Has anyone bothered to post/look at this?

Rescue group in Iggy dispute suspended in ‘06
Mutts & Moms’ suspension is still in effect, so Ellen’s contract may be void

LOS ANGELES - As the controversy over Ellen’s dog adoption gone awry continues, Access Hollywood has learned that Mutts & Moms may have other business issues to contend with that could affect their position in the Iggy dispute.

According to the California Secretary of State’s Web site, the Mutts & Moms corporation has been suspended since December 2006, when they failed to file a “statement of information.”

Access Hollywood has verified the corporation is still suspended as of today.

The “statement of information” is a document that lists who their officers are. However, as soon as the form is submitted, the agency can revive their corporation.

As a result of the suspension, enforcing the contract with Ellen and Portia may be impossible for the agency, as both the original adoption of Iggy and the date the agency reclaimed possession of the pet happened after the suspension began.

Access Hollywood has placed a call to Mutts & Moms, as well as their attorney, for comment. No response was received at the time of publication.

I bet Oprah is pissed that no one is talking about her thyroid and Iggy and Ellen are getting all the attention.

If the contract was null and void, then they stull wouldn't be entitled to the dog I don't think. We need cooperross to come back and regale us with her legal expertise!

O'REILLY: Here is what I would have done, and you tell me what — where I'm wrong. If I'm your client and Ellen DeGeneres violates the adoption rule, which she did and she admits it and that was wrong, and she brings the dog and gives it to an 11 and 12-year-old girl who are responsible, I guess. And they love the dog.

I tried to work that out. I tried to say, "OK, we'll file adoption papers from this." We'll put in that Ms. DeGeneres did a wrong thing, but for the good of the dog and the children, we'll try to make it happen. You see what I mean?

FINK: Yes. That's what we did do. And that's not what Ellen says on her television show. We did offer this family the ability to come in and file adoption papers. But Ellen DeGeneres wants it Ellen DeGeneres' way. She refused, and the family refused to come in and fill out the adoption papers.

What they — what Ellen should have done when she was discarding the dog is call us and say, "Look, I don't want the dog anymore. I met this loving family. They have two great kids. Will you consider the family?"

Of course we would have.

O'REILLY: OK. Now let me stop you. So you're saying — and I want to get this on the record — that the family, the hairdresser, Ellen's friend, wouldn't come in and fill out the paperwork to get Iggy? You're saying that flat out: they would not do it?

FINK: Flat out, and I have the e-mails.

O'REILLY: OK. Now, why wouldn't they do it if the little girls want — the young girls wanted the dog? Why wouldn't they fill it out?

FINK: I've been in California my whole life. I love this state, but unfortunately, we have a segment here I call the Hollywood culture. And I put Ellen DeGeneres, as it relates to this incident, in that culture, because Ellen DeGeneres, she is powerful. She is wealthy. She has a phalanx of lawyers. And Ellen DeGeneres is going to do it her way.

And her way was, "I'm not filling out the paperwork. I want it to go to this family. And if you don't listen to me, the weight of my lawyers is going to come down on you, and then I'm going to use my media on you."

Real attorneys appear in a suit with a coat and tie on when they go on national television.

And my god, does EVERYONE in California have an attorney???

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Posted: 10/19/07 at 5:49pm

Most businesses and entertainers do, yes.

I didn't realize they had to appear that way. Will he be disbarred because of it?

[Wilhelmina]

"And my god, does EVERYONE in California have an attorney???"

Yes...because you never know when Lohan or Spears will run you over.

Yes.


Mine is on retainer.



You don't think I'm this big of a bitch without a lawyer, do you?

Well, in your photo you ARE standing next to Miss Jennifer Holliday...you never know when she could pull a knife. Bitch'll cut you! lol

This story has more twists and turns than Lombard St., LOL. Who'd have thought that Bill O'Reilly would be the one to set the record straight! He asked the right questions.

Okay, so they've placed Iggy with another family whose name will not be released to protect their privacy.

How long will it take TMZ to get a photo of Iggy in a properly fenced in backyard?

This is a great example where people rush to judgement based on emotion. Now that the facts are coming to light I hope they see this for what it is: an abuse by Ellen of the influence she wields.
Long after Iggy is safe and all this is forgotten, what people will remember is that Ellen isn't as trustworthy as she appears.

"Shart?" What a fabulous new word! TMI, but fabulous~

It's the smoothies.

I'm addicted to Robeck's...


As a matter of fact, I'm enjoying a razzleberry smoothie as we speak (er, type).

Shart is not a new word. Phillip Seymour Hoffman used it in the movie Along Came Polly with Ben Stiller to explain why he had to leave a party.

I loved that film! I guess I don't remember hearing that word.
