At least one thing worked out for Jesse James today.

His pit bull Cinnabun, who had gone missing for the second time in three months this week, turned up Thursday afternoon at the apologetic mechanic's Anaheim motorcycle shop.

"We rarely go into our storage room in the production building but Cinnabun found her way in somehow," read an update on the West Coast Choppers website. "She's back in the office and in high spirits."

Well, that makes one of James' loved ones.

So back Cinnabun will go to the Seal Beach home the Monster Garage star had been sharing with Academy Award winner Sandra Bullock up until yesterday, when she reportedly split in the wake of some rather cringe-worthy tabloid items detailing his alleged infidelity.

If Jesse James is looking for a good week, he's clearly barking up the wrong tree.

Amidst all the reports that he's on the outs with his wife and America's sweetheart Sandra Bullock, he's also lost his dog...yet again.

The lost pet specialists at Home Again confirm to E! News that they are "working on the recovery" of the Monster Garage star's 10-month-old pit bull terrier, Cinnabun. It went missing Monday, the same day the Oscar winner reportedly packed up and left their Long Beach home.

A poster sent out by the firm says she's wearing an "orange printed collar with her name" and phone number.

If you're feeling that uneasy sense of déjà vu, you're right. History is repeating itself (and we're not referring to the Best Actress Curse this time).

The pup went missing in late January and was recovered by pooch detectives Find Toto three weeks later. A slew of Twitter pictures of the happy reunion between the tattooed West Coast Choppers CEO and the canine.

Could this be karma, or some other sort of divine action?

Man finds dog? Now that's news.

After a heart-wrenching, three-week, "cautiously optimistic" search, Jesse James was finally reunited with his beloved Cinnabun today.

"Woooooo Hooooo!!!! It's Her!!!" he tweeted, along with the first of several adorable pics of his reunion with the 10-month-old pitbull. "So Happy! She looks like she hz had quite the Adventure!"

Jesse James has been missing his Cinnabun in the mornings.

Sandra Bullock's motorcycle-building hubby has enlisted Find Toto, the same service that helped Jessica Simpson look for her ill-fated Daisy, in the search for his lost pit bull, Cinnabun.

The 9-month-old pup has been gone since Jan. 25, but with help from a 30-second audio message alerting neighbors to be on the lookout and frequent Twitter updates, there may be a crack in the case.

Trouble for Michael Jackson's scattered menagerie.

Two of the giraffes who once made their home at Neverland Ranch have died within the last few months and PETA is calling on authorities to confiscate two others from the men who took possession of the animals as part of a plan to build a 175-acre wildlife preserve in Page, Ariz.

Freddie and Tom Hancock leased the land in 2008 but, according to reports, have never posted a required $100,000 bond or notice of credit and the city has started eviction proceedings.

Meanwhile, there are those poor, dead giraffes.

Whoa! Is this actor auditioning a new production of Ass You Like It by William Shakesrear? We know it certainly looks like it, but this hunk du jour is really just getting ready to schlep his pet pooch through LAX.

According to our spies, he moved his mixed-breed rescue dog, Charlotte, out of his girlfriend's house after a holiday stay.

If that sounds like the sign of a serious relationship, maybe it is, since said GF also spent quality time with Mr. Ben Dover's parents this Christmas.

But who is this bareback bonus, this poster boy of the peekaboo posterior, this lumbar-licious lookie-loo?

Didn't the gang look lovely together at the New Moon premiere last night?

Too bad they weren't all there. Rachelle Lefevre was MIA.

But actress, who played Victoria in both Twilight and New Moon but was famously dismissed for Eclipse, wasn't a no-show just because of sour grapes. It turns out last night was sour for her for completely separate reasons.

"2 fans at the premiere: w/ Honey in hospital & being fired from Eclipse tonight was just 2 emotional 4 me & I couldn't manage it. So sorry," she Twittered last night.

Honey is a dog she adopted from an animal rescue, and who recently inspired her to become the spokeswoman for Best Friends' Puppies Aren't Products campaign.

Honey's health—and Rachelle's ability to attend the premiere—weren't looking promising earlier yesterday, when she tweeted, "Honey is in the hospital and I don't know what's going to happen. I wonder if you can die from a broken heart..."

We wish the honey and her Honey the very best.

It's Friday, so naturally, a beaver was the big guest on the CBS Early Show. Make that, a full-bladdered beaver. Though not for long.

Blame nerves, blame nature, blame an oddly well-honed sense of urinary precision, but just a few short moments into the animal segment, unsuspecting correspondent Debbye Turner Bell was sprayed by a blast of liquid excretion.

No problem, these things happen. But rarely do they happen twice in a row.

As Bell made her way toward a towel-bearing minder, the beaver struck again, this time releasing another stream of pee right in her face.

We don't know whether to be impressed or grossed out. The Early Show, though, clearly wanted us to go with the latter, providing as they did a slow-motion reel of the incident.

For which we thank them.

Jessica Simpson, everyone's favorite punching bag, came to terms with the loss of her Maltipoo, Daisy, last month. (So did Nick Lachey, btw, don't forget him!) Now it seems people are tormenting Jess with news of Daisy's miraculous resurrection, and obviously she does not appreciate it.

"People have been contacting my family and friends saying that Daisy has been found. Untrue. People are so cruel...please respect her memory," Jessica pleaded on her Twitter last night.

In other (read: better) missing Maltipoo news, Brooke Burns was reunited Friday with her lost dog, Max—making for at least one happy Hollywood pet owner.
