American Idol winner Jordin Sparks has a big voice... and she uses it to loudly proclaim her love for her dog, Miles.
“Animals have always helped calm me down and helped relax me,” she says while holding the “schnoodle.” “They’re great to have. They’ve definitely become… I don’t have kids, but that’s the love that you feel. You’re so attached to them, and you want to be with them all the time. Yeah, I do talk to him sometimes, but it’s nice. He’s so cute. [baby talks] Yes you are. I know, I love you. [ends baby talk].”
Aw, we think you're cute too, Jordin. And talented!
Hey everyone! I've been catching up with my Hollywood gossip this Labor Day weekend (Happy Labor Day!), and I caught the cutest story about the Diva, Mariah Carey. Apparently, she requests mineral water at all of her appearances so that her dog can bathe in it. Normally, I'd think a person is going a little overboard with the mineral water bath, but when Mariah does it, it's too adorable! You go, Ms. Thang! (We just hope she recycles the bottles when she's done).
