Trashy Celebs

Not to end the week on a bad note but Tori Spelling’s beloved pug Mimi LaRue sadly passed away on Tuesday at the ripe old pug age of 11. Mimi died less than a week after Tori and husband Dean celebrated the birth of their new daughter.

Spelling tells People.com, “She was a star and a true lady, and she will be missed greatly. People everywhere knew her by name. I loved when fans wanted her over me. I felt proud.”

The actress reveals the pug had battled medical problems for years, and she says she believes the pooch waited until she had given birth to Stella on June 9, before dying. Spelling adds, “I’m devastated. I’m convinced she waited around to make sure I had the daughter I always dreamt about before she left us.”

Obviously we’re big pug fans here at Trashy Celebs with our own pug Muriel serving as the occasional guest columnist. But we’re happy to hear that Mimi went peacefully at home surrounded by her family. We can tell from all the pictures of Tori doting on her that she lived a good life, with minimal amounts of peeing on new rugs. Yes Muriel, we’re talking to you. Not that peeing on our new rug makes us love you any less but really, can’t you do it on the crunked up rug in the basement?

Anyway, goodnight sweet Mimi, you’ll be missed.

So we’re always wondering what our dog Muriel is thinking. Sure we occasionally let her lose on Trashy Celebs but it’s usually to comment on animal related issues like the Michael Vick Trial or The Westminster Dog show. Today was a slow news day at least in terms of celebs doing nasty, nasty things (at least by our standards) so we decided to prob Muriel’s past. First we sat her down to her favorite meal of Basil spice thai chicken and a bottle of Jameson whiskey and went ahead with our prob.

Trashy Celebs: So Muriel, we know you come from a farm in Virginia but we really don’t know a whole lot about your past.

Muriel: I AM IN FACT FROM A FARM IN VIRGINIA BUT MY FAMILY ROOTS GO MUCH DEEPER THAN A MODEST AGRICULTURAL BACK GROUND.

TC: Really, we always assumed your mom and dad both enjoyed a fragrant feast of kitty turds.

Muriel: THAT IS NOT THE CASE AT ALL. IN FACT MY GREAT, GREAT GRANDMOTHER ENJOYED QUITE A TURN AS A HOLLYWOOD LEADING LADY.

TC: Oh Muriel, I’m not so sure we believe you on that one. I think you’re just trying to get a heaping mound of Snasauges.

Muriel: THAT IS NOT THE CASE OWNER AMY. HERE I HAVE FOUND A YOUTUBE CLIP OF GREAT GRANDMA THE PUG MURGATROYD (AKA QUEENIE) IN HER FIRST STARING ROLE. AND DONUT JUDGE ME. GREAT GRANDMA MURGATROYD DID FALL VICTIM TO THE HOLLYWOOD CASTING COUCH.

TC: Ok, let’s take a look

TC: Ok, wow that is disturbing.

Muriel: YES SHE COULD PUT IT AWAY WITH THE BEST OF THEM. FUNNY STORY, IN THE END SHE MARRIED THAT LUSH BULLDOG PASSED OUT IN THE PLAID CAP.

TC: Dammit! I knew you weren’t a purebred. No wonder you were cheap.

I really wanted to sit on my but and watch Top Chef tonight instead of writing a Trashy Celebs entry. Thankfully, our pug Muriel was in LA on assignment yesterday. Muriel along with socialites Bobby Trendy, and Kim Kardashian were on hand at the launch party for Tori Spelling’s new tell-all book sTORI Telling.

So Muriel what happened at the party? Are things still tense between Tori and her mom Candy Spelling?

Muriel: THAT I DONUT KNOW. I SPENT MOST OF THE NIGHT TALKING SHOP WITH THE MOM TORI’S PUG, MIMI LA RUE.

Oh, Ok. Well did Mimi dish any dirt about Tori’s finances or if she really is as in love with her husband Dean as the Oxygen network makes her out to be.

Muriel: THAT I ALSO DONUT KNOW. WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT MIMI LARUE IS NOT LIKING FRILLY DRESSES SHE IS MADE TO WEAR. SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WANTS TO LEAD THE GLAMOUROUS LIFE, SHE DONUT NEED MAN’S TOUCH, BUT WITHOUT LOVE, IT AIN’T MUCH.

So you’re saying that Tori is neglecting Mimi and concentrating more on her son Liam…wait, did you just quote a Shelia E song?

Muriel: I DONUT KNOW THE SOURCE OF MY WISDOM BUT MIMI TELLS ME SOME DAYS SHE JUST WANTS TO WEAR SWEATS AND NOT SWEATS THAT SAY “JUICY” ON THEM.

I get it, Mimi just wants to be a regular dog who plays outside chasing sticks.

Muriel: CHASING STICKS? WHAT PART OF THE CRACK PILE PIPE ARE YOU SMOKING? MIMI JUST WANTS A NIGHT AT HOME MAYBE IN AN OLD NAVY DOG POLO WITH THE COLLAR POPPED AND NOT OUT EVERY NIGHT WITH THE POOPOOROOTZZI FLASHING THE FLASH FLASHERS AT HER.

Gotcha, well since Tori is having baby number two maybe she’ll slow down. That way Mimi La Rue can have time at home to find new places to leave little pug bombs like you do.

Muriel:I DO THAT BECAUSE I AM BORED WITH THE BACKYARD! DONUT LIKE THE BACKYARD. BACKYARD IS VERY LIMITING.

On that note, my dog and I need to have ourselves a little talk and I need to get some more Nature’s Miracle.
