Kristen Bell loves her some hockey. And on top of that she loves her some hockey players. The hell she’s doing with Dax Sheppard is beyond me. She chatted with NHL.com yesterday and declared her preference for a high-sticker over low-sticker Brad Pitt*:
NHL.com: If you could meet any hockey player, who would you meet and why?
KB: Chris Osgood was my first crush. Brad Pitt be damned, he had nothing on Osgood’s rookie skill and sad eyes. There was actually a day in high school when I wrote on a name tag ‘Mrs. Osgood’ and wore it the whole day. I really thought we were perfect for each other. I’d love to meet him and probably apologize that things never worked out.
Then Kristen made the interview even spicier by talking about herself in a Catholic schoolgirl outfit. [insert sizzling sound here]:

Ashlee Simpson is officially Ashlee Wentz. In a move destined to doom her even further into obscurity than her music career already has, Ashlee felt it wise to take on the name of her new husband - seen here with a plate over his face. He did get my letters! People reports:
Pete Wentz says he left the name change decision to his wife. “These decisions with Ashlee and her name are all completely up to Ashlee,” Wentz says. “I want her to do these kinds of things the way she wants to do them.”
Still, he admits, he was flattered. “Oh man, I was like upgrade me! You know what I′m saying? The Wentz family, our Christmas card just got upgraded!” he says. “It feels insane. It feels unreal.”
For those of you unable to zoom in, or with poor vision, Pete’s paper plate mask reads “Your ad could be here. E-mail Jon@Douchebag.com.” When I read something like that and hear Pete say “Upgrade me!,” I can’t help but feel overjoyed that these two reproduced. (Side note: I express joy through punching. Vigorous punching.) Now where’s the happy couple? I’ve got some brass joy I can’t wait to share with them. Ha ha! So happy!

Kirsten Dunst opened up to E! Online’s Mark Malkin about her recent trip to Cirque Lodge. Turns out it wasn’t for the drinky; she was depressed. She also denied rumors that she’s dating Ryan Gosling. So, basically, after admitting she suffers from depression, E! made her confess to being lonely and emerging from her trailer at night to feed on the young. Okay, maybe not that last part. Here’s the details:
“I didn’t go to Cirque Lodge for alcohol abuse or drug abuse,” Dunst tells me exclusively during a lunch break on All Good Things. “I went there for depression.
“It was a good six months before I decided to go away,” Dunst says. “I was struggling, and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself. I was fortunate to have the resources to do it. My friends and family thought it was a good idea, too. But I didn’t know where to go. My doctor recommended Cirque Lodge.”
How can you be sad while you′re drinking? That’s scientifically impossible. Back me up, Geekologie Writer. And, also, put on some pants. I don’t want people thinking we coordinated outfits again.
Ill advised copuple believe a guarding breed should be allowed as an assistance dog!
This is perhaps one of the scarier breeds of dogs. Rottweilers are incredibly menacing in their body composition and in their presence. When I was very young, my family’s next door neighbors owned a Rottweiler named Bear. At the time, we had a black Lab and I can remember every day Bear would come over to our yard and play with our dog. There wa
If you haven′t read "Merle’s Door" by Ted Kerasote, you’ve missed out on a treat. This is an amazing book that tells the story of a man and a dog living in harmony. Ted met Merle when the dog was around ten months, and living wild in the Utah desert. Ted was on vacation taking a river trip, and Merle ended up
travelling down the river with him and his friends. At the end of the trip a bond had been formed, and Merle accompanied Ted back to Wyoming.
Ted′s home in Kelly is in the middle of a national park, and the dogs living there are afforded freedom which would be impractical in most areas. Having
lived alone, Merle had become independent, and wanted to come and go on his own timetable. To enable this, Ted installed a dog door - Merle’s door. Man and
dog could then develop their own routine.
Crufts 2008 was a celebration of all things dog, and in this show we bring you interviews with dog owners, organisations and product developers. Crufts is spread over several halls at the Birmingham NEC, and there’s so much more to it than just the show rings - although they are fascinating. The opportunities to find out about different dog breeds, different tasks dogs can complete and abilities they have, and to see countless dog related products just go on and on.
In certain breeds grooming is crucial - a bad fur day is to be avoided at all costs. We have interviews with a poodle owner busy combing her dog’s impressive coat, and with a Yorkshire Terrier owner occupied with putting doggy curlers into her dog’s hair. How much help are you allowed to give your dog’s natural beauty though? And how do the dogs themselves react to all this preening and primping? Listen and find out. We also talk to a Chihuahua owner about showing procedure and what it’s like to live with such a small dog.
Not all the dogs at Crufts are there to be shown, and we talked to Claire Guest from Cancer Dogs UK. She and two dogs she has been training for only a few months, demonstrated cancer detection. Claire also told us how dogs are helping predict low blood sugar for diabetes sufferers, and how the dogs’ scenting abilities will be used to develop new technology. Claire also talked to us about one of the breeds that the Kennel Club is concerned is in decline. Organipets was celebrating the best of British - they are one of the UK’s best dog foods. We caught up with Liz to hear how her rescue dog Raffy is getting along on her Organipets diet.
2008 is the Year of the Assistance Dog. Although the right of a disabled person to take their dog with them is protected by law, they still run into prejudice and problems occasionally. These dogs do a wonderful job, and are kept healthy and clean to ensure they pose no hygiene risks to the general public. To hear more about the year celebrating the work of these amazing dogs, we spoke to Dogs for the Disabled Chief Executive, Peter Gorbing.
