It’s no doubt that there is a baby boom happening in celebrity-la-la-land. Nicole Kidman, Gwen Stefani and Minnie Driver recently gave birth and Ashley Simpson, Naomi Watts and Jennifer Garner are all expecting later this year. However, those ladies not carrying babies in their trendy baby slings are most likely toting a furry friend instead. Read on to find out the top ten celebrities who choose leashes over lullabies and dog chow over diapers.
Puppies, not Prams
Oprah prefers the company of her cocker spaniels Sophie and Solomon and her golden retrievers Luke, Layla and Gracie to the pitter-patter of little feet. Oprah, an advocate for animal rights, already has her hands full with these five furry little ones.
7th Heaven Alum Jessica Biel and her dog Tina are often photographed out and about together. Biel, who is currently dating Justin Timberlake, claims that walking her pup is one of the ways she keeps in shape. Although Jessica seems quite content with her pit bull, perhaps some day she and Justin will expand their clan and make room for a teeny tiny Timber-Biel.
Rachel Bilson, from OC fame, chooses the company of her pup, Thurman Murman over a boyfriend and a baby. Bilson and Thurman Murman are constantly strolling around the streets and jet setting to different cities. The fashion icon has found the perfect accessory: a pup.
Another OC star, Mischa Barton, chooses her pooch Charlie over a boyfriend and a baby anyday. Barton claims that Charlie is the only “man” in her life right now and is quite content with it just being the two of them.
Although little sister, Ashley is due at the end of the month with her first babe, Jessica is happy playing Mom to her Maltipoo, Daisy. Jessica, in her Daisy Dukes, and Daisy, with her fluffy white fur, are constantly puttering around LA together. Recently Daisy escorted Jessica to the LAX airport. It seems that Daisy is a seasoned traveller just like her Mom.
Although Hilary Duff’s ex-boyfriend, Joel Madden, is the proud father of 9-month-old Harlowe, Duff is in no rush to become a mommy herself. Instead Duff prefers the company of her Chihuahua, Lola. Although recently linked to Canadian hockey player, Mike Comrie, Hilary still spends plenty of girly time with Lola as they cruise around the streets together.
Gossip Girl Blake Lively has become a permanent fixture in the gossip pages and so has her mini pooch Penny. The adorable blond duo were last seen grabbing a quick drink out and about in Los Angeles.
Lauren Conrad, from The Hills, can often be seen wandering around her neighbourhood with pal, Lauren “Lo” Bosworth and her puppy Chloe. Chloe should make an interesting addition to the TV show that follows the everyday social antics of Lauren, Lo and their party-loving friends. Will Chloe be making an appearance at the many dance clubs they frequent?
But for How Long?
It seems like single, sassy, stroller-free celebrity women everywhere are dog lovers.
Leighton Meister, Drew Barrymore, Paris Hilton, Jennifer Aniston, Scarlett Johansson, Pink and many more all currently choose the company of their favourite pooch over that of a baby.
However, how much longer until these women take the plunge into parenthood as well. One can only wait and see!
