Mickey Rourke is getting an Oscar after all!
The Academy Award-nominated star, who recently lost his beloved dog Loki, says he's getting a new Chihuahua this week and he's going to name it Oscar.
"The Wrestler" star may have lost to Sean Penn last night for the Big Award but he's telling friends that he'll have his Oscar regardless.
"Mickey has other dogs but he misses Loki terribly," a friend of the star tells RadarOnline.com. "He doesn't want to wait long either - he wants to get his new pooch this week."
