I know we are all focusing on the negativity that Will Smith caused at the Oscars. However, there were a lot of positive things that happened during the Academy Awards. Things like Troy Kotsur winning the Oscar and Lady Gaga telling Liza Minnelli, “I got you.”
While those were in front of the camera, there was something really sweet happening behind the scenes.
During the In Memoriam, Jamie Lee Curtis paid tribute to the late Betty White by holding a puppy from Paw Works that needed a home. I say needed because Mac N Cheese is living with her new family. John Travolta shared the happy news, “Ben adopted this dog from last nights Oscar tribute to Betty White. Thank you @curtisleejamie & @pawworks”
Curtis explained how it all happened. “A MAGICAL ending to the story from last night. At the Oscars I reconnected with my friend, John Travolta. @johntravolta We starred together in the movie PERFECT back in 1984. I had already left the Dolby theater last night after honoring Betty White and was on my way home when someone texted me a photo of John holding little mac & cheese in the green room before his presentation of the best actor Oscar. I thought it was so beautiful to see him with her and then today I found out that he and his son, Ben have adopted beautiful little mac & cheese and are taking her home today,” the actress wrote. “It is an emotional end and a perfect tribute to Betty White and it shines a light and AMPLIFIES the message that heroes who, like Betty, and Chad from @pawworks and Nancy from @perfect_pet_rescue and the team at @maedayrescue and the hundreds of thousands of other rescues, who love and support ANIMALS, that rescuing animals and offering them shelter from the storm of life and a warm and loving home is one of life’s most important actions we humans can take! #adoptdontshop”
Talk about six degrees of separation, Betty White worked with Jamie Lee Curtis in You Again, and she also worked with Travolta in Perfect. And now Travolta is working with Mac N Cheese on The Luckies Puppy.
Too bad Mac N Cheese is a girl because Oscar would’ve been an excellent name for her. However, since she is a girl, maybe they can go with Adele Dazeem. Too soon?
