Celebs Gone to the Doggies

Stars' pups, what they say about them

Jennifer Aniston has been romanced—and returned to sender—by loads of the world’s most famous two-legged dogs, but it’s her welsh-corgi, terrier mix Norman who's always been the main male in her life. She adores this pooch more than any man she’s ever dated, but Jen’s not alone with her puppy love—tons of celebs seem über-obsessed with their canine companions, in healthy and not-so-healthy ways.

Gotta wonder what that says about them. Let’s take a look at our fave picks—no, Margo and I didn’t make the list, 'cause as much as we’ve got a great relaysh goin’ on, we can stand to stay apart for more than a millisecond, unlike these folks, at one time or another:

Jake Gyllenhaal and his German shepherd, Atticus: Pre-Reese, Jake and Atticus were seen out and about on long walks almost everyday. Jakey must really trust R.W., since she’s been seen out with Atticus sans her Gyllenpal while he films abroad. You never saw Jen Aniston give over Norman’s leash to John Mayer—says a helluva lot, doesn’t it?

Aubrey O'Day and her teacup Maltese, Ginger: Ex-Danity Kane doll wears her political statements on her pup instead of her sleeve. AOD dyed her white doggie red and blue, er, purple and pink, which should shame both PETA and Obama. Aub even Frenched her pup for the paps. Ew. That’s what happens when you’re too trashy for human contact.

Pete Wentz and his English bulldog, Hemingway: Pete’s more inspired by his pooch than by his wife, or so it would seem. He’s put Hem in some of Fall Out Boy’s music vids, and Wentzy’s even slapped the dog’s mug on his Clandestine clothing line. We’d rather wear a shirt with an adorable bulldog on it than anything off of Ashlee’s Wet Seal stuff.

Tori Spelling and her late pug, Mimi La Rue: Dearly departed Mimi was a bigger hit on Tori’s reality show than hub-unit Dean (and had more of a personality). When she passed away earlier this year, Tor even had a funeral for the pretty pug. At least now T.S. has another tot to play with—though we can’t imagine baby Stella being any good at catching balls in her mouth.

Paris Hilton and her Chihuahua, Tinkerbell: Par’s rarely seen with her once-inseparable companion; Tink’s been replaced with an absurd number of other animals, from kinkajous to Benji Madden. B.M. should take this as a warning on how Pare-poo treats her pets when she’s bored with them.

Britney Spears and her Yorkie, London: Seemed like this British-named puppy was the only living thing B.S. could trust back then—or maybe it was L who was the source of all of Spearsy’s trubs? Could London have been talking to Brit-Brit à la the Son of Sam, telling her to do such heinous things?
