Hoping to change environmental laws and sporting bangs, Hayden Panettiere hosted last night’s benefit for the Whaleman Foundation in Hollywood.

FYI, the Whaleman Foundation is an oceanic research, conservation and production organization dedicated to preserving and protecting dolphins, whales, and their ocean habitat.

Ashley Tisdale and her extremely cute dog, Maui, hung out in LA yesterday, but she’s lucky the police didn’t hang her out to dry with a dog leash law fine.

Keep your pets safe by putting them on a leash, even if you are carrying them!

This is beyond sad.  Jessica Simpson’s dog was taken by a coyote.

Jessica posted this message on Twitter: “My heart is broken because a coyote took my precious Daisy right in front of our eyes. HORROR! We are searching. Hoping. Please help!”

Of course, Popsquire is wondering if Jessica was obeying dog leash laws at the time.  It’s probably not the time to lecture, but just something to think about…

Congrats to Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel for following Los Angeles leash laws over the weekend.

Why can’t Matthew McConaughey ever do the same?!

Popsquire is a huge animal rights supporter, so there is no love lost on Michael Vick.  However, the guy served his time and says he will volunteer with animal rights organizations.  Let’s give him a shot.

For today’s congratulatory collision between pop culture and law, let’s applaud 30 Rock’s Tracy Morgan for obeying NYC’s dog leash laws.

He should teach Matthew McConaughey and Mischa Barton to do the same!

Mischa Barton is back at work on the NYC set of her upcoming CW show, following her recent 5150 stint.

[Pacific Coast News]

It’s good to see her back at work, BUT why is only one dog on a leash?  Either someone else is walking that dog, or her character better get fined for violating NYC dog leash laws!

Congrats to Justin Timberlake for obeying LA’s dog leash laws.

Congrats to Kendra Wilkinson for obeying Los Angeles leash laws over the weekend.

PS: The law requires her to keep her dogs on leash, but not to lift her leg like them!

While Popsquire typically gives celebs a hard time for not obeying dog leash laws, but this video is just too hilarious to point out the obvious legal issues.  Plus, there’s no celeb, so it’s technically not within my jurisdiction anyway.  Watch!

Kudos to Janice Dickinson for obeying Los Angeles leash laws while walking her dog yesterday.  It’s also good to see this puppy — who once went missing — all grown up!
