LADY AND THE TRAMP ARE NOW REAL LIVE DOGS

This photo was all we needed to fall in love with the idea of a live-action Lady and the Tramp. We loved the original 1955 animated version, but these two acting dogs make the movie even better. Both pooches were rescues – Lady is a sweet Cocker Spaniel voiced by Tessa Thompson, and Tramp is a stray street-smart Schnauzer voiced by Justin Theroux. Opposites attract – when the two dogs meet they join forces for a big adventure and make new friends like Trusty the Bloodhound played by Sam Elliott, and Peg the Pekinese voiced by Janelle Monae. Disney hopes you’ll watch the film at home with your dog on their new cable channel.

VANESSA HUDGENS DOESN’T WANT YOU TO KNOW SHE SMOKES!

Vanessa Hudgens was so brainwashed on “how to behave” by Disney when she was a child star that it’s hard for her to adjust to the fact that she’s grown up and independent now. She had to chop off her hair and gain 10 pounds for her role as an unwed teen mother in “Gimme Shelter” and as a result, she’s not happy with her looks. A photographer caught her deeply inhaling on a cigarette as a friend was driving her through West Hollywood, and Vanessa went bonkers. She jumped out of the car and chased the paparazzi down the street in a rage! Vanessa, you’re 22 now and smoking is not illegal, but it’s a dumb way to lose weight.

EINSTEIN IS ON HIS WAY TO HOLLYWOOD!

Little Einstein the miniature horse (20 inches tall on his first birthday,) is becoming quite a celebrity. He appeared on Good Morning America to promote his new book “A Friend for Einstein.” It’s about his search for a little best friend to play with. A portion of the proceeds goes to the ASPCA to care for abandoned horses. Noting that the world has fallen in love with him, Disney wants to make Einstein a movie star! We only hope he leads a long and healthy life.

WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH VANESSA HUDGENS?

Vanessa Hudgens needs a new boyfriend or an exciting job opportunity because the 22 year old seems to be bored out of her mind. Why else does a successful and beautiful young woman go out and get tattooed in this day and age? What was hot in the 90’s has become tiresome, with tattoo removal offices rivaling tattoo parlors in number. Desperate for excitement, Vanessa got another butterfly tattoo – she has one on her back and this one’s visible on her neck. (Apparently the name Vanessa translates to butterfly in Greek, as if that’s an excuse.) Maybe this is one of the few ways Disney kids can rebel without consequences.
