The Chihuahua`s reign as the elite furry accessory of Hollywood celebrities is coming to an inglorious end with the rise in popularity of pugs. Pugs are already having paparazzo pages all to themselves.

The little flat-faced canines are showing up in ads for Barneys New York, in the arms of celebrities Jessica Alba and Balthazar Getty, fashion designers Valentino and Tommy Hilfiger, Jenna Elfman, Paula Abdul, Mickey Rourke, Billy Joel and Chris Kirkpatrick of 'N Sync. Pug Mimi la Rue enjoys a celebrity status on her owner's (Tori Spelling) show

'So NoTORIous.'

Alba posed with her Pugs Sid and Nancy for the cover of Animal Fair magazine. Italian couturier Valentino is so damn crazy that he's had more than a dozen pugs in his lifetime, as many as seven at one point. He named his Oliver collection after his first tawny-and-black pug.
