Oprah has dedicated today's show to her beloved cocker spaniel Sophie, who passed away last month at the age of 13. Sophie had been suffering from kidney failure. It's been an especially hard year for Oprah, pup-wise, as she lost her other dog Gracie in July when she chocked on a plastic ball. Today's show is on puppy mills, and contributor Lisa Ling presents what's said to be a great ? but hard to watch ? documentary on the mills. Oprah's staff decided to surprise her by opening the show with a tribute to Sophie featuring movies and photos. Unfortunately they didn't realize just how emotional it would make her, and they had to stop filming after she completely broke down.

That's so sweet and sad. Clearly Oprah's staff members were well-intentioned. People love their animals differently, but it's pretty clear that Oprah's dogs are her kids. There must be this bittersweet relationship with them, knowing that she'll likely outlive the animals she loves so deeply. I can't blame her for breaking down ? a month isn't long in the grieving process.
Naomi Campbell is up to trouble again! The British supermodel was arrested at London's Heathrow Airport on Thursday for allegedly spitting at a police officer. Campbell was reportedly placed under arrest for assault on police in Terminal 5 of the airport, home to British Airways PLC.

Campbell has a history of bad behavior. In 2000, she pleaded guilty to assaulting an assistant but was released without punishment. In January 2007, Campbell pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault for throwing her cell phone at her maid. She was ordered to attend anger management classes and complete five days of community service.
George Clooney loves tormenting the extras on his movies.

The 46-year-old star has revealed he made the minor actors on his 2005 film "Good Night, and Good Luck" roll in mud for a scene he never intended to use.

George recalled: "I kept them on for an extra three or four days and told them we had to do reshoots in the mud."

"I kept them on pay for almost a week. We kept bringing them out to the set and then sending them home."

"Then finally, on the last day, we had them rolling around in a big tub of mud. We stood them with the green screen and shot them but we told them we didn't really need the shot. That was funny."

George - who both directs and stars in new American football movie "Leatherheads" - believes you have to be vain to combine the roles of actor and filmmaker.
Although the Internet was abuzz last weekend with rumors of Brangelina nuptials, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie remain happily un-married for the third year running. And while they may be content with their marital status, some other people in their lives aren't.

Brad's mom, Jane, has warmed Angelina up to the idea of marriage, but the twice-divorced actress subscribes to the mantra of "if it's not broke, don't fix it."

"Jane has a really hard time with them not being married," the source tells OK!. "She feels that they need to be married for the kids."

As for Brad, the actor "would love to marry her but doesn't want to force her, and I've never seen Brad so happy."

BOBBY BROWN has hit back at reports his upcoming autobiography will be nothing more than an attack on his ex-wife Whitney Houston insisting he has nothing bad to say about her.

Publishing insiders claimed Brown's memoirs, Being Bobby Brown: The Truth, The Whole Truth And Nothing But..., would be nothing but a nasty expose on his ex, but the R+B star insists nothing could be further from the truth.

Brown tells In Touch magazine, "I don't have anything bad to say about her. She should have no worries. There's no mess in this book."

Instead, Brown plans to talk about legal and drug problems and reveal he romanced Janet Jackson and Madonna.

He adds, "The book is really good. I'm not a complex person.

"I'm just trying to maintain a certain amount of integrity - and a certain amount of bad boy-ness.

"I think the story needs to be told from my point of view. I still have kids that are in school right now so I have to do what I have to do. Daddy doesn't stop working."
He is a 65-year-old grandfather who has had more than his fair share of heartbreak. But, right now, Sir Paul McCartney is grinning like a teenager in the first flush of love.

Strolling through the lobby of the exclusive Carlyle hotel in New York, following a romantic week-long trip to Antigua with stunning American millionairess Nancy Shevell, the former Beatle glowed as he gave waiting fans his famous 'thumbs-up' sign - something ex-wife Heather Mills banned him from doing on the grounds of its 'cheesiness'.

Even the nearby presence of Heather, the woman who appears hell-bent on destroying him, for a pre-agreed handover of their daughter Bea could do nothing to ruin his new-found equanimity as he stepped into a waiting car and on to a dinner date with Nancy.

"He is really happy and determined to enjoy life again," says one of his close friends.

"And he believes Nancy is the key."

There has been a long line of eligible women queuing up to hold the hand of McCartney since his split from Heather two years ago.
