Where the Celebs Keep Their Oscar Trophies
- Russell Crowe (Best Actor, 2001, 'Gladiator') reportedly keeps his in a chicken coop on his ranch in Australia where, he claims, it's inspired his hens to lay larger eggs.
- Timothy Hutton (Best Supporting Actor, 1981, 'Ordinary People') recently told USA Today, "About five years ago, my sister and I were having a party at my house in upstate New York. She put it in the refrigerator. She thought that would be kind of funny to put the Oscar in the refrigerator when people would go grab a beer or something ... It's still there."
- Jack Nicholson (Best Actor 1998, 'As Good As It Gets,' Best Actor, 1976, 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest,' Best Supporting Actor, 1984, 'Terms Of Endearment') - The one-time Joker was rumored to use one of his three Oscars as a hat stand.
- Jodie Foster (Best Actress, 1989, 'The Accused,' Best Actress, 1992, 'The Silence of the Lambs') - "I used to keep them in the bathroom because they looked good with the faucets. But when they started getting corroded on the bottom, I had to move them to a trophy case in my den."
- Elizabeth Taylor, Susan Sarandon, Lionel Richie and Sean Connery also keep their Oscars in their bathrooms.
- Jimmy Stewart (Best Actor 1941, 'The Philadelphia Story') sent it to his father in Indiana, Pennsylvania, who displayed it in the window of the family's hardware store for 25 years.

World's Tallest Dog Verified
An Arizona canine is now the world's Top Dog. Giant George -- all 43 inches tall and 245 pounds of him -- was named the world's Tallest Living Dog and Tallest Dog Ever by Guinness World Records on Monday. The four-year-old gray Great Dane from Tucson, Arizona, made it into the record books after Guinness sent its own inspector to verify his height, measured from paw to shoulder. Giant George, who has his own website -- GiantGeorge.com -- as well as Facebook and Twitter pages, beat out his nearest rival, Titan, a Great Dane from San Diego, California. Giant George consumes about 110 pounds of food each month sleeps on his own queen-sized bed inside owner Dave Nasser's house.
