'The Artist' Pooch Uggie Continues Quest for World Domination With Upcoming Autobiography

Every movie star needs a juicy memoir to his or her name and Uggie the dog is no different. Although it will probably be pretty G-rated compared to other stars' tell-all autobiographies, Uggie has plenty of waggy tales to tell for his upcoming book "Uggie: My Story."
And what a story! The little Jack Russell terrier stole screen time from dreamy Jean Dujardin in "The Artist" and appeared in "Water for Elephants" with Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattison. He's currently working as the spokesdog for Nintendo after rumors of retirement, and he was a guest at the White House Correspondents' Dinner over the weekend.
Uggie even had his own grassroots Oscar campaign, Consider Uggie, started by fans who were barking mad that the star wasn't in the running. Get More »

Uggie Dodges Retirement as Nintendo Spokesdog
Nintendo
Is Uggie pulling a Steven Soderbergh?
The canine star of "The Artist" was supposedly going to be retiring from show business after making his appearance at the Oscars. Well, now that "The Artist" took home a whole bunch of those Oscars, a lot of job offers are no doubt piling up in Uggie's doghouse -- which means plans for retiring to a life of lounging by the pool might've been a bit premature.

2012 Comedy Awards Nominations: And the Punchline Goes To ...
Universal

The Humble Yet Amusing Early Works of Jean Dujardin
YouTube
Jean Dujardin is an Oscar-winning actor. It wasn't always this way.
The past will always come back to haunt you, and in this case the past takes the form of "Brice de Nice," a 2005 French film in which "The Artist" himself plays the title role, a platinum blonde spoiled rich teenager of 30 who fancies himself a surfer (even though he's never actually surfed). After he suddenly finds himself penniless, he decides to rob a bank -- and indulges the opportunity to perform a rap number while he's at it (after hitting a guy in the face with his surfboard and saying he wants to "make a withdrawal").

The Best & Worst Moments from the 2012 Academy Awards
Getty Images
A movie about the silent film era won Best Picture and the host -- a favorite in the '90s -- was returning for his ninth stint as Academy Awards host … it's no surprise, then, that the 84th annual Academy Awards had a very retro vibe.
"The Artist," the silent, black-and-white movie about the early days of Hollywood when wordless films gave way to the "talkies," won five Oscars in total, while Billy Crystal, returning as host for the first time since 2004, opened the show with both an amusing video package and a less clever musical nod to the nominated movies.
Elsewhere, veteran actress Meryl Streep won her third Oscar (and her first in almost 30 years), while Christopher Plummer became a first-time Oscar winner -- and set a new record as the oldest winner -- at age 82. Get More »
GALLERY: Take the Stage at the 2012 Academy Awards Show
The Academy has been thoroughly thanked for another year.
Billy Crystal ran a good-looking show at the 84th Annual Academy Awards, a ceremony that featured a moving and tearful acceptance speech from Octavia Spencer, a classy and distinguished one from Christopher Plummer, an impromptu backside shot from Jennifer Lopez and Cameron Diaz, a vodka shot from Rose Byrne and Melissa McCarthy at the mention of the name "Scorsese" and several big wins for "The Artist."
Re-live the magic with our gallery of the 2012 Oscars show.

"The Artist" earned the Oscar for Best Picture — the first for a silent film since "Wings" won at the very first Academy Awards way back in 1929. Get More »
