So a bunch of YouTubers are weirded out by the teaser for Beverly Hills Chihuahua, which features wee Aztec canines singing DJ Bobo’s chart-topping (well, in Europe) single aptly titled “Chihuahua.” But us? No way, we adore it!

Now that the all-plot, no-singing (aw, we miss it!) trailer is finally out, we’d like to ask everyone to reconsider this Chihuahua. It’s clearly a harrowing tale about a spoiled Chihuahua—voiced by Drew Barrymore—who must overcome her vanity and prejudice to not only find her way home but also find herself and true love.

OK, it’s probably not that moving, but it does feature a rat-and-iguana comedy duo. Plus, George Lopez’s Papi is the cutest Chihuahua we’ve seen around. (And, living in the epicenter of the spoiled Chihuahua crisis, we've seen plenty.)

Give the trailer a go, and let us know what you think in the comments. But please, hold onto your tacos!

Fido, meet Yum-o.

Rachael Ray is bringing her trademark brand of culinary perk to the pet world, launching a new line of premium dog food.

The Rover-friendly line, dubbed Rachael Ray Nutrish, features two varieties of all-natural pooch chow recipes, which have been both named after and developed for Ray's own four-legged friend, her pit bull Isaboo.

Proceeds from the products will be donated to Rachael's Rescue, an organization founded by the foodie that helps at-risk animals through the adoption process.

No matter how badly we want Disney to push up the release date of Beverly Hills Chihuahua, the amazing singing Aztec canines still won’t be hitting theatres for another couple of months. But that hasn’t stopped them from spreading their propaganda, which, we have to admit, has totally snared us.

But has this toy-size Drew Barrymore romp taken a truly dark turn? Check the video above where Papi (George Lopez) lists the grievances he has with humanity in front of a frighteningly large congregation of Chihuahuas. Wait—this movie just went from cute animated dogs to serious animal rights issues.

So what could these spolied brats really have to complain about? Well, maybe this...

DMX is making a point of getting to know the bars everywhere he goes.

The beleaguered rapper was arrested for the third time in two weeks Wednesday when he landed in Phoenix and deplaned right into the cold embrace of an outstanding warrant issued when he, among other things, missed a court hearing.

DMX was flying in from Florida, where he was busted twice last week—on June 23 for driving with an invalid license and then four days later for allegedly trying to purchase marijuana and cocaine from an undercover cop.

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 dog—thereby 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?

One flight attendant isn't after the hair of the dog that bit her—she's after its owner.

Lisa Wilson has filed a $5 million lawsuit against Jennifer Lopez, alleging that the entertainer's German shepherd guard dog made the skies particularly unfriendly during a 2006 private flight by "attacking [Wilson] and biting her pant leg."

The suit, filed Thursday in Brooklyn Federal Court and obtained by E! News, alleges the attack caused her to fall and suffer back injuries that have prevented her from obtaining further work. (View the allegations and full complaint.)
