She alone probably wouldn't count as a celebrity, was the dog well known?

A tragedy none the less. If MMChops doesn't know a country singer they aren't a celebrity.

Not a celebrity as such, but a bit of a coincidence all the same...

I never got the fascination with this programme. All that wiggly stuff and oblique narrative was annoying. I just thought get on with it. Noah and Nelly was much better imo.

I liked "Dream Doll" - starts out a bit of a giggle but is actually a touching tale.
