You already know that Halle Berry has a new baby on the way, but she’s got another project in the works that’s almost as sweet. This fall, the actress will launch a new fragrance line in collaboration with Coty, who have already brought you celebrity scents by Jennifer Lopez, Posh and Becks, Sarah Jessica Parker, Gwen Stefani, Celine Dion and more.
In a statement just released to WWD, Coty global marketing president Steve Mormois expresses that “Halle is an iconic actress and symbolizes beauty to many generations….Her fragrances will allow her to present another facet of her personality to her fans.”
Hugh Hefner was so impressed with Lindsay Lohan showing it all as Marilyn Monroe for New York Magazine that he wants her to do the same for him. Hugh reportedly wants her to recreate Marilyn's naked swim in "Something's Got To Give" for Playboy.
Lindsay is apparently thinking about it, reports The New York Post.
Move over, David Beckham - Tom Brady may soon strip to his skivvies. Calvin Klein Inc. is in talks to turn the Patriots quarterback into an underwear model. LA private eye Paul Barresi says the company is "confident that Brady will blow the competition out of the water." While Beckham has sparked a huge rise in Armani underwear sales, Djimon Hounsou, who was nominated twice for an Oscar, is the current Calvin underwear hunk. A Klein mouthpiece sniffed, "We don't comment on rumor."
Brooke Hogan’s friend, Christiane Plante, has disclosed publicly that she slept with Brooke’s dad, Hulk Hogan. Plante kissed and told to The National Enquirer about her conquests with the wrestling great.
She says that the marriage was already over and that she was basically just helping cheer the Hulk up during the tough time.
“My relationship with Terry began at a time when Terry and Linda privately knew their marriage was ending. She had left him already, although no official papers had been filed. Terry is a good man, good father and a good friend, and he and I grew close at a time when he was going through a very difficult period. It seemed right then, but I know it was wrong. Having felt the guilt and pain build up, I gave a note to Brooke apologizing for my actions. I will never be able to fully forgive myself for this. I have lost an amazing friend.”
Orlando Bloom is currently dating model Miranda Kerr, but Star Magazine claims that something is keep the relationship from moving forward, and it's Orlando's, umm...odor!.
A source told the mag, "Miranda thinks Orlando is too smelly. Recently, she asked him if he could wash his clothes and perhaps shower more often. He'll wear the same jeans for a week before he throws them in the washer. Same goes for his sweaters, T-shirts and socks."
Pamela Andersonis now seeking to annul her brief marriage to Rick Salomon rather than getting a standard divorce, according to court papers.
Anderson cited "fraud" as the reason for the annulment. No details were given in the court papers, which were filed last Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court. After just two months of marriage, Anderson, 40, filed for divorce from Salomon, 39, in December, citing irreconcilable differences.
They were married last October in Las Vegas during a 90-minute break between the magic shows in which Anderson was appearing.
Mischa Barton has been charged with driving under the influence and possession of marijuana, stemming from her arrest in December, police announced Tuesday.
Out of the spotlight after revealing her pregnancy, 16-year-old Jamie Lynn Spears is moving ahead with her life, passing her GED and thinking about college, a family friend said.
The Zoey 101 star passed her high school equivalency exam about a month ago – scoring particularly well on reading comprehension – and is looking to take the ACT college entrance test, the friend says. "She's already got her diploma," according to the friend. "She wants to take her ACT. She's not wasting any time. People don't know her. When she gets something in her head, she'll make it happen. Everybody is so supportive of her."
Brittany Murphyis driving the crew on her new movie crazy. Her behavior on the LA set of "Across the Hall" has gotten increasingly bizarre, according to spies. Murphy has been making outrageous demands while acting "like a diva," said one insider. "She's extremely difficult. When she gets to the set, it comes to a grinding halt. She's so hot and cold, you never know." According to our sources, Murphy insists on having diagonally cut peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with the crusts removed. "She needs one every hour. It's painstaking - her assistant takes about a half an hour making each one," said one crew member. Another issue is Murphy's ever-present oddball husband, Simon Monjack, who lurks around the set and intervenes so much that producers had to call a meeting to discuss how to deal with him. Murphy's rep could not be reached for comment.
Her lips are going to take over her face soon. Damn! Stop w/ the collagen!
Some fashionistas wondered why Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody wore flats with her leopard-print dress to the awards - but it was just her way of putting the screws to shoe designer Stuart Weitzman. Cody had been set to wear Weitzman's $1 million pair of diamond-encrusted heels. But when she found out she was being used for free p.r., she took to her MySpace page and fumed, "They're using me to publicize their stupid shoes and NOBODY ASKED ME. I would never consent to a lame publicity stunt at a time when I already want to hide. I'm sorry if I sound like a party-pooper, but Jeebus."
I attended a lovely Oscar party hosted by Miss A last night. Well done, my dear. There were lots of lovely prizes to be won, and I didn't go home empty handed! (I'll be interested to see who won the Nordstrom gift certificate for the most correct picks, as I left around 9:45 to watch at home).
I'll admit that I didn't see all the Oscar films, but I thought Javier Bardem was fabulous in No Country for Old Men, so I was glad to see him win. I thought the script for Juno was phenomenal, and so Diabolo Cody's Best Screenplay win was well-deserved. Click here for a list of winners.
Two themes rose to the top of red carpet: red dresses and weird boobs. Yes, that's what I said. Lots of women wore red (some better than others), and several women wore dresses that were cut strangely and made their boobs look odd. (See Keri Russell, Amy Adams, etc.)
Here are my choices for Best Dressed: Jennifer Garner looked stunning in Oscar de la Renta.
She always looks classic.
Blanchett looks flawless as always. (Did that Tilda chick actually beat her?!?!?!)
Penelope Cruz sizzles in Chanel Haute Couture.
Versace serves Hillary Swank well.
Katherine Heigl is smokin' in Escada.
Helen Mirren never disappoints.
I heart Laura Linney. Truly, she is one of the great actresses of our time. She always looks great, is gracious, and gives a great interview.
Kristen Chenowith in Armani Prive.
Yowzah! Her hair was a tad too big in back, but who can look at her hair when she's wearing that?
And, here are my choices for Worst Dressed:
Per her usual, Cameron's hair and make-up look like she just got out of bed, and her dress looks like she just took the sheet with her.
Alba's dress wasn't flattering (she should get some advice from Cate Blanchett who always looks amazing pregnant) and her hair was way too Princess Leia.
Ok, let me explain this one. She looks great in this photograph. However, I saw her several times candidly and the necklace did not stay in place well and she kept having to adjust it. There were also times where it looked like a Grandma shall from far away. Thus, I'm putting her on my worst list for not picking a smarter Oscar choice.
Miley's dress was actually a nice choice, but she's on my Worst list for her awful pout she kept doing on the red carpet in pictures. You're not a runway model, sweetie. Don't forget your dad is king of the mullet. Just smile and don't get knocked up.
Two words: fish scales
Terrible choice, Ellen. Your hair looked like crap, the dress was unflattering, and the necklace looks like you ordered at an in-home jewelry party. I like Silpada too, girlfriend, but not for the red carpet. (Note: yes, I know it's a Fred Leighton chain, but it sure as hell doesn't look like it!)
From the front, Renee looks great! And, I couldn't find a picture of it, but in the back, her hair is buzzed! It looked TERRIBLE.
This is Amy Adams. Not to be confused w/ Mrs. Borat, Isla Fisher. See my above comment on weird boobs.
More weird boobs.
And, some more weird boobs. (Not to mention, bad posture).
Wake me up when Amy Ryan's not boring.
Shame on you Sarah Larson. You get some beautiful arm candy like George Clooney to take your non-personality out to the Oscars, and you wear that???
Guests at Ashton Kutcher's 30th birthday party at the trendy New York bar Socialista are being urged to get a Hepatitis A vaccination because one of the bartenders was infected.
Among the A-listers at the Feb. 7 event: Kutcher's wife Demi Moore, Madonna, Bruce Willis, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Salma Hayek.
The bartender also worked on Feb. 8 and Feb. 11. "We are asking these bar patrons to get this vaccination as a precautionary measure," said Dr. Sharon Balter, medical epidemiologist at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
Christian Slateris taking the next step with Jimmy Choo empress Tamara Mellon. Los Angeles sources said the pair, who are often raved about as "the coolest couple," are now sharing a roof. "Tamara moved in with Christian," a tipster said. Mellon - who finalized her nasty divorce from Carnegie Mellon heir Matthew Mellon two years ago - started dating Slater last September, when they were spotted canoodling at bikini mogul Diana Jenkins' London home.
He really needs to come to grips with his receding hair line. I mean, seriously...go for the buzz or something. This isn't working.
"It was very tastefully done. "I respect the photographer as an artist, so I look at them artistically. For him to call Lindsay 46 years later and to say can you recreate these photos is an honor. I looked at it as art, and as Lindsay doing a character. So I don't look at them like it's Playboy; she was being a character. So if you look at it that way, you can look at it as a mother." --Dina Lohan on daughter Lindsay's nudie pics
God, I love Tim Gunn. Ok, so his solo show sucks, but he's a gem on Project Runway. Watch the clip. I mean, he has to sit next to Larry the Cable Guy. Tim's quotes and word choice (Gunnisms) are freaking hysterical:
“grandma jezebels”
“mannish in her dress” and "She's confused about what her gender is" (Both about Hillary Clinton)
"The clothes we wear send a message on how we want to be perceived"
"I can only imagine that the crocs are a metaphor" (AMEN to THAT! Crocs make me angry and I can't fathom why people wear them).
"When people hear what we have in the bank, it's gonna blow their minds. Madonna, eat your heart out. Britney Spears, eat your heart out. I would say we have diamond records coming – they're gonna sell 10-million plus. --Spencer Pratton girlfriend Heidi Montag's new album
Three athletes, a magician and an Oscar-winning actress are just some of the celebrities who’ve signed on to compete on the sixth season of ABC’s Dancing With the Stars.
The cast was revealed on Monday night’s Dance War finale. On Tuesday, Good Morning America will announce which pro dancers will be paired with the celebrity contestants.
Here’s a rundown of who’s on board for the March 17 premiere:
Amy Winehouse is trying hard to stay sober, but she's still forgetful. The Grammy-winning songbird showed up at Andrew Buckler's new London boutique the other night with pal Kelly Osbourne and her new sober com panion, Blake Wood, and left a few things in the bathroom. "She left a pair of boob enhancers - like chicken cutlet things to push up your boobs - and some hair extensions in the toilet," our spy said. Later, Winehouse and Wood went to his apartment with a group of people who "were all getting drunk - except for them."
The folks at Slate.com, who are experiencing Obasms over Barack Obama, have launched the Obamaficator - the Obama word generator that "Obamifies" words and gives definitions. Here's a sample: Obamatose: in a deep slumber, dreaming of Obama. Baracktail: a mixture with the main ingredient being Obama. Barackwurst: a short, thick, highly seasoned Obama. Barackcupied: fixed on Obama. Obambination: a union of warring parties brought together by Obama.
Super Bowl hero Eli Manning still gets starstruck. When he spotted legendary Yankee Yogi Berra a few tables away at Rao's, Manning made a beeline to the Hall of Famer's table to introduce himself. The conversation soon turned to Berra's stellar career. "Eli asked Yogi how many championships he'd won," one diner told The Post's Braden Keil. Berra replied, "Ten times." Manning then mused he had just nine more to go. The two were later arm in arm singing along to "New York, New York" on the jukebox.
Gisele Bundchen is learning that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Despite her title as the World’s Highest-Paid Supermodel Gisele is begging to return to roots as one of the Victoria’s Secret Angels. The lingerie giant has two words for her-”No, thanks.”
The Brazilian beauty ended her contract with Victoria’s Secret following a salary despite. Gisele has, however, “missed working for them because the money and clout were excellent.” “So she had her reps call and ask them to rehire her” for $10 million.
Victoria’s Secret passed on Gisele’s return: “They like Gisele because she’s a hard worker, but they weren’t about to go bankrupt for her.”
In honor of the unknown Uno winning the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show (the first beagle to ever win), some of my favorite clips from the movie "Best in Show":
Britney Spearsis out, Posh Spice is in — as a lyric for the Lady in the Lake in the Broadway musical "Monty Python's Spamalot."
Asked why the lyric was changed in the song "Diva's Lament," "Spamalot" author Eric Idle said Tuesday in an e-mail: "Because we don't laugh at sad people. Mike Nichols (the show's director) requested it and he's right. We changed the lyrics in London, on tour, on Broadway and in Las Vegas. We think that it's now too sad. Britney Spears is being tortured to death and we don't want to be on that side." The changes went into the various companies last week.
What the Lady in the Lady (currently played on Broadway by Hannah Waddingham) once sang:
"I am sick of my career
Always stuck in second gear
Up to here with frustration and with fears
I've no Grammy no rewards
I've no Tony Awards
I'm constantly replaced by Britney Spears
Britney Spears!"
It's been replaced by:
"My love life is a mess
I've got constant PMS
My career is about as hot as ice
They hate me there backstage
They say I'm too old for my age
They're trying to replace me with Posh Spice
With Posh Spice!!"
Former child star Gary Coleman – who's now 40 – married Shannon Price, whom he'd met on a movie set, last Aug. 28, her 22nd birthday, Coleman reveals to Inside Edition.
The onetime Diff'rent Strokes star also admits that this is his first-time-ever romantic relationship. "I never got the opportunity to be romantic or feel romantic with anyone," he says. "I wasn't saving myself, she just happened to be the one." The couple's nuptials happened, "on a mountaintop," according to Coleman. "Nobody was around but the minister, preacher, the videographers, the photographer, the helicopter pilot and us. That was all that was there. There was nobody else.”
Not that the newlyweds don't have their differences. "We may go a week and not speak to each other," he says, while she claims, "He lets his anger conquer him sometimes. … He throws things around, and sometimes he throws it in my direction." She adds, "I don't like the violence."
Then there is the fact that he stands 4'8", while she is more than 5'7". But, says the bride: "He was 10 feet tall to me, because he was sweet and I really liked his personality." As for the 18 years between them, "I don't have issues with age, I have issues with intelligence," says Coleman. "She's more intelligent than I am, and that's what matters to me."
"I don't think she should have won. I think it sends a bad message to our young people who are trying to get into this business, the ones who are trying to do it right and really trying to keep themselves together. We have to stop rewarding bad behavior. I'm sorry. I think the girl is talented, gifted, but it's not right for her to be able to have her cake and eat it too. She needs to get herself together." --Natalie Cole on Amy Winehouse
Dolly Partonis postponing her U.S. tour for 6 to 8 weeks because of back problems created by her breasts, according to a statement posted Monday on her music Web site.
"I know I have been breaking my neck and bending over backwards trying to get my new Backwoods Barbie CD and world tour together, but I didn't mean to hurt myself doing it!," she said in a statement. "But hey, you try wagging these puppies around a while and see if you don't have back problems."
The tour was scheduled to start Feb. 28 in Minneapolis to promote her new album, "Backwoods Barbie." Tickets will be honored for the rescheduled dates.
"Seriously though, the doctors said I will be good as new in a few weeks, and I can't wait to get back out there," Parton said in the statement posted on DollyPartonMusic.com."See you soon, Dolly."
Hoops legend Charles Barkley says he definitely plans to run for governor of Alabama, but wants no campaign help from rabble-rousers like Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson. "I don't believe in them. They always play the race card, and you can't always play the race card," the former Houston Rockets power forward tells next month's Playboy. "Sometimes the race card is needed but not in every situation. We have to hold blacks more accountable for their actions."
Steve Madden and Al Roker are partnering in a TV reality series that focuses on all aspects of the shoe king's world, from the round-the-clock pressure that comes with designing and selling hundreds of different styles of women's shoes to his Upper East Side life as the married father of twins. Roker, who will produce the show through his company, Al Roker Entertainment, calls Madden "an American original and a sole brother. Working with a guy who designs women's shoes," Roker says, "is my wife's dream come true."
The rumors are true, confirmed by no less a source than her father: Jennifer Lopez is expecting twins.
And it isn't even a Lopez family first. "Yes, twins," her dad David Lopez said in an interview on the Spanish-language show Escándalo TV, PEOPLE en Español reports. "The thing is in my family, my sister also had twins, so it's a hereditary thing."
A video featuring The Hills’ resident villainess Heidi Montag singing her new dance-pop single, “Higher,” has hit the Web. Directed by ex-fiancé Spencer Pratt, the grainy clip resembles a home movie of Heidi enjoying a day at the beach: She’s climbing on some rocks, chasing some seagulls, running through some waves — all in a pink bikini.
Really? It just completely shocks me that this crap was directed by that losebag Spencer. Is she serious with this? Loved the finger spread fan hands--so show choir!
Kim Kardashian is reportedly being sued by Brandy's mother, accusing her of running up more than $120,000 in credit card charges without permission. The lawsuit also names Kim's siblings: Khloe, Kourtney, and Robert Jr. for allegedly using her credit card as well. The lawsuit is requesting for the money to pay for the charges plus 10 percent interest.
However, Kim told People magazine that she and her sibs actually had permission to use the credit card. Kim said: "We have her signature on all items."
In the lawsuit, Norwood's mother, Sonja Norwood, who is also her manager, alleges Kim Kardashian had only been authorized in 2004 to make one purchase on the Norwood American Express card in Kim's then-capacity as a stylist for Brandy (Brandy's brother, Ray J, also appeared in the infamous sex tape with Kim). Apparently after that, Kim passed on the credit card to her sibs who (allegedly) went to town, which included buying things from two of the Kardashian family-owned clothing stores, racking up a bill of $120,636.
Bachelor reject DeAnna Pappas will star in the new season of The Bachelorette!
After getting dissed on the last season of The Bachelor, DeAnna Pappas will get another shot at finding love on TV. Pappas, 26, a real estate agent from Newnan, Georgia, will headline the next season of ABC' s The Bachelorette, airing this summer.
Pappas endured a painful, last-minute rejection by Brad Womack on the Bachelor finale last November.
