An 8-year-old Pekingese is the winner of this year’s World’s Ugliest Dog Contest.
This is the first victory for Wild Thang, a 5-time competitor in the annual event held at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in the northern California city of Petaluma. The Pekingese, whose owner Ann Lewis received $5,000 in prize money, placed second three times before coming out on top this year.
With his long and extremely fluffy coat and stick-out tongue, Wild Thang, who grew up in Los Angeles but now resides in North Bend, Ore., was one of eight canines vying for the prestigious title on Friday evening. (According to a spokesperson for the contest, there were 10 contestants, but two dropped out. Wild Thang was a late entry to the lineup, which is why he is not featured on the main web page for this year’s competition.)

“Wild Thang was a fan favorite,” said California State Treasurer Fiona Ma, one of the judges, in an Associated Press video at the event. “The fact that he had been competing for five times and only came in second [until now], kind of like the bridesmaid and never the bride, really tugged at our heartstrings. He deserved to win.”
Ma added some fun facts about Wild Thang.
“He’s never had a haircut,” she said. “He likes to sleep on ice packs, believe it or not. And he is just a sweet dog.”

Most of the dogs in the contest, which has been going on since the 1970s, are rescues. According to his biography on the fair’s press site, Wild Thang contracted distemper from a rescue foster when he was young. “He survived, but not without permanent damage,” his bio states. “His teeth did not grow in, causing his tongue to stay out and his right front leg paddles 24/7.”
“This world-renowned event celebrates the imperfections that make all dogs special and unique,” states the World’s Ugliest Dog Contest website. “The annual World’s Ugliest Dog Contest is not about making fun of “ugly” dogs, but having fun with some wonderful characters and showing the world that these dogs are really beautiful!”

Lily Allen Says She Often Turns Down Husband David Harbour's Sex Requests
![Lily Allen Says She Often Turns Down Husband David Harbour's Sex Requests](https://imagez.tmz.com/image/66/16by9/2024/06/22/6685399b5ee146d0b2196cb47fe39ee6_xl.jpg)
Lily Allen‘s getting real about her sex life … saying she’s just not as experimental in the bedroom as she used to be — and, she often turns down her husband’s sexy time desires.
The actress talked through it with Miquita Oliver on their “Miss Me?” podcast … pulling back the sheets on hooking up with her man David Harbour — and, she says she regularly axes her dude’s desires.
The way LA explains it … she’s not trying to kink-shame DH — but, she admits David will say he wants to experiment between the sheets, and then straight up tells him it’s not happening.
She says she doesn’t try to shoot him down in a mean way … but, she jokes she regularly says she has a headache and doesn’t feel up to gettin’ down in that way.
When asked why she’s not as adventurous as she used to be … Lily chalks it up to quitting drinking — saying she almost never had sex without being intoxicated before getting with Harbour.
Lily also gives some details on her past behaviors … including hooking up with female sex workers — something she previously revealed in her memoir “My Thoughts Exactly.”
Lily jokes she hopes David — who she married back in 2020 — doesn’t listen to the pod … ’cause if so, he might wonder where all her sex appeal went!
Sounds like the two are still very much in love … even if they’re not always getting their kink on.

Erik Weihenmayer has an amazing resume as an explorer and adventurer, which is even more impressive since he completely lost his sight as a teenager. He was the first blind person to climb Mt. Everest, and then the first to climb the other six highest mountains on each continent, but nothing he’s done requires as much sheer courage as appearing with us on Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me.
