Lucky Diamond does the Emmy's

EMMYS and DOGGIES! Lucky Found Anna Nicole Smith’s Dogs!

Now that Greatest American Dog has sadly ended, Lucky is finally willing to travel. Before, each Wednesday night, she would be glued to the TV to make sure she was caught at all the right angles. I on the other hand stayed far away from the TV because I feared they caught me at all the wrong angles. Lucky wouldn’t tell me. So thankfully, Lucky agreed to travel to LA with me this weekend for an Emmy-party-packed weekend. Although something tells me Lucky was very excited to go to LA because her little tail was spinning so fast I thought she was going to turn into a helicopter and fly to LA on her own.

Before Lucky could air-left herself out of NYC she had a play date with Ginger, the rowdy and adorable Chihuahua of my dear friend, Jill Zarin of Bravo’s Real Housewives of New York. While Lucky and Ginger did some sniffing, Jill and I did some harmless gossiping (definitely no sniffing) and we let dogs be dogs. After the play date, Jill took me to the Celine Dion concert at Madison Square Garden. I had to leave Lucky behind because I didn’t want Jill’s Ginger to get upset, (after all, you never want to upset a Zarin). At the pre-party we ran into Oprah’s “BFF4L,” Gayle King, who was happy and chatty about her own little dog, Spencer.

Celine’s concert was an absolute thrill ride. Going to see her is certainly a dream come true for any woman (and a select few men). That woman has some pipes and I just go nuts anytime I hear My Heart Will Go On. After the show we got to speak to Celine and she told me that while she currently has no animals, she would love to rescue some after the tour is over. Before we could really take all those power ballads, Lucky and I were off to LA to bask in some 60th Annual Emmy Award excitement!

Our first stop was the Emmy Performer’s Nominee Reception where Lucky and I spoke Recount nominee Bob Balaban who is one of the stars of our favorite film… Best in Show! I wasn’t sure if I should joke with him about dogs or politics, but I realized there were enough political jokes going on that weekend and as we were chatting he told me he’d love to play a celebrity Santa at our Toys For Dogs event this winter! I nearly fell over as soon as I saw Mad Men star Jon Hamm. Hamm was nominated for his performance in AMC’s hit show, which earned 16 nominations overall and won for Best Drama! Hamm was with his girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt, star of Kissing Jessica Stein. He told me about his own rescue Cora, a mutt that he would “die for” that he got from Much Love in LA (MuchLove.org). Lucky and I also spotted a dog-full of other nominees including Sandra Oh, Jon Cryer, and the Michael Emerson.

Next stop was Entertainment Weekly Pre-Emmy Celebration where Lucky and I saw more stars than we know what to do with. Lucky said it was like a dog park full of celebrities. Lucky and I bumped into a well rested and healthy Kelsey Grammer and High School Musical star Corbin Bleu, who told us he wants to rescue a German Sheppard – preferably a female one because they are a lot cleaner. Isn’t that the truth! Lucky has better hygiene than your average Male Maltese out there. Lucky yapped when she saw Sarah Silverman who just snagged her own two Emmys earlier this week. She said her doggy Doug is doing well and hopes to sniff Lucky sometimes soon. With all the dog lovers around it was nice to run into Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane who is the owner of a “crazy” cat named Chester. We also spotted two former Animal Fair cover stars of the past and present, Lauren Conrad and Erik McCormack!
