Just maybe, "Allegra" got her name because her fur is non-allergenic? Or...maybe she moves around at a brisk tempo and "Allegra" is the female version of "Allegro". Looks like "Dali" is wondering why she is laying on the piddle pad.

I asked Hugh today if the new pup's name was inspired by Rodgers & Hammerstein's ALLEGRO. He said that hadn't even occurred to him.
He arrived late but still signed and posed generously. I wouldn't have thought he had the time.

Cheesecake and peanut butter cups are my downfall. But what a way to go!
By the way, Hugh confessed he ate only "some of" that hot fudge sundae. I had a feeling that would be the case. He's just inhumanly disciplined. Must be a robot. It's the only possible explanation.
Ellen.

Not only that - he probably spent another hour in the gym to "atone" for the few tablespoons of that sundae Moi - as I have some dietary restrictions ( health), my holiday cheat sins are a taste of a little bit of this and that ( anything with cream, a teaspoon of sugar, some luscious fruits and nuts, a bit of chocolate -- the list grows long) smiley-happy082 Jo

If he's a robot, they clearly lost the specifications after he was built because why on earth would they stop making this model!?

This is a very old set of video clips taken mostly from the documentary on Sunset Boulevard ( I am sure most of us have seen these clips) - but I find it very insightful on the kind of person and personality Hugh Jackman has become -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvPbDRv-59E*Looks wise- he looked adorable when he was young, but he has really aged well - even more manly and charismatic now. *But the basic person has not changed - down to earth and well-grounded ( his response on how he would take a bland reception to Sunset Boulevard). He continues to be a very gracious person. His love of family is still a first priority. The relationship between father and son continues to be a shining light, despite the health issues for the senior Jackman. *As a performer - of course he has improved a lot but some basic traits remain **Mum said he was a natural showoff - and even more so onstage ( check out the reviews of TBFO and even in a relatively quiet role like The River - the charisma simply oozes out ). **He still steals shows/movies even in cameos ( XMEN:First Class and now Night at the Museum) **There is a certain amount of emotionalism that marks his performances ( which probably explains how naturally tears come to him when involved in an emotional scene -- Soliloquy from Les Mis, the socks-scene in Prisoners, the tears-coursing end-scene for Steady Rain, the monologue in the finale for The Prestige, etc) **He still prefers serious theatre such as The River ( but is flexible enough to consider other works -- from Beauty and the Beast to XMen to Pan) Who would ever think that the road after the failed production of SUNSET BOULEVARD would open up to such a highly successful and versatile career across ponds, across mediums ( film or stage), across roles ( hero/heel, superhero/villain, romantic/Wolverine, flamboyant/serious, etc). I was lucky to have seen him live in Oklahoma! in London, but if I could turn the clock back, I would have loved to have seen him in Beauty and the Beast and Sunset Boulevard smiley-happy082...although the original CD of BATB and a bootleg audio of SB floated around for a while. Also, I missed him in Carousel, but ogling at a bootleg helped get a sample of his musical chops then! Jo

When asked about what the "surprise" was, he teased "not yet." Well, I think we can safely assume it's not a third dog. Ellen
