Here’s Anne Hathaway at the NBC studio NYC for her appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, rocking porcelain skin, a tight red bandage dress, and yards of legs. I think her kneecap would come up to my hipbone. Red is definitely her color and I like that she doesn’t spray tan. She’s one of the lucky ones who can look pale but not pasty. Anyway, she looks smokin’ hot, so enjoy!

For a while, I actually believed that the rest of Miley Cyrus’ family was pretty normal, and that all the fame had just gone to Miley’s head, and she was acting out because she’s a teenage girl with a big ego. I felt kind of sorry for her after the Vogue photo shoot, and thought that maybe after that debacle, her parents would be more careful. But then she started dating 20-year-old Justin Gaston, he actually moved into her family home, and her parents sent the couple on a romantic Hawaiian vacation. Considering that Miley has been telling her friends that they need to give themselves up to their men, I’m guessing that her whole chastity promise has gone out the window.
Now Miley’s little sister Noah is following in her footsteps. First off, she’s trying to become a Disney star. And part of being a Disney star is showing up to events and walking the red carpet. So on Saturday, at Brittany Curran’s 19th birthday party, Noah showed up with her costar from her show Noie and Em, wearing Pink Juicy Couture bathing suits, and about three pounds of mascara and eyeliner. Later on, after taking a dip in the pool, there are photos of her chugging a Red Bull.
The problem? She’s nine years old. On her YouTube channel, she says “I love my sister Miley and when I grow up I want to be just like her.” Hm. It’s pretty obvious that Miley is not the best role model, but it’s their parents who are exacerbating the situation. When you’re nine years old and your sister has, in your eyes, a glamorous life, it’s easy to get swept up into the business so that you can be just like her. More than anything, it seems like Noah’s “career” is ego-stroking for Miley and a possible income source for her parents. The Cyruses are parading their youngest daughter around like a beauty pageant contestant, even after seeing what fame has done to their oldest.
The Cyruses need to get their act together if they don’t want to end up like the Lohans. They’re already part way there.

| | Brittany Murphy is written out of her comeback script | | Added 15 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Brittany Murphy was cast in the new Stallone movie The Expendables a little while ago. The movie stars Sylvester Stallone, Jason Satham, Jet Li, Forest Whitaker, and Mickey Rourke. Brittany was set to play Mickey Rourke’s girlfriend, and seeing as her career is lacking at best right now, it was set to be her comeback movie. Especially with Mickey Rourke’s star rising, playing opposite him would have been a great move. But now it seems that she has been written out of the script entirely. The news comes from the movie’s poorly written official blog, written by some publicist for the movie.
[S]o Church?there is a scheduling conflict that is being worked out. The script went through a re-write and Brittany Murphy?s character was deleted. there?s no teaser trailer yet but we do have 60 seconds of BTS footage I was hoping to post but there is some debate as to whether that helps or hurts the marketing and publicity plan by peaking interest too early. I don?t understand that thought process ? I see it differently?but I don?t call the shots. So we shall see or rather you shall see, hopefully.
[from Ethelmae's Blog via Crazy Days and Nights]
As you can see from the blurb, the blog is terribly written, for one, and for the other, the deletion of Brittany’s character is given as a tiny side note. Either Brittany did something really bad (her acting perhaps?), or she wanted to get out of the script. It’s difficult to change a contract that late in the game.
I doubt that it was Brittany who wanted out, though she is a little crazy so you never know. According to her Wikipedia page, she has an album coming out this year - just another actress trying to be a singer. Though I did like the song she released with Paul Oakenfold, “Faster Kill Pussycat.” Maybe a singing career, rather than The Expendables, is Brittany’s future career.

In the least surprising twist ever, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt quit ?I?m a Celebrity? Get Me Out of Here? after the very first episode. And I called it a ?twist? and not a ?plot twist? for a reason ? this had nothing to do with lame reality show twists and turns. Heidi and Spencer just up and walked out after the end of the first live episode. Presumably breaking their contracts, and hopefully ? if silver linings really do exist ? ruining any potential careers they might have had.
Heidi and Spencer have followed through on their threat — they have quit the NBC reality show “I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!”
A source close to production tells TMZ the “Hills” duo walked off the set for good after the live portion of last night’s show. It is unclear how the show will handle their leaving on tonight’s episode.
Guess they weren’t faking … for a change.
UPDATE — We’re told the Red Cross, the charity Spencer was playing for on the show, now wants nothing to do with the program. It’s unclear whether they would have received anything anyway — but regardless, the Spencer experience left a bad taste in their mouth.
[From TMZ]
Honestly I?m surprised the Red Cross was ever willing to be associated with them in the first place. Who would want their name associated with Spencer Pratt? I don?t care if he saves a baby from falling off a skyscraper. If I were that baby, I?d be pissed at the mention.
According to reports yesterday, Heidi and Spencer honestly thought they?d be staying at a Four Seasons (while everyone else lived in the jungle) and eating separate ? better ? food than everyone else. Um, this show focuses on C-list celebs, and Heidi and Spencer are G-list, at best. What in the world made them think they?ve be treated better than all the other contestants.
?I?m a Celebrity? producers do seem to have a really great backup contestant. Daniel Baldwin ? who?s brother Stephen is another contestant.
Guess jungle life isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. But not even helping charity could keep Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt from getting out of the NBC show I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here on the very first episode.
And, now there’s a surprise in store for remaining contestant Stephen Baldwin, 43, according to DailyFill.com ? which reports that his older brother, Daniel Baldwin, is secretly in Costa Rica. Daniel, 48, is now poised to step in for the infamous Montag, 22, and Pratt, 25, who both twice threatened to walk off during the premiere episode.
A source also tells the site that another female replacement is in the works.
[From People]
Now that is a good twist. And while Daniel Baldwin can be rather sanctimonious and annoying in his own way, it?s not in the ?I truly hope evil befalls you? way it is with Spencer Pratt.
But here?s what?s most concerning to me: what?s going to happen to Spencer?s opening credit rap for ?I?m a Celebrity?? Are they going to re-score it? Would we be able to handle that? Don?t through the douche out with the ? bathwater. Yeah I could have gone somewhere funnier with that joke? you get the point.

Leighton Meester wears a dress that I can get behind. Get it? Alright, enough of the poorly thought up and even more poorly executed jokes involving butts. Leighton wears an ass revealing dress to the MTV Movie Awards. I think more celebrity hotties should wear these kinds of outfits. They're all going to end up doing entire nude scenes anyway, so we should get a preview of whether or not we actually want to see them nude. Thankfully, I would love to see more of Leighton Meester. The ass we get to see is just a mighty tease!

During last week?s analysis (or over-analysis) of Brad and Angelina?s epic Cannes trip, the Enquirer mentioned that Brad would be starting work on the film Moneyball at some point over the summer. Now Life & Style is confirming - Brad Pitt will be headed to Oakland, California very, very soon (like, a week, maybe?) to work on the film that is based on the true story of Billy Beane and his magical draft system. Did that make any sense? I don?t know anything about the football (?), I?m only aware that words like ?draft? and ?magic? apply.
But Angelina isn?t coming! Yet. She still has to finish getting the crap beaten out of her on the New York production of Salt. They?ve been filming for about three months, and I?ve got to think they probably only have a few more weeks to go. So Brangelina is splitting up! For a few weeks, at least:
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been everywhere from California to New York and France in the past month, but Brad’s next movie will keep him at home in LA!
Brad will begin shooting Moneyball in California in June, Steve Elzer, a representative for the movie, confirms to Life & Style. Meanwhile, Angelina is still filming Salt in New York.
Moneyball centers on the major-league’s Oakland A’s and their general manager Billy Beane (played by Brad) who attempts to draft players to the team using computer-generated analysis.
[From Life & Style]
Here?s the thing - in the report from last week?s Enquirer, Angelina maybe wanted to spend the summer in France, in the chateau that they?re renting. The Enquirer wrote, ?She plans to take the six children to their Chateau Miraval, near Nice, for a long break.? Trouble? Maybe, maybe not. I can?t see Angelina being that thrilled about having to spend the summer in California, but she probably will do it. Maybe she and Brad will take a few weeks towards the end of the summer, and run off to France.
Here?s another part of last week?s report, of course from In Touch, and of course about the uncool Bermuda Triangle - according to In Touch, Brad and Jennifer were looking forward to spending some time together in California without Angelina. So perhaps that?s Brad?s plan for the weeks that he and Angelina are separated?

Not only has Lindsay Lohan ruined her own career, she might ruin designer Esteban Cortazar’s. Lohan, who is unemployed, is in Paris talking to the House of Emanuel Ungaro about working as a creative consultant for the line. Head designer Esteban is none too pleased with that considering Lohan’s foray into fashion has only included leggings outfitted with kneepads and a spray tan and has threatened to walk if Lohan is hired.
According to our source, “Ungaro thinks Lindsay is going to bring the company new energy and new buzz, but she is going to be the nail in the coffin. Nobody will take them seriously ever again.”
If it hasn’t happened already, then whispers of “sex tape, sex tape” must be permeating her brain by now.

I think I saw this girl in LA this weekend, but I assumed she was some nobody who had hit on some hard times. Unfortunately for Tara Reid, she is a nobody. With wonky boobs, bad liposuction (both mercifully hidden here) and nasty bottle-blonde hair. If I had known it was her, I would’ve hit her with my car and put the poor thing out of her misery.

Lindsay Lohan’s swath of freckled destruction and epic failure continue! Rooting herself more firmly onto the “Do Not Invite” list, her supposed talks about joining the House of Ungaro has the current head designer threatening to leave if he catches wind of her. The New York Post reports,
Lohan is in Paris, according to multiple sources, talking to the House of Emanuel Ungaro about signing on as a “creative consultant” for the fashion line. But the current head designer of Ungaro, Esteban Cortazar, is not greeting the rehabbed starlet with open arms.
“Esteban is threatening to leave the company if they bring Lindsay on as a consultant,” said a fashion insider. “It has been a revolving door of designers there and if he leaves, his team will go with him.”
Ungaro owner Asim Abdullah signed Colombian-born Cortazar in 2007 at the age of 23. The young designer put his own line — which he’d launched in 2002 — on hold to join the troubled Ungaro house, and received warm reviews for the first Ungaro runway collection he debuted in March of last year.
Meanwhile Lohan, between a series of box-office bombs and highly publicized romances, has dabbled in fashion by designing a line of leggings and launching her own spray tan.
According to our source, “Ungaro thinks Lindsay is going to bring the company new energy and new buzz, but she is going to be the nail in the coffin. Nobody will take them seriously ever again.”
A rep for the House of Ungaro did not return our calls or e-mails. A lawyer for Cortazar had “no comment.”
Dabbled in fashion? Leggings are two pieces of fabric sewn together, usually with only one seam. They don’t even have to be cut specially to fit the body since they’re made of freaking spandex. It’s not rocket science, people. I’m pretty sure if I gave the local adult day care center some spandex, a sewing machine, and a Bedazzler, you’d get better shit than she can put out.

Lindsay Lohan?s latest exploit is a career-ender. But not her career, which is something different. According to Page Six, Lindsay Lohan might be signing on as a ?creative consultant? to the House of Emanuel Ungaro. Ungaro?s head designer, Esteban Cortazar, is threatening to quit if Lohan?s hired, though. Cortazar and other people think Lohan would be ?the nail in the coffin? for Ungaro as a fashion house, but Ungaro?s owner Asim Abdullah really wants Lohan. Something about her spray tans and leggings screaming ?high fashion?, perchance?
AS if it wasn’t bad enough that Lindsay Lohan ruined her own career, she’s now interfering in the careers of others.

Meanwhile, Lohan has more big plans while she’s in Europe. Our tipsters tell us the addled actress is planning a stop off in London to meet up with ex-lover Samantha Ronson. “Sam and Lindsay are sort of back together,” said our snitch. “She has been living at Sam’s house in LA.”
A lawyer for Lohan didn’t return calls or e-mails, and Ronson said, “No comment.”
[From Page Six]
I believe that Lindsay and Samantha probably are back together, sort of. There?s still months of drama to be had with those two, so let?s not rush it. As for the Ungaro situation - well, I can think of literally dozens of other young actresses who would be much better at ?creative consulting? for a fashion house. I refuse to believe that Lohan is some kind of fashion icon, or even just plain fashionable. That being said, it?s sort of interesting that Lohan might have gotten another job. Good work, Lohan!

Katie Couric was invited to give the annual Class Day address at Princeton University for some reason this year. Even though I know Katie’s accomplishments make her a great candidate for that kind of honor, she?s not a Princeton alumni (she graduated from UVA), so I don?t really get it. Anyway, in her speech, Katie made a couple of interesting references. She quoted Martha Stewart (?It?s a good thing?) and name-dropped First Lady Michelle Obama, who actually is a Princeton alum. Katie also made some self-deprecating jokes about her cougar-hood, but I didn?t find that particularly interesting. The part that most people will notice is that Katie made a sideswipe at Gov. Sarah Palin, saying “Coming here was a real no brainer! After all, I can see New Jersey from my house!” Zing.
Katie Couric poked fun at her “cougar” label while giving the annual Class Day address at Princeton University on Monday.
“I’ve been called a cougar lately … but today … I’m very happy to be an honorary Tiger instead!” Couric, 52, said, referring to the school’s mascot. (Her boyfriend, entrepreneur Brooks Perlin, was 33 when they began dating in 2007.)
She then made a subtle dig at Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, whom she interviewed last year: “Coming here was a real no brainer! After all, I can see New Jersey from my house!”
Kidding aside, Couric told the crowd, “As you head out into this daunting job market, at least you have many illustrious alumni lighting the way.”
She cited Michele Obama as an example: “She was class of 1985, and now she’s wowing them in Washington.”
Couric continued, “There are a few noteworthy men who were proud to go to Princeton as well…a list that reads like a who’s who of American History. James Madison, John Foster Dulles, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Malcolm Forbes, James Baker….and Lyle Menendez, who’s currently serving a life sentence at the Mule Creek State Prison in California. Hey, you can’t win ‘em all!”
“Don’t be a hater,” Couric later added. “Princeton has taught you to think critically, to approach things with a healthy dose of skepticism … and that’s a good thing, as Martha Stewart would say. … Rise above the collegial nastiness and instead celebrate excellence.”
[From US Weekly]
I hope people don?t get too worked up over this. It was just a gentle joke that seemed like a Saturday Night Live castoff from eight months ago. And Sarah Palin already singled out Katie as one of the people she blames for her election loss and fraught media image, saying several months ago, ?In those Katie Couric interviews, I did feel that there were a lot of things that she was missing, in terms of an opportunity to ask what a VP candidate stands for, what the values are represented in our ticket.? Let the catfight continue!

Kristin Cavallari pretty much disappeared off my radar for a year. Now that she’s on The Hills, she’s back on it. What does that mean? Well, she can expect calls at 4 AM in the morning consisting of heavy breathing and a big gulp before the phone hangs up. Also, expect a mysterious, handsome stranger pacing back and forth on the sidewalk in front of her house shouting, “OMG! OMG! OMG!”over and over again.

Oh look, here’s something you don’t see every day–an angry, fat, ugly lesbian! And according Beth Ditto’s Wikipedia entry, a squirrel-eating, no-deodorant, hairy armpitted lesbian! Fatty angry! Fatty smash! Digital Spy gets in on the gorilla action:
Gossip frontwoman Beth Ditto has slammed Katy Perry for being “offensive to gay culture”.
Speaking to Attitude, the singer admitted that she was unhappy with the content of Perry’s signature track ‘I Kissed A Girl’.
“[It's an] anthem for straight girls who like to turn guys on by making out or faking gay,” she explained.
“I hate Katy Perry! I’m so offended. She’s just riding on the backs of our culture, without having to pay any of the dues and not being actually lesbian or anything at all.”
Ditto is not the first celebrity to criticise the track. Last year, Pink suggested that the song “trivialised being gay” and admitted that her gay girlfriends had been “kinda put off by it”.
Well of course she’s angry. I suspect the daughter of Jabba is all pissy because she knows she can’t get her doughnut-glazed lips near Katy Perry’s cooch. I think Katy is annoying as all hell, but at least she doesn’t make Susan Boyle look like a Jenny Craig spokeswoman.

According to the British tabloids, Megan Fox spent four hours getting ready for the MTV Awards on Sunday. Four whole hours to not shower, slick back her dirty, greasy hair and fit herself into a cocktail dress. Which reminds me of that old saying - ?It takes a lot of money to look this cheap.? According to a source, ?Megan was in a complete state… She was red in the face and convinced she was having a fat day. Luckily she eventually found the perfect one.? Megan herself tweeted about her poorly-received look, ?The awards were great… Sorry if you didn?t like my hair. Opinions are opinions.?
That?s all just the precursor to Megan?s latest interview. The girl who compared all actors to prostitutes and came out with the now infamous statement ?I resent having to prove that I?m not a retard? is now claiming that she wants to be, and is, a role model to young women. Megan says that she?s not interested in being a ?preachy? role model, but rather a role model that is ?strong and intelligent and be outspoken and fight for what they think is right.? Uh… fight for what exactly? The right to pose for Maxim? She also has some stuff to say about the lameness (lamertude?) of Wonder Woman. What a bitch:
Fox is just as careful not to overstep her abilities when it comes to her career. She might not fit the butter-wouldn?t-melt mould of stars such as Anne Hathaway and Keira Knightley, but she reckons she?s a role model of sorts for young women.
?It depends on what your idea of a role model is,? she says. ?If your idea of a role model is somebody who?s gonna preach to your kids that sex before marriage is wrong and cursing is wrong and women should be this and be that, then I?m not a role model. But if you want your girls to feel strong and intelligent and be outspoken and fight for what they think is right, then I want to be that type of role model, yeah.?
Fox reportedly turned down the chance to take over from Jolie (the two are strikingly similar, down to their mutual love of tatoos) as Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider series, and says she has no intention of starring in a Wonder Woman movie, despite recent speculation.
?Wonder Woman is a lame superhero,? she says, clearly unfazed at the thought of ruling herself out of a potentially career-making franchise. ?She flies around in her invisible jet and her weaponry is a lasso that makes you tell the truth. I just don?t get it. Somebody has a big challenge on their hands whoever takes that role but I don?t want to do it.?
?Hollywood is the most superficial thing you could possibly be a part of,? she says. ?And if I weren?t attractive I wouldn?t be working at all.?
Ask if she?s afraid of typecasting and she pouts defiantly. ?Getting typecast as what? Attractive? How bad is that?? she counters. ?That?s not really a bad thing. If people want to look at me like that I find it flattering. And it gives me an advantage because people don?t expect anything from me. If I show up and give any sort of performance at all, even a mediocre one, everyone will walk away going, ?Holy shit! Megan did a great job in that movie!? So I?m an overachiever just by default because of the category I?ve been put in.?
[From The London Times Online]
Wonder Woman is awesome! She can fly, she has a cool outfit, and even her accessories have superpowers! What is Megan thinking? Megan is also contradicting early statements she made about her ?beauty? - just a few weeks ago if anyone tried to tell her she was too pretty for a part, she would have gone off on an obscene tirade. Now she?s very chilled out about the whole thing. And I don?t think it?s because she?s an ?overachiever?.

Mariah Carey is speaking out about the failure of her first starring film role, Glitter, all those years ago. Mariah knows the film wasn?t that great - in fact, she blames the director in a hilarious aside, saying ?But I didn?t have representation or anyone to tell me: ?What you need is a great director?.? Snort, chuckle. Because that?s why Glitter failed - everyone said, ?I really want to see that Mariah Carey movie, but the director sucks.? Of course.
Beyond the bad direction, Mariah knows where to really lay the blame, though. Right at the feet of the terrorists who struck America on September 11th, 2001. Yes, Mariah thinks Glitter would have been received differently if only the release date hadn?t been September 11th. Yes, that must be it:
Mariah Carey says her infamously bad movie debut Glitter failed because of 9/11.
The singer ? who stars in new movie Precious ? says her semi-biographical film was destined to bomb at the box office as it was released on exactly the same day as the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center eight years ago.
?That movie was released on September 11th, 2001 ? could there be a worse day for that movie to come out? I don?t think so,? she said. ?I don?t even know that many people even saw the movie so I don?t think it?s the worst thing ever done.?
?Glitter was a learning experience and I wouldn?t do it again if you paid me. But I didn?t have representation or anyone to tell me: ?What you need is a great director?.?
Carey, 39, recently played down her reputation as a diva ? insisting she is simply misunderstood.
?I have been through a lot that?s made me stronger,? she said. ?They say: whatever doesn?t kill you makes you stronger. So I?ve been through that kind of stuff a few times.?
?A lot of people have very different opinions about me and it?s difficult to face them and to deal with them and to go on and to say: no, actually you?re wrong. I am this, I am not that.?
[From Showbiz Spy]
I don?t have a problem with Mariah generally, she?s pretty harmless. But what started out as a gentle mocking of Glitter is turning into Mariah?s decade-long delusion that she would be a big movie star if only an epically horrible national tragedy struck just when she was trying to make it big in movies. Yes, Mariah is self-absorbed, this is not breaking news. But you?d think that even after all of these years, Mariah would still want to pepper her words with a little perspective. Something like ?Glitter wasn?t released at the right time, no one was in the mood for it because we were all terrified and grief-stricken, and my heart still goes out to the 9/11 families.? Something like that.
By the way, this isn?t the first time Mariah has blamed 9/11, or the first time she?s played fast and loose with the quality of Glitter. Several years ago, she famously said, ?The talk shows needed something to distract from 9/11. I became a punching bag. I was so successful that they tore me down because my album was at number 2 instead of number 1. The media was laughing at me and attacked me…Glitter was ahead of its time. Today it?s ?in? to make 80?s music.? Oh, Mariah. Get a grip.
Here’s the trailer for Glitter

Jennifer Love Hewitt confirmed to Jamie Kennedy and the world that she expects to be engaged by this time next year - engaged to Jamie, that is. Both Jennifer and Jamie were on the “JohnJay and Rich” radio show in Los Angeles (story via US Weekly) when they got some questions about a rumored engagement. Because it?s been like three months or whatever, so of course everyone thinks they?re engaged. Because we know how fast Jennifer Love works, I suppose. Jennifer and Jamie denied they are currently engaged, but Jennifer says she was offended that Jamie acted upset that there were engagement rumors floating around, and told Jamie ?there’s a line of people who would probably be OK with that.? Because, in Jennifer?s mind, it?s still 1998 and she?s hot stuff.
Anyway, Jamie then asked Jennifer if she could provide him with some kind of ?timeline? for their relationship, and Jennifer told him she expected him to propose within the next year, or there will be ?a situation?. And yes, we know all of this because they said it all on-air, on a radio show:
Jennifer Love Hewitt — who split from fiance Ross McCall late last year — says she wants to be engaged again by this time next year.
Or else.
On Monday, the actress and her boyfriend, Ghost Whisperer costar Jamie Kennedy, popped by 104.7 FM’s JohnJay and Rich Show in L.A. to deny engagement rumors.
“A rumor has come out that Jamie and I supposedly got engaged,” she said after the two were spotted at a Las Vegas jewelry shop buying a small ring.
When her boyfriend heard the engagement reports, “the poor guy was on fire,” she went on. “He was like, ‘No, no, no. That’s not true!’”
Added the actress, “I was like, ‘God, would that be the worst thing in the world?! Excuse me, but just for a second, there’s a line of people who would probably be OK with that [rumor].’”
Kennedy said he didn’t mean to upset his girlfriend.
“The thing is, people asked me, ‘Are you engaged?’ And I just said, ‘No, not that the moment, I’d be a very lucky man,’” he said. “And she got mad at me!”
Kennedy then asked Hewitt for a proposal timeline.
Replied Hewitt, “A timeline? By this time next year, if we’re not planning something, then there’s a situation.”

Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jamie Kennedy are so harmless, it?s hard to get mad at them. So what if she?s pressuring him to get engaged after only a few months? Jamie can take it, he?s a big boy, and Jennifer is probably the coolest girl he?s ever dated (and that speaks volumes about both of them). Plus, how many times has Jennifer been engaged? About a dozen, right? And she?s never made it down the aisle. Jamie should just bite the bullet, get her ring, and they can be ?engaged? until they start driving each other crazy. I should also mention that it seems to me that Jamie is being a very good sport about the whole thing. Most men would run screaming from that kind of situation, where their girlfriend is publicly demanding/teasing them about getting engaged. Jamie might be a better man than we thought.

Eva Herzigova shows that she still has some cleavage by allowing it to almost bust out of the dress she's wearing. The supermodel still has the stuff, and while she's not topless, Eva still looks pretty decent. At least her body is. Her face just doesn't do it for me, but when you're showing of your breasts like Eva Herzigova, I could care less about your face!

This time, Kristin Cavallari shows off her lovely body in a bikini on a beach in Beverly Hills. It's safe to say that she looks pretty good in a bikini. I'm hoping we get to see more of the actress like this. Since Kristin has that football, I really just want to go and tackle her. You know, like you did when you were younger to so you could accidentally grab a boob. Yes, that's what I want to do to Kristin Cavallari!

Scarlett Johansson has written an essay in this week?s Hello! Magazine to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the Rwandan genocide. She?s also promoting her support of the charity Candles for Rwanda, which send messages of hope and peace to the survivors of the genocide, as well as video commemorations from some famous people (like ScarJo and Tony Blair). You can even make donations, and the proceeds will be used for ?a little support to provide them with the opportunity to help themselves, and a little human kindness to restore their faith in humanity.? Here?s ScarJo?s essay (edited content):
Anyone traveling to Rwanda is struck by an overwhelming hopefulness as soon as they exit the plane. It?s a hopefulness that comes from a community of people who know what the darkest depths of hell can be and yet are determined to come out of that stronger, more compassionate and more understanding; determined to never, ever let the darkness happen again.
I?m lighting a candle for Rwanda as part of a global initiative marking the 15th anniversary of the Rwandan genocide. Candles4rwanda.org is intended to commemorate the million Rwandans slaughtered in 1994 and to promote support for destitute survivors who are still suffering as a consequence of the genocide today. I think that right now, as Rwanda is rebuilding and really finding its identity after the genocide, this is the time to support the country and its people - to take what?s thriving there and nourish it.
When I visited Rwanda…one of the most important things that the genocide survivors expressed to me was their need for continuing global support; the necessity of a global campaign to support Rwanda during this time of reconstruction…. [Rwanda has] a very fragile society that has known the most nightmarish hell.
Thousands of orphans and widows, whose homes, means of living, loved ones and whole communities were taken away from them, are still suffering the economic and material consequences of the genocide. [Some survivors] have been forced into prostitution.
Candles for Rwanda is intended to help change all that by giving these survivors a little support to provide them with the opportunity to help themselves, and a little human kindness to restore their faith in humanity. And I think when you?ve seen the darkest depths of humanity, you have an appreciation for life that is indescribable.
[It] is so important that we continue to assist Rwanda?s people financially, through volunteer work, healthcare and education.
[From Hello! Magazine, print edition, June 9 2009]
It sounds like a very nice, respectful charity, but they don?t really seem to be asking people for large contributions. They seem to be focused on education rather than bringing money in to help the survivors of the genocide. Which is fine - this stuff starts with education. Hopefully, it won?t end with it.
Last year, Scarlett traveled to Rwanda for RED, the charity founded by Bono and Bobby Shriver. At the time, she was promoting RED products, and she said, “It was important for me to come here and see the issues we’re up against firsthand… I came here with an open mind, wanting to listen and understand.” She also donates her time to Oxfam, and has traveled on a fact-finding/humanitarian trip to India. It seems like Scarlett is one of those good celebrities who puts her time and efforts into educating herself and being on the ground, learning what people are really struggling with. I applaud her, and I hope she becomes more active in the years to come.

| | Is Britney's quiet romance with agent Jason Trawick heating up' | | Added 15 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Britney has been seen all over the place with her agent, Jason Trawick, with whom she’s been linked in the past. There’s plenty of speculation in the tabloids that the two are an item, but since Trawick works for Britney and was seen with her way back when she was still married to K-Fed, it’s hard to tell if their relationship is more than just professional. The paparazzi who trail Britney say it’s clear that there’s some kind of romance there, especially considering how much Trawick is around. I’ve seen photos of the guy on vacation with her in the Bahamas, and in a golf cart in Florida holding one of her boys. He’s been Britney’s agent for five years, and the romance rumors have been around since November, 2006 and were reignited again last year when Trawick joined Britney at Mel Gibson’s estate in Costa Rica. She was since briefly linked with a backup dancer, but not much seemed to come of that. Did she fall back into her agent’s arms or was he always just a friend and employee?
Spears and agent Jason Trawick have been spending more and more quality time together, according to celebrity photography site x17online.com.
“In my eyes, Britney and Jason are definitely together,” one of their paparazzi says. “I’ve never seen any other celebrity spend as much time with their agent as Brit does - vacation in Costa Rica, dinner, the Bahamas, running out to get Starbucks on a Saturday afternoon - I mean, it’s not just business as usual.”

A quick review of the maybe-couple’s sightings shows them in several closer-than-friends scenarios over the past few years.
Plus, Spears has a history of hooking up with her employees: K-Fed was her backup dancer before he became her lead partner.
With her career back in full swing, with her Circus tour and successful guest spots on “How I Met Your Mother,” Trawick is obviously earning his 10 percent.
Whether he has taken similar interest in personally resuscitating her personal life, remains to be seen.
[From Fox News]
Fox News offers a few photos of Britney and Jason together and they do look like more than just co-workers and friends. I hope this is true and that Britney has a great new boyfriend who just likes her for her and isn’t out for fame and cash. He’s earning money from her of course, but he doesn’t seem like a leech like K-Fed and he’s not a scary creep like Sam Lutfi or Adnan Ghalib. Britney has had a few minor setbacks on tour, but she’s doing great. If she has a hot guy by her side and that’s what she was hoping for more power to her. If Trawick is just an attentive agent then Britney is still lucky to have someone who is looking out for her best interests. This wouldn’t be the first time she’s been incorrectly linked to a male employee - remember her hot manny?

I don’t know who’s responsible for making Megan Fox look like this, but I think we can all agree on one thing here: that person should be horse-whipped repeatedly and left for dead. All I can say is it’s a good thing I’m not a Sith lord. The kind of anger these pictures inspire would make me more powerful than any Jedi’s ever dreamed.

Kate Hudson has been seen around town making out with Madonna’s ex, A-Rod. So it makes sense that she has an irrational fear of getting her ass kicked. Such was the case at the Veuve Clicquot’s Manhattan Polo Classic when she got word Madonna was coming with her boy toy Jesus Luz. Hudson arrived to the event disguised in a floppy hat and sunglasses. When she heard Madonna was coming at half-time, she booked it.
?Kate was completely intimidated by Madonna,? said one guest. ?She clearly didn?t want trouble and decided to keep a low profile for the rest of the match.?
Said a second guest, ?I didn?t even see Kate Hudson again after Madonna arrived. She ran away! But if I were dating Madonna?s ex, I?d be scared, too!?
?Madonna literally didn?t care,? said a third eyewitness.
?She showed up with no makeup, a dowdy [denim] outfit and her hair pulled up in a ponytail. She doesn?t need to compete with Kate, because she will always be Queen Bee.?
This makes Madonna sound like some sort of kingpin. Like she’s going to order a hit on Kate Hudson in the middle of the Polo Classic or put a severed horse head in her bed. If she wanted, Madonna could stalk out Kate in the lady’s room and smash her head through the stall door. She takes care of business herself. One time I saw Madonna kill a chicken with one slap. True story. I’d be scared too if I was Kate Hudson.
