Oprah Winfrey Depicted with Her Late Dogs in Puppy Memorial
An exhibit dedicated to the memory of Oprah Winfrey’s late dogs opens in Manhattan’s west village, helping to promote pet safety awareness. A life-size monument depicts “puppy versions” of Oprah’s Cocker Spaniel Sophie and Golden Labrador Gracie atop the head of the talk show icon by controversial sculptor Daniel Edwards. The Puppies’ Memorial will be exhibited at Leo Kesting Gallery on May 22nd. “Memories of Sophie and Gracie: A Puppies’ Memorial” is inspired by the Oprah press releases that announced the passing of Gracie, who choked on a ball last year, and the passing of Sophie, who died in March.

Rumor Alert: Paris Hilton to Star in Dog Grooming Reality Show
Paris Hilton’s love for dogs may just have landed her a new gig to star in another reality show based on pet grooming.
The 27-year old has reportedly signed a deal with Britain’s Living TV channel to broadcast the show, Paris’ Pooches, which will be filmed at a dog’s beauty parlor on London’s Bond Street.
A source told the Sunday Star:
The shop is perfect for Paris. It’s a subject she’s passionate about and it’s a way for her to break into UK TV. Watching Paris act out her Los Angeles lifestyle, in which tiaras for Chihuahuas are of real importance, should be very entertaining and she will no doubt be hitting the clubs and parties over here in the same way she does back home.”
Update: E! Online confirmed this is a rumor after all by contacting the network. The network heard of no such show in the works.
