News, Reviews & Commentary on Lesbian and Bisexual women in Entertainment and the Media

A woman's best friend

I know you have an opinion on the Ellen brouhaha. So do I. So does, well, everybody. But I believe that in the midst of the most heated controversy, we can find common ground. Women. We all love women. And where you find women who love women, you find women who love animals. In the spirit of unity, then, let's look at women we love and their pets. OK, yes, it's an excuse to post pictures of cute women. Starting with Joss Stone and Dusty.

Ashlee Simpson and Blondie (I know, I know. But Blondie is adorable.)

Jessica Biel with East

Edie Falco and Marley

Idina Menzel, dog Sammy Davis and some guy named Taye

Rihanna with Oliver

Renee Zellweger and Dylan

Hilary Duff with Lola

Mischa Barton and Charlie

Before you post any accusatory comments, please understand: I have cats. I tried my best to find pictures of women with their kitties. But — and you know this if you have cats — felines tend not to do mundane things like pose for pictures. Feel free to share any you find. Be careful what search terms you use. Trust me.

Do pictures of celebrities with their pets change your opinion of them? Who's your favorite animal-loving woman?

    I love this Tegan & Sara pic...

    ...with some random dog. I photoshopped the original Peta-ad-thing and the result is this: http://s222.photobucket.com/albums/dd126/_Robin91_/?action=view&current=TeganSara5.jpg

     

    Cute, huh?

    Animal lover...

    I too am a pet lover and think the world of my girl Xena (a doberman pincher).

    Out of all the pictures you posted I'd have to say that Rihanna's dog has a leg up on the competition (so to speak).

    I think that Oprah and her dogs are adorable... did you see the "O" cover where Oprah appeared with her dogs?  The dogs were beautiful.

    Xena!

    Hah!  I have a cat named Xena.  :D 

    God, we're so gay.  :P

    Xena!

    Haha, we have a dog named Xena. She was young and had been abused when we got her. Her previous owners had actually named her Timid, which she was...because they hurt her! So we picked an exact opposite for a new name and she blossomed. My other dog is named Styx, to go with the theme.

    Uh...

    What the heck kind of dog is that that Rihanna has?  I don't know whether I think it's cute or hideous.  It looks like a cross between a stuffed bear, a Tribble and an Ewok.  In any event, that dog disturbs me.

    KITTIE!

    I absolutely adore dogs (I have two, myself) but I think this kitten is the most adorable animal in this whole post.

    Wabbit.

    First, I friggen love Kate Beckinsale.

    Second, Kate let her daughter name the cat... She talked about it in an interview she did with, I think, Conan O'Brien. *nerd*

    ~It means pride.~

    There's also Delilah and I think she just recently got another dog. All of her dogs are rescues. Go Charlize.



    Jennifer Jason Leigh has a dog called Otis. Yes, the same dog as in her film "The Anniversary Party" :)

    Jodie Foster? Has a dog (Lucy), a mouse (Lily), nameless fish and a cat.

    I don't get it...

    "And where you find women who love women, you find women who love animals"

    Why is that?

    Am I really the only lesbian who doesn't own (or want) pets?

    starLisa's picture

    You aren't the only one

    You aren't the only one.  Neither my partner nor I want pets.  I had a cat a couple of times.  I like them, but I don't want to be responsible for one.  And I don't want to be inconvenienced by one.  I prefer my animals cooked or in the zoo.
    FantabulousMe's picture

    Hmm?

    Do a poll to find out if you are.. I own 2 cats, and a hamster that has no name so...

    maeve quinlan + mr. g

    ...he was even on the We're Getting Nowhere vlog with her :)

     

    Seeing almost anyone with a dog makes me like 'em more, especially when it's a non-tiny dog.

    Famke and Licorice!

    Seeing as I have a Boston Terrier too, I'd put my vote in for Famke Janssen and Licorice, she's hot and she also supports PETA (if you're see her lovely ads in Curve magazine!)

    I'd loved the episode of Ellen when Famke was a guest and Ellen gave her an X-men suit for Licorice
