Ashley Judd and her husband Dario Franchetti are at LAX in this photo – he’s got the luggage and she’s carrying her two beloved dogs Buttermilk and Shug. Ashley loves her adorable cockapoos and both of them appear to be service dogs with official credentials. That probably means they can travel right beside Ashley and Dario. What could their “service” be?

We never hear and we hardly ever see Howard Stern any more, but he turned up, as usual, for the North Shore Animal League Celebrity Gala at Cipriani in New York. Mrs Stern, Beth Ostrosky, is spokesperson for the no-kill rescue organization and like other celebrities, she and Howard brought their beloved bulldog Bianca to the fundraising party. We miss hearing Howard in the morning since he went to Siruis satellite radio.

We do enjoy seeing Oprah with her dogs. She visited the Anastasia Salon in Beverly Hills (that’s Anastasia the eyebrow queen in the doorway) and Oprah brought along her blonde cocker spaniel Sadie. Sadie was adopted from the PAWS Animal Shelter in Chicago and became deathly ill her first week home. Oprah got her the best care, and she survived. Now they’re inseparable.

GIVE JESSICA SIMPSON A BREAK

Humanity has sunk to a new low. Jessica Simpson, still heartbroken over the loss of her dog Daisy to a coyote, has to put up with “pranksters” claiming to have found her missing dog alive. She offered a reward and an email address for information in the slim chance that her dog survived. Cruel people have been leaving messages that they found her dog but they’re all fake. How heartless and brutal can people be? She doesn’t need to be reminded of this tragedy. Jessica doesn’t deserve this – nobody does. Anyone who thinks this is funny should seriously have their head examined.

MICKEY ROURKE DOESN’T HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THE GIRL AND HER DOG
Filed Under: Dogs > Iron man 2 > Mickey Rourke

Mickey Rourke can’t seem to decide if he’s more interested in the pretty woman he’s with or her adorable dog. Either way, he’s happy. If Mickey seems to be doing not much more than lounging in cafes and nightclubs lately, that perception is inaccurate. In fact, he does more than hang out – he’s got at least eight movies lined up or finished. “Iron Man 2” will probably give him a biggest payday but he’s also doing some independent features like the Indian gangster movie “Broken Horses.”

It’s supermodel Elle Macpherson and her little boy Aurelius, 6, (that’s SOME name to live up to) and her labradoodle Bella. Two of the three are successful models. Elle is a given, but the other up and coming model is not her cute son – it’s Bella. The fuzzy pooch has a five figure modeling contract to star in a national ad campaign for Dogside.com.

THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO JESSICA SIMPSON’S DOG DAISY
Filed Under: Daisy > Dogs > Jessica Simpson > The Truth > Tina Simpson
What REALLY happened to Jessica Simpson’s beloved Maltipoo Daisy is even more heartbreaking than the story she’s been twittering. It seems Jessica is taking a lot of undeserved flak for being an irresponsible dog owner, when in fact, she is NOT. The truth is, Daisy was in the care of Jessica’s mother Tina Simpson when Daisy was snatched by that coyote. Jessica has been protecting her mother.
Here’s how it went down:
Jessica was filming her reality show out of the country and left Daisy with her mom at Tina’s gated Encino home. On Labor Day Tina was out in the backyard with her own Maltese and Daisy when Daisy saw a squirrel and ran up the hill behind the house. A coyote suddenly appeared from behind a tree and grabbed Daisy, who was never seen again. Tina was hysterical .The family searched the neighborhood and decided not to break the news to Jessica until she returned. They didn’t want her to have a meltdown far from home. Every day Jessica would call and ask about Daisy and they’d say she was fine. Jessica returned six days later on Saturday and her tearful family was together and told Jessica that Daisy had been taken by a coyote earlier that day. Jessica collapsed. She desperately started searching and hoping Daisy might have survived. Jessica knew her mother felt awful and didn’t want her to take the blame her so she was deliberately vague about releasing the details of the tragedy. The whole family is upset about this and although Jessica is beyond heartbroken, she is covering up for her mother.

DON’T LET JESSICA SIMPSON’S TRAGEDY HAPPEN TO YOU
Filed Under: Daisy > Dogs > Jessica Simpson
We feel terrible about Jessica Simpson’s adorable dog Daisy being snatched by a coyote. Of all the not-so-great things that have happened to her lately, this is certainly the worst. Maybe this tragic loss will remind other people who live in areas where coyotes roam (especially in or near the hills) to NEVER allow their animals outside where coyotes can strike. Vigilance is essential at all times. Hungry coyotes are leaving the hills to hunt for food and can appear very suddenly – wealthy, gated communities notwithstanding.

JENNIFER ANISTON DOEN’T MIND KISSING STRANGERS, AS LONG AS THEY HAVE FOUR LEGS

Jennifer Aniston has never had a problem relating to dogs. She’s in New York filming “The Bounty” outside in excessively hot weather but she couldn’t resist stopping to give a kiss to two dogs that were being walked nearby. Jen’s own beloved dog Norman,13, is no doubt waiting for her in some air-conditioned place nearby.

ALEC BALDWIN HAS GONE TO BAT FOR MICHAEL VICK
Filed Under: Alec Baldwin > Celebrity Pets > Crimes and Misdemeanors > Dogs > Michael Vick

Alec Baldwin’s support for Michael Vick has us perplexed. Animal activist Alec blogged to The Huffington Post that he feels that because Vick is a public figure, he’s being judged by more rigorous standards than other people who abuse animals. Alec claims the owners of meatpacking plants and directors of medical research on animals aren’t as harshly judged because they are out of sight. Baldwin feels that Michael Vick deserves another chance to prove he is a changed man. We take offense to the notion that meat packers and medical researchers can be COMPARED to a bloodthirsty monster like Vick who deliberately tortured and killed domesticated PETS for his own twisted amusement. Some things are not so easy to forgive. Sorry Alec, you struck out on this one.

Mickey Rourke is still thinking about his deceased dog Loki. Not only does Mickey wear Loki’s photo around his neck, but now he has Loki’s name monogrammed on his dandyish velvet shoes. “The Wrestler” star is in London now and we’re guessing that’s where he got the custom made footwear.

Charlize Theron is pictured her at her beach house, urging her reluctant doggy to run on the sand and play fetch with her boyfriend Stuart Townsend. She appears fully recovered from the nasty stomach virus that landed her in Cedars Sinai hospital for four days last week. Docs told her she probably picked up the virus on her overseas travels. Stuart admitted he was really scared because Charlize “never complains.”

CHARLOTTE CASIRAGHI TREATS HER DOG LIKE ROYALTY

Charlotte Casiraghi, 22, has inherited her mother’s good looks. Her mother, of course, is Princess Caroline of Monaco. Caroline deliberately didn’t give Charlotte a title, in hopes that she could live her life out of the public eye. But she’s pretty, and the European press is mad for her. Charlotte earned a degree in philosophy from the Sorbonne – where that will lead her in terms of a career remains to be seen. She does love her dog and perhaps doesn’t trust French drivers, because she carried her pooch across the street in Paris.

If being partners on “Dancing With The Stars” doesn’t damage Julianne Hough’s relationship with country singer Chuck Wicks, nothing will. Competing can be very stressful, but these two seem closer than ever. They took Julianne’s Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Lexi, for an outing at an LA mall.

RICHARD BELZER'S DOG IS AN OCTOMOM
Filed Under: Crimes and Misdemeaners > Dogs > Oops! > Richard Belzer
Animal activist Richard Belzer, who promotes the adoption of homeless pets and has adopted two dogs of his own, has been accused of being an irresponsible dog owner. His female border collie mix Django was not spayed and according to sources in animal activism, he allowed her to mate with another dog in Central Park. She gave birth to eight puppies recently and now he has to scramble to find homes for them. Keep in mind that thousands of shelter dogs are killed every year because they cannot find homes. His fellow animal lovers are calling the “Law & Order” star a hypocrite and WORSE…

ELIZABETH TAYLOR: EVERYTHING'S COMING UP DAISIES
Filed Under: Daisy > Dogs > Elizabeth Taylor
Elizabeth Taylor and Mickey Rourke have something in common. She, too was distraught when her Maltese Sugar passed away. Liz immediately got another Maltese that looked just like Sugar and named her Daisy. But Daisy was not sweet like Sugar – she wasn’t happy sitting on Liz’s lap all the time – she wanted to run around and bark and play. Exasperated Liz gave Daisy to a nephew and replaced her with yet another white Maltese she named Daisy, who’s a bit older and calmer. No one even noticed the switch, and Liz doesn’t mention it.

Mickey Rourke’s jewelry was the talk of the Independent Spirit Awards today. Around his neck he wore a tiny framed photo of his beloved Chihuahua Loki who passed away last week in his arms. Mickey credited Loki with getting him through the toughest times of his life. Hard times are apparently over, because Mickey took home the Best Actor award and “The Wrestler” was Best Film. We’re thrilled that Melissa Leo got Best Actress for “Frozen River.” Which you MUST see!

Best Actor Mickey Rourke really won us over at the Golden Globes when he thanked his dogs in his acceptance speech. He commented that “they were with him when no one else was” and made a sentimental reference to his present and past dogs. He looked like he had a tear in his eye and we suddenly wondered if his constant companion – his beloved 16 year old chihuahua Loki, was no longer alive. To our immense relief, we were told that Loki is doing fine. And SO is Mickey.
