Audrina Patridge and Stephanie Pratt: Boutiquing Babes


Pairing up for afternoon filming duties, Audrina Patridge and Stephanie Pratt were spotted out in West Hollywood, California on Thursday (May 13).

The lovely ladies happened to be shooting scenes for MTV's "The Hills" on Robertson Boulevard while shopping at the Anya Hindmarch boutique.
The girls' work duties come as fellow co-star/Steph's sister-in-law Heidi Montag was caught up in drama with her mom, Darlene, during the morning hours of the day.

As previously reported by Gossip Center, Miss Montag's mom made an unannounced visit to Heidi and hubby Spencer Pratt's Los Angeles pad.

Fighting after Darlene criticized her daughter's plastic surgery overload, Mama Montag began pounding on the door before being escorted away from the property, as Spencer told Us magazine of the situation, "She’s gone. The cops took her away."

Shortly thereafter, Heidi told press, "Her showing up is completely out of line and psychotic. I'm getting a restraining order against her."

Kate Hudson: Rainforest Foundation Foxy


Getting a bit of a break from her "Something Borrowed" filming duties, Kate Hudson was spotted leaving her house in New York City on Thursday afternoon (May 13).

The 31-year-old actress looked darling with her hair brushed back as she briskly made her way past paparazzi perched outside her pad and over to an awaiting ride.
Kate happened to be out to attend the Rainforest Foundation Gala at Carnegie Hall - at which Lady GaGa will be delivering a sure to be powerful performance.

Having quite the big week, it was announced just yesterday that Miss Hudson will be the new Global Brand Ambassador for cosmetics brand Almay.

Commenting on the new gig, the "Fool's Gold" hottie tells, “Almay is known for its fresh, effortless approach to beauty. At the end of the day, we all want to have fun and feel beautiful – that’s what Almay is all about.”

Ashton Kutcher Films with Natalie, Defends Miley


Still plugging away on their latest project, Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman were spotted on the set of "Friends with Benefits" in Marina del Rey on Thursday afternoon (May 13).

The cute co-stars walked side-by-side as the cameras captured all of the action taking place in the Burton Chace Park locale.
In related news, Mr Kutcher recently stepped in to defend Miley Cyrus after the young actress received criticism over a recently released "lapdance" video of Miley partying with "The Last Song" producer Adam Shankman.

Sparking Ashton's ire was CNN’s Rick Sanchez, who said, “Could I just speak for a moment as a father and as someone who has an eight-year-old?…That’s troublesome. And just the physicality of it alone and the fact that she’s 16-years-old. And this isn’t posing for a Hollywood magazine or a picture, because we understand that when you get into that arena, you got to play along with that game kind of thing. I am troubled viewing that."

Responding via his Twitter account, Kutcher tweeted to Sanchez, “ur [sic] comments on Miley R completely unwarranted. She’s 17. What is this the movie Footloose? judgment is unbecoming.”

The former "That 70's Show" star added, “I think it’s important to think about the context of the event she was at. It’s not like she was at a club w/ some stranger.”

Jennifer Aniston Dismisses Baby Food Diet Claims


With women around the world dying to know her beauty secrets, Jennifer Aniston has cleared up rumors claiming that she's on a baby food diet.

Talking to People magazine, the former "Friends" star tells, "I've been asked lately, 'Jen, what's this baby food diet all about?' I kept thinking: That's the strangest question ever."
Denying any such doing, Miss Aniston continued, "Sorry, but the last time I had baby food, I believe I was 1. I've been on solids for about 40 years now."

The rumors began after supposed insiders alleged that the 41-year-old beauty was giving Tracy Anderson's "The Baby Food Cleanse" a try - with the regimen entailing fourteen servings of pureed food each day topped off by a hearty dinner.

Sexy Sarah Palin Lookalike Contest


Doing their best impersonations of the former VP candidate, a handful of ladies hit the stage in a sexy Sarah Palin lookalike contest in Chicago on Wednesday night (May 12).

Held at the Windy City's Admiral Theatre, the strip club patrons took to their seats to watch on as the political peepshow got underway.
According to an event insider, several women donned specs and strutted their stuff on stage in their underwear in a bid to win the $5000 cash prize.

The winner ended up being a 21-year-old student named Bia, who organizers say wowed the crowd by "immediately stripping down to a full S&M dominatrix outfit, complete with whip".

Obviously opting against making an appearance as a judge per the club's request, the real Sarah Palin was in nearby Rosemont rallying supporters on the very same day.

Fergie and Josh Duhamel: Milan Mates


Stepping out for a romantic stroll with her man, Fergie and Josh Duhamel were spotted out in Milan, Italy on Thursday afternoon (May 13).

The Black Eyed Peas frontwoman and her Transformers actor hubby hit up a few local shops while enjoying pleasant conversation with one another.
The outing comes as Fergie continues along with her world tour duties, during which she and her bandmates have been joined by former Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole.

Apparently getting along quite nicely, a source tells of Fergie and Cheryl, "They have been spending a lot of time having girly chats. There's a lot of banter between them, the two of them are thick as thieves."

Elin Nordegren Hires London-Based Divorce Attorney


Adding fuel to the divorce rumors, it is being reported that Elin Nordegren has hired a lawyer close to her family to represent her in the divorce from Tiger Woods.

According to TMZ, Elin hired Walter H. White, Jr. from a law firm in London - where Elin’s sister, Josefin, works.
When TMZ spoke to White this morning, however, he would neither confirm nor deny if he would be representing Elin.

On another note, it seems Elin and Tiger are having no custody problems in regards to the children. Elin is renting a house a mile away from the home she shared with Tiger and the children get to sleep over at their dad’s house and spend time with him.

“Elin wants to share custody, she wants Tiger to be a big part of the children’s lives,” the source said. “And both have done a great job trying to keep their problems away from the kids.”

Known for their cheap chic clothes, H&M is doing their best to enter warmer-weathered markets in the States - as the Swedish based company currently f


They both dodge questions about whether they are truly dating or not, and recently Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson turned to their comedic skills to get out of facing the ultimate question.

In an interview with Oprah, which airs today (May 13), the “Twilight” hunk joked, "Kristen's pregnant," And with the Bella actress playing along, she said, "He really loves to shock people because he thinks it's funny. No, we've actually had this conversation. He's having the baby."
Continuing on, Ms Stewart admitted that her real love is her cat, Max, telling, “I’m obsessed with my cat. We have a very Edward-and-Bella relationship. It’s, like, very co-dependent with my cat.”

H&M Models: Swimsuit Sex Appeal


Showing off their fit and fine figures, a bevy of beautiful beach babes took to the the water for the H&M Ultimate Summer Collection 2010 shoot.

Putting a number of the brands latest looks on display, the sexy models splashed about while cameramen happily snapped up shots.
Known for their cheap chic clothes, H&M is doing their best to enter warmer-weathered markets in the States - as the Swedish based company currently fairs much better in colder climated markets.

To do so, the latest swimsuit separates are hitting store shelves priced as low as $4.95 with rompers going for just $9.95.

Of the effort to gain market share, H&M Chief Executive Karl-Johan Persson said of the growth opportunity available, "There is huge potential."

Whitney Houston: On the Rebound in Berlin


Continuing along with her demanding tour, Whitney Houston was spotted leaving the Hotel de Rome in Berlin, Germany on Thursday (May 13).

Giving a smile and a wave to paparazzi, Miss Houston proceeded to head off to her awaiting transport as she readied to perform at Arena Leipzig.
Doing a bit better onstage since being panned in both Australia and the UK, Rolling Stone editor Anthony DeCurtis tells that he forsees a rebound for Whitney as long as she "agrees to relinquish the queenly status and adjust to less-demanding material."

"I see the problem more as psychological than physical," DeCurtis says. "You can't be working in diva mode if you're not delivering on the diva promise."

"Is it possible to sing a different kind of song when that bravura aspect is so central to who you are? She would have to see herself in a different way. Does she want to? That's the question," he adds.

Bonnie Wright and Jamie Campbell Bower: Engaged!


It was exciting enough for Harry Potter and Twilight Saga fans when Bonnie Wright and Jamie Campbell-Bower came out as a couple in February.

Now, the tween world can truly scream out in delight: these franchise stars are engaged!

A source close to Bower told Great Britain's The Daily Mail: "He says they are completely in love. It all seems very whirlwind, but they both say it’s the real deal... He is chuffed to bits and neither of them seem to have any doubts that they are rushing in too soon. We have asked them if it is for real and they have said yes."

Hey, who are we to argue with a couple that is chuffed to bits with one another?

Wright stars in the Harry Potter series as Ron's sister, Ginny. Spoiler alert: a marriage involving the character plays a vital role in the conclusion of this beloved franchise.

Bower, meanwhile, portrays Caius in The Twilight Saga. He met Wright on the Harry Potter set, where the actor takes on the role of Gellert Grindelwald.

Larry Birkhead Admits: I'm Greedy!


Let's give Larry Birkhead credit for honesty.

Ever since Anna Nicole Smith's death, this total loser has exploited his former lover's passing by posing the daughter he had with her (Dannielynn) for various paparazzi and tabloid photo ops. Seriously, look at this and try not to vomit.

We've called Birkhead out on numerous occasions because he likely made money off his child, a despicable act, especially considering the fact that life in the spotlight couldn't have helped Anna Nicole with her substance abuse problems over the years.

Now, Larry is at it again - but at least he admits that he's exploiting Smith's memory for cold, hard cash.
Birkhead is auctioning off Anna Nicole's Mercedes, dog bed and pieces of artwork to raise funds for himself and his thre-year-old daughter.

"It's like, do I want to hold on to one of Anna's dresses, or do I want to try to help Dannielynn's future," Birkhead said, trying to sound altruistic. "We have money. We have more than enough to survive on. [Auction proceeds] would just supplement that."

Know what else would supplement the money you've already made off Smith's legacy, Larry? Getting a job!

The auction will take place on June 26 and proceeds will go to the Anna Nicole and Daniel Wayne Smith Foundation. This would be a noble idea, if causes other than Larry Birkhead himself benefitted from it.

Happy 24th Birthday, Robert Pattinson!


Forget New Year's Eve, college graduation, or, heck, even Flag Day.

Today is the most momentous occasion of 2010 for millions of Twilight Saga fans around the world. That's because Robert Pattinson turns 24. Cue screams in 3...2...1...

After laying low for a few months, filming a new movie and remaining out of the spotlight where he's most comfortable, Pattinson will be featured on numerous magazine covers and talk shows over the next few weeks, promoting Eclipse.

It's already started: check out Robert's spread in South Africa's GQ and tune in today to The Oprah Winfrey Show, where he, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner will sit down with the host.
We know one thing Stewart did NOT get Pattinson for his birthday: a baby.

As for his adoring fans, Rob isn't the kind of guy that focuses on the material world. He'd probably just accept a hug, or, if you're not in his immediate vicinity, birthday wishes that THG will be sure to pass along.

Send them in now and then ogle this montage...

Fashion Face-Off: Victoria Beckham vs. Rihanna


Who will prevail in a fierce fashionista showdown of Parisian proportions?

We have no idea what that even means, but what we do know is that Victoria Beckham and Rihanna both look fabulous in Burberry trenches - both worn in Paris no less!

The designer and wife of David Beckham was spotted in hers recently, while the touring singer wore the same, but toughened it up a bit during a visit to the French city.

Krista White: America's Next Top Model Winner

If self-serving blow hard Tyra Banks had her way, she'd name herself America's Next Top Model every year.

Fortunately, that's against this show's rules, which meant good things for Krista White last night.

The 26-year-old from Pine Bluff, Arkansas beat out Raina Hein in the finals and was reduced to tears when her name was announced as the winner.

"I can't believe it. I want to pinch myself," said White. "Nobody thought it would be me. For me, to be from the small Pine Bluff with maybe 100 or something people where nobody ever leaves. It's amazing ... I'm excited I'm America's Next Top Model."
Of course, someone has to tell Angela that the competition is over - and she lost.

"I know America loves me," the self-promoting finalist said after being eliminated. "Even though I'm not in the final two, I'm still America's Next Top Model."

Except that you aren't.

Banks referred to White as "the embodiment of a top model." As the winner, she receives a contract with Wilhelmina Models; a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl cosmetics; and a six-page spread in Seventeen.

As previously reported by Gossip Center, Johnny stars alongside the lovely Angelina Jolie in the Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck directed thriller/drama.

Joining the long list of celebrities traveling to Nice, France for the annual Cannes Film Festival, Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan were spotted arriving on Thursday (May 13).

The “Public Enemies” actress looked lovely in a springtime dress and heels while her “Transformers” beau took on a more casual look.

In the film, Mulligan plays the girlfriend of LaBeouf who plays a young Wall Street trader partners with disgraced former Wall Street corporate raider Gordon Gekko on a two-tiered mission: To alert the financial community to the coming doom, and to find out who was responsible for the death of the young trader's mentor, according to IMDB.

Rachel Uchitel Talks David Boreanaz Affair


As more details emerge regarding her affair with David Boreanaz, Rachel Uchitel says don’t believe everything you hear.

The famous mistress says the manipulative and mean-spirited text messages between her and the “Bones” star should have never been leaked, and they don’t give an accurate portrayal of her character.
"I feel compelled to address the false picture that has been portrayed. For reasons unknown to me, I believe that someone is deliberately trying to portray me in a false light. These texts should not have been published. I have many authentic text messages between David and myself which portray a completely different picture."

"The authentic texts, which I have, reveal that David Boreanaz repeatedly expressed his deep love and affection towards me."

Rachel’s attorney Gloria Allred stated, "Rachel Uchitel had a romantic relationship with David Boreanaz. She understood that he was unhappy in his marriage and had been for some time and she had reason to believe that he intended to separate from his wife. He continually asked Ms. Uchitel to be patient and to wait for him. Some of the reasons that she believed him include that he spoke to Ms. Uchitel on the telephone and through text messages from morning until night on a regular basis. He treated her as his girlfriend and also took her out in public. He called her between takes when he was taping his television show and put her on the telephone with his friends and his son. He even stayed with Ms. Uchitel when he came to New York for press tours. He gave her a silver key on a chain to symbolize "the key to their hearts." He also sent her a video of himself telling her how much he loved her, that he loved her then and that he would love her forever. She has kept the video. Their relationship ended because Ms. Uchitel decided to break it off. She felt that he had not been completely truthful with her and she no longer trusted him."

Kelly Bensimon's Male Model Stripdown


Stepping out for some charity work, Kelly Bensimon was spotted in Manhattan, New York City on Thursday (May 13).

The “Real Housewives of New York City” chick was all smiles as she kicked off the maiden voyage of the “Wash Smart, Give Smart” truck- a stylish mobile laundry room made of glass.

And of course, Kelly updated her Twitter to keep her followers in the loop and promote the good cause. She posted along with a twitpic, Goodwill for goodwill.”

Adrian Grenier: GQ Seaman


He’s always been popular with the ladies, and Adrian Grenier is using his appeal to make a difference in the June 2010 issue of GQ Magazine .

In the interview, the “Entourage” hunk explains his crusade to help the massively declining population of bluefin tuna.
Of course, he also poses for a series of handsome photos, sure to get the attention of any female environmentalist!

Adrian states, “Look, I’m cynical, like we all can be. But as a man, you have to pierce through the cynicism - take responsibility for your choices and find what’s important to you. It has less to do with following one particular cause than it does with participation—a willingness to engage.”

Tiger Woods Biography: Elin Wasn’t Keen at First


There’s a new Tiger Woods biography out there, and one of the interesting claims made by author Steve Helling is that Elin Nordegren wasn’t really into Woods from the get-go.

“Tiger; The Real Story” explains, "Elin Nordegren was not the type of young woman to date Tiger Woods, at least not at first. For one thing, she had a boyfriend at home in Sweden. He was a normal, decent guy, driving a forklift in a warehouse. If things worked out with him, her life would be safe and predictable, an option that Elin actually found extremely appealing."
Helling continues, "Dating Tiger Woods would be just the opposite: paparazzi and tabloids would be around every corner, and Elin couldn't bear the thought of such an invasion of privacy. Besides, she really didn't find Tiger attractive; he simply wasn't her type."

"The challenge of the pursuit appealed to Tiger. The more Elin declined, the more insistent Tiger became. On his fifth request, Elin finally agreed to go out with him, but only for one date. She knew he would keep asking her out until she said yes, so this would be the easiest way to get him off her back."

Amanda Seyfried Pays a Visit to Martha Stewart


Hot on the promotional trail, Amanda Seyfried was spotted making an appearance on the “Martha Stewart Show” in New York City today (May 13).

The “Big Love” babe was in the house to drum up interest in her new film “Letters To Juliet,” looking pretty in a black jacket, blue dress, and beige heels.
In related news, Amanda recently told Chelsea Handler that she’s really proud of her tattoo, though it’s not the most flattering word.

"It's my nickname. You can't see it, but it's called 'm**ge' and it's slang in England. It has something to do with your pubic hair in the dictionary.”

Gwyneth Paltrow: No “Iron Man 2” Dominatrix


Despite reports to the contrary, Gwyneth Paltrow doesn’t appear in any ‘dominatrix-style’ scenes in her new movie “Iron Man 2.”

Last year, tabloid reports claimed the “Sliding Doors” babe got into a leather corset and filmed some steamy scenes, but now that the movie is out, those claims have been proven false.
Gwyn told pres, “There was no dominatrix scene. Not on film. [But] that would have been so fun!”

Director Jon Favreau added, "There was some talk of [Stark] having a dream where he was fantasizing about her. So there is some truth to that one. But it never made it into the movie, no."

"I never knew to embrace curves. I looked at my aunt and cousins and saw these Armenian women with big butts and boobs, and I didn't really realize ho


It’s that time of the year again- time for the hottest ladies from all over the country to convene in Las Vegas for the 2010 Miss USA Pageant.

And last night (May 12) the beauty queen babes were spotted at the Presentation Show at the Theater of the Performing Arts at Planet Hollywood Resort Casino.
In related news, Donald Trump is receiving all kinds of criticism for the recently racy photo shoot with the 2010 contestants posed in sexy lingerie.

Tim Winter from the Parents Television Council explained, “There has been a growing debate over the line between a beauty pageant and soft-core pornography...and I think this year's pageant not only erases that line, it obliterates it."

Trump replied, "We are in a different age. They are a little bit sexy but I'll tell you what - everybody's watching, so I have no problems with it. If you look at Miss America, it's now off network television - and we're doing better than ever, so I really have no problem with it."

Kim Kardashian Loves Her Curves


She’s known the world over for her curvy figure, but Kim Kardashian didn’t fully appreciate her bangin’ bod back in the day.

During a recent interview, the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” hottie explained she had to grow up to see how beautiful she and her family really are.
"I never knew to embrace curves. I looked at my aunt and cousins and saw these Armenian women with big butts and boobs, and I didn't really realize how attractive it actually was then. Your perspective grows."

"Now I think we like to wear tight things, we love feeling good, taking care of ourselves, wearing what we want. And Khloe has lost a lot of weight. We love being sexy and reflecting that in the collection."

Christina Aguilera Goes Nude for GQ Germany


Making her pop culture comeback, Christina Aguilera appears in the new issue of GQ Germany to show off her post-baby body and talk about her new album.

The “Ain’t No Other Man” songstress looks super-hot in the photo spread, calling herself an even sexier version of her former self.
"I'm more confident and comfortable in my own skin. I think I'm even a more sexual Christina. That's part of the change of having a child for me – seeing your body do these things you never thought possible.”

"When you have a baby, you go through a period where your body is not your own. It becomes for your child and that's it. Once you bounce back from that and kind of get your body back … I feel better than ever. It's a great feeling."

Michelle “Bombshell” McGee Talks Cheating


She made headlines when her affair with Jesse James went public and Michelle “Bombshell” McGee says ladies shouldn’t be surprised when men cheat.

During a recent interview, the tattooed stripper explained, "Now I think men are made to spread their seed. Women need to accept that. If you're going to be married to somebody, you need to know that men are not meant to be with one woman.”
She continued, “I think you can totally love your spouse and still sleep with other women. That urge will always be there if you're a man. I believe you can love your wife 100 percent and still stray."

As for her advice to Sandra Bullock, "It should be a happy time in her life. She shouldn't be worried about this. She should be enjoying her time with her baby and celebrating. So I do feel bad about all this other stuff. I'd like to sit down and talk to her over lunch. I don't expect that she would do it though. But having been in that position myself at one time, I would really like to sit down with the ‘other woman’ and have a heart to heart with her. But I don't ever expect her to do it. But I would do it."
