In an interview last August, Mickey Rooney gave a candid and witty interview with Guardian Unlimited. When asked “cat or dog” this was his answer:

Dog. We have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Sir Digby. No matter how hectic life gets, we know when we get home our precious little companion is there with loving eyes waiting for us.”

Two other signs, beyond the belly, that Christina Aguilera is indeed with child: She’s having insanely vivid dreams, stirred up by the hormonal tsunami. “I read in one of my little pregnancy magazines that there are three stages of dreams that you have,” she says. “First one is memories of your childhood. During the second stage, you have a lot of dreams about animals, and nurturing animals - connecting with something you can relate to on a motherly level. Third stage - I forget what the third stage is. But I’m totally in the second stage right now, dreaming about my dogs” - two papillions and a bull mastiff. “And I’m always saving them from danger, from coyotes - or saving the big one from drowning.”
