This Hollywood A-lister enjoys the outdoors with his dog Millie (the one giving him a big poochie smooch!). He throws a ball into the pool, she dives in and gets it. Hours of fun! When Nicky Whelan caught up with Michael in LA, he showed her the tattoo of 'Millicent' on his arm.
Michael thinks Millie would love Australia as much as he does. She passed the Vegemite test with flying colours. imdb/michaelvartan.com
Jules Lund
Jules has travelled the world for Getaway. He's run with the bulls in Pamplona, come close to polar bears in the Arctic and raced camels in the desert. His stay-at-home cat Harry is very talented, so Jules thinks he should have an agent. Animal trainer Luke Hura stepped in to make this moggy a star. That's when Harry's true nature showed - he got stagefright! getaway.ninemsn.com.au *Kittens wanted*
Featured animal trainer Luke Hura is on the lookout for kittens for a production on 1st September 2008. If your kittens have star potential, go to lukesdogtraining.com.au
Tara Moss
Tara has a pet diamond python called Gomez - who is 'creepy and kooky'. Gomez likes to hiss and also likes hugs. Snakes are very solitary and like their own company. They eat rats and sometimes chickens. Tara admits you can't train snakes, and they can't be toilet trained either. taramoss.com
Craig Lowndes
Off the race track, Craig's lifestyle is a lot more laid back. His family has nearly 90 animals on their Queensland farm.
When Klara Lisy caught up with him, he showed her around the paddocks - the fast way! craiglowndes.com
Scott Cam
Scott takes his dog Rosie to work with him every day. Australia's favourite tv 'chippie' (that's carpenter to you and me) knows Rosie had big paws to fill. Scott's previous dog, Lizzie, was a regular on Backyard Blitz. When she died, Scott couldn't bear to part with her so he had her stuffed.
Reporter Kelly Landry managed to get a confession out of Scott. He said Lizzie was a star, and Rosie is becoming a star, and if she sits very still, that's what her future will be like in about ten years! ninemsn.com.au/domesticblitz
