He's in my new film — it's his first part. I think he wants to be a big old movie star because when I was on Broadway, he jumped on stage in the middle of a performance." — Chastain, telling The View co-hosts about her three-legged rescue dog

"There are so many animals in need it almost doesn't make sense to breed and support that. I can't even believe how many animals get killed every day in shelters because there's no room.

"Her name is Penny, and she's a little tiny teacup frilly dog. So, people come on set and are like 'Oh, whose dog is that?' And we say 'It's Penn [Badgley's] dog.' … And then they say, "Oh, what's its name?' And we say 'Penny,' which makes him seem like this narcissistic Paris Hilton dude." — Lively on her dog

"I've been glued to the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. My dog Sid's parents were champion dogs and he's got the best bone structure! I feel like a mum — I'd love to put Sid in a show but don't want to pressure him into anything he might not want to do.'' — Kelly Osbourne

"Mikey has pretty much taken over my own Twitter account. I feel like because he's so new right now, I am a total psycho. It's novel and it's new, and every moment is documented. I hope I don't start a Twitter for him. I feel like then I will be one of those crazy people. Although by the time this comes out in March, who knows? Maybe he'll have his own TV show." — Ritter on her dog

"He has total freedom on the set. We'll all be working hard, and then he'll walk by and everyone will be like, 'Awww, Bebe!'

"He gets along with pretty much everybody. I have never seen him mad. I have never seen him agitated; I have never seen him having a bad day." — Stewart on her dog Genghis Khan
