Who’s the Celebrity Pooper Scooper?
Celebrities aren’t generally known for picking up after themselves, let alone their animals, so we have to tip our hats to this poop-scooping star who made a point of cleaning up after his dogthereby keeping the streets of New York City clean and giving his boldfaced bretheren a good name, at least for the time being.
So just who is this considerate actor?
It’s Elijah Wood.
The Lord of the Rings star and his girlfriend, Pamela Racine, took their Chihuahuas (one is out of frame) for a stroll after lunching at L’Orange Bleue Cafe in SoHo.
And while we’re totally on board with his plastic baggy campaign, we’d like to ask one more favor of Elijah: Pick up those leashes! It’s a concrete jungle out there, and if your dogs aren’t flattened by a taxi cab they’re likely to be squashed by a pack of stiletto-wielding fashionistas.
James McAvoy and Anne-Marie Duff’s NYC Stroll
James McAvoy and Anne-Marie Duff’s NYC Stroll
Out in NYC following Thursday’s Los Angeles premiere of his new movie “Wanted”, James McAvoy and wife Anne-Marie Duff were spotted enjoying a romantic walk around Soho on Saturday (June 21).
Strolling around hand-in-hand, the 29-year-old Scottish actor and his actress wife of two years are currently away from their London home as James takes on the promotional duties for “Wanted” while co-star Angelina Jolie readies for the birth of her baby twins.
In related news, during his visit to the States, McAvoy was asked whether he pays much attention to the movie business and the tabloid buzz.
“I don’t spend a lot of time in L.A. I don’t hang out ‘in the industry’ in London. I don’t read all the newspapers and watch E! Entertainment every day,” James tells.
Nonetheless, McAvoy’s approach seems to be working in his favor, as he goes on to tell: “I do notice that I’m finding it easier to do projects that I like, and that’s a very welcome state of affairs. It’s all been a lovely kind of explosion. And I just hope it continues.”

Drawing a close to her visit to New York City, Jessica Simpson packed her bags and headed over to LaGuardia airport on Wednesday to fly back to Dallas, Texas.
As one final stop before her departure, the “Come On Over” singer made time for lunch with a few friends at the Mexican restaurant Dos Caminos in Soho.
Meanwhile, Miss Simpson recently revealed plans to launch a lingerie line as an addition to her existing fashion products.
Jessica told Women’s Wear Daily: “I like different lingerie for different occasions. I think that’s the best thing about it. You can feel sexy or girly depending on your mood.”
Press reports tell that the range, named Jessica Simpson’s Intimates, will hit shelves in major department stores in the US and online beginning spring 2009.

Natalie Portman: Swanky in Soho
Every once in awhile, celebrities need a break from their whirlwind schedules and demanding careers. And Natalie Portman was spotted taking it easy in New York City yesterday.
Joined by her boyfriend Devendra Banhart, the “Garden State” hottie sported a swanky black dress with a pair of strappy silver flats as she made her way through Soho.
On the horizon for the “Other Boleyn Girl” star is a promotional campaign for a youth village in Rwanda financed by American Jewish donors.
The area, built by the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, will be home for 500 children left behind by parents killed during the genocide in 1994.
Portman will film a public service announcement that will be aired on the Oprah Winfrey show in the near future.
