Val's pals

Since he began mulling over a run for governor of New Mexico, actor Val Kilmer has been making nice with anyone and everyone in Washington — including its animals.

Kilmer stepped in as a last-minute honorary host for Saturday's "Fashion for Paws," the annual runway show that benefits the Washington Humane Society.

He couldn't get here to walk the runway himself, however. "He wanted to get involved, although he couldn't be here," said the Humane Society's Tara de Nicolas. "He'll be back in May."

She said Kilmer rescues animals on his own at home in New Mexico.
