DogGate Update: Ellen’s Iggy has a new home!
OMG, you guys: Ellen DeGeneres’s beloved (by people other than her) pooch Iggy has already found a new home!:
“Keith A. Fink, the attorney for Mutts and Moms owner Maria Batkis … said that another home has been found for the dog although he was not able to say for certain that the dog has been physically given to the new owner yet.”
This being Hollywood, lawsuits have been threatened. Ellen’s publicist Kelly Bush left a message on Batkis’ phone machine, which was played this morning on “Good Morning America:”
“We’re filing a legal case against you. We’re going to be contacting the media. This is not going to be good for your store or your organization.”
Fink (unfortunate name in this case, but appropriate for an attorney) replied: “If Ellen’s object was to destroy my client to get her way she has done that. My client is destroyed.”
As goes Mr. Fink’s client, so goes the nation.
David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place.
