Lily Allen's taking some ruff criticism online ... with people blasting her character after she admitted she ditched a rescue puppy when it chewed up her family's passports.

The actress told the story on her "Miss Me?" podcast, and revealed the dog she adopted in 2021 turned out to be a hungry pup ... chewing just about everything it could fit between its teeth.

One of those tasty forbidden treats -- her passport and her kids' passports, complete with their visas stuck inside of them ... which the little dog apparently shredded.

Lady Gaga is showing off her new cuddly partner to the world ... but it ain't her fiancé!

California's furry felines will be out in force all weekend at CatCon -- but one person who probably won't be making a cameo is J.D. Vance!

As you know, Donald Trump's Republican VP pick put his foot in his mouth in a recently resurfaced 2021 interview with then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson in which he referred to Kamala Harris and other U.S. leaders as "childless cat ladies," mainly on the Democratic side.

Of course, Vance's statement didn't sit well with Kamala -- the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee -- and other liberals who have blasted the Ohio senator ever since the clip started circulating again.

Nicola Peltz-Beckham is officially taking legal action against the groomer who treated her beloved dog before she died ... and she's come out swinging in a new lawsuit.

In a new filing obtained by TMZ ... Nicola claims HoundSpa caused the untimely death of her chihuahua Nala -- specifically pointing the finger at a groomer, named Jony Ceballos.

Nicola claims Jony has a history of "intentional and malicious abuse of dogs," further alleging Nala was left injured and in severe physical distress after being treated for a routine grooming in HoundSpa's mobile van.

J.D. Vance is trying to claw his way out of the "childless cat lady" controversy ... purr-suading everyone he's not a cat hater, and claiming people totally missed his point.

Donald Trump's running mate appeared on "The Megyn Kelly Show" Friday ... claiming haters are too busy fixating on the sarcasm in his old 2021 comments and not enough on the supposed wisdom he was trying to drop.

The U.S. Senator from Ohio attempted to clear things up ... saying the real point he was trying to make was having kids and becoming a parent was good, and seriously shifts your perspective in a major way.

Jennifer Aniston ain't no fan of J.D. Vance or his remarks about childless cat ladies and In Vitro Fertilization.

Kroy Biermann is fuming, but this time it's not at Kim Zolciak -- he's pissed cops ticketed him over his dog escaping his yard, and new body cam footage shows him fighting tooth and nail to keep his cool.

TMZ obtained this video of Kroy's run-in with cops in late June outside the couple's Georgia home, where neighbors called authorities to report the Biermann's Cane Corso -- named Stone -- for getting out into the community and terrifying some folks on the streets.

As we first told you ... cops cited Troy for the dog getting loose, but now we're seeing exactly how he took the news when officers confronted him, and it's interesting.

Halle Berry is marking the 20th anniversary of her titular role in "Catwoman" ... by ditching her top and taking photos with a couple pussy cats.

Our sources say the assistant found Esta Friday on the ground in her bathroom, called 911 and first responders pronounced her dead on the scene.

Celebrities on the East Coast are showing up in force at the premiere for the new "Deadpool & Wolverine" action flick ... but the big takeaway here is a pooch in costume.

The pooch, a Pug and Chinese Crested mix named Peggy, has a part in the movie as Dogpool ... and the pup was decked out in full costume, looking super cute and adorable!!!

Glen Powell welcoming little pup Brisket into his life while he was filming "Twisters" is having a paw-sitive impact, not just on Glen and Brisket, but on the rescue org that helped connect them.

Samantha Peraino, Head of Operations for The Labelle Foundation, tells TMZ the whole process kickstarted when someone from the actor's team slid into their IG DMs after they posted a gallery back in June 2023, revealing the 10 ½-week-old puppy up for adoption.

She says Glen's rep notified them of his interest and asked about the next steps. Glen then filled out an application and met the pup in person, and it was love at first bark. He then paid the $700 adoption fee (which includes chipping and spaying/neutering) to make it official ... and they hooked up shortly thereafter.

A Los Angeles man is in custody after cops say he was caught on surveillance video dropping a 7-month-old puppy down an apartment staircase.

Danny Trejo's saying farewell to his beloved Chihuahua Dixie ... a mini-yet-mighty dog that certainly made fans laugh, but Danny tells TMZ she also struck fear into the hearts of his other pets.

Dixie died this week at 16, and Danny's obviously heartbroken -- but he told us he's also full of joy for the smiles and laughs the tough-as-nails pooch provided by scaring the hell out of his pit bulls and Rottweilers. As he puts it, Dixie ran his house!

DT says fans used to be baffled when they saw him with Dixie ... most assuming he would be holding back two massive, brutish K-9s, but Dixie was his baby and always slept with Dad.
