JUST FOR FUN: TWO BABY GOATS PLAYING AROUND

They’re only one day old, but these baby goats are already incredibly curious and playful as they explore a see-saw. Sometimes you need a break from looking at celebrities and animals are the perfect alternative…

DONALD TRUMP JR THE HUNTER IS A PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A MAN

What could be SADDER than seeing Donald Trump’s son triumphantly holding the tail he has just chopped off the elephant he killed. (TMZ) He claims he’s doing African villagers a “favor” by supplying them with meat, but that’s absurd. (These guys are wealthy enough to BUY the villagers food, if they actually cared.) Trump’s two sons, Donald Jr and Eric, are obviously too pampered and spoiled and they need to feel like macho men so they shot an elephant, crocodile, a water buck, a leopard etc. Like Michael Vick, they think cruelly stalking and killing animals heightens their testosterone and builds up their egos. This behavior is especially appalling when it involves supposedly civilized people. Hopefully, they broke some sort of law and will be punished. Meanwhile WE will not forget!

Tori Spelling and her husband Dean McDermott took a Christmas shopping break to get an energy boost – in the form of a whole bunch of coffee and edibles at Starbucks. Christmas is a big deal at Tori’s house – she has three kids to please (Hattie was born in October) along with a menagerie of animals. Tori has cats, dogs, bunnies, goats, a chicken, and a pig. Despite the crowd, Tori says another baby is a strong possibility.

HIS WIFE BETH MADE HOWARD STERN A BETTER PERSON

Howard Stern’s beautiful wife Beth appeared on the Good Morning America show introducing her 2012 Animal League Calendar to raise money for her animal charity and promote pet adoption. Howard took all the photos of Beth with adoptable pets in the $20 calendar. You’ve got to hand it to Beth – she turned her wealthy husband into a big softie for animals and now he’s generous with his time and money for her charity.

Male penguins can be just as sneaky as male humans. (Are you reading this, Ashton and Arnold?) The difference is they’re definitely cuter while they’re misbehaving.

NIKE THINKS MICHAEL VICK’S CRIMES ARE NO BIG DEAL- THEY HIRED HIM AGAIN

What’s WRONG with these Nike people? The company just resigned animal torturer Michael Vick as their spokesperson. He’ll design a line of shoes for them and earn millions of dollars. Back in 2007, Nike dumped Vick after he was convicted of participating in a dogfighting ring and animal cruelty. Now the Nike rep says “Michael acknowledges his past mistakes?” Is THAT all it takes? What Nike may not know is that SOME CRIMES ARE UNFORGIVABLE. Should child molesters, rapists, wife beaters, etc, be given a pass if they “acknowledge” their crimes? Has Nike seen photos of the dogs he destroyed? We consumers who love our pets never want to see Michael Vick’s face again. We can live with Tiger Woods’ bad behavior, but Michael Vick just oozes evil. Nike will never look the same to us.

NO KIDDING: ROB PATTINSON AND HIS ELEPHANT COSTAR HAVE REAL CHEMISTRY

It’s nothing new for costars to fall in love during the making of a movie, but in Rob Pattinson’s case, the costar was an elephant. (So Kristen Stewart has nothing to worry about.) Before Rob signed for his role in “Water for Elephants,” the director introduced him to Tai his elephant costar, and Rob was immediately enchanted. He loves animals and agreed to take the part. Reese Witherspoon did most of the on-camera stunts with Tai, but Rob learned a few of his own, just for fun. Rob let her pick him up and he rode around on her. The director observed that Tai developed real feelings for Pattinson (like almost every other woman alive) and it was obvious when they were together. As for Rob, he cried on Tai’s last day of shooting.

THIS IS THE MAN KATY PERRY MARRIED

We never had much of a weakness for Russell Brand, but we were horrified by revelations he made in a recent interview. According to Radaronline, back when Brand, now 36, was addicted to crack and heroin he admits he had “destructive tendencies” and was “fixated on dead animals.” When he performed onstage he’d bring a heap of dead rats or birds and says he’d “smash them up with a hammer and throw them to the audience. He’d say “Why are you disgusted? They’re dead already!” He says he was trying to “wake people up” by shocking them. It’s a horrifying mental picture that Brand clearly would be better off not mentioning. Drugs are no excuse.

A RARE PAIR OF PLATYPUSES

After all that red carpet indulgence, it’s nice to cleanse the palate by appreciating cute animals without attitude. Our friend Stephen Saban at The WOW Report found this photo of something you don’t see very often – a pair of baby platypuses. These semi-aquatic creatures live in Australia and the look like an evolutionary cross between a reptile and a mammal. They’re covered with fur (in the 1800’s people wore platypus coats) but have web feet and a flat beak like a duck. And they growl! They’re celebrities in the animal kingdom.
