President Obama had to deal with a small domestic crisis at the White House -- a family friend was bitten by Sunny, the First Family's 4-year-old dog. We're told the incident occurred Monday when the 18-year-old was visiting the White House. Sources connected to the girl tell us she went to pet and kiss Sunny, and the dog bit her on the face. Sunny -- a female Portuguese Water Dog -- left a nasty gash under the girl's eye.

Prince George made a surprise appearance at Kensington Palace on Friday - in his pajamas! The little royal, who stole the spotlight earlier in the week in his cutest royal portrait yet, appeared in a hallway wearing a plush robe (embroidered with his name!), matching gingham blue pajamas and slippers just before the start of his parents' dinner with President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. In a photo shared on Kensington Palace's Twitter, George can be seen sharing a handshake with the President. Other pictures show him riding a rocking horse - a gift from the Obamas when he was born.

The science and practice of viral video will be the subject of a double session at Mumbrella360 in the latest topic to be announced for the event.
In the first 45 minute session, the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute for Marketing Science, based at the University of South Australia, will share new research into what makes videos go viral.
Senior research associate Dr Karen Nelson-Field will present new research by the institute aimed at helping marketers understand which emotional attributes have the strongest relationship with sharing behaviour in the context of social media.According to the institute: “This research shows that the social media commentators often get it wrong – that while some emotional responses are most prevalent, that surprisingly these are not the ones that optimise sharing behaviour.”

They say a dog is a man’s best friend, yet when Bryan Michael Stoller first began his career in the early 1970s hosting a Canadian children’s TV program called “Film Fun,” he never dreamed that 30 years later an irresistible little canine would be so connected to his career.
Teaching has always been important to the 50-year-old filmmaker, and if it had not been for his venture into directing, he says he surely would have would become an educator. “Film Fun” was a show in which a then-10-year-old Stoller, his sister Nancy and featured guests taught youngsters about the art of filmmaking with an emphasis on animation techniques. In 2003, he authored a title for the popular “Dummies” how-to series, “Filmmaking for Dummies,” and edited “Screenwriting for Dummies.”
However, it was his four-legged companion that revived his interest in filmmaking. Stoller...

With family films taking a bite out of the boxoffice, Bryan Michael Stoller hopes Little Bear, a 28-pound Queensland heeler, can follow in the paw prints of Marley, Marmaduke and the Beverly Hills Chihuahua.
Most movies starring a dog, like "Beethoven," use 10 or more look-alike animals. In Stoller's "First Dog," about a foster kid who returns the president's lost dog to the White House, Little Bear is the solo star. He did his own stunts and even barked for postproduction looping.
"I have a credit in the movie as his acting coach, not as a trainer," said Stoller, who directed, produced, wrote and edited the movie, which was made for less than $3 million and screens Tuesday night for the first time for distributors and backers.
