John-Michael Howson is an author, Hollywood reporter, entertainer, and recipient of the Order of Australia Medal. Of his many achievements I'm personally amused that he appears in Houseboat Horror (1989), regarded by some as the worst Australian movie ever made. Here he is (below) with his Guatamalen life-partner Alfie, and their four chihuahuas. The smooth-coat chis are Spot at age 13, and Spot's parents Sweetie and Sugar, 14. [Photos by Joe Armao]
