‘The Fighter’ Micky Ward Hospitalized After Dog Attack

“Irish” Micky Ward (the championship boxer portrayed by Mark Wahberg in The Fighter) got in a scuffle with a stray dog Wednesday and was injured.

TMZ reports that Ward was hospitalized for dog bites some time after the attack and is expected to remain there until Sunday.

Apparently, Ward was approached by an aggressive stray dog when walking his own dog.

As any loving pet owner would but probably shouldn’t, fighting champ or not, Micky got in between the dogs and got attacked instead.

He suffered bites on his arm and his right index finger was “almost taken off” by the attack. And as for Micky’s dog? He left the scene untouched. 

Micky, you’re my hero!

DWTS’ Maksim Chmerkovskiy Wants You To Walk Your Dog! (Photos)

SuperModel Cindy Crawford and a number of her celebrity friends including Dancing with the Stars‘ SuperHottie Maksim Chmerkovskiy attended the Propel Zero to 1000 Celebrity Dog-Walking Event in Malibu, CA Saturday.

As the new face of Propel Zero, Cindy is helping inspire men and women go from Zero to 1000 in 2011 – that’s 1000 minutes of moving this year – by committing to moving just 20 more minutes a week.

The Malibu event aimed to increase awareness for the benefits of an active lifestyle and raise money for Much Love, a non-profit organization dedicated to the well-being of animals.

Maksim joked that his own pet bulldog was named “Sleep” because those types of dogs are supposed to be calm, but, apparently his didn’t get the memo…


Here are some photos of Maks and Cindy from the event:

Cindy and DWTS’s Maksim Chmerkovskiy were (jokingly) worried the photographers would start rumors about them as they posed together for a two-shot at the Propel Zero to 1000 celebrity dog walk event.

Tracy Morgan Hates My Dog

CELEBRITY ENCOUNTER.

Tracy Morgan was not having it. Not today anyway.

I was sipping coffee, sitting obliviously at a table outside in the sun near The Grove when my dog Jovi started going crazy…just plain nuts. As if world war 3 was about to commence and she was the world’s last line of defense. So, I look up to see what has caused this commotion and see this man walking his pit bull towards us. The pit bull’s mere presence had fired up my little 17-pound Lhasa Apso to the rescue. As if little Lhasa, as if.

I apologized to the gentleman walking his pit bull. To my surprise, I heard a familiar voice respond, “Your dog is ferocious”. I was like, shit, that’s Tracy Morgan of 30 Rock. “Mr. Morgan, I love your show!!!!!!!” I yelped, half in sincere excitement, half trying to kiss ass and diffuse the situation. Tracy wasn’t having it. “Your dog is still ferocious” he said, as he walked away shaking his head. That may have been the funniest thing ever.

After I collected myself, I looked down at Jovi who is just sitting there all innocent with the expression, “Why u lookin’ at me like that?” written all over her face. It’s a good thing I love that feisty bitch.
