We send condolences to Mickey Rourke who this weekend lost his longtime companion, Loki his 17-year-old Chihuahua whom he thanked in his Golden Globe speech for always being there for him.

Also, I spotted an excellent Peta ad on a billboard in West Hollywood yesterday starring Rourke and one of his other dogs, Jaws.  I don't know how it is in your neighborhood but LA is filled with people (dudes especially, sorry but it's true) who refuse to neuter their dogs.  I think this ABC (Animal Birth Control) campaign is brilliant…

And finally, if you need a good laugh about our economy watch this parody of The Wrestler by the guys at Funny or Die.  It's caled The Uncler, as in Uncle Sam, a down on his luck former star desperate to make a comeback.  Enjoy!

Good luck at the Oscars, Mickey.  
If you win, maybe it will be a good omen for Uncle Sam too!

    Mickey really won me over when he spoke about his dogs at the Golden Globes…aside from the fact that he was amazing in The Wrestler. I hope he wins the Academy Award in honor of sweet Loki.
