Maria Menounos

 

Jim chats with the one and only Maria Menounos!

Listen to Jim’s interview with Maria here!

JB: This one is for all you dog lovers out there… this weekend is the second annual Beverly Hills Dog Show, and I mean really, who doesn’t love a good dog show? We have actress, author and Sirius XM host Maria Menounos here to tell us all about it, Hi Maria!

MM: Thank you so much for having me!

JB: So this is the second Beverly Hills Dog show…tell us about why the Beverly Hills Dog show was created?

MM: So the Beverly Hills Dog Show, provided by Purina, is really combining the stars of Hollywood with the dog world. So I kind of liken it to the Oscars of the Dog World- ya got the stars walking the red carpet, the dogs walking the carpet and competing. There are 200 breeds competing for best in show– it’s going to air Easter Sunday at 6 PM Eastern Time. It’s a family friendly show, a lot of fun, and for me, it’s something that I really look forward to and I love getting to be a part of it beause I love dogs and just getting to, you know, sit down on a carpet and play with dogs all day is my absolute heaven.

JB: And what kinds of things can we expect to see during the dog show?

MM: Well you’ll see a lot about a program that I think is really really cool– the Muttigrees program that Purina is supporting, is really great– I got to see firsthand the impact that these muttigrees make on the children in these classrooms and then vice versa, so we are promoting this program called “Every Dog Is A Star,” where we’re asking people to post a photo or a video of their dog to Facebook/Twitter/Instagram: tell us why your dog is the star of your family! If you tag #BHDogShow and tag @Purina, Purina will donate $5 to the Muttigrees program, so it’s a great cause and an easy way to get Purina to donate five bucks. So post a photo or video of your dog, tell us why they’re the star of your family, and $5 per post will be donated to the Muttigrees Program.

“the old man appeared to be talking to himself until he turned to the boy and said, “it’s because aliens don’t ring doorbells.” To the guys in the band, the phrase ‘aliens don’t ring doorbells’ has some ring of truth to it and the name felt just right.” aliensdontringdoorbells is in the Jim Brickman Show – Artist Spotlight.
