Bonnie Hunt “Bonnie Hunt Show” Promotes Pet Adoption

58th Annual ACE Eddie Awards - Arrivals

Bonnie Hunt features a pet adoption segment twice a month on her daytime talk show, the Bonnie Hunt Show.

The animals get their own video promos on Bonnie’s website, along with their background information, which makes it look very similar to an online dating service.

Maybe that’s why Hunt’s adoption feature is such a hit.

From Tails Inc.:

“It is entertaining when you see all these dogs and hear their stories when the rescue people come out and say, “We found this one at the railroad tracks, and we named her this. She’s about 2 years old, and we don’t know her story.” They try to figure out the mix. And then you just see some great family with three kids come and pick up the dog. It’s great.”

Growing up, Hunt and her mother welcomed a slew of animals into the home, even though her father was a little apprehensive about it.

“My dad would say, “We can’t do this. Not another one.” And then he would love them more than anybody. That was the whole premise of those Beethoven movies I did earlier in my career, where I played the mom who was like, “We’ll take the dog and hide it from dad.”

Pregnant Carnie Wilson Gives Up Red Meat

Don Henley Honored At The 2007 MusiCares Person Of The Year - Arrivals

While being with child makes some women start eating things they normally wouldn’t, Carnie Wilson is giving up something instead-red meat.

The singer who most people associate as one third of the 90s band trio Wilson Phillips, said on The Bonnie Hunt Show, “I don’t eat red meat anymore. Now I am just a cheese freak because of the pregnancy. I can’t stop with the cheese. And bagels.”

She’s also know for her ups and down weightwise, being public about her gastric bypass surgery a decade ago and has appeared on Celebrity Fit Club.

To get healthier, she did lose 50 pounds before the pregnancy, but nowadays she’s just trying to have fun and eat healthy versus obsessive restriction.

“I feel like the word ‘diet’ is not a great word because we know that diets don’t work. I say [to daughter Lola], ‘Let’s just eat healthy. This is good for you. Let’s just eat more of the healthy stuff.’ ”

Kudos to Carnie for realizing “the healthy stuff” isn’t red meat.

Milo Ventimiglia Was Vegetarian In Mother’s Womb

Heroes Stars Meet Fans In Sydney

Milo Ventimiglia was eating vegetarian in his mother’s womb.

Something about that line just doesn’t sound right. But that’s okay because it’s actually a good thing!

Milo Ventimiglia, who plays Peter Petrelli on “Heroes” appeared on the Bonnie Hunt show a few days ago where he spoke about being a vegetarian all his life.

Milo jokes that he tells people he was a “vegetarian in the womb.” His mother was vegetarian while pregnant with him and his entire family was veg while he was growing up, including the dog (who he jokingly suggests had issues with it because he bit him).

We think he may have had a Joaquin Phoenix experience as well. He discusses that as a teenager he tried different things, see “what everybody was going crazy about,” which ended in “bad results” for him.

Watch the video for more. Word of warning: If you get a chance to meet him, don’t make the same mistake Bonnie did and ask him about dating co-star Hayden Panettiere!
