Following last year's untimely demise of Kim Kardashian's white teacup kitten, Mercy, her sister Khloe was spotted in Sherman Oaks this week scouting for an equally pint-sized accessory.

"On Wednesday Bruce and I went out to eat and saw a pet store and I couldn't resist saying hi to the puppies," Ms. Odom blogged. They were SO cute!!!!! One is a Yorkie, one is a Shorkie and one is a Morkie. I'm not kidding LOL. I wanted to take one home so badly? I'm a sucker for puppies." Read on for more of this week's celebrity sightings.
