Chelsea Handler was at the beach recently, paddle boarding as apparently every celebrity ever does, when she ran into one scary situation.

She was attacked by a sea lion!!

She said:

"This summer, after recovering from my ACL surgery, I managed to sustain only one other bodily injury. I was innocently paddle boarding in the Pacific when suddenly a rogue sea lion leaped up and viciously attacked my leg."

So what happened? Did she egg it on somehow? Or accidentally whack it in the face with her paddle?

Leave it to Lisa Lampanelli to be controversial.

She was recently spotted out and about, and was asked what she thought about Donald Trump's sons going out big game hunting in Africa.

Maybe it's because she's on Celebrity Apprentice so she wants to stay cool with the Trumps but she thinks they can kill whatever they want.

The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) has honored The Vampire Diaries' Ian Somerhalder.

At the HSUS's 26th annual Genesis Awards, he will receive the prestigious Wyler Award.

The Wyler Award is given to a public figure or celebrity for raising awareness of animal issues through their pull in the media.

Ian is specifically being recognized for his use of traditional and social media to advocate for issues such as shark finning, endangered animals, fur and the Canadian seal hunt.

He has even founded the Ian Somerhalder Foudnation, whose goal is to "empower, educate and collaborate with people and projects to positively impact the planet and its creatures."

Ian said:

"The tireless efforts of The Humane Society of the United States to protect animals around the world has always been an inspiration to me and I’m honored to be recognized with this year’s Wyler Award."

An HSUS rep said about Somerhalder:

"Ian is the epitome of a new kind of advocate who leverages his fame and an array of media platforms to draw public attention to animal protection concerns and other issues that he cares deeply about.

From addressing Congress to making TV appearances to regularly blogging to informing his million-plus followers on Twitter, Ian is a major voice and force for animals and a most deserving recipient of The Wyler Award."

The Genesis Awards will air on Animal Planet in May if you wanna check out the yummy Ian receive his award!

Congrats, Ian!

When Dr. Patrick Mahaney isn't helping animals during the work day, he's enjoying spending time with them at glamourous events, like the Pre-Westminster Fashion Show at New York’s Hotel Pennsylvania.

Luckily for all of us, he brought a camera and wrote a review of the whole event.

He said:

"In prepping for the Westminster Kennel Club 136th Annual Dog Show, I attended the Pre-Westminster Fashion Show at New York’s Hotel Pennsylvania.

The "Venetian Masquerade" theme featured both humans and canines displaying their personal interpretation of Venetian masks and attire. The night of high fashion and philanthropy benefitting animal welfare in support of Animal Care and Control of New York City.

A variety of furry and less-hirsute participants attended the festivities, including CNN and Showbiz Tonight’s AJ Hammer (less-hirsute).
