Creative Captioning: Heigl + Dog = Captioning Gold

What is it about the confluence of animals and celebrities that makes for particularly fertile Celebritology material? We've trod this ground before: with Vincent Pastore and a ridiculously cute kitten, misguided Aubrey O'Day and her fashion abused dog Ginger and Diddy's unfortunate collision with a pile of dog doody. Truly, I remember those cuddly, cutified posts as some of my favorites. Maybe not the Diddy one, so much. But suddenly I understand the genius of "The Soup's" Lou the Chihuahua.
The latest celebrity to go to the dogs? Katherine Heigl. As you can see below, the "Grey's Anatomy" and "Knocked Up" star took along one of her four dogs to an L.A. opening for designer Peter Alexander's new store. Is it a lame attempt at image rehab considering her penchant for dissing pretty much everything and everyone who made her the star she is? Nice try, Kat. We'll see if forcing your dog into a parka smooths things over with Judd Apatow.

You know the drill. The top five or so captions will be elevated to a place of prominence in the blog and the cleverest captioner will be accorded all due sucking up. And, please, don't let comment registration stop you from posting your entries.

No caption but that dog is either trying to escape or bite her face off. I would support both. Poor thing, not only is he dressed in a parka, but his owner is the Heigl thing.
