JUST AWFUL!

Colorado cops busted this junkie after her boyfriend said she killed a cat by blowing heroin smoke in its face.

Danielle Blankenship, 21, was arrested Tuesday after cops arrived at her home on a domestic dispute call and found the cat, Muffin, passed out cold at the bottom of the stairs.

After failing to wake the cat, cops called animal control, and the sick kitty was taken to the Humane Society of Boulder Valley, where she was treated for poisoning, but sadly passed.

Blankenship's bf told police that the woman had been smoking heroin and blowing it in the poor tabby's face.

The woman denied using the drug. Ha.

RIP Muffin!

Here are 5 things to know about Hollywoods hottest animal starlet!

1. In real life, she doesn't smoke.

Crystal's trainer, Thomas Gunderson, worked with his 17-year-old monkey so that she could hold a hollow prop that looked like a cigarette (the smoke effects were added later through CGI). She also learned how to use several different kinds of lighters (that didn't have real flames).

2. She doesn't have any other deviant behaviors, either.

According to her trainer:

"Most monkeys are liars, Crystal is not. She's not a good liar. She's very honest. She takes her work very seriously."

3. She was pretty popular on the Hangover set.

While actors Bradley Cooper and Ken Jeong had worked with Crystal on other projects, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis hadn't. Gunderson says they started out "a little – and this is putting it very mildly – apprehensive.

Eventually, Crystal became a member of the "Wolf Pack," and people would take turns petting her, feeding her, and the group would often sit and have lunch together.

4. She's not a diva.

While Crystal may look like one on the red carpet, this is one down-to-earth capuchin. "She doesn't understand all this stuff," Gunderson says.

"When we were on the red carpet, there was a lot of noise, a lot of lights, a lot to keep her stimulated. Most monkeys would probably be stressed out and not want to be there. She stands right out there and smiles and waves."

5. She's named after a country singer.

Soon after Gunderson was assigned to train his new monkey about 15 years ago, he was sitting in his car when a song by the country singer Crystal Gayle came on the radio.

Take a bow!

It was soo cute to see Crystal, the trained capuchin monkey/actress/cuteness, walk down the red carpet for the premiere of the Hangover Part II in LA last night!

According to co-star Bradley Cooper, Crystal deserves the recognition for her "miracle" work. In the before shooting he wasn't sure the monkey was gonna be able to do everything the script called for.

"I remember [director Todd Phillips and I] were talking about it. He was saying there's gonna be this drug-dealing mule that's a monkey and it's gonna smoke, and I was like, 'How the hell are you gonna pull this off?' You know, Crystal has turned out to be just a miracle monkey. She's incredible. She can do anything."

Cooper toted Crystal around on his shoulder during many Hangover II scenes, which was fun for the actor, except for one part…

"The only downside to Crystal is that she has very long claws, and you don't want to get Crystal around an elephant. There was one scene where we were walking down the street, and there was an elephant, and she sort of destroyed my shoulder."

We hope Brad and Crystal work together again soon. Valentine's Day Part II perhaps?

No, this isn't some kind of political joke.

He might not look like the most prized pet but this lovable Iraqi donkey won the hearts of so many soldiers, one retired Marine spent months and thousands of dollars organising for 'Smoke' to head to America.

It cost $40,000 and required countless bureaucratic obstacles, but thanks to the hard work of now-retired Marine Col. John Folsom, the brown-eyed donkey is heading to Nebraska.

The donkey became a mascot for a group of Marines in Iraq's Anbar nearly three years ago when he wandered into a former Iraqi air base occupied by American troops.

Marines took care of him until 2009 when they left the area, but they turned Smoke over to a sheik who promised to care for him.

Folsom used to walk Smoke daily and had formed a bond with the animal. It didn't seem right that Smoke was left behind.

Folsom saw the donkey for the first time in years Saturday when he arrived in New York to transport him to his new home in Omaha. By Saturday afternoon they had driven through Baltimore and were on their way to Warrenton, Va., for meet-and-greet with some fans.

Wow.

A trip to the zoo should fill any animal fan with a sense of joy wonder, but in Malaysia the experience inspires revulsion.

Crocodiles struggle in waterless enclosures while lions and tigers are trapped in boxes barely big enough to house them, leaving no room to roam around.

But worst of all is the plight of Shirley, a 25-year-old orangutan, who competes with cage-mate Abu for cigarette butts thrown by tourists to satisfy her smoking habit.

Last October a new law was passed that gave the zoos six moths to clean up their act but when the June deadline passes there will have been shamefully little progress made.

Some animals were being made to perform, despite the practise being banned, but worst of all was the example of one zoo that had been obtaining its animals on the black market.

If you visit Malaysia, save yourself the heartbreak and steer clear of the zoos.
