Christina Hendricks: My Dog Has the Same Hair as Me!

After three years of marriage, Christina Hendricks and husband Geoffrey Arend are expanding their family – with a cockapoo puppy.

And, as the saying goes: like mother, like daughter!

"She has the same hair as me!" the actress, who plays Joan Harris on Mad Men, gushed to journalist Peter Travers in a recent interview.

Though photos show the furball is a brunette, perhaps Hendricks, 37, was alluding to those cascading waves; the actress has wavy hair, too, however she recently cropped it into a bob.

Feathers were ruffled at Monday's Arrested Development premiere. Literally.

As the show's most famous faces, from Jason Bateman to Portia de Rossi, stepped out to celebrate the much-awaited new season, it was a flawlessly coiffed, well-mannered ostrich who emerged as the night's biggest star.

The bird walked the red carpet with all the grace and composure of a veteran actor, so much so, we couldn't tell if the feathered star was just winging it. And no stylist, no problem: This buddy went all-natural for the event, which celebrated the show's comeback season launching May 26 on Netflix.

Mike Tyson: Ex-Girlfriend Cooked and Ate My Pigeon

Originally posted 04/26/2013 11:35AM

In what almost seems like a scene out of Fatal Attraction, former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson recounted how an ex-girlfriend boiled and ate one his pet pigeons.

Speaking Thursday on the WFAN's Boomer & Carton show, Tyson, who lives near Las Vegas and has raised pigeons since before his boxing career, said he was aghast by what went down.

"I was dating this young lady and she said, 'I don't know why you're flying those damn birds, you should be eating them,' " Tyson, 46, told the hosts. "She happened to grab one – and she cooked one and proceeded to eat it. And I just couldn't do it."

Jenna Morasca's Blog: Why You Should Adopt an Older Dog

Originally posted 04/23/2013 11:10AM

Last August, Survivor winner Jenna Morasca went to a shelter and brought home the unexpected: an older dog with her share of "quirks". Have you ever known a dog to throw bones in the air like a quarterback? That's pit bull Bobbi-Ricki's trick and in a very short time, Morasca has become quite the wide receiver. Here, the reality star talks about the perks of adopting an older pup and why you should consider doing it too.

As human beings we value the experience that comes with age. We are reminded over and over again with statements like "older and wiser" and "respect your elders," promoting age as something to be cherished and respected.

This is why when you walk into one of the many animal shelters across the country, they're usually filled with animals that are older, or, as I like to say, wiser.

Between her ever-expanding trophy collection and menagerie of mutts, Miranda Lambert has a full house – and both she and husband Blake Shelton prefer it that way.

"He's used to it now," Lambert, 29, tells PEOPLE about how Shelton has learned to accept her penchant for taking in stray animals, though she admits, "At first I think he was like, 'What's going on? We have a zoo.' "

Case in point: Last month, after bringing home a dog she found by the side of the highway, the country star named him Pistol Andy (in honor of her girl group the Pistol Annies) and attempted to find him a home. And she did – kind of.
