CDW reader, Sebastian, sent us this article from the National Enquirer:

House star Hugh Laurie was enjoying an early morning stroll in L.A when he came across two pooches in a park snarling their heads off and baring their fangs, as their owners just stood there frozen in fear.

Hugh immediately took charge and began shouting commands, telling both gals to grab their dogs’ leashes and yank them apart before a huge bloody fight erupted.

“Always let them know you’re the boss”, he informed the two women, “even if you have to bite them”.

True story? Who knows, but it’s funny!

We haven’t been able to confirm this yet but rumor has it that Nicole Richie is lending her celebrity name to a campaign to save street lights - from the dangers of dog urine.

:::insert look of terror and shock:::

Richie, who has two dogs - Foxxy Brown and Honeychild - has signed up to promote Swedish inventor Lennart Jarrelbro’s latest creation, dog urinals, to stop the metal on the posts being eroded by the chemicals found in canine waste products.

Her take on it?

They’re so clever. It’s a cute rubber cup attached to the post and a hose to pipe the urine into the gutter.”

Update: Just heard back from Nicole’s publicist - this rumor is just that, a RUMOR!

Paris Hilton wants to live for ever by having scientists freeze her body when she dies and is investing a fortune in the world’s biggest suspended animation cemetery so it can preserve her and then bring her back to life.

The belief being that future technology will be able to restore her, looking younger than ever. And to keep her company, Paris will have her beloved pets frozen with her.

The 26-year-old is rumored to have snapped up shares in the Cryonics Institute in Michigan and says:

“It’s so cool, almost all the cells in the body are still alive when death is pronounced and if you’re immediately cooled, you can be perfectly preserved. My life could be extended by hundreds and thousands of years.”

Animal lover Paris fears her pet Chihuahua, Tinkerbell, will be the first Hilton to put the scientists to the test because the tiny pooch is said to be on its last legs.
