Tori Spelling’s precious pug has died. Mimi LaRue, 11, died of natural causes on Tuesday. Tori said, “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!” LaRue died at home and had been suffering from neck and hip problems for years. “I’m devastated. I’m convinced she waited around to make sure I had the daughter I always dreamt about before she left us . . She was not just a dog but a fashion icon and legend amongst Hollywood dogs. She received fan e-mail on a regular basis, and I often joked she got sent more designer clothes than me! She was a loving pet and a true diva to the end.”
The funeral for Tim Russert took place this morning at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Washington D.C. Tim’s son Luke and wife Maureen Orth paid their respects along with a slew of well known individuals. NBC anchor Brian William, Matt Lauer, Tom Brokaw, Maria Shriver, Katie Couric, Bryant Gumball and Senators John Kerry, Barack Obama and John McCain were among those at the memorial service. Luke eulogized his father, keeping it light at times, saying, “My dad’s favorite philosopher was Yogi Berra. He couldn’t get enough Yogi-isms in his life. One of his favorites was ‘You should always go to other people’s funerals because they would come to your funeral.’ And I am sure that Tim Russert will be at all of your funerals.”
Jennifer Lopez made graduation day very special for a lucky group of Staten Island, New York, elementary school students Tuesday. The star dropped into P.S. 37, a school for autistic children, on Tuesday, where she performed “Let’s Get Loud” for a group of eight 10- and 11-year-olds, the Associated Press reports. Teacher Kathy Amati told the AP that after her students saw a video of the song, they wanted to watch it every day, learn the lyrics, and practice Lopez’s dance moves. Inspired, they wrote letters to Lopez, who was so charmed that she decided to come to their graduation.
