Miley and Mom, Making Music

Tim K: 02/29/2008 6:20 PM


Looks like we can look forward to another Hannah Montana musical masterpiece soon.

Hannah's alter-ego, Miley Cyrus (we're still not sure which is the good one and which is the evil one), was seen entering a Santa Monica recording studio today.

The 15-year-old was accompanied by her mother, Tish (rhymes with "Dish"), who held her daughter's hand as they approached the studio. (We're assuming that's because Miley is too young to cross the street by herself.)

Speaking of Miley, In Touch Weekly recently examined the question of whether she's growing up too fast. According to their source, Cyrus was recently at Los Angeles' Boulevard3 nightclub and "having a little too much fun."

The witness noted, "She wasn't drinking alcohol, but she was rocking out."

Can the same be said of her new musical project? Time will tell.

Two Fingers for Lauren

Kelly Osbourne Moonlights as Department-Store Mannequin

Tim K: 02/29/2008 4:46 PM


Well, perhaps "moonlights" isn't the proper word; generally, one has to have a primary job before one can moonlight.

Actually, Kelly was on her way to Kate Moss' post-NME awards soiree, looking stylish if not quite lifelike with a microphone necklace and glittery silver shirt.

Also at the bash was Kate's new fellah, Kills guitarist Jamie Hince.

While we're sure that Kate's party was a rager, Kelly split relatively early, leaving at 1 a.m.

Which gave her plenty of time to scurry back to her lair and avoid exposure to sunlight.

Selma Blair Cheating... on Diet?

G is for Gossip: 02/29/2008 4:24 PM


Rumors have been swirling that actress Selma Blair and her boyfriend, model Matt Felker, broke after he caught her cheating.  Murmurs and whispers say that Matt forgot his wallet at the Hollywood home they share and, when he returned to retrieve it, found Selma sitting on the lap of another man.

Multiple male laps might not be the only thing Blair turns to for comfort.  The usually svelte Selma looks like she has been mending her self-inflicted emotional wounds with comfort food.  But no more!  Blair spent the day at the gym before hopping to her new Audi and driving away.

Maybe Selma just couldn't take having a boyfriend who rendered her the "less pretty' half of the couple.

Amy Winehouse, Looking Swell

Tim K: 02/29/2008 2:50 PM


Whoa; what's going on with Amy Winehouse's face?

We can't help notice that, as she moved her final remaining belongings out of her old place today, Wine-O was sporting a seriously swollen cheek.

Allergic reaction to her newfound sobriety?

Did her dentist go overboard with the novocaine?

Did she fall down while trying to pull her ballet slippers on?

Back-alley run-in with Russell Crowe?

Being big fans of Amy's, were hoping that there's an innocent explanation for all this. Like maybe she's storing nuts in there.

Yeah; that must be it.

UPDATE: WINEHOUSE HAS BEEN CLEARED OF ALL WITNESS-TAMPERING CHARGES IN THE CASE INVOLVING HER HUSBAND, BLAKE FIELDER-CIVIL. CONGRATS, AMY; NOW GO SEE A DOCTOR ABOUT THAT SWELLING.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Do Paris

Tim K: 02/29/2008 2:19 PM


Hey, we didn't know that there's an Absolutely Fabulous remake in the works!

Actually, that's just Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, looking somewhat Eddy and Patsy, as they weave their way toward the Bourdelle Museum in Paris.

We can only imagine that they were there to peruse the vast array of Beethoven-inspired art in the Collection Bourdelle.

We're not sure why they're bothering; after creating the masterpiece that was their I'm the Cute One album, they really have nothing to learn from a hack like Ludwig.

Kenny Chesney's Beer in Mexico

Tim K: 02/29/2008 12:30 PM


Being a country-music superstar has its advantages.Like, people actually pay you to soak up suds and sunshine on a beach in Cancun.

Filming a Corona beer commercial in Mexico, Kenny Chesney seemed to embrace the kick-back atmosphere, pulling off his boots and wriggling his tootsies in the sand as the crew prepared for the shoot.

Of course, we couldn't blame him if he felt compelled to toss back a few. Not only was the poor guy married to Renee Zellweger but, much like Pam Anderson's recent gambit to rid herself of Rick Salomon, Renee quickly filed for an annulment based on fraud,

"The only fraud that was committed was me thinking that I knew what it was like," Chesney later told 60 Minutes. "That I really understood what it was like to be married, and I really didn't."

We'll drink to that.

Janet Jackson's Wide-Eyed Wonder

Tim K: 02/29/2008 11:59 AM


What was going through Janet Jackson's mind as she promoted her latest CD, Discipline, at the Virgin Megastore in Hollywood yesterday?

Was it:

"Oops! I could've had a V-8?"

"Michael's asking how much for the ferris wheel at Neverland?"

or

"Youch! This nipple ornament is cold!"

Our guess is that she was just informed that she also had to make an appearance on Larry King Live. That guy makes us bug out, too.

Body of Model Katoucha Found in Paris River

14030e_katoucha_b_gr_01.jpg

The body of Guinean born model Katoucha Niane was found near the Garigliano Bridge in the Seine River, Paris police said today.

Katoucha was one of the first African models to achieve international success in the fashion world.  She also became very active speaking out against the practice of female circumcision on young girls in Africa.

Katoucha (47) had been missing since January, when she was last seen walking home from a party.  Police are not sure if foul play was involved and are considering that she may have fallen into the river by accident.

Julia Roberts' Hairy Situation

Tim K: 02/29/2008 9:59 AM


Julia Roberts hasn't had the friendliest relationship with the paparazzi--in fact, not too long ago she chased down one shutterbug in her car and confronted him.

So why was she all smiles for the cameras in New York's Meatpacking District yesterday?

Perhaps because she had just come from an appointment with her favorite hairstylist, Serge Normant and, feeling like a Pretty Woman again, she was conducive to having her new look documented.

Then again, it could just be relief over the fact that Serge didn't give her the same hairstyle as her former hubby, Lyle Lovett.

Either way, we're glad to see those pearly whites again, Julia. Drive carefully!

"Dustin Bong" Mexican Love Fest

G is for Gossip: 02/29/2008 4:50 AM


We are really having a hard time deciding on which of the many many permutations of Drew Barrymore and Justin Long's names is the funniest.  Just In Drew?  BarryLong?  Bustin Dong?  For now, we're settling on the hybrid used in the title.

While we've been busying ourselves with that, the two humans in question have, in the meantime, skipped off to spend Drew's 33rd birthday in a Mexican paradise, passing the sunny days loving each other up in the sand.

Doesn't Drew look spectacular in that bikini!?  Yowza.  Lurve does a body good.  While she soaks up the sun, Justin takes a "While in Mexico" attitude and snacks on a tray of nachos.  (Are they actually a traditional food?  We suspect not...)  And check out the tiny little "Lust Shack" they're holing up in!  We're told their accommodations cost only $100/night.  When you've got love, I guess you don't need much else.

A few days later, Justin paddled solo through the waves in a kayak.  Mmmm abs.  We bet Drew was in the love shack, sleeping off the nachos.  Screw you, Dell.  We want ourselves a Mac!  (Check.  Quadruple check.)

Dustin Bong makes us happy!  Click any image below to see our exclusive, 38-photo gallery of their Mexican getaway.

Kirstie Alley's Yellow-Bellied Revue

Tim K: 02/28/2008 6:55 PM


Children in Los Angeles delighted in a rare treat today, as the latest tour of Sesame Street on Ice arrived in town with a parade featuring none other than Big Bird!

Oh, wait. That's not Big Bird? It's Kirstie Alley? Wow.

Sorry, kids.

Kirstie's visit to Krimson Hair Studio today was apparently cut short, as she left the establishment with her hair still wet.

The reason for the abrupt departure remains a mystery.

Perhaps, in a moment of clarity, she realized that her hairstyle was the least of her problems.

Or, probably more likely, she got hungry and decided to go out foraging.

If we were Valerie Bertinelli, we'd be watching our backs right now.

Ashlee and Pete: Totally Not Engaged ... Or Preggers

Tim K: 02/28/2008 5:30 PM


Take heart, guys and gals; if you had your sights set on Pete Wentz or Ashlee Simpson, there's still time to make your move without coming off like a skeevy homewrecker.

Contrary to recent buzz, the couple--seen here at a CD release party for Ashlee's Bittersweet World album earlier this week--is not engaged, according to one of Ashlee's representatives.

Rumors began to circulate about the alleged engagement after Ashlee appeared on Fuse TV's The Sauce and showed off a promise ring that the Fall Out Boy bassist had given her.

"It just means that he hasn't asked my Dad (for permission) yet," Simpson said when asked what the ring meant.

With regard to another rumor--that the pair are expecting a baby--that's a big negative, too, despite a recent FriendsOrEnemies post the pair had made suggesting otherwise, according to Simpson.

We haven't been this disillusioned since our parents told us the truth about the Tooth Fairy, which we're still recovering from. But hey, that was only a week ago, so give us time.

Lindsay Lohan Gets a Leg Up

Tim K: 02/28/2008 3:54 PM


Who wears short-shorts? Lindsay Lohan wears short-shorts.

Temperatures reached into the 80s yesterday in the Los Angeles area, and LiLo took advantage of the unseasonably warm weather to show off her gams while lunching in Beverly Hills.

We have to say, for a girl who's packed about 45 years of life into her 21-year existence, she's holding up pretty good. Look at those legs; smooth, shapely, and not a single puncture wound to be found.

Of course, with her kid sister Ali recently announcing plans to launch her own show-biz career, Lindsay's probably feeling a little extra pressure to keep herself fit these days. That's what we call a healthy competition.

Rihanna's Cheeky Stage Duds

Yowsers; we guess Barbadian bombshell Rihanna is determined to make good on the title of her latest album, Good Girl Gone Bad.

On Tuesday, the singer took to the stage in Dublin in an outfit that must have had attendees' heart rates triplin'.  The barely-there, red-and-black number made her look half-dominatrix, half-superhero and all woman.

Forget the umbrella; we need a fan and a glass of ice-water. It's getting hot in here!

Elle Macpherson's Wild Trip

Tim K: 02/28/2008 11:59 AM


Tragedy was narrowly averted last night as Elle Macpherson exited the Institute of Contemporary Arts' Figures of Speech fundraiser in London last night.

Apparently a bystander took a spill in front of the Australian beauty and nearly took her down with him.

But hey; Macpherson has been a professional model for more than 20 years. With that kind of walking experience, you learn a thing or two.

Elle's superior agility snapped into action and she was able to right herself before her pretty face merged with the pavement.  

First you conquered our hearts, and now you've conquered gravity itself. Way to go, Elle!

Dustin Hoffman Shows the Kids How It's Done

Tim K: 02/28/2008 11:29 AM


Did Villa Lounge run a special on Geritol cocktails last night?

We're not sure how else to explain these photos of 70-year-old Dustin Hoffman partying down at one of Hollywood's hottest nightspots.

Hoffman was at Villa with his wife, Lisa Gottsegen, so we doubt he was trying to pick up LiLo.

Maybe he was just teaching the young'uns the Lindy Hop, or regaling  them with tales about how, when he was a kid, he used to wear an onion on his belt, which was the style at the time.

Alba is Pregnant in Paris

G is for Gossip: 02/28/2008 11:29 AM


We really don't like using the words "Paris" and "pregnant" in the same sentence.  It worries us.

Jessica Alba flew into Paris today.  Paris, France.  (We're just trying keep things clear and avoid reigniting any anxiety our title may have caused).

Jess is in town to promote her latest flop movie "The Eye" and to attend Paris Fashion Week.  We weren't aware any designers were showing maternity wear...  Perhaps Alba just can't wait to drop that bun and get back into fabulous form so she can stop wearing gowns that double as drapes.

See a surprisingly friendly Alba at a Parisian airport.

Jessica Biel: "Easy Virtue" Now, "Nailed" Later

G is for Gossip: 02/28/2008 11:08 AM


Jessica Biel is easy.  Wait, no.  What we meant to say is, she has easy virtue.  Augh.  Wait, not that either.  What we really meant to say is that she's in England filming "Easy Virtue."  

Whoah, calm down there!  To anyone who saw Miss Biel in "The Illusionist," you can stop screaming.  She will not, I repeat, will not be attempting a British accent.  So, a reprise of that particular nightmare is not in the works.

No no.  Jessica Biel will be playing an American (exhale) divorcee who ties the knot in a quickie French ceremony with an Englishman.  That was messy even to write.  

We do know that the movie is based on the play by Noel Coward, that Jessica's character is blonder than a Brady, and that she plays catch with a rubber hot water bottle.  Oh, and the flick co-stars Kristen Scott Thomas, Kimberley Nixon, and Ben Barnes (also featured in these photos).

Take a look at Jessica's "Easy Virtue" by browsing the whole gallery.



Oh, and her next movie is called "Nailed."  Go figure.

Cox Shrinks From Limelight

Tim K: 02/28/2008 10:29 AM


Pop-quiz time. Was Dirt-y girl Courteney Cox holding a water bottle up to her face as she arrived at Los Angeles International Airport because

a) She was having a hot flash;

b) She's still embarrassed by hubby David Arquette's 1-800-CALL-ATT commercials; or

c) She's developed an allergy to cameras that threatens to end her 20-year acting career?

The answer is d) we have no idea, but we certainly hope it isn't self-consciousness. You haven't aged that badly, Court. No matter what, we'll be there for you.

Sienna Miller Picked Up By Cops!

Tim K: 02/28/2008 9:36 AM


Sadly, this is not the sordid tale that some of you might be hoping for.

G.I. Joe starlet Sienna Miller was spotted taking a stroll with Porgy and Bess--her scruffy companions not named Rhys--in London yesterday, quaffing a cool, refreshing Coca-Cola as she ambled along.

It seems that the beverage wasn't quite refreshing enough, however; the cinematic beauty, apparently fatigued from the walk (or perhaps from freaking out on the paparazzi), hitched a ride back home from the police.

Anne Hathaway's Friendly Skies

Tim K: 02/27/2008 7:30 PM


Why did The Devil Wears Prada's Anne Hathaway appear so jovial as she prepared to depart from Los Angeles International Airport?

Well, maybe she hates Los Angeles. God knows, this city can be a cruel mistress.

Or perhaps it's because, even though she didn't win any Oscars, she totally blew away the other gals on the red carpet.

Then again, her ear-to-ear grin could be due to the fact that she's not traveling with her boyfriend, real-estate developer Raffaello Follieri. Raffy was sued last year by a business associate for allegedly misappropriating funds and squandering them, in part, on a private jet trip with Anne.

Nice to see that Anne has wised up and is going commercial. Hope you're flying coach, babe!

Anyhoo, in between shopping and holding hands with a mystery man, Wino stopped to sit at a bus stop and adjust her ratty ballet slippers.  We think a Prince Charming could do this gal some good.  (We are not talking to you, Blake Fielder-Civil.)

Sophie Monk's Lonesome Journey

Tim K: 02/27/2008 5:31 PM


Aside from being beautiful, Sophie Monk is one smart girl.

After all, if we found out that our recently estranged fiance was dating Paris Hilton, we'd be at the health clinic, too.

But that was but one stop for the Date Movie star and former girlfriend of current Paris Hilton boy-toy Benji Madden.

Sophie, who broke up with Benji earlier this month, was seen wisely getting on with her life and hitting the town in Los Angeles today. She grabbed a low-fat latte, did a little grocery shopping and made a trip to Blockbuster, perhaps to rent Fatal Attraction.

Good for you, Sophie; everyone knows that the quickest cure for a broken heart is a busy schedule.  But if we see you at the pet store, intently eyeing the bunnies, we may have to intervene.

Amy Winehouse: "Norway? No Way!"

Tim K: 02/27/2008 4:30 PM


It looks like Amy Winehouse's weekend schedule just opened up a bit.

A Norwegian court has decided to postpone a hearing for her and incarcerated husband Blake Fielder-Civil's drug possession charge, which was scheduled for this Friday.

But that's only because Blake is due in a London court that day for yet another matter.

Gawd, don't you just hate when you have conflicting court dates? Here's a helpful hint, kids: We've found that avoiding arrest does much to eliminate that dilemma.

The postponement couldn't have happened on a better weekend, either; it appears from these photos that Winehouse is in the middle of moving, on top of everything else.

Could she finally be relocating to the Osbournes' London guest house, as previously reported?  We're totally gonna throw a party if that happens.

Mischa Barton Charged With DUI and Pot

Tim K: 02/27/2008 2:15 PM
80120f2_barton_m_b_gr_31.jpgOMG, Mischa! DUI? And P-O-T? WTF?

Yesterday, the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office charged Barton with misdemeanor charges of driving with a blood-alcohol level of .08 or higher, driving without a valid license and possession of 28.5 grams or less of marijuana.

The charges stem from Barton's early-morning arrest in West Hollywood on December 27, after officers observed her Range Rover straddling two lanes and pulled her over.

The former O.C. star appears to be contrite. "Obviously, I'm 100 percent responsible for my actions in this case, and I'm really disappointed in myself," Barton noted on Ryan Seacrest's morning radio show.

Don't worry, Mischa; even if you are found guilty of all charges, you'll probably spend about 23 minutes in jail. Then you'll BRB on the S-T-R-E-E-T.

Anderson to Salomon: "And You Are...?"

Tim K: 02/27/2008 2:00 PM


Hey, look! It's Rick Salomon, a man who's apparently so unsavory that even Pam Anderson is trying to disavow any romantic relationship with him.

Anderson recently filed papers with Los Angeles Superior Court, asking that her quickie Vegas marriage to Paris Hilton's sex-tape co-star be annulled.

The pair have been married for only two months. Anderson cites "fraud" as the reason for the split.
 
How's that?

Perhaps a statement made by Pammy on The Ellen Degeneres Show will shed some light on the matter.

Claiming that their relationship began after they reached an agreement over a $250,000 debt the actress had accrued, Anderson noted, "I paid off a poker debt with sexual favors, and I fell in love. It's so romantic."

Yeesh. Anyway, we caught Rick exiting Villa Lounge in Los Angeles last night, presumably looking for the next lucky lady to take his hand in marriage.

Personally, we don't think there's enough Purell in the world to make that happen.

Heidi Klum Immortal? Robot?

G is for Gossip: 02/27/2008 1:11 PM


Heidi Klum looked fabulous in her Holiday Barbie attire at Sunday's Oscars.  On Monday, Klum got back to Mom Duty and proved she looks fabulous in jeans and a t-shirt while picking her kids Leni and Henry up from their school in Beverly Hills.

We realize that was a bit muddled, so let us clarify:  What we're trying to say, is that Heidi Klum is better than us.  Sometimes, she seems so perfect, in fact, that we are beginning to think she might not be human.  Is it possible that Heidi Klum is actually  the product of fine German engineering?  A super droid spawned by the genius of Berlin scientists and sent to America to make us feel inferior?  Perhaps...

While we further investigate this suspicion, why not browse the gallery and check out those great jeans of hers with the buttons up the leg?  We want some!


Speaking of German engineering, we are also taking donations (in addition to our ever-open handbag donation reception) for a new car...  German engineers.  We're talking to you.

Peek-a-Boo, Winona!

Tim K: 02/27/2008 1:00 PM



Those dark glasses and hat don't fool us, Winona Ryder. We've had your face permanently etched into our memories ever since we sculpted that Ramen-noodle bust of you back in college.

The Reality Bites babe seemed to be camera-shy as she arrived in Paris to attend the ready-to-wear fashion shows taking place there this week. We just don't get it; if we were blessed with her looks, we'd walk down the street demanding that strangers take our picture.

Anyway, we hope she enjoys her Parisian sojourn. And a word to the shows' security guards: you might want to check her bags on the way out. Just sayin'.

Heidi and Spencer Prep for Marriage?

Tim K: 02/27/2008 12:00 PM


Could it finally be happening? Are The Hills' Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt finally getting ready to walk down the aisle?

The all-American couple went on a photo op shopping trip along Los Angeles' Robertson Boulevard yesterday, dropping into  trendy boutique Kitson.

Among their purchases? A wedding day survival kit.

We're not certain about the exact contents of the kit--though we're assuming it includes duct tape, needle-nose pliers and a blowtorch--but we do know that a couple doesn't just go out and buy a wedding day survival kit if there wasn't, in fact, a wedding day being planned.

And of course, we would never accuse Speidi of leading us all on for the sake of heightened publicity.

Good God, we hope this isn't a put-on. If anyone deserves marriage, it's those two.

Britney Spears Shops, World Gawks

Tim K: 02/27/2008 10:54 AM

Receiving the kind of attention normally reserved for visiting foreign dignitaries or flaming, five-car pile-ups, Britney Spears  dropped by the Levi's store in Beverly Hills yesterday.

While Brit-Brit stocked up on jeans, the traditional throng of paps stocked up on pics, snapping away furiously and creating a commotion in and of themselves.

Egads, it's gotten so that a gal can't even pick up a little denim without landing in the news. It's probably enough to make her want to shave her head and attack a car with an umbrella.

Stay strong, Brit! And we hope you bought maternity jeans, if Star magazine's story about you carrying Adnan's bun in your oven is true.

Kate Walsh's Shopping Spree

Tim K: 02/27/2008 10:25 AM


Nothing relieves the stress of a whirlwind publicity tour like a hearty dose of retail therapy. Just ask Kate Walsh--if you can pull her away from the clothing racks long enough to get an answer from her.

In Sydney to promote Private Practice, Walsh and hubby Alex Young hit the trendy boutiques of that city's Paddington district with credit cards a-blazing. The couple dropped a bundle on Scanlon & Theodore tops and Tsubi jeans.

Go for it, Kate! A girl's gotta look stylish when she's on the PR trail. And we love the way you seem to be consoling Alex with a pat on the back of the head as he endures the shopping process.

Janet Jackson's Modest Morning

Tim K: 02/27/2008 9:24 AM


It's Ms. Jackson if you're nasty, but Janet Jackson seemed determined to be anything but nasty during her live performance on Good Morning America yesterday.

On hand to promote her new album, Discipline, Jackson strutted and crooned in an outfit guaranteed to prevent wardrobe malfunctions. Nipple-high pants, white-collar shirt and tie .... what, no pocket protector and horn-rimmed glasses taped together in the middle?

Sigh; how we yearn for the days of Janet's risqué Rolling Stone cover.

Or her days of performing as Penny Gordon on Good Times. That was a really good show. Dy-no-mite!

Christina Ricci's Puppy Love

Tim K: 02/26/2008 6:47 PM


The prospect of living a dog's life doesn't seem quite so distressing, if one could be the dog cradled against terminally sexy Christina Ricci's bosom.

The Black Snake Moan starlet was seen carting her pup (we're assuming that's Buzz Goldicci, the recently acquired companion to Ricci's other dog, Sheriff Steve Goldberg) through Los Angeles International Airport today. Despite the duo's near-criminal cuteness, they were able to make it through security en route to their flight.

Just one question: Could a dog of that size be considered cur-ry on luggage?

Eep; sorry about that. Click below to view the full gallery of 15 photos.

Adnan Gets Benz'ed

Tim K: 02/26/2008 6:00 PM


Starting MSRP on a 2008 Mercedes-Benz CL-CLass? $103,600.

Living in a country where even someone like Adnan Ghalib might feel entitled to own one? Priceless.

Paparazzo/Britney Spears hanger-on Adnan Ghalib dropped by a Mercedes-Benz service center recently, ostensibly to get Brit-Brit's car a tune-up.

In the middle of errand-running, though, Adnan's mind seemed to wander. Then his feet wandered, as he climbed behind the wheel of one particularly seductive Benz.

Could Adnan have been considering a purchase of his own?

Sure, why not, Addy? You've earned it. In some weird way.

UPDATE: According to Star magazine, Britney is pregnant with Adnan's spawn. Hope there's room for a car seat in that Benz, big guy.

Sienna Miller, Hot Shot

Tim K: 02/26/2008 4:30 PM


Look out, photogs; Sienna Miller, whose dislike of the paparazzi is well-documented, is brushing up on her firearm skills.

Miller, seen here arriving at Heathrow Airport with boyfriend/Rod Stewart impersonatoractor Rhys Ifans, has told reporters that she's really enjoyed "kick[ing] some butt" while filming G.I. Joe--particularly, the opportunity to improve her aim.

"The best bit is that I'm doing that gun-twisting stuff," said Miller, who's playing the Baroness in the film. "I'm learning how to shoot properly, and it's all cool and a lot of fun."

No word on whether Miller is also developing her Kung-Fu Grip for the film.

Ashlee Simpson Gets Outta Her Head

Tim K: 02/26/2008 3:30 PM


Ashlee Simpson and Wal-Mart: Have there ever been two entities better suited for each other in the entire history of the universe? We think not. And now, the two have merged to create one gigantic pile of awesomess.

Everyone's second-favorite Simpson girl made an appearance at the Farmingdale, New York branch of the discount chain last night to promote her new single, 'Get Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya),'  a Wal-Mart exclusive. The event was attended by 500 to 600 winners of a local radio contest. According to Newsday, it was total fan-demonium.

"She was really, really, really nice -- and so pretty," gushed one teenage fan.

The feeling was apparently mutual; Ashlee noted, "There's so much love here."

Well, at least unless the CD skips; then she'll probably launch into a tirade blaming her backing band.

Winehouse and Osbourne Make a New Friend

Tim K: 02/26/2008 2:00 PM


Is the carnival back in town already?

Nah; it's just a pink-wigged Amy "Tattooed Lady" Winehouse and Kelly "Ghostface Kella" Osbourne, scaring entertaining a young fan. (Either that, or some bizarre ventriloquist's act is afoot.)

We're not sure what the occasion was, who the girl is, or whether she was forced to adopt Winehouse's makeup style under duress.

But if this is an indication of what kind of scene to expect when Winehouse moves into the Osbournes' London residence, which she announced plans to do earlier this month, we'd say a reality show is in order.

Paris and Benji's Secret Hyde-Away

Tim K: 02/26/2008 11:45 AM


Newly minted celebrity couple Paris Hilton and Benji Madden were spotted celebrating their relationship at Los Angeles' Hyde Lounge last night, before dashing off in the Good Charlotte guitarist's car.

While Hollywood relationships aren't known for their durability, we have a good feeling about this one, and wish those crazy kids all the best.

More importantly, we can't help what this might mean for onetime BFFs Paris and Nicole Richie, what with Benji's bro, Joel, being Nicole's baby-daddy and all. Could a Simple Life spin-off be far behind? Oh, Lord; we think we're developing a case of the vapors.

Here Comes the Fez!

Tim K: 02/26/2008 10:45 AM


No, Anthony "Sir" Hopkins wasn't addressing a Shriners' convention.

The lauded thespian donned a tassled chapeau to unveil a statue of revered British comedian Tommy Cooper in the latter's hometown of Caerphilly, Wales over the weekend.

During the dedication Hopkins delivered a spot-on imitation of Cooper, who wore a fez as one of his trademarks.

"Before I start I just want to say this; this. Or that. Or this is as funny as that," Hopkins joked.

Much to our dismay, the actor didn't depart from the ceremony in a tiny car.

Donny Osmond's Teeth Cleared for Takeoff

Tim K: 02/26/2008 9:49 AM


Good Mormon, starshine!

Eternal heartthrob Donny Osmond flashed his legendary million-watt smile as he prepared to depart from Los Angeles post-Oscars on Monday.

The eternally youthful Osmond had reason to grin as he signed autographs for fans; not only does he have a new album, From Donny With Love, out this week, but a full-scale Osmonds tour has been announced, presumably including his collapsible sister Marie.

Speaking of which, it was recently announced that Donny had hired Marie's 16-year-old son, Michael, as his personal stage manager for the tour. The hiring was something of a lifeline for the troubled lad, who was recently released from rehab.

Hmm; maybe Amy Winehouse can open for them?

Deep Thoughts With Gary Busey

Tim K: 02/25/2008 6:10 PM


Forget the gowns, the glitz, the sublime whimsy of host Jon Stewart.

As far as we're concerned, the standout moment of last night's Oscars came courtesy of Gary Busey.

The traditional banality of the red-carpet interview process was shattered into a thousand tiny pieces when  Busey  approached Ryan Seacrest, who at the time was attempting to extract a trite soundbite from Jennifer Garner and Laura Linney, and engaged Ry-Ry in a stream-of-consciousness ramble.

According to Seacrest, Busey laid the following rap on him, edited for something resembling clarity:

"You are to me, when you're working, an innocent champion of honesty ... Your heart has a way to embrace the truth in your delivery without looking like you are reading from a script .... What spontaneity is--spontaneity comes from an invisible idea that is there before the creation began."

As if to underscore his point, Busey leaned in and planted a kiss on the neck of a visibly nonplussed Garner.

Perhaps this moment was a result of Busey's skull-splitting motorcycle accident several years back. Or was Busey, who converted to Born-Again Christianity following the spill, merely spreading the Good Word, as he saw it?

Either way, we salute Busey for cutting through the pomp and circumstance to keep it real--or unreal, as it were.

Click below to view a gallery of Busey purchasing sandwiches--which he apparently does when he's not providing the rest of us with food for thought.

Cruz Control at Paris Fashion Week

Tim K: 02/25/2008 3:47 PM


While Penelope Cruz celebrated boyfriend Javier Bardem's Oscar-night triumph in Hollywood, her younger--and, dare we say it, more breathtaking?--sister, Monica, was basking in retro-fashion at Christian Dior's Fall/Winter show, as part of the Paris Fashion Week.

Monica, 30, pulled up a front-row seat as Dior's creative director, John Galliano, showcased a groovy body of work that harked back to the days of bouffant hairdos and go-go dancers.

According to Galliano, the sartorial nostalgia trip was inspired by a look through the 1960s archive of American Vogue. The designer noted, "It was a time of optimism and bright colors. It seemed to me what is needed right now."

If you ask us, any place where Monica Cruz is in attendance is sufficiently bright, thanks very much. 

Other shiny, happy people in attendance included Marisa Berenson, Agnes Boulard, Clotilde Courau, Marina Hands and Lucy Liu.

80221y2_farrell_c_b_gr_01.jpgYes, yes; it's all about the post-Oscars coverage today in Celebrity Blog-land.

But we'd like to take a moment to recognize those tireless Internet commentators who've dug deeper to unearth the lesser-known Hollywood happenings amid the awards mania. Without further ado we present the winners of the February 25, 2008 Bloggies:

Kudos to Celebslam, for shedding light on rehab graduate Lindsay Lohan's recent wobbly exit from Villa Lounge.

And to Go Fug Yourself, for having the courage to ask, "Colin Farrell: Fug in the Mug?"

Likewise, big ups to Celebrity Baby Blog for uncovering Sean Combs' endorsement of the J.Lo Twins.

Just Jared, come on down! Good job on dissecting Katie Holmes' not-at-all-cultlike devotion to Tom and Suri.

Hey, Gossip Girls! How could we forget you, and your exemplary job in reporting on Brooke Hogan's camera-hogging bikini romp?

Popsugar? That was pretty sweet, the way you informed us of Christina Aguilera's staff-firing tirade.

And What Would Tyler Durden Do? Why, score our coveted Walter Winchell of the Internet Age award for his coverage of the Jimmy Kimmel-Sarah Silverman wars.

Congratulations, all; please accept an imaginary cookie for your efforts!

Winehouse's Wild Prison Break

Tim K: 02/25/2008 12:19 PM


Say what you will about Amy Winehouse: Her commitment to sobriety might be shaky at times, but she definitely stands by her man.

The recovery-bound chanteuse was spotted once again visiting her imprisoned hubby, Blake Fielder-Civil, yesterday.

Fielder-Civil is currently ensconced in Pentonville Prison (whose other notable guests have included Oscar Wilde, Pete Doherty and The Stranglers' Hugh Cornwell), awaiting trial on charges of "perverting the course of justice" (which probably isn't nearly as much fun as it sounds).

Amy was accompanied by supportive dad Mitch and accessorized with an eye-catching leopard-print head scarf that was half-Erykah Badu, half-Sheena, Queen of the Jungle. (Come to think of it, that's probably a pretty nifty way to smuggle contraband into jail.)

Rooted in devotion as it might have been, the visit was fairly brief; not long after photogs captured the feral-furnished singer heading back to her home in North London.

Which is understandable; after her own recent rehab  stint, Winehouse probably gets a little edgy within institutional walls.

Kudrow's Kick-Back Oscars Day

Tim K: 02/25/2008 11:20 AM


"Oscars? I don't need no steenking Oscars!"

So seemed to be former Friends-ter Lisa Kudrow's motto yesterday, as she skipped Hollywood's hifalutin awards ceremony for a shopping trip to Bristol Farms.

Kudrow was spotted with a gal-pal at the groceries emporium while the rest of the city reveled in its own fabulousness. We have to say, it's pretty refreshing to see a celeb shun the hullabaloo of self-celebration in order to mingle with the lower classes.

At least, we're assuming that was Kudrow's intention. Certainly, it's inconceivable that the star of Romy and Michele's High School Reunion couldn't have secured an invite to the Academy Awards.

No word on what Kudrow picked up at the market, but it's safe to assume one thing: She isn't carrying a statuette in her grocery bags.

Heidi Klum is a Walking Valentine

G is for Gossip: 02/25/2008 11:13 AM


We think only a supermodel could pull off this Galliano gown.  We know it's a little... much, but we like it.  So there!

Pink and red?  Somehow, Klum makes it work.  And her hair is something straight out of a fairytale.  Heidi even brought along Prince Seal to complete the happily ever after look.

We were a bit worried when her earrings actually touched her collar, but we're over it.

However, after donning this look, the Project Runway judge shouldn't say anything negative about contestant Chris March's whimsical designs.

Heidi's Galliano gown will be auctioned off for the Red Dress Campaign for Heart Truth at MyCokeRewards.com to help build awareness for women's heart disease.  (27 photos in the gallery!)

BGO Yays and Nays Oscar Fashions

We wanted to pick three yays, and three nays, but there was just a bit too much goodness (and a bit too much disaster) to limit ourselves to the eerie number.  And so:

Our four fave looks of the night?  Calista Flockhart, Cameron Diaz, Heidi Klum, Marion Cotillard.  These ladies stood out with their unique styles but managed to look flawless.

The four looks to which we'd give our auf wiedersehen?  Ellen Page, Sarah Larson, Keri Russell, and Julie Christie.

There Will Be Bubbly

Tim K: 02/25/2008 10:43 AM


We imagine that the manufacturers of Bayer and Alka-Seltzer were rubbing their hands together in gleeful anticipation last night, as Hollywood wrapped up the 80th Annual Academy Awards and went into full-on party mode.

Alex Gibney and Eva Orner (whose Bush Administration indictment Taxi to the Dark Side won Best Documentary Feature) weren't the only ones in the mood to celebrate. With Vanity Fair canceling its traditional bash this year, the soiree to beat was Elton John's AIDS Foundation event at the Pacific Design Center, which drew a slew of luminaries such as Patricia Clarkson, Faye Dunaway, Marion Cotillard (who took honors for Best Actress, in La Vie en Rose), Sean Penn, Kate Beckinsale, Billy Joel and Sharon Stone. As a rare treat, the host banged out an 11-song, full-band set of his biggest hits, including "Rocket Man" and "Tiny Dancer."

Elton's bash reportedly raised $5.1 million for charity. That ought to at least serve as some consolation to throbbing heads this morning.

Bardem and Cruz's Post-Oscar Party

Tim K: 02/25/2008 9:30 AM


Javier Bardem had reason to be proud last night. Not only did he take honors for Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards for his work in No Country For Old Men, but the film itself won for Best Picture.

Plus, he pretty much made America's hearts melt with his acceptance speech.

So we can't fault him for gripping his Oscar like a scepter, or for wanting to do a little post-awards celebrating.

Bardem and his girlfriend, actress Penelope Cruz, skipped the hype-heavy to-dos and attended a private party last night, their sense of jubilation apparent on their faces.

We have to wonder, though, if Javier's hands might be better occupied. After all, what's the bigger trophy; the miniature gilded dude in his lap, or the full-size Spanish beauty beside him?

Oh well; that question's probably best decided with a coin-toss. There's no question about this, though: Javier is one lucky dude.

Depp and Vanessa Do the Red Rug

Johnny Depp and his baby mama Vanessa Paradis walked the red carpet of the 80th Annual Academy Awards in black.

We're happy Vanessa was there to guide Johnny through the crowd.  With his hair all up in his eyes, we weren't sure if he'd have been able to navigate the mess unassisted.  And that tie?  Just... just, no. 

We found their overall look a bit of a bore, but we must say that Vanessa looks quite nice (and really pulls off that bright red lipstick quite well!).

We're over it.  Your perpetual "dashing-ness" makes up for most any fashion wrongdoing on her part.  We're also just thrilled to see you so happy and in lurve (and maybe a tad bit jealous).  It was kinda cute you didn't let her leave your side, even if she is draped in an Easter egg.

Ellen Page Blahs Us to Death

G is for Gossip: 02/24/2008 10:25 PM


We adore Ellen Page's personal style.  We usually see her and think, "She's so... her.  And we lurve it."

Tonight?  Not so much.  Ellen looked like she either:

a) is playing dress up with something her Puritan* grandmother wore to a funeral

or

b) took a maternity prom dress intended for her pregnant Juno character, belted it, and thought, "That'll do."

We are, however, totally willing to take the crystal-covered minaudiere off her hands when she's ready.

*make believe "Puritan grandmother" is meant for comedic effect and not intended to imply that Page actually has a Puritan grandmother nor intended to offend Puritans... or their grandmothers.

Oh Helen Mirren.  Yes, you're a classy lass, but the sleeves... Is it just us, or do they turn your dress into the reverse version of those two-tone 3/4 sleeve baseball t-shirts.  Unfortunately, this thought popped into our head and we have since been unable to shake it.  However, the bodice on that red dress is absolute perfection on you.  Your crystal-covered clutch?  We WANT it.

We can only hope we look as good as you, you classy hottie you.  This gown looked spectacular when Mirren was moving under lights (then the sleeves turn into magic and totally work).

Jennifer Hudson Comes Back to Earth

G is for Gossip: 02/24/2008 10:10 PM


Last year's Best Supporting Actress winner, Jennifer Hudson left her spacesuit at home today.  Thank.  God.

Despite wearing white, Miss Hudson looks like she's thinning out (not that she needs to).  Well, it's definitely an improvement over last year's disaster.

Um.  We don't know what else to say.  Wig much?

Kristin Chenoweth is Sheathed in Sheer

G is for Gossip: 02/24/2008 10:00 PM


One of our favorite "Daisy Pushers" glided down the red carpet in this Armani Prive gown.

For us, the dress is just so-so.  It was a bit reminiscent of the nip-baring see-through blunder Uma Thurman wore to the Swarovski Fashion Rocks event in October (included in the gallery for your comparison).  This dress makes Kristin look a little wide in the waist when we all know she is super tiny!

But then, take a look at those eyelashes.  Yowza!  Chenoweth's face is flawless.

Kristin sang the nominated "That's How You Know" from Enchanted.  Despite our being underwhelmed by her gown, we are still enchanted by Kristin.

Mixed Feelings for Hilary

G is for Gossip: 02/24/2008 9:54 PM


Our photogs have told us that Hilary Swank is one of those ladies who looks "hot" from every angle.  We concur!  Yet, Swank's past Oscar frocks have thrilled us more.

We were all for this Atelier Versace dress, but were let down by the strange flower adornments.  The way the gown criss-crosses over her waist and hips is perfection.  The Oprah-cut hair is sleek and formal.  But the gown, somehow, leaves us wanting more from the two-time Best Actress winner.

Keri Russell is Really... Tiny

G is for Gossip: 02/24/2008 9:52 PM


Keri Russell, we much prefer what you wore to last night's Independent Spirit Awards.  Don't get us wrong, we are a huge fan of yours.  We would kill for you to make us one of those pies from "Waitress."  But can you please eat a donut?  Or a slice of your pie?  Please?

I don't know.  The gown is just blah.  It's as if Nina Ricci accidentally gave you the muslin copy off the dress form.  We'll say your saving grace is that wonderful diamond necklace and your loosely coifed romantic updo.

Renee Zellweger Sparkles in Silver

G is for Gossip: 02/24/2008 9:50 PM


Renee Zellweger's shocking short cut has finally grown out long enough to grow on us.  Furthermore, her Carolina Herrera gown is glamour incarnate!

The color might make her skin look a little drab, but any points lost there she completely makes up for with those shoes!  Renee's crystal-encrusted Loub's are fabulosity!  The bangles?  Fierce!

Katherine Heigl Makes Us Swoon

G is for Gossip: 02/24/2008 9:44 PM


Simple.  Classic.  Stunning.

Katherine Heigl, when ya gonna mess up?  We love how this fits you.  We love your Marilyn hair.  We love your lipstick--matte, so it's not overpowering.  That little shoulder detail takes it away from being boring.

If we were to say anything negative (and we wouldn't), we might say that we've seen "this" on you before.  But, I guess that can be expected when you are known for being classy and stunning.  We don't really want you to be not that.  Now we're confusing ourselves.

Miley Cyrus: Prom Rehearsal?

G is for Gossip: 02/24/2008 9:42 PM


We aren't entirely sure what Miley Cyrus was doing at the Academy Awards, but we don't send the invitations (we would totally invite us).

Miley walked the AA red carpet in this lovely red Valentino number.  We think it's a nice gown.  Somehow, it was simultaneously veering toward age appropriate and veering toward matronly (maybe it's the gold jewely).  What!?  That doesn't even make sense.  We know.  But that's just how we feel about it, okay?

The cute bow in the back kept things nice and youthful.  We were glad to see the days of Jon Benet Ramsey styling of little girls are long behind us.

What do you think of Miley's Oscar gown?

Diablo Cody is a Leopard Lady... Again

G is for Gossip: 02/24/2008 9:03 PM


Screenwriter Diablo Cody (who took home the statue for Best Original Screenplay) walked her gold flats down the red carpet in this flowing leopard print gown.

Cody kept her ears sparkling with skull earrings and wore a massive skull and turquoise ring.  

Diablo certainly has a thing for leopard print.  She wore it to the BAFTA's and brought a catty clutch to the Independent Spirit Awards (these looks included in the gallery).  

Yeah, she can rock the kitty spots, but we'd like to see something new!

Anne Hathaway Take Our Breath Away

G is for Gossip: 02/24/2008 8:56 PM


We adore Anne Hathaway and were so pleased to see her strut her stuff on the red carpet looking drop dead gorgeous.  The brunette "Princess" was draped in a rose-shouldered Marchesa gown which we think is a vast improvement over the giant bow Valentino affair she wore in 2007.

We love Anne's big brown eyes and we think she wore the best of the red tonight (and there was a lot of red).

Marion Cotillard is a Sexy Silver Snake

G is for Gossip: 02/24/2008 7:53 PM


Marion Cotillard strolled into the Oscars wearing this gorgeous creation by Jean Paul Gaultier (one of our favorites!), and we think she looked stunning.

Between the "scales" effect and the flaring train, we think she looks a bit like an ethereal mermaid, which makes us like her look even more!  (Hooray Ariel-lovers.)  The hair looks soft and romantic and is the perfect style to compliment the overall look.  Necklaces?  Maybe not, but we're willing to forgive Marion.

Congrats to the Best Actress in a Leading Role!

Penelope Cruz Can't Top Herself

G is for Gossip: 02/24/2008 7:43 PM


Penelope Cruz, you embody what we want in beauty.  Your face.  Your hair.  Your long neck.

What we do not want, however, is a tuft of feathers that awkwardly bounces about when we walk.  Said tuft is eye-catching in a way we don't imagine you intended it to be.

But we gotta give you credit, Penelope.  We really couldn't expect you to top what you did on last year's AA runway. In fact, we aren't going to hold this against you, considering last year's dress (and your perpetual beauty) has scored you a surplus of points in our book.

Click any image below to look at a Chanel-clad Cruz at this year's Oscars and reminisce about her flawlessness on last year's red rug.  We've included both styles for your review.

Cameron Diaz Gets It Right

G is for Gossip: 02/24/2008 7:34 PM


Hooray, Ms. Diaz!  At this year's Oscars, you seem to have gotten right the look you so wronged at 2007's event.

It's not too cream.  It's not too pink.  It's simple, but not overly.  It's classic, but not boringly.  The purse, we think, is a bit harsh for the look.  But one could also argue it's balancing.  Overly, we think Cam's style is fun and the perfect compliment to her 1,000 watt smile!

Jennifer Garner Ruffles Our Feathers

G is for Gossip: 02/24/2008 7:28 PM


We got our photos of Jennifer Garner in this tiered black gown and thought, "Ehh..."  Then, we saw it on the television and thought, "Oooooh la la."  Guess it's just one of those gowns that needs to be seen in motion, then it becomes couture indeed.

Jennifer Garner, we think you're charismatic and lovely.  We also think you should donate your sweet, geometric clutch to our cause* at the evening's end.

Oscar Bump Watch: Jessica Alba

G is for Gossip: 02/24/2008 7:15 PM


Oh the hair!  We love it.  It reminds us the wonderfully romantic style Sarah Michelle Gellar wore to the premiere of "The Air I Breathe."

We think the color of her dress is unique.  It whispers pregnancy as opposed to screaming it.  Eye makeup?  A bit dull.  A bit... zombie.

But those dual-tone earrings are kinda great, yeah?  And her gold minaudiere?  Enviable.

Oscar Bump Watch: Nicole Kidman

G is for Gossip: 02/24/2008 7:05 PM


She sure likes the little men, doesn't she?  Well, Nicole Kidman could have another little man (or lady) in her life soon.  The ever-svelte mom-to-be strolled the red carpet in this silky black number that graced her barely-showing pregnant belly just so.

Let's start by saying her hair is pretty great.  Simple, classic.  Doesn't it look soft and touchable?  Untouched by any sticky product.  

The dress, sure.  The necklace... hmmm.  It's nifty?  It fancies up a dress that might otherwise seem too plain for the occasion.  On the upside, if anyone gets too drunk to swing on the chandeliers later, they can always just take a ride on Kidman's jewelry.

What do y'all think about expecting Nic's Academy Awards frock?

Oscar Bump Watch: Cate Blanchett

G is for Gossip: 02/24/2008 6:51 PM


Cate Blanchett strolled into the 80th Annual Academy Awards with her baby bump draped in this purple number.

Bump grade?  A+

Dress grade?  Indecision reigns!  We're digging the gold beads and malachite neck bit.  We think the color is quite royal.  We're less than thrilled, however, with the length (too short, right?) and the embroidery near the bottom (giving it that not-sought-after tablecloth look).  Whatever.  She is a beautiful lady.  Look at that skin!  Flawless.

What do you think?  Compare Cate's look at this year's Oscars to her appearance yesterday at the Independent Spirit Awards and to her (in our opinion) immaculate style at last year's AA's.  All of this in the gallery!

Rehabbing Dunst Runs for the Border

G is for Gossip: 02/24/2008 5:19 PM


While the rest of Hollywoodland is living it up at the Oscar festivities, Kirsten Dunst is playing it down at the Cirque Lodge in Utah.

The actress, who is in Cirque rehab seeking treatment for addictions, made a little excursion to Target with a rather handsome fellow.  The two then smoked cigarettes outside the omni-store before hitting up the drive-thru at a local Taco Bell.

It's nice to see Dunst seeking the help she needs.  It's also nice to see Ugg boots worn in the environment for which they were designed.  Well played^2, Kirsten.

Watch out, Brad.  Hugh Jackman just might be the new hottest dad on the block in the world.  The actor was spotted in all his shirtless splendor taking his two children, Oscar and Ava, to the beach and then to the park in Sydney on Saturday.

His freshly buffed bod and freshly scruffed mug are both for Hugh's revisiting his role of Wolverine in the upcoming X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Liev and Dominic's Mutant Lunch

G is for Gossip: 02/24/2008 11:19 AM


While baby-mama Naomi Watts has been taking little Alex to the beach and to visit his Grandmas, Liev Schreiber has been growing out his whiskers and getting to work on X-Men Origins: Wolverine, in which he'll play Wolverine's (Hugh Jackman's) opponent, Sabertooth.

Schreiber grabbed lunch with another X-Men co-star, Dominic Monaghan (who will be playing Beak), at Swell Bar in Sydney.  

We tried to get part in the film too.  Unfortunately, despite slathering our faces in Rogaine thrice daily, we just couldn't sprout the facial hair in time to get cast.  Oh sigh.

Yesterday, the award-garnering type of Hollywoodland resident flocked to Santa Monica to attend the Independent Spirit Awards.  Considering the event takes place on AA's Eve, we like to think of it as "Oscar Jr." or a wedding rehearsal-type phenomenon for the main event.

Juno took home several honors last night, including Best First Screenplay, Best Female Lead (Ellen Page), and Best Feature.  Out-of-wedlock babies for all!

Angelina Jolie is SO Preggers

So much for flowing tent gowns!  Angelina Jolie showed up to the Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica wearing a curve-hugging LBD the put any speculation over her pregnancy to a screeching halt.  And by curve, we of course mean the one on her abdomen.

A seriously pregnant (weee!) Angelina was the picture of prenatal perfection while she and papa Pitt posed for pics on their way into the event.  So, there's that.

Judy Greer Shops Up a Storm

Tim K: 02/23/2008 4:00 PM


27 Dresses
must've done better than we thought.

Judy Greer went on a tear through Los Angeles' retail outlets Thursday, accompanied by an expecting friend and her husband. The shop-happy trio hit up discount fashion boutique Maxfield Bleu, the yarn barn Knit Cafe, and upscale maternity store Cadeau.

Whew! We're a little worn out just looking at the pictures.

The retail warriors recharged their batteries with some fine desserts and tea at the Sweet Lady Jane bakery. We probably would have gone with a good, stiff drink ourselves.

Paris to Hollywood: "I'm Outta Here!"

Tim K: 02/23/2008 12:00 PM
Paris Hilton_022208.jpgMost people stop at removing their shoes and belts when they pass through airport security. But Paris Hilton goes the extra mile in keeping our airways safe.

Or something. While heading for a departing flight at Los Angeles International Airport, America's Favorite Heiress took off her Rolling Stones tank-top before passing through the metal detector. We're assuming this was because of some sort of metallic fabric in the garment, and not a compulsive urge to disrobe at random.

Equally curious is Paris' decision to split town as the Oscars--and Hollywood's biggest party weekend--approach. We can't imagine that she's suddenly become soiree-averse. Maybe she's just protesting the fact that The Hottie and the Nottie failed to garner any nominations.

Oscar Prep - The Lads

It's Oscar Eve!  Yesterday, we showed you how a handful of the Best Actress nominees have been getting ready for the big day.  Today, two of your favorite (and Oscar-nominated) guys: 

On January 15th, George Clooney did not yet know he would be nominated for his role in "Michael Clayton," but he probably had a pretty good idea.  That evening, he nabbed the Best Actor award at the National Board of Review Awards in New York City.  On his way to the event (accompanied by his lady Sarah Larson), Clooney stopped to pose for photos and sign autographs for his many fans.

Maybe Johnny Depp is just a bit stressed about the whole affair.  On January 29th, the Depp jumped out of his vehicle to snap at a couple of photographers.  Maybe he had some lingering characteristics of the ill-tempered Sweeney Todd, the role for which he is nominated.

Um, has someone been slipping us copious amounts of Lunesta without our knowledge?  (We're on to you, Mr. Lufti.)  We saw these photos of Dakota Fanning and couldn't quite figure out where we misplaced the last several years.

Little Miss Fanning turns fourteen tomorrow.  FOURTEEN!  We're glad to see her still looking young/cute/innocent in her bubblegum pink track suit.  And yet, despite all that adorability, is it just us, or does she always look like she's plotting some sort of world domination scheme?

If you're hitting the Oscar parties, Dakota, please, stick to juice (not of the Jesus variety).

Aaron Carter Arrested for Pot

Apparently, in the Carter clan, Aaron is the doobie brother.

According to authorities, Nick's kid brah was arrested in Texas yesterday when, after pulling him over for speeding, police officers found marijuana in the car.

Ah, Aaron; how far you've come since the fresh-scrubbed days of your 1997 debut album. First you date bad girls like Lindsay Lohan and get engaged to a former Playboy model. Now you get popped in the Lone Star State with a stash of weed.

What's next? Crack-den shootout?

One thing's for sure; if House of Carters is picked up for a second season, it should make for some interesting viewing.

Enrique Iglesias Makes 'Today' Special

Tim K: 02/22/2008 12:30 PM
Enrique_Iglesias_022208.jpg
We don't know if Enrique Iglesias is truly an Insomniac, as the title of his latest album implies. However, he is apparently an early riser.

The Latin music superstar put on a spirited performance in Miami for The Today Show's concert series this morning, busting out such hits as "Be With You," "Don't You Forget About Me," "Push" and "Donde Estan Corazon" (which we think translates into, "What time is it, anyway?").

This wasn't the only media appearance for Iglesias in the last couple of days. The heartthrob created a splash last night during the Premio Lo Nuestro awards show, when he allowed TV reporter Mayi Salas to plant a kiss on his lips.

That quiet, muffled sound you hear is probably Ann Curry sobbing jealously.
