Fur flies in pet gala fracas

SOME of the four-legged guests were better behaved than the humans at a recent starstudded Malibu, Calif., pet-rescue charity event, we hear — when a scuffle dramatically broke out between the host’s husband and another guest.

A source said that at Alison Eastwood’s annual upscale Eastwood Ranch Foundation benefit at Malibu Wines, guests included Eastwood’s movie-star brother Scott Eastwood, Kim Basinger and Denise Richards, plus adorable animals for adoption. But an altercation allegedly broke out at the Wags, Whiskers & Wine shindig between Eastwood’s husband — manly chainsaw carving sculptor Stacy Poitras — and a Hollywood screenwriter pal.

Our spy said that as the vino flowed, burly Poitras got into some sort of disagreement with a guest, Mark Lawrence Miller. That’s when, allegedly, “Stacy first pushed the guy a little.” After things seemed to cool down, “Stacy came back from across the venue and ran and tackled the other guy to the floor, literally right next to the carpet where everyone was arriving,” said a source. The shocked guest added, “They went straight down into concrete and were wrestling for a bit until security came. They were going to ask Stacy to leave, but given the event, told him to behave.”

Alison’s action-star brother Scott (“The Fate of the Furious”) enjoyed the show. “Scott watched the whole thing go down and said pretty loudly, ‘This is the best charity event ever!’ ” a spy said. A pal joked to the star, “Use your indoor voice.”

Alison — the daughter of film legend Clint Eastwood — married Poitras, of TV’s “Chainsaw Gang,” in 2013.

A rep for the couple downplayed the incident, commenting: “There was a minor misunderstanding between Stacy and Mark . . . and it was resolved quickly thereafter . . . The misunderstanding was between two men, Stacy and Mark, and that was it . . . Alison, Stacy and Mark have been and still are great friends.” We heard that another guest was jostled in the melee, but the rep said that no one else was impacted by the row. Both Miller and a rep for Scott did not get back to us.

Even if the fur flew, we hear that donations exceeded expectations, benefiting Eastwood’s respected animal-welfare and -rescue organization.
