Another season, another reason for picking the hair off the couch…in a manner of speaking, of course.
Rounding out 2006 was a very festive occasion in Culver City , California – that's right, it was time for the Lint Roller Party. This charity event is the annual fundraising celebration for the Best Friends Animal Society and it certainly brought all the celebrities out – and their canine friends.
Chad Lowe was there, trying his best to get a dog Spunky adopted and into a good home.
Amy Smart and her fiancé Brandon Williams showed up with their pooch Oscar, while Corey Feldman, Carl Lewis, and many others were also on hand to help support a great cause.
But while these celebrities were using their powers for good, Ms. Britney Spears was named the WORST DOG OWNER of 2006 by an online poll.
According to the Associated Press, Hilary O'Hagan of The Hollywood Dog and The New York Dog stated, "Britney was the overwhelming choice."
Her worst offenses? Britney seems to have 'lost' her three Chihuahuas ever since she was married to Kevin "Apparently I don't like dogs" Federline and had her two sons.
Oh, Bit Bit, where have you gone?
But never to be outdone, Miss Paris Hilton was also in this list of world's worst dog owners, though she was only second (word has it that she is still waiting on the recount results). By treating her dogs like Louis Vuitton purses, she's a dog's enemy number one among those of us that love our dogs for more than just their ability to match with our newest dress.
Still, there is good news in this poll.
Oprah Winfrey was voted the year 2006's best celebrity dog owner with her five often talked about and probably very spoiled pups.
They are certainly some of Oprah's Favorite Things.
Speaking of Oprah, Alicia Silverstone (vegan and animal lover extraordinaire) was asking viewers to try to get Oprah to do a show on the pets that were abandoned during Hurricane Katrina.
With the hopes of educating people on the importance of spaying and neutering in order to control the pet population (thanks to Bob Barker, as always), Ms. Silverstone is trying to make her famous voice heard.
Celebrities that actually have a conscience….it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas…
