Cinnabun to Jesse James: Help! I Hate L.A.
Jesse James has moved on to greener pastures -- Austin, TX, -- but poor Cinnabun is still stuck in Long Beach, CA.
Jesse has officially moved lock, stock and barrel, but sans Cinnabun ... he says because his pooch is an escape artist and he needs to secure the fencing around his Austin property before shipping the pooch to the Lone Star State.
You'll recall ... Cinnabun turned up last February and was MIA for nearly a month, before the dog was returned 23 pounds lighter.
And Jesse says the dog went missing again a short time later.

Rachel Uchitel Milks Another Tiger
Rachel Uchitel has finally met a tiger she can't squeeze $10 million out of ... and TMZ has obtained the footage of the exotic encounter.

Dr. Frank Ryan's Dog -- A Survivor
TMZ has learned Jill, Dr. Frank Ryan's border collie -- who survived the crash that took the doctor's life -- will be OK.
Sources connected with the treatment of the dog tell us, the dog is stable and should recover from her eye and paw injuries. One person from the clinic where the dog was taken after the crash told us, "The CHP was instrumental in saving the dog, by taking her to an emergency facility that was equipped to handle her injuries."
We're told the dog was released today to a member of the staff at Dr. Ryan's ranch. The dog was then taken to her regular vet, who checked Jill out and gave her "a clean bill of health." The dog is on her way back to the ranch right now.

Bugged Out VH1 Star -- I Had to Bomb My Own House
VH1 star Kerry "Egg-in-the-Leg" Schwartz filled her whole house with toxic gas yesterday -- all in the hopes of murdering every bug in sight ... especially the ones that burrow into people's skin and lay eggs.
Schwartz -- who recently underwent surgery to remove insect eggs from deep inside her leg -- tells TMZ, she paid $1,000 to have her whole place bug bombed by a local company ... and according to her, every last inch of her house got the full pesticide treatment.
If that weren't bad enough -- the "Frank the Entertainer in a Basement Affair" winner claims she also had to dump her mattresses, pillows and sheets in the trash ... basically anything that could potentially harbor skin-burrowing creepy crawlies.
Schwartz -- who has to check in with her doctor again in the next few days -- says she's "trying to stay positive."

VH1 Star -- 'I Got Laid By An Insect'
VH1 reality star Kerry Schwartz has a sense of humor about the insect that burrowed inside of her leg and used her as a human incubator ... telling us last night, "I got laid by an insect!"
TMZ spoke with Kerry on her way to meet with doctors at a New York hospital -- where she told us, "There's actually, like stuff ... stuffed inside of my skin right now that they have to remove ... which is why I'm here."
Kerry -- who's still in a tremendous amount of pain -- also told us doctors believe her uninvited inhabitants may have either been spiders or some sort of fly.
But the chick who won "Frank the Entertainer in a Basement Affair" says she's staying positive --"I'm thinking maybe I'll get superpowers soon ... because that's what happened to Spider-Man when he got bit."
UPDATE: TMZ has learned Kerry stayed overnight at the hospital -- after doctors decided they wanted to keep an eye on her condition. She's expected to be discharged sometime today.

VH1 Star -- An Insect Laid Eggs Inside My Leg!
One of the most stomach-turning urban legends of all time just came true for a VH1 reality show winner ... when she discovered that an insect had laid a giant sac of eggs INSIDE of her leg!!!!!!!
24-year-old Kerry Schwartz -- who won VH1's "Frank the Entertainer in a Basement Affair" -- claims she decided to head to the ER on Sunday after noticing a bump resembling a bug bite on her leg ... that had grown to the size of a handball.
Schwartz tells TMZ, doctors quickly determined it wasn't a bite ... and sliced into the bump to get a better look ... revealing a nest of "insect eggs" buried deep inside of Kerry's flesh.
Doctors performed a two-hour surgery -- during which they scooped the eggs out of a gaping hole in her thigh ... leaving Kerry with a pretty nasty wound.
Kerry tells us she has another doctor's appointment tomorrow -- you know, to make sure there aren't any leftovers. As for the burning question -- what kind of bug was it? -- Kerry tells us the doctors weren't sure.
Sleep tight.

'American Idol' Finalist -- Fury Over Hunting Show
Former "American Idol" finalist Kristy Lee Cook has landed right in the crosshairs of an animal rights group -- over a new reality show in which she's on the hunt for a record contract ... and animals to shoot.
While promoting her new reality/hunting show "Goin' Country," Cook -- who placed 7th on "Idol" in 2008 -- recently said, "I never used to like killing animals until I got out and experienced it. It's the food chain. Animals are here for us to eat."
Obviously, the statement didn't sit well with the group In Defense of Animals, who see things a little differently ... saying, "Contrary to Kristy Lee's beliefs, animals are meant to live out their lives in peace, not to be killed for our enjoyment."
