Ouch!! Little Levi Alves McConaughey, first born son of Matthew McConaughey and his babymama Camila Alves, spent part of his yesterday frolicking on the beach with his pet dogs and his very aggressive nanny*. Wanna know how I know the nanny is aggressive? Check out how she likes to yank around the little kid when she grabs a hold of him:

No matter how much fun kids think it is, children at this age should not be lifted up and yanked by their arms … and they really shouldn’t be yanked by one arm like this. It is my understanding that at this very young age, kids’ muscles and tendons are still being formed and trauma to their joints like this can do damage … plus, it does look painful. Now, I’m not sure that Levi’s parents are aware that their little boy is being yanked around like this but I know I wouldn’t want anyone manhandling my child like this. Poor thing :(

But, Levi’s day at the beach wasn’t all bad … he got to spend some time playing with the family dogs. After the jump, check out two more photos of Levi at the beach with his furry buddies …

A couple weeks ago we learned that Matthew McConaughey got himself a new pet, a breed of bird called Sun Conure, and today we see that Matty’s little birdy friend is still hangin’ around:

Um … I have to admit that I really love Matthew with his bird. It’s such an odd thing to see a man and his bird just out in public … you can understand how sometimes that could be off-putting. As far as celeb pets go, I think McConaughey’s Sun Conure is my new fave.

Last month we learned the sad news that Jessica Simpson’s beloved pet, a malti-poo named Daisy, was snatched away right before her eyes by ravenous coyotes. As you may recall, Jessica put up posters asking for the safe return of her pooch … just in case the little thing managed to escape the deadly jaws of the coyotes who took her. It turns out that Jessica continues to get messages from people who claim to have found Daisy alive and Jess has had enough. She posted a tweet on her official Twitter profile Sunday night demanding that people stop telling her that Daisy is alive. It seems she has finally come to grips that her little pooch is gone forever:

Jessica Simpson’s mad, and she’s not going to take it anymore. After dealing with the especially painful loss of maltipoo Daisy, who was taken from her back yard by a coyote on Sept. 14, the singer has apparently been inundated with false sightings of her beloved pup. She took to Twitter late Sunday night to say,

“People have been contacting my family and friends saying that Daisy has been found. Untrue. People are so cruel. Please respect her memory.”

While I agree that it is cruel to lie to Jess in this way, she kinda did open herself up to this sort of treatment by appealing to the public for their help. In any event, it’s clear that she has finally realized that there is no way Daisy could’ve survived her abduction. I hope the sweet little dear is resting peacefully in doggie heaven. Peace out, Daisy :(

Animal lover Matthew McConaughey, who last year procured a little pooch for his family a few months after the birth of his son Levi Alves, was spotted roaming the streets of Mailbu, CA in the company of his newest pet … a cute little Sun Conure:

While it’s not odd at all to see celebs out and about with their pets, it is odd to see anyone walking around with a pet bird on their shoulder. I understand Matthew kept feeding his new friend grains to keep the little guy from flying away to freedom. I don’t know if we’ll be seeing much of the newest member of the McConaughey family from here on out because birds tend to spend most of their time cooped up in birdcages … but if Matthew felt safe bringing out this bird this time there’s no reason not to believe he’ll bring him (or her) out again.

Uh oh! More bad news for poor Jessica Simpson. According to Jess herself, her little pooch Daisy was snatched away by coyotes apparently “in front of [her] eyes” and she is now asking for folks to help her find her missing dog. I kinda hate to break it to Jess but, if coyotes really did run off with her dog, she ain’t gonna find the little pooch in one piece. Here is the Missing Dog poster that Jessica is distributing in the hopes of finding Daisy along with the full text of her tweet message posted on her official Twitter profile:

My heart is broken because a coyote took my precious Daisy right in front of our eyes. HORROR! We are searching. Hoping. Please help!

I’m not exactly sure what kind of help she is hoping to get from people. Coyotes who are brazen enough to snatch away dogs right in front of humans are not the kind of animals that are likely to let those animals live for long once they snatch them away. It sucks that Jessica is holding out so much hope for Daisy’s return since she’s already suffered so much disappointment in life but methinks that Daisy has already made her way to that shining dog kennel in the sky. I suppose there is always room for hope and I sincerely do hope that Jessica will be reunited with her beloved pet but … I got strong feeling in my gut that that scenario is very unlikely to happen :(

Kellan Lutz, who just this past week was spotted roaming the streets of Vancouver, BC with the rest of his castmates on The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, has made his way back home to LA this weekend. Here are a few photos of Kellan taking his pooch Kola out for a walk/skateboarding session this weekend:

HMMM, homie knows how to work a tank top, don’t he? Yes, he does. But anyways … I recently mused that the Twilight kids were starting to make themselves at home in Vancouver, where they are currently in production on the third Twilight film, but it seems that Kellan knows exactly where his home is — SoCal. I’m not sure if he made his way back to LA for a special occasion or if he just wanted to be home when he didn’t need to be in Vancouver … as long as he continues to wear tight-fitting clothing like this, I don’t really mind where he pops up. Woot!

Paris Hilton, who is very fond of sheltering a vast menagerie of pets from various species of animal, has added a new addition to her collection … and then immediately threw it into a bag so she could show it off in public. Here are a couple pics of Paris’s new pussy … cat:

Without going into the fact that Paris Hilton prolly has way too many pets to take care of them all properly, I will say that this little kitty is really very cute. And, in all honesty, Paris looks pretty nice herself. I’m sure I have no idea what her pet count is up to these days but I do hope that she will take care of this little kitten in the manner it deserves to be treated. Well, I’ve got my fingers crossed at least.
