Did the dog upstage Jennifer Lopez?

Many of the reports coming out of this week's premier of the new Jennifer Lopez movie, "The Back-up Plan," say the star was upstaged by her four-legged co-star.

By numerous accounts, Nubbins stole the show. Nubbins is an able-bodied Boston Terrier who, thanks to Oscar-worthy acting skills, plays a special needs dog in the movie.

According to this report in USA Today, two other dogs named Nip and Tuck helped Nubbins portray the needy movie dog named Nuts. "One was good at faces, one was good at walking in the chair, and one was good at moving his head and fighting with you," Lopez told the paper.
