You could say actress Amy Smart is 'Shameless' about her love for pets. As a long supporter of Best Friends Animal Society and various other pet adoption initiatives in Los Angeles, the 36-year-old knows that owning a dog, cat or other animal can be the key to a happy life... and marriage.
Mark Consuelos is feeling pretty down today. His soap opera, All My Children, is ending this afternoon after 41 long, successful years on the air. "We are mourning the loss," he tells us. "That was such a great place to work." However, the 40-year-old still has a lot to be happy about. He has a wonderful marriage with Kelly Ripa, co-host of Regis & Kelly, whom he met on the set of All My Children back when he first joined the cast in 1995. Plus, every night he comes home to have dinner with her and their three beautiful children, Michael, 14, Lola, 10, and Joaquin, 8.
