My favorite part of America’s Funniest Home Videos is always the dog stuff. I’ve also, on more than one occasion, found myself crashed out on the couch watching some type of dog competition. I’ll admit that this is embarrassing and slightly disturbing but I’ve just decided to roll with it. The natural progression of my dog-TV habit seems to be the new show on CBS, The Greatest American Dog. I just might be Tivo-ing this thing. Maybe you should too.
Here’s how the website describes this bundle of awesomeness:
Twelve extraordinary teams of dogs and owners from across the nation from “pageant dogs” to those simply trained at home, will live together and compete against each other in challenges that put the owners’ ability to train their dogs to the test. Each week, the judges will eliminate one dog and their owner. The last remaining team will walk away with a $250,000 cash prize and the title of GREATEST AMERICAN DOG.
Distinguished canine critics Wendy Diamond, Allan Reznik and Victoria Stilwell are the three judges with Jarod Miller hosting.

- There might be another Lohan kid. Ashley Kaufmann, age 13, might possibly be the love child of Michael Lohan, conceived during a split from his wife, White Oprah. (He has admitted to having an affair with the mother, Kristi Kaufmann in 1995.) “I’ve seen pictures and, to tell the truth, there are similarities with Linds,” Michael Lohan told the Daily News last week. He has submitted DNA see if he is the babydaddy. What is this, kid #5? Ever hear of a condom, Lohan? Hmmmm, I wonder when Ashley’s CD and reality show drop…. (Happy freakin’ Bday, Linds.)
- Heidi Montag wants to record a Christian album. “I have been the most religious person since I was 2 years old. I always felt this crazy connection to God,” Heidi said. She also stated that she ‘almost’ devoted her life to missionary work in Africa. She will travel there this summer so she can “”feed children and help build things.” When asked about her role in leaking LC’s sex tape, she said, “God knows the truth in all of this, and at the end of the day, that is the only thing that matters. Jesus was persecuted, and I’m going to get persecuted, ya know?” Who I feel bad for in this mess is Jesus. He really needs a PR person. First ‘What Would Jesus Do’ merchandise, then W, and now this? How embarrassing.

There are many reasons us LA gals throw on flip flops year round. They’re easy and comfy and we’re a casual city. Our weather is so good that we can sport Havaianas eleven months out of the year. So, why shouldn’t we?
Well, aside from the fact that non-stop flip flop wearing is boring and tired, new studies show that constantly wearing your flops can cause health problems. According to LiveScience.com, researchers at Auburn University found that the motion of walking in flip flops “stretches the plantar fascia, the connective tissue that runs from heel to toe, causing inflammation, pain along the sole, heel spurs and tired feet in general.” The researchers also found that flip flop wearers “altered their gait, taking shorter strides and turning their ankles inward, likely to keep the flip-flop from falling off.” This can cause long-term ankle and hip problems. ABC news quotes, Dr Rock Positano, podiatrist at New York’s hospital for special surgery, as saying that “flip-flops have single-handedly caused more problems with people’s feet in the last couple of years than probably any other type of shoe.” The doctor equated the wearing of flip-flops as being “no better than walking on a rubber band.” Teva wearers everywhere are saying “I told you so.” Noooooo!

You may have seen the video of Shaq rapping at a New York club this week. In the rap, he gets the crowd to sing the chorus, “Kobe, tell me how my ass tastes.” Wow. My pal Rox really wants to know. Help us out.

- Lindsey Lohan’s new cd (her 3rd) is titled Spirit In The Dark. Man, that’s deep. Because, you know, she lives in the spotlight but her spirit is in the dark. Or maybe her spirit is hiding? Blind? A vampire? Wow, that Lindsey sure is thought-provoking. That’s the most I’ve thought in like a decade. The first single, produced by Pharrell Williams, is called “Playground”. The magic drops in September.
- Mary Kate Olson doesn’t like Spencer Pratt either. The Olson twin talked to Dave Letterman Thursday about her former classmate. “He used to play on the soccer team for my high school. He does not have a good temper,” said Olsen. “He walked out of a few games. He would walk off the field. He was like, ‘Me or the coach!’” When Dave asked if she thought he was ‘wormy’, she nodded and said, “yeah.” I think ‘wormy’ is a good word for this dude. He reminds me of an ex of mine: cocky and wormy, wormy and cocky, cocky and wormy cha cha cha.

Last night, Michael Kors and Lucky Magazine threw a bash in the Galleria honoring the opening of their newest store. Living up to expectations, it was all gorgeous bags and shoes, fabulous cocktails and super markdowns.
When I walked in, I was handed a cocktail and asked if I wanted a stylist to choose an outfit for me. As I begged no, I watched women have their photos taken for the Lucky Magazine website. Super cute stuff but I’m way too shy for that so I hung back and lusted over the bags. Because I have a special problem where I always pick the most expensive thing in the store, the first one I honed in on was a python hinge clutch that retails for just under a grand. Hmmmm…starving artist salary here, do I need a mega clutch? That would be no. The next one I picked up was from a special collection. It was beautiful…the size of a letter with a chain handle. It was also $600. So, okay, okay, I couldn’t afford to buy what I wanted, but I truly enjoyed looking.

- Shaq still has a big mouth. Ever since Shaquille O’Neal was traded to The Suns, there has been no love lost between him and Kobe. In a freestyle rap he performed at a New York nightclub, Shaq attacked Bryant with rhymes like “You know how I be/Last week Kobe couldn’t do without me” and “I’m a horse,Kobe ratted me out/That’s why I’m getting divorced.” This whole crazy clown Shaq thing was endearing and cute when he was a Laker but now it’s just annoying. Although, the “Kobe, tell me how my ass tastes” line was kind-of funny.
- Nate Dogg got himself arrested. Monday, Nate Dogg was pulled over and arrested on the 405 freeway for allegedly following and threatening his estranged wife. “South Los Angeles CHP officers quickly moved to intercept the two parties, and stopped the victim and Mr. Hale,” the CHP reported. Now I’ll never be able to listen to “Never Leave Me Alone” the same way again.

“We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.” ~ Immanuel Kant
With all the homeless animals in Los Angeles, you’d think it would be crazy easy to find one to adopt. I was under that impression when I decided I wanted to rescue a dog. After spending a couple of months filling out loads of applications online, scoping out animal rescue agencies and trekking to adoption fairs far and wide every weekend (I mean, I even drove to the South Bay!), it finally dawned on me. No one was going to give me a dog to love. The reason? I had never been a dog owner (in my adult life anyway) and these dog rescue fanatics were not willing to take a chance on me. I respect that but I wasn’t one to give up so easily. I knew I had a lot of love to give and I was certain there was a dog out there that needed me. That’s when my friend suggested the Burbank Animal Shelter. What a brilliant idea! I adopted my cat from there 10 years ago so I knew it was a good shelter. I also knew where it was (bonus) so my friend and I ran over one afternoon. There, sitting in a cage shivering was my soon-to-be best friend.

There are so many celebrity babies out there right now. It’s kinda-sorta interesting what name they choose for their progeny. I’m just waiting for something really heinous. You know, like Jermajesty.

- Jaime Lynn done had that baby, y’all! In case you’ve been in, I don’t know, somewhere remote like the Valley for the last 48 hours, let me just tell you that Brit Brit’s little sis had a baby girl. Ma and Pa named the girl Maddie Briann, which I thought was so cute until I found out that Brit and Jaime’s brother’s name is Brian. Why do they all have to be named after each other? I’m surprised she didn’t name her Lynn Britney Jaime K-Fed Spears or something. Anyway, mom and baby are doing well.
- David Beckham in his underwear is never a bad idea. Emporio Armani debuted a giant mural of a mostly naked Becks facing Macy’s in San Francisco on Wednesday. Freaking genius. But, why San Francisco? Bring that hotness down south, Armani people. Becks is property of LA now (not the Bay Area) and we want to stare at him while stuck in traffic! Better than that stupid Love Guru poster.

- Good ole’ Diddy reveals that he waxes, um, down there. Yes, I mean his chums. His nards. His plums. His babymakers. Yeah those! Diddy explains, “While I’m getting ready I like to relax with a drink – vodka and lemonade – and listen to some James Brown. Then I’ll have a manicure and pedicure – and yes, I wax as well. Men owe it to women to make sure they are well-groomed.” Then, to make sure there was no confusion, he added: “I wax my privates. I also wear my fragrance, Unforgivable Black.” Talk about ‘Balls of Fury’. Ouch.
- Paris Hilton was refused a puppy on Melrose this weekend. She popped into The Puppy Store to pick up a puppy so she could use it in a photo shoot. The employee refused to sell her the Yorkie, calling it “an impulse buy.” Before you feel sorry for her, you should know that this crazy chic has 17 dogs at home. 17! I can barely handle one and unlike Paris, I can find England on a map. Paris reportedly “went ballistic.” Holy crap, that’s funny. Go Puppy Store!
