Gucci Poochie Goo

It was a fiesta of all things cute and fluffy last weekend when the stars showed up at the annual Silver Spoon Hollywood Dog and Baby Buffet to pamper their kids and pets. The 2-day long event raised over $5000 for the Amanda foundation, a pet rescue organization, and offered the newest and most fashionable in baby clothing, toys and furniture along with couture dog fashions, cuisine and grooming.

Attendees included: Tori Spelling ("So noTORIous"), Amber Valletta (Hitch), Taryn Manning (Hustle & Flow), Shannon Elizabeth (“Cuts”), Larenz Tate (Crash), Kelly Hu (X-men II), Lisa Edelstein ("House, M.D."), Tia Carrere ("Dancing With the Stars"), Shanna Moakler (“Meet the Barkers”), Kevin Weisman (“Alias”), Amy Acker (“Alias”, “Angel”), Bill Bellamy (“Fastlane”), Marissa Jaret Winokur (“Stacked”, Tony winner for Hairspray), Bridgette Wilson Sampras (The Wedding Planner), Pete Sampras (Grand Slam Tennis Champion), Danny Pino (“Cold Case”), Jennifer Finnigan (“Close to Home”), Jonathan Silverman (“The Single Guy”), Bobbi Sue Luther (Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo), Melissa Rivers (TV Guide Channel), Victoria Fuller (“The Amazing Race”), Jonathan Baker (The Amazing Race”), socialite Casey Johnson, James Carpinello ("So noTORIous"), Dean McDermott (“Mind Over Murder”), Dick Van Patten (“7th Heaven”), Hilary Shepard (The 40 Year Old Virgin), Michelle Clunie (“Queer as Folk”), Mindy Burbano (“Gilligan's Island: A Pop Culture Phenomenon”), Skye McCole Bartusiak ("CSI: Crime Scene Investigation"), Tony Hale ("Arrested Development"), Kelli McCarty (“Passions”), David Weintraub (“Sons of Hollywood”), Kylie Bax (supermodel) and Allison Melnick (“The Club”).

Celebs were loving Fooey tees - several of their kids changed right into their cool tees at the event. Toddler Treads’ Gucio Shoes, already worn by the likes of Apple Martin, were spotted on little feet all over the lawn . With all those doggies running around, Snugglebug Baby did mom's a big service - their gorgeous bejeweled pacifier clips kept the binkies from ever hitting the turf. Boosker Babies provided the stars with supersoft chenille blankets and burpees and several celebs, including Tia Carerre and Shanna Moakler were thrilled to recieve plush personalized blankets from Tots and Tails Designs. Grand Avenue Baby also gifted the stars with a selection of goodies including posh fluffy tutus. Little Lubbaloo gave out their popular onesies and tees including "Old Soul", as well as their funky "Francie Pants undershorts", which sure came in handy under the tutus! As one celeb kid uttered "Mum - these are abslolutely brilliant! They keep all the boys from seeing your knickers!".

Celebs also scored witty t-shirts from Little Showoffs, and mod nursery furniture from Scandinavian Child. Sweet Beginnings provided decorator options for outfitting the very swankiest nurseries.


Meanwhile, lucky moms-to-be were able to choose super stylish and comfy maternity fashions from Mommy Go Round. All the new moms snagged Baby Dish "BabyBeReady" diaper bags, colorful survival kits fully equipped with all of a baby’s first year essentials. And moms of all ages were entranced with Nelle & Lizzy's intertwined silver rings as well as Tina Steinberg personalized fingerprint jewelry. Emergency Cafe reminded parents that being prepared can save the day, by handing out fully stocked backpack disaster survival kits

Older tots loaded up on toys including Ty stuffed animals; Yummiland dolls; Mattel Fisher-Price® Little Mommy™ Dolls; Hot Wheels® Radar Guns and Pixel Chix™ Road Trippin’ Cars. They took home DVDs and plush toys from Disney and Buena Vista entertainment, including limited edition "Lady and the Tramp". Bread and Budder's decorative buckets were sure handy to store all those baby toys and essentials in.

And for once, pets did not have to feel displaced by human offspring. From groomers, to pet psychics, the fur-babies got their props. Lucky pooches sported doggy couture items imported from Italy, from Hedy Manon. Oscar Newman gifted custom appliquéd and hand-embroidered beaded dog clothing. Rebel pups indulged in Pet Science Labs’ Petattoos, temporary tattoos. They reveled in their Bark & Britches’ doggie bowls, Christina Said pet products and Haute Diggity Dog beds and chew toys from Chewie Vuitton purses to Jimmy Chew pumps. My own personal pooch went totally bonkers for Dogswell's Happy Hips treats - and the cat has still has his tail in a twist about Fluffy not sharing.

The luckiest dogs, like “So NoTORIious” co-star Mimi La Rue, no longer need to go outside to do their business after scoring a coveted PetaPotty with synthetic grass at the Buffet. Now that's a gift that would certainly be a boon to pooped out new parents who are too tired to walk the dog!
