Just look at those sweet lil faces, they deserve to be treated like my lil Prince and Princesses I Love my babies!!!!

[From Paris Hilton's Twitter]

I keep reminding myself there’s no reason to be jealous of Paris’ pampered dogs in their mini mansion. After all, they have to have Paris as their owner. The dog’s home is quite close to Paris’ own decorating style. Hello! Magazine published photos in 2006 of the interior of her last home in the Hollywood Hills and she had chandeliers in her closet, above her bed and of course in the dining room. At that time she was sleeping in a bed worth $20,000.

Paris also tweeted a picture of her pool area, which includes an Eames La Chaise chair which retails for $9,475.00. Now that, I’m jealous of.

Oprah’s O Magazine cover story about her puppies doesn’t really have any new information. She talks about how her 11-week-old puppies Ivan and Sadie both came down with the parvo virus, and how distraught she was when Ivan died. The only interesting thing I found out was that Oprah met Sadie when she was doing this cover photo for the June issue, “The Animals Issue”. Oprah is pictured with several of the cutest puppies she could find from Chicago shelters, including Sadie. Oprah says that Sadie was the puppy she felt an immediate connection with. Of course, Oprah. You love cocker spaniels, of course you’re going to gravitate towards the cocker puppy. It’s not rocket science.

It’s a puppy party!

Oprah Winfrey poses with her new rescue puppy, Sadie (top left), and a pack of four-legged friends for the June cover of O, The Oprah Magazine, on newsstands May 19. The shot was taken at the PAWS no-kill Chicago shelter, where Winfrey found Sadie. Themed “The Animals Issue,” the June magazine examines the bonds owners share with their animals.

Winfrey knows first-hand about the human-animal bond. A lifelong pet owner, she adopted Sadie after the photo shoot, saying, “Out of all the pups in that picture, Sadie was the one I felt an instant connection with.” (The four remaining pooches in the photo were eventually adopted, too.) Days later, she adopted Sadie’s brother Ivan, but then tragedy struck: After a few weeks at home, both pups were diagnosed with the deadly parvo virus.

Winfrey retold the story on the March 20 episode of her show, and shares her experiences in her June “What I Know for Sure” column. She writes, “I’d been through parvo 13 years before, with my brown cocker, Solomon. It nearly killed him. He stayed in the hospital for 20 days. He was over a year old when he got it. Ivan was only 11 weeks. His young immune system wasn’t strong enough to overcome it. Four days after we took Ivan to the emergency clinic, he died.”

She says of Sadie’s own experience with the parvovirus, “The first four days, she got increasingly worse. At one point I told her doctor, ‘I’m prepared to let her go. She shouldn’t have to fight this hard.’ ” But the next day, Sadie started to improve and happily, she is now fully recovered.

[From People Magazine]

It’s very sad. Oprah was obviously devastated to lose Ivan, as she was with every dog she’s lost over the years. It really is devastating to lose an animal that seems like a member of the family, I know from experience. So I don’t blame Oprah for talking about it so much. But still… puppies! Look at the little puppies. I want the brown sleepy-looking one!

Thanks to Oprah.com for these photos
