At Thursday night's DogCatemy party in Manhattan, shock jock Howard Stern kept his female on a tight leash—one of them, anyway. Stern arrived with Beth Ostrosky, his fiancée, and Bianca Romijn-Stamos-O'Connell, his English bulldog.

"This is all overwhelming for her," Stern said, pointing to his jowly hound as dogs barked and sniffed all around the red carpet. "Then again, I probably overwhelm her too," he said with a smile.

The benefit was for North Shore Animal League and the dogs were as prim and proper as their hosts, many turning up to the Capitale event in mini tuxes and ties that probably cost more than many adults' finest duds. Bianca, appropriately for the man who popularized radio nudity, was butt nekkid.

As Howard's other gal in attendance, Beth, told a bevy of cameras about her ensemble and shoes, Howard joshed, "I only own one suit, and you're looking at it. Same suit, different event."

Also on hand was Law and Order SVU's Richard Belzer with his two pups, BeBe and Django, after noted musician Django Reinhardt. "Both of these guys are French, so they're very well mannered. In fact, two of our friends have told other pals of ours that were they to die and come back, they'd like to be reincarnated as our dogs because we treat them so well and they have such a nice life."
