Diane Warren’s newest family member has truly been hogging the spotlight.
The Oscar-nominated songwriter came out victorious in an Aug. 20 bidding war over a baby pig that became a viral sensation after it ran amok on the streets of West Hollywood, Calif.
"Diane saw the news clips and saw the little pig running in West Hollywood,” Marcia Zwilling, managing director of the Diane Warren Foundation, told ABC7, “and she just called me and said, ‘Please get the pig, get the pig!’"
After the 11-week-old pig—who social media users lovingly dubbed “Wilbur” after the Charlotte’s Web character—was rescued on Aug. 15 and taken to the West Los Angeles Animal Services Center, no owners came forward to claim the creature.
So, a silent auction was held Aug. 20 for the four prospective adopters that came forward, “which is a process that provides a fair and competitive way to determine the adopter without favoritism,” LA Animal services told NBC4 Los Angeles.
And while Warren holds the record for most Oscar losses at 17, she may have won the most important contest of all by squealing the deal to take home Wilbur.
The pig will now live at Warren’s seven-acre animal sanctuary in Malibu, where Zwilling told ABC7 he will enjoy "gourmet salads every day, beautiful acreage, other friends [and] other animals.”
“It's going to have an amazing life,” she noted, “and grow up to be a very, very, very happy pig."
For her part, Warren is hamming it up after meeting the newest addition to her animal sanctuary, which also includes a runaway cow that escaped a California slaughterhouse in 2022.

“This is the second wild animal I’ve saved on the streets of L.A.," Warren told ABC7. “I lose Oscars but I won a pig... it's fun. It's fun."
As for what the Grammy winner will call the animal?
“We have a Wilbur at the ranch already, so is this Wilbur, the Sequel?” she said. “I think his name should be Hollywood.”
