Rory's Canine Celebrity Crush

Rory (or maybe it's just me) has a canine celebrity crush, Whiz Portman. Natalie Portman has been everywhere these days between the pre and post Oscar buzz and her pregnancy, which means we've gotten to see a lot more of Whiz, her adorable yorkie. Not to take anything away from the very handsome Jake, in fact, I think they kind of favor each other, but Rory has definitely put Whiz on her safe list. You know, the list of pups she is allowed to play fetch with (literally) should the opportunity ever present itself, and it doesn't count as cheating.

Whiz looks like a giant teddy bear, and Rory found herself immediately charmed by his good looks. I obviously have a soft spot for teapot yorkies with floppy ears, and I admit I wouldn't mind cuddling up with him.

You can check out some pictures of Whiz in this feature by People Pets. Celebrity Dog Watcher also has several pictures of Natalie with Whiz, though you might notice he is incorrectly identified as Charlie in some of the photos. Charlie was Natalie's adorable terrier mix who passed away before Whiz joined the family.

Check out this adorable video of Charlie on David Letterman:

Charlie makes his appearance around the 6 minute and 10 second mark, though he is mentioned earlier in the interview.

Natalie and Whiz even starred in Funny or Die's Between Two Ferns With Zach Galifianakis. Just a heads up, this video is NOT appropriate for children. I don't really think it's all that funny, but the adorableness of Whiz does steal the show. It looks like his mom isn't the only actor in the family.

One thing is certain, Natalie Portman has always had adorable pups, and I just love that she brings them with her almost everywhere she goes. Rory has started complaining she isn't as well-traveled as Whiz, so I guess we'll have to work on that...or marry her off.



Mrs. Whiz Portman...Rory likes the sound of that.
