Doggie Adoption Takes DeGeneres to Ellen Back

Life's a bitch for Ellen DeGeneres. According to TMZ, when the talk show host and her girlfriend Portia de Rossi adopted a Brussels griffon mix named Iggy from Mutts and Moms, they thought everything would be hunky-dory. It wasn't — the pooch didn't mix with their cats. So they let DeGeneres' hairdresser have the mutt for her two kids. Again, they thought everything would be hunky-dory. It wasn't. M&Ms informed them that DeGeneres had violated the terms of their agreement by giving away the dog without informing them. Furthermore, a rep for the agency told the AP that DeGeneres was "trying to tell a story to make herself look good." He added, "She got rid of the dog not because it didn't get along with the cats. She didn't like the dog." Y'know, if it were a Britney or a Paris who was playing round robin with an animal, I'd say, "By all means, move in and take action — now!" But Ellen and Portia... uh, I think their judgment can probably be trusted. — Ben KatnerPO...
