Mickey Rourke grieves for his dog — at a New York fashion show?
Apparently, Oscar favorite Mickey Rourke is not that devastated by his Chihuahua Loki's death.
Loki passed away Monday at age 18, and the next day, Mickey Rourke was feeling strong enough to go to designer Domenico Vacca's runway show during New York Fashion Week.
Oddly, Mickey was so distraught in 2002 when Loki's father, Beau Jack, died, he couldn't return to his home for weeks.
He told reporters: "I gave him mouth-to-mouth for 45 minutes before they peeled me off. Depressed? He died at my home, and I didn't go back for two weeks."
Maybe that's why he's not hiding out at home now. Or is Mickey looking for a hot new model girlfriend, maybe one who loves little dogs, because he still has a few more pooches at home?
Do stars look cuter with puppies? You decide!
Rourke used to be a familiar face at the Big Apple shows when he was married to model Carre Otis.
But then there was their very public breakup, a 1994 spousal abuse charge (charges were eventually dropped) and him going on all creepy ex-boyfriend, following her around New York runways during the collections.
Maybe along with all his recent acting awards, he's finally found fashion world forgiveness?
Wonder if he's planning on wearing a Domenico Vacca tux for his Oscar carpet stroll Sunday?
Anyway, we're sure Loki would want his master to be happy. Dogs are like that.
So if Mickey replaces his Chihuahua with a sexy young fashion model, so be it.

I like him, I like him in the movie the Wrestler, but he won't win. I don't like Penn so much, but he will win.
Wow...someone not like Rourke that much? We just lost our beloved dog of 13 years this past December and it was devastating. Depressed in an appropriate word. I still have days where it just hits me in the gut. The house was noticably emptier. She was part of our family. I hated being at home because all I saw was that she wasn't there, but I needed to grieve too. I don't know Rourke's grieving process, but damn...feelings anyone? Clearly not a pet person. And clearly quick to throw stones at personal moments. Nice.
