Steve Granitz/WireImage.com Country music star Kenny Chesney has found love with not one, not two, but three gorgeous gals. Of course, there's his girlfriend, Amy Colley (a former Miss Tennessee USA who currently works as a nurse), but now there are two more girls in his life: a pair of teacup maltipoo puppies! According to CMT, Chesney and Colley flew into Bardstown, Ky. to meet with a breeder and buy a puppy. The breeder told the Kentucky Standard News that she had no idea the man playing with her puppies was a big star because she'd only spoken to Colley, whose name was on the contract.

The Telegraph spoke with Kirsty Bayley, who is the Pig Herd Manager at the Institute of Animal Health, and who shared ...
Todd Williamson, WireImage The UK's micro pig obsession is about to get bigger. According to the UK's Daily Mail, singer-turned-fashion designer Victoria Beckham recently splurged on this season's must-have: Micro Pigs. At $1,160 (£700) each, Victoria and David Beckham's two new micro pigs are living like the rich and famous at the couple's home in Hertfordshire, England. At only 9 oz. at birth, these micro pigs are surprisingly clean and sociable pets, reports the Daily Mail. While the former Spice Girl wishes to name her trendy pets after her good friends Elton John and David Furnish, her soccer star husband prefers to call his piglets something more traditional: Pinky and Perky.
