This was the Week Of The Dog in the world of pop culture/law collisions!
Early this week, the Orange County D.A.’s office threw Shante Broadus – Snoop Dogg’s wife – a bone when it decided not to move forward with a June DUI case against her. The D.A.’s office now says it doesn’t have enough evidence “to prove her driving was impaired” by marijuana. Apparently, the D.A. had never met Snoop Dogg!
Next, Michael Vick, who is currently serving a 23-month jail sentence for animal abuse, filed for bankruptcy this week. According to the court documents, he is $10-$50 million in debt. In short, he is now both morally and financially bankrupt!
And, finally, Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook reached a settlementthis week in their widely publicized divorce trial. Peter, the now infamous dog, will get $2.1 million, while Christie gets custody of the kids and her boat, “Sweet Freedom.” Um…isn’t that what Peter thought he had during their marriage?!?

Michael Vick, an admitted animal abuser, is now both morally and financially bankrupt. According to these court documents, he is between $10-$50 million in debt! Popsquire hopes that by the time his July 2009 release date comes, he finds himself in even more financial troubles.
There is no sympathy for dog abusers in the Popsquire household.
Popsquire is sad for Tori Spelling. The tv star — whose estrangement from her family is no secret — is mourning the loss of Mimi LaRue, her 11-year-old pug who passed away yesterday.
“I’m devastated,” Tori tells People, revealing that Mimi had suffered from medical problems relating to her hips and neck for years. “I’m convinced she waited around to make sure I had the daughter I always dreamt about before she left us.”
Because you are a faithful Popsquire follower, you may remember that Popsquire broke the (urgent) story last week that Janice Dickinsonlost her eight-week-old puppy.
Good news — TMZ captured this reunion on camera yesterday.
In this Perez post, Ashley Tisdale carries her fluggy dog, Maui, on the streets of West Hollywood. Doggone it, Popsquire doesn’t see a leash. Do you?
Many cities require dogs to remain on leash in public. In Los Angeles, for example, violators may be fined anywhere from $25 to $65 for breaking LA’s Municipal Code.
Popsquire dedicates this En Vogue classic to Ashley and anyone else who takes their pet in public….
In this Perez post, Rihanna carries her snuggly dog, DJ, as they leave Barney’s in Beverly Hills over the weekend. Popsquire trusts that the leash is simply hidden by the photog’s angle, but it’s important to remind everyone that many cities require dogs to remain on leash in public.
