tracy: April 2008 Archives
Like a smitten schoolgirl, Jessica Simpson is giddy over her romance with Dallas Cowboys star Tony Romo -- and she's yelling it from the rooftops.
"It feels like forever," Jess tells the new issue of Glamour. "I love this guy. Can you feel it?"
The singer says that dating Tony has brought her back to who she really is.
"What he's done for me is irreplaceable," she says. "He reintroduced me to myself. I thought that I had to be deeper, more profound and more artsy. ... Tony taught me that because he loves me [as me]. He made me feel comfortable [being myself] again.
Jessica said that dating people like John Mayer, after her split from Nick Lachey, who she said there was too much competition with, made her feel like she needed to be something she's not -- you know, like smart.
"You change with the guys you date. [I thought] I had to be more intellectual."
But, Jessica's footballer swooped in and accepted her for the ditz that she is. He admitted to a longtime crush on her on TV, which she saw, and it led to them getting together. On their first date, after phone calls and emails, Tony threw caution to the wind and went in for a big smooch. Jessica was taken back, but totally psyched at the same time.
"He goes like this across the table," Jess recalled, puckering up. "I go, 'What are you doing?' He goes, 'Nothing,' and starts pouting. I said, 'Were you just trying to kiss me in front of all these people?' He goes, 'Maybe.' I'm like, 'Try it again.' "
"The fact that this guy, on our first date, in the first 10 minutes of dinner, wanted to lean over the table and say, This is my girl and I want to kiss her – our first kiss in front of everybody – was awesome."
Awww. That is a really sweet story and, though I do pick on Jess for not being the brightest bulb in the bunch, I do think she is genuinely a good, nice person who deserves to be happy. Even if her happiness does come fully equipped with face-licking.
American Pie star Jason Biggs tied the knot on April 23, says Star magazine.
Jason went the no nonsense route, marrying his love, actress Jenny Mollen, at City Hall in Los Angeles.
"Jason and Jenny agreed that they did not want to deal with the whole family thing because it would have been too stressful on both of them," says an insider. "They thought it would be a lot more relaxing to do it just the two of them with no pressure. It was a very private wedding and that is exactly how they wanted it."
Later that night, the new marrieds, who had gotten engaged in January, had a celebratory dinner with a small group of pals in Beverly Hills. Two days later, they said "Aloha" to a Hawaiian honeymoon .
"They are so in love that all that mattered to them was just getting married, whether there were frills or not," says the source. "Maybe one day later they will have the whole white dress and flowers major celebration, but not now. They just want this to be an intimate event between the two of them."
Congrats to the happy couple!
What? You didn't know? John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston are totally in love. Us Weekly says so.
The new issue of the mag outlines their Miami hookup, saying that this new, hot twosome spent five whole days in Jen's hotel room.
It's the "real story." Really, it is.
The honor goes to Kate Hudson!
"I was a tomboy. I had three brothers," says the actress and mom to People, of growing up . "I was the girl with the dress on that always came back in the house filthy with scrapes and bruises. But I was always very girly. I had to be able to twirl so that my underwear showed."
Love that! Get a peek at the other 99 stunners here.
Lauren Conrad's got a new boyfriend that we may be meeting on an upcoming episode of The Hills.
According to E! Online, LC has taken up with Doug Reinhardt, a 22-year-old Californian, who plays baseball for the Baltimore Orioles' minor league team. And he's cute.
Lauren and Doug have been seeing snuggling at Goa and attending Stephanie Pratt's birthday party together at Boulevard3 -- a party that was filmed for The Hills. Drama!
Apparently, Doug is no stranger to reality TV (shocking), as his sister, Casey, was on season 2 of Laguna Beach with Lauren and Co., but I have no recollection of her and Doug never appeared on camera.
I would like to get to know him better.
I would use some french words in this post, except for the fact that I took spanish in high school and I don't know more than "mon cheri" and that line from "Lady Marmalade," so you'll have to deal with english.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie arrived in France, where they will stay until the new Brangatot arrives. The family is currently living in Microsoft co-founder, Paul Allen's, Villa Maryland in Saint Jean Cap Ferrat on the French Riviera.
Oooh la la.
"It's a breathtaking villa with views out over the Mediterranean [Sea] and they have roughly 12 staff on hand at all times to get them anything they need," a source told E! Online. "They've stayed there before and love the house, it's very private and no one can see in."
The couple plan to stay there until they find the perfect place for their brood to reside and wait for the latest additions to arrive.
"They love France and will now be here until after the babies are born and Angie is looking at Marseille hospitals as a potential place to give birth."
Did that source say "babies" with an "s"? Do you wish Brad & Angie would just stay in France forever? Talk back!
Did you guys watch American Idol last night? If not, let me set this clip up for you. It was Neil Diamond night and each contestant was to sing two songs but, because the show was so pressed for time, the judges didn't get to give their evaluation until after all the contestants sang their first song. It was supposed to be a like a firing squad -- the kids all lined up and the judges were just going to go down the line and say what they thought of the first performance. So, Randy Jackson goes and does his, "Dude! Blazin' hot" thing and sends it over to Paula Abdul, who then goes on to evaluate Jason Castro on BOTH of his performances. Are you following? The dread locked stoned-looking guy had only sang once, yet Paula was all, "Your second song left me a little empty." Um, maybe because he didn't sing it yet?
Everyone in the audience was laughing, Ryan Seacrest did not know what to do, and Jason Castro was doing his best to keep his smirk in check. I actually had to cover my eyes it was so embarrassing. Watch it for yourself.
Jennifer Lopez has apparently had second thoughts about her new show for TLC.
Originally slated to show the multi-talented diva in all aspects of her life, as she prepares to launch a new fragrance, a rep for the star says Jen will not be prancing her newborn twins in front of the cameras.
“The recent show Jennifer Lopez plans to produce for TLC is not a reality show,” says her manager, Simon Fields. “It’s a show that will track the creation, production and eventual launch of a new fragrance. Jennifer will appear in a creative, entrepreneurial capacity and will absolutely not feature her children and family life.”
Does that mean Marc Anthony won't be showing off his creepy self on the show? Well, I'm definitely not watching now.
Blech!
Benji Madden is killing me. The Good Charlotte rocker has done the unthinkable and has given Paris Hilton even more reason to think she's the greatest thing since sliced bread -- he's written her a song. And, no surprise, she's telling the world.
"He actually wrote me a beautiful song, and actually recorded it in the studio," Paris told People.com. "He surprised me with it. It's called, 'Shine Your Light.' It's this really beautiful love song about me. It was the sweetest thing that anyone has ever done for me."
Let me tell you what I got out of that sentence: "Actually, me, me, me, actually, me."
But, Paris continued to gush about how wonderful her boyfriend of two whole months is to her. "He's my best friend," she said. "He's just different from any guy that I've ever been with. I just trust him completely, and I know that he'd be there for me, no matter what."
So, is she already planning a spectacle of a wedding?
"I don't know," she smiled, "My life's a lot different now, I'm very much at peace, and I'm so happy, and in control, and so very excited about life."
There's no way Benji is coming out of this unscathed.
But will it have a handlebar mustache?
My Name Is Earl's Jason Lee and his girlfriend, Ceren Alkac, are expecting a baby.
According to People.com, the new addition will be bringing good karma to all this fall. It will be the first child for the couple together, but the second for Jason, who has a four-year-old son, Pilot Inspektor (totally not kidding) with his ex-wife, Beth Riesgraf.
Congrats!
Hothead Gary Dourdan is in a ton of hot water.
According to TMZ.com, the CSI star was arrested yesterday on suspicion of possessing heroin, cocaine, ecstasy and prescription drugs. Police say they found the actor asleep in his car at 5:21 AM in Palm Springs, when they approached his vehicle and found his stash.
Gary was then taken to the station, where he posted $5000 bail and left.
Here's a little equation I like to live my life by:
Asleep in your car + lots of drugs = NO GOOD.
Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag still hate each other, but not enough to give up being on the cover of Rolling Stone. The fighting duo, along with Hills pals Audrina "I Got Naked Because I Was Trusting" Partridge and Whitney Port, grace the new issue of the mag. And this wasn't one of those "shot separately" sort of things -- I doubt the magazine would stand for that -- they were both at the same shoot -- they just didn't socialize or stand near each other.
The girls were also breathing the same air last night, as they both attended the Scarlet HD TV Series bash in Los Angeles. Heidi gave her usual line regarding Lauren, "I really pray for her," she told UsMagazine.com, while Lauren's BFF, Lo Bosworth, who's obviously some sort of reality TV second class citizen (where is she on the RS cover?), took her own jab at Heidi.
"I wasn't aware that Heidi was an especially religious gal," the sass-pot cracked. "But if she wants to pray, she can pray all she wants."
Lauren rolled her eyes at the Heidi's comment and said, "That’s really nice of her.'
Will it ever end?
We can always count on Amy Winehouse to entertain.
This photo was not staged or posed. It is an actual shot of Amy, peering out her front door at the paparazzi. Yes, she actually gets up in the morning and voluntarily puts her eyeliner on like that.
Her expression is priceless.


Not Hilary Duff.
Though reports surfaced that Hil was approached to play the Brenda Walsh on the new 90210 spinoff, insiders say the former teen queen has passed on the role, in hopes to break out of the young girl genre that she is always cast in.
I think it's a bad move.
Anyway, someone who is jumping on the Bev bandwagon is former Full House star Lori Loughlin. She'll play the wife of the new principal of West Beverly High, who would probably lock horns with Jennie Garth, if she would just SIGN ON TO PLAY KELLY.
Are you listening, Jen?
We told you Tom Cruise will be returning to The Oprah Winfrey Show for May sweeps, but aren't you wondering if Oprah is going to take the bull by the horns and really ask all the stuff we want to know?
Yes, she does, says E! Online's Mark Malkin, who reports that Oprah told her Las Vegas audience, this past weekend, all about the upcoming interview with the former couch-jumping freak. Ops revealed that she talks to Tom about Scientology, his fight with Matt Lauer on the Today show, and how Tom feels now about mucking up the furniture on Oprah's set three years ago.
The first part of the two-part interview with Tom, which airs on May 2, takes place at his home in Telluride, Colorado -- and he even takes Ops for a ride on a snowmobile! Part two, airing on May 5, is back in the Chicago studio.
Setting my DVR now...
I love How I Met Your Mother so much (did you see last night's episode?) that I don't think it even needs the star power of Britney Spears to make it worth watching, but, that being said, I'm psyched about the pop star's scheduled return to the sitcom.
Production has begun on Brit's latest episode, in which she is reprising her role of Abby, the quirky, sort of dumb receptionist at Ted's girlfriend's office. Last we saw Abby, she was doing some flirting with my man Barney, and now, it seems, they've graduated into having some sort of a relationship, which they are flaunting in front of Ted.
In a new statement, How I Met Your Mother’s executive producer and co-creator Craig Thomas told People.com, “We’re all so thrilled to have Britney joining us once again. And just to head it off at the pass this time around: Yes, Mom, Britney’s very nice and no, I can’t get her autograph for you.”
The episode is set to air May 12.
Famed photographer Annie Leibovitz is defending her photo of Miley Cyrus, that is causing quite the uproar.
“I'm sorry that my portrait of Miley has been misinterpreted," she said in a statement, of the photos she shot for Vanity Fair. "Miley and I looked at fashion photographs together, and we discussed the picture in that context before we shot it. The photograph is a simple, classic portrait, shot with very little makeup, and I think it is very beautiful.”
Miley herself is making a big deal out the photos, along with seemingly everyone else in the world, saying that she was "embarrassed" by the final product. The Disney Channel is going even further, claiming that Vanity Fair "manipulated" the fifteen-year-old, to which the magazine adamantly denies.
"Miley's parents and/or minders were on the set all day," a rep for the mag said. "Since the photo was taken digitally, they saw it on the shoot and everyone thought it was a beautiful and natural portrait of Miley."
Personally, I think this whole thing has been blown out of proportion (see the New York Post cover above). I think the photos are fine -- not raunchy, not provocative, just fine. My problem is Miley's backpedaling. She did the shoot, she probably loved the photo, but now, because it's ruffled some feathers, she is saying she's ashamed of them. It's crap.
Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver rocker Scott Weiland has been sentenced to eight days in jail, stemming from DUI conviction No. 2.
The singer was arrested back in November, when he crashed his car and failed a slew of sobriety tests. Scott's lawyer entered a no contest plea on his behalf and, in addition to the time behind bars, the troubled front man will have to partake in an 18-month alcohol education class and pay nearly $2,000 in fines.
All good things, considering this dude has made a career of playing with drugs and alcohol.
In an instance of life imitating art, Baby Mama star Amy Poehler has announced that she and her hubby, Will Arnett, are expecting their first child.
The couple, who have been married since 2003, will welcome their bound-to-be funny baby into the world sometime in the fall.
Congrats!
So, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have been dating for five whole minutes now, obviously the next step is the engagement rumor.
Mimi, doing her best to always keep the spotlight where it belongs -- on her -- flashed a huge, diamond rock on her left ring finger last night, at the premiere of her new movie, Tennessee. Also making waves was the sight of Nick, who remained very close to his new love, holding her hand at Tenjune's afterparty for the film.
When asked if the duo had gotten engaged, Nick's rep had no comment, but Mariah's young buck gushed that he loved "everything" about the pop diva.
If they are suddenly getting married, they could easily give Paris and Benji a run for their money in the Most Ridiculous Relationship category.
Dear Halle Berry,
Now you're just hurting my feelings unnecessarily. First you had to go and get that ridiculously gorgeous boyfriend to go along with your ridiculously gorgeous self, then you had the nerve to throw your love in our faces by getting pregnant by him, then you pranced your big, beautifully pregnant belly around, looking even more fabulous than ever, and now, the icing on the cake, you insist on looking this hot just five weeks after giving birth to Nahla.
I'm sorry, but we can no longer be friends.
Jealous of you forever,
Tracy
Cameron Diaz continues to mourn the loss of her beloved father at home with her family, which meant skipping a press junket on Saturday, for her new movie with Ashton Kutcher, What Happens In Vegas.
But, Ashton showed up to the premiere with a hand-written note from his costar, thanking everyone for all of their love and good thoughts during this tough time. Here's what it said:
First of all I want to thank all of you for your support over the years.
So many films, so many weekends discussing films. I was really looking forward to this weekend getting to talk to my friends about a film that I am so proud of.
Due to the loss of my father I have chosen to be with my family this weekend. But it was important for me to convey to all of you how much I love this film. We really did have the best time, most fun and laughs making it. I know that the stories Ashton, Rob [Corddry] and [Director] Tom [Vaughan] share with you will illustrate that point. I was fortunate to work with a group of truly gifted individuals that share the common denominator of a generous heart and wickedly sick sense of humor.
This weekend I am screening What Happens in Vegas for my family. It was a unanimous decision that we all needed to share a good laugh. After all that's why we make films like these. So people can leave behind their worries for a couple of hours. Have a good laugh.
I picture all of your smiles and it makes me happy.
Thank you for your continued support. It is much appreciated.
Cameron
This is straight out of the "OWWWW" file.
Kenny Chesney managed to get on stage and perform his little cowboy hat heart out, after getting his foot crushed in an elevator-type platform, that was supposed to life him to his entrance in the middle of Williams-Brice Stadium, in Columbia, SC.
The country music man's right foot got caught in the lifting device on Saturday night, but Kenny managed to complete his entire performance, though not without hobbling around. After the show, medics had to cut his boot off to assess the extent of the injury (which is not currently known).
But the good 'ol boy that he is, Kenny issued this statement:
"I took one look at those fans, and there was no way I wasn't going on. Sometimes the energy and the adrenalin pull you through. They had come to rock, and there was no way I was sending them home with anything less than the best of what me and my guys came to do – put it all out there and give them back at least as good as they gave us. Honestly, through the pain, through all of it, Columbia, S.C., totally got me through."
Now that's dedication. If I stub my toe I have to cancel all of my activities for the next month.
Feel better, Kenny!
Crazy Amy Winehouse walked away with just a slap on the wrist, after allegedly headbutting some dude on the streets of England.
After voluntarily arriving at the police station for questioning on Friday, Amy spent the night in jail when a doctor determined she was "in no fit state" to be interviewed.
What does that mean? Did she go to the station all drunky and loony and bodyslam some people inside? Come on, you know it's totally possible.
Anyway, after sleeping it off, Amy was questioned about the alleged assault on Saturday morning and was cautioned for "common assault." Then she was on her way.
They should have, at least, headbutted her back. An eye for an eye...
Joel Madden continues to be the new love of my life, as he surprised his honey, Nicole Richie, with a weekend getaway to one of her favorite places.
"[Nicole] hasn't been able to do a whole lot over the year, so we're having a little family trip," Joel told People.com.
"I [rented] a house and surprised Nicole with a weekend trip because she likes Coachella. She was like, 'I really want to go!' So I surprised her. We brought the baby."
The couple partied in Palm Springs at the music & arts festival, where performances by Prince, Jack Johnson and Roger Waters took place.
Also on hand? "So in love" Paris Hilton and Benji Madden, of course. When asked whether he or his brother would marry first, Joel said, "We're the family with the baby so I think probably us, but who knows."
I can't. Paris and Benji are really going to get married? I can NOT.
My friends and I just had a discussion over the weekend about whether Miley Cyrus was going to end up like Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan. Most of us thought "no way," but my friend D actually bet money that, before Miley was 21, she would either be caught flashing her hoo-ha on camera or would get caught with drugs.
And here's Miley, apologizing profusely for a set of photos in Vanity Fair, where she appears to have posed topless.
"My goal in my music and my acting is always to make people happy. For Vanity Fair, I was so honored and thrilled to work with Annie [Leibovitz]. I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed."
Also addressing the recent photos swirling around the internet, in which the Hannah Montana star poses provocatively with a boy -- and shows some skin -- Miley says she's just a kid who's bound to mess up every now and then.
"The pictures of me on the Internet were silly, inappropriate shots. I appreciate all the support of my fans, and hope they understand that along the way I am going to make mistakes and I am not perfect. I never intended for any of this to happen and I am truly sorry if I have disappointed anyone. Most of all," she says, "I have let myself down. I will learn from my mistakes and trust my support team. My family and my faith will guide me through my life's journey."
Disney says Miley was mislead by Vanity Fair, accusing them of exploiting their star and just trying to sell magazines, while VF says Miley's parents were on set and knew exactly what they were shooting.
So, is Miley just doing damage control to protect her good girl image? Is there a little bit of LiLo or a Brit Brit inside of her, waiting to let loose? You can still get in on the bet....


According to People.com, John and Jen had (count 'em) two dates this past Friday in Miami. First they had a private lunch at Michael's Genuine Food & Drink in the Miami Design District -- which opened early especially for them -- where they shared their meals like a lovey-dovey twosome.
"I can't speculate on what kind of meeting it was but they looked happy and seemed to have a great time," the owner of the eatery said.
Later that night J&J re-teamed for a late dinner at Casa Tua on South Beach. As they left, around 1 a.m., John reportedly put his arm around Jen and, when they got back to her hotel, they were holding hands!
So, what's up? Supposedly they met through mutual pal Sheryl Crow. Maybe John is trying to make everyone forget that he totally made out with Perez Hilton and lied about it?
Do you think Johnnifer could make it as a couple?
Remember when I told you that Amy Winehouse was under investigation for attacking some guy in London?
Well, that investigation has led to her arrest!
"I can confirm that a 24-year-old woman has been arrested by appointment at a central London police station and is currently in custody," a Scotland Yard spokesman told People.com.
It is a policy in England to arrest a suspect before questioning them in connection to a possible crime, so Amy has not been charged with anything, yet, but the allegedly attacked man says all he tried to do was hail Amy a cab when she headbutted him.
Stay tuned....
It's only fair to give a shout-out to the cute mommies of Hollywood, as we're always quick to oooh and ahh over the cute dads. So, as a reminder to all of you that Mother's Day is just around the corner (start thinking about what to get your mom now), here's Will & Grace's Debra Messing, showing some love to her four-year-old son, Roman, at LAX.
Super sweet!
What has gotten into Gwyneth Paltrow?
Girl got a hair cut and, all of a sudden, she's like a new woman. The Iron Man star showed some major leg at the movie's premiere in London, rocking a pair of sexy stilettos and a smile.
This is a new woman -- and it's totally working for her. Hot!
Would Sophia Bush really make the same mistake twice?
The One Tree Hill beauty was previously married to costar Chad Michael Murray, after a whirlwind romance, but sadly split after only five months of marriage, when reports surfaced that Chad fooled around with Paris Hilton on the set of House of Wax. Now, Page Six is reporting that Sophia was getting cozy with the other male OTH heartthrob, James Lafferty, who plays Nathan.
According to the gossip column, the costars were cuddled up in a booth at 1Oak, with her hand on his thigh -- then they left together.
Yes, they could absolutely just be friends, and I'm not sure that Sophia would go down that road again, considering she has to act everyday with her cheating ex-husband, who's now engaged to a teen-aged extra he met on set, but it would be an interesting payback. How uncomfortable would Chad be to have to see Sophia and James all lovey-dovey right in front of his face?
Like Sophia, I would sort of love that.
I hope Oprah didn't have the sofas cleaned recently, because here comes Tom Cruise!
Tom will be returning Oprah's show for the first time since he acted liked a loony Mexican jumping bean in 2005, professing his love for Katie Holmes and dragging his then-girlfriend out on stage.
The show will air in two parts for May sweeps, and is centered around Tom's 25 years in the movie business -- that would be how long it has been since he danced in his underwear in Risky Business.
(Side note: Makes me feel so old)
One part of the highly-anticipated interview will be shot in Op's regular studio before a live audience. The other, will have Oprah traveling to Tom's Telluride home.
Fingers crossed that Oprah wears her moon shoes and jumps on some of TomKat's furniture.
Everybody has to pay taxes -- even celebrities. And, if you don't, you're going to jail. Simple as that.
Actor Wesley Snipes was sentenced to three years in jail, after being found guilty of tax evasion. As the Florida judge read the whopping sentence (which was the maximum), the people in the courtroom gasped, but Wes showed no emotion.
"I'm very sorry for my mistakes and errors. I apologize to my family, the court and the community," the actor said. "I've asked the court to show me mercy and the opportunity to make things right."
He also had to pay $5 million -- of the reported $41 million that he owes the government -- at yesterday's sentencing.
That is so much money that I can't even begin to wrap my brain around it. Did he bring it in a suitcase? Did he ask, "Would you like that in tens and twenties?"
Carmen Electra is giving Pam Anderson a run for her money in the marriage department.
According to her rep, Carmen and boyfriend of less than a year, Korn guitarist Rob Patterson, are engaged. Rob reportedly popped the question over the weekend, while the couple was partying in Las Vegas for Carmen's birthday.
"He told friends three days ago that he got engaged," a source told People.com. "The ring is a black diamond set in white diamonds."
This will be Carmen's third go 'round in the marriage department, having been previously wed to Dave Navarro and (ick) Dennis Rodman.
Who's taking bets on how long this one will last?
Seriously, what is the deal with Amy Winehouse?
According to People.com, British police are looking into the claim that the beehive-haired singer attacked some guy early Wednesday morning.
"Police are investigating an alleged assault on Chalk Farm Road at approximately 3:20 am on April 23," says a Metropolitan Police spokesman. "A 38-year-old man [contacted] Kentish Town police station and alleged a 24-year-old woman had assaulted him. No arrests have been made as yet but inquiries continue."
The Sun says Amy head-butted the man outside of bar when he tried to hail her a taxi and show photos of the loony lady walking into a lamppost.
She head-butted some guy? That's some crazy...
Carrie Underwood looks absolutely glowy and gorgeous on the cover of the new InStyle, but this singing sensation says she often isn't thrilled with what's staring back at her in the mirror.
"I think about what I look like probably more than I should. But I think everybody is her own worst critic," she tells the mag. "Some days I step out of the shower, put my lotion on, and I'll be like 'Ugh, ew, ew.' "
I so can relate.
Carrie, who recently split from boyfriend Chace Crawford, admits she's been cheated on and says that the reason for her not-so-perfect-spots probably has to do with how she deals with heartache.
"I'm a 'let it go, move on' kind of person. And ice cream is my friend. If anybody sees me eating a sundae and I look unhappy, something bad has happened," the American Idol winner admits. "I am drowning my sorrows in fudge and caramel and whipped cream."
The beauty seems, sadly, super hard on herself. "If I put on five pounds, it's noticed immediately," Carrie says. But, in the same breath she laments, "I'm content with 90 percent of me. I like my teeth. Sometimes I wonder if my orthodontist realizes how important he was."
It bothers me so much when beautiful girls don't see themselves as such.
Angelina Jolie's younger look-a-like Megan Fox has been named FHM's Sexiest Woman in the World. The men's mag listed Hollywood's top 100 hotties, and the Transformers star, who is also engaged to 90210's David Silver (aka Brian Green), beat out Angie and Scarlett Johansson to take the top spot.
"Megan is the deserving winner of this year's FHM title," said FHM Online U.S. Editor JR Futrell. "She's young, she's hot, she's a rising star and her sex appeal has definitely transformed this year's list. She's got a great future ahead of her."
The actress has made an impressive leap on the list, originally premiering on it in 2006 at No. 68, and inching up three places to 65 last year -- and now she's No.1!
The full list is here -- but I'll save you some trouble. Britney Spears ranked at 100 (at least she made it) and, I know this is really what you want to know, Angelina came in at No. 12, with Jennifer Aniston at 42.
Jeremy Piven will take a break from hugging it out on Entourage to head to New York for a stint on Broadway.
Yup, you read that right -- the Piv has landed a role in David Mamet's Speed-the-Plow, which is set to open on The Great White Way in November. Ari Gold will become a "warring movie producer" in the new production, and though no other big names have been confirmed, sources say that Jessica Alba may take a role alongside Jeremy, after her baby is born.
Would Jeremy be the draw that gets you to the theater?

Ellen DeGeneres pulled no punches when she flat-out asked Ashlee Simpson if she was expecting, during a taping of El's talk show Wednesday.
"Are you or are you not pregnant?" Ellen asked.
That's right, El -- don't stand for her crap!
But Ash stuck to her guns, saying, "Well, that has been going on for quite a while. That is something that I choose personally not to discuss."
Then she put the capital "A" in annoying when she added, "Do I look like I had 10 cheeseburgers or something?" addressing the audience and standing up. "Because I don't think I do."
Ellen then asked if Ashley planned on keeping the world in suspense as long as Jennifer Lopez did. To which the newly-engaged singer said she wouldn't. "I swear. I promise you that. I give you my pinky on that."
Good for Ellen for not dancing around the topic (it's so not her style -- well, dancing is, but you know what I mean) -- bad for Ash for stretching this out to the point where the world is about to stop caring.
Sopranos beauty Jamie-Lynn Sigler and her boyfriend of two years, nightclub owner Scott Sartiano, have ended their relationship.
"They're both very focused on their careers," a source told UsMagazine.com. "It wasn't a bad breakup. They're still talking."
It seems that life is just taking these two in different directions, as Jamie is moving to L.A. to try and get some work, while Scott's (who once dated Ashley Olsen) bread and butter is the New York nightlife
"It just couldn't work," the insider said. "It's what's best for them right now. They're both really sad. They were very in love."
Womp, womp.
Why does Jennifer Lopez need to do a reality show? She has so much money and a brand new set of twins -- why, why, why?
According to People.com, Jen has signed with TLC to co-executive produce, co-create and star in the “docu-series,” which will focus on how the new mom survives her crazy life. The show will center around La Lopez's days of being a working superstar mom and launching her new fragrance.
“I’m looking forward to sharing this exciting journey together,” she said of teaming with the cable network.
“Jennifer is unbelievably passionate about life and will be an incredible role model for our audience,” TLC's President, Angela Shapiro-Mathes said in a statement.
My only thought is that Jen thinks the show will increase sales of her new perfume -- or that she's that desperate to be back in the spotlight. Either way, the whole thing sounds crazy to me.
Um, here's Ashlee Simpson on the cover of the May issue of Shape.
"I never thought I'd be on the cover of a magazine in a bikini," Mrs. Pete Wentz-to-be tells the mag.
Ash says she's been working out with a trainer two to three times a week and has revamped her diet, eating yogurt and granola for breakfast, turkey or veggie wraps for lunch and lean proteins like fish and chicken for dinner.
"I try to listen to what my body craves," she said. "Sometimes it tells me to eat more fruit, but sometimes it tells me to eat Skittles!"
Nothing about pickles and ice cream? Interesting...
Ugly Betty's Daniel, Eric Mabius, and his wife, interior designer Ivy Sherman, have revealed that they are expecting their second child.
"We don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet," Betty's Boss told the Associated Press.
The new baby will join big brother Maxwell, almost 2.
Congrats!

Who is that girl?
Kim Kardashian is almost unrecognizable without the gobs and gobs of makeup that she is usually wearing. She actually went out shopping at Kitson, looking au naturel. Maybe it was on a dare or something, but I have to give her props -- girl even smile for the paparazzi.
Makes her a tad more human, no?
The man is a baby-making machine!
Hottie actor Mark Wahlberg and his fiancée of four years, Rhea Durham, are expecting their third child together. According to OK!, Mark's pal blabbed the news that the couple will be welcoming a boy into their family this fall.
"Mark is thrilled to be having another baby," said the insider. "He is an amazing dad, and his two children are his world. He always used to joke about wanting at least a dozen kids, but it looks like he wasn't joking after all."
The family man already has daughter Ella Rae, 4, and a son, Michael, 2.
Congrats!
America's favorite couple is splitting!
I'm totally kidding -- well, not about the split, but about them being America's favorite couple. Star Jones has filed for divorce from husband Al Reynolds, after three-and-a-half years of marriage.
"Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate area of my life. A month ago I filed for divorce," Star revealed to Entertainment Tonight. "The dissolution of a marriage is a difficult time in anyone's life that requires privacy with one's thoughts. I have committed myself to handling this situation with dignity and grace and look forward to emerging from this period as a stronger and wiser woman."
Something never seemed right between those two, anyway. Their wedding was a big spectacle and the whole marriage appeared to be pretty staged. Now Star can out her her big lollipop head back on the market and find a new man.
The main reason I am running the cover of the new Star is because this is the first positive magazine cover dedicated to Britney Spears in eons. For that reason alone Brit should wallpaper her house in it.
The mag, filled with new and exclusive photos of the pop star on the beach in Malibu, says Brit has lost 20lbs in 30 days, that her cellulite has magically disappeared, and that her legs are back to be being Thoroughbred-caliber (Hi, Pat!). If you want to see how she did it, pick up the new issue on May 5.
I bet the people at Bally's are high-fiving as we speak.
I don't know how true this is, but it's worth a listen.
According to the New York Post, O.J. Simpson has asked to be included in the next installment of Donald Trump' s Celebrity Apprentice.
“Simpson really wants to do it. Trump and NBC are thinking about it, but are being very cautious,” a source told the paper. “There’s a certain amount of heat associated with Simpson.”
Um, yeah. If I were Donald, and I fired O.J. on national television, I'd sleep with one eye open for the rest of my days.
Suri Cruise turned the big 2 on April 18, and that girl partied like it was 1999.
Suri's parents, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes went all out for their baby's b-day, reportedly spending over $100,000 on an afternoon party for family and friends.
So, what does that kind of money buy a kid who was born in 2006? A butterfly-themed bash for Suri, who loves the little buggers, at a private home in the Hollywood Hills adorned with $17,000 in fresh flowers. Also on hand: $5000 worth of cakes from LA's Sweet Lady Jane bakery -- every guest get their own personalized cake -- the birthday cake, which was four-tiered with white buttercream icing and -- you guessed it -- sugar-paste bumblebees and butterflies! And for mama Katie, who is a cupcake-loving fool, $230 worth of cupcakes from LA bakery Sprinkles.
In related news, Suri hasn't slept in 5 days.
"It was a great party," one attendee said. "Suri was in a really great mood and loved having all the balloons around.”
Um, my son's party at Party Gym was really good, too. We gave out candy bags.
I don't think Miley Cyrus is going to have to worry about how she's going to pay for her Junior prom.
The teen phenomenon has just signed a seven-figure book deal with Disney (her bread and butter), to write about her memoirs.
That kills me -- her memoirs? She's 15!
The book will center on Miley's climb to fame, as she was guided by her mom, Leticia. As a bonus, and apparently worth at least a few mil, it will include never-before-seen family photos. Ooooooooooooh!
"I hope to motivate mothers and daughters to build lifetimes of memories together and inspire kids around the world to live their dreams," Miley said in a statement. "I am so excited to let fans in on how important my relationship with my family is to me."
Done! Any kid who hears that she's making millions of dollars to write about her life will probably want to do the same. Unfortunately, Jimmy's book (the 15-year-old boy who lives down the block from me) will be centered around his bus rides to school and his afternoons filled with texting and video games.
I just said he was a lucky man -- and I was right.
Richie Sambora plead guilty to one charge of DUI on Tuesday and just missed spending up to six months in jail. Instead, the Bon Jovi rocker was sentenced to three years probation, a three-month alcohol education class, and ordered to pay fees.
All in all, this was the best possible outcome for Rich, who was caught driving with a .13 blood-alcohol level last month -- with his daughter, Ava, in the car. No child endangerment charge & no jail. Now he needs to get sober and stay that way.
Beyonce and Jay-Z might not want to come right out and say that they are Mr. & Mrs., but their paperwork is certainly confirming it. The recording stars filed a signed marriage license in Scarsdale, NY on Friday, says People.com.
The date of the nups? April 4th -- that Friday night in question, where the big she-bang took place at Jay-Z's place in the city. They had filed for the license three days before the flower-filled wedding.
So, they're married. Kay?
That's why she's a genius. Maybe this whole pregnancy thing is just a publicity stunt, maybe it's not. But whoever is telling her to keep the world guessing is going to be responsible for her album sales. Girl hasn't seen this much publicity since her lip synching/hoe-down dance fiasco on SNL.
Kanye West and longtime girlfriend Alexis Phifer have broken up -- putting plans to marry to rest -- but the woman scorned is not dissing her ex. In fact, she's being super classy about the whole thing.
"It's always sad when things like this end, and we remain friends,” Alexis told People.com. "I wish him the best in his future and all of his endeavors. He's one of the most talented people I've ever met."
Sources say that Kanye has been majorly wrapped up in his career, specifically his new "Glow in the Dark" tour, and hadn't been making much time for Alexis. The pair, who had gotten engaged in 2006, just couldn't make it work, but kudos to Alexis for taking the high road. It's nice to see exes who can have a mutual respect for each other even after things don't pan out the way they expected.
I absolutely LOVED this item from the New York Post's Page Six, regarding Lindsay Lohan and girlfriend(?) Samantha Ronson. We told you the two soul sisters were partying together over the weekend, and AA member Lindsay was seen drinking the night away, but here's a little tidbit about what happened when Ashley Olsen stopped by the deejay both to greet Sam:
Lindsay Lohan gets feisty when it comes to gal pal Sam Ronson. The two spent the weekend partying at the Beatrice Inn on Friday and Hawaiian Tropic Zone on Saturday, where Ronson was spinning, but Lohan didn't like all the attention Ronson was getting. "Ashley Olsen said hello to Sam at the Beatrice, and Lindsay screamed at her, 'Get your 15-year-old 'Full House' a - - away from my girlfriend,' " said our spy. Saturday, Lohan said Ronson "was ignoring her" and became upset. "Samantha was really focused on her work and didn't leave the booth for anything," said our spy. Lindsay is so into her pal, she's even created a Facebook profile under "Lindsay Ronson."
I know the spies said that LiLo was drinking Red Bull and Grey Goose, but I'm thinking there were a couple of shots of CRAZY in there, as well.
KITT, bring me some band-aids!
Here's the good news; David Hasselhoff's latest hospital stay has nothing do with him falling off the wagon and shoving hamburgers in his mouth. The bad news? The dude had a blood river flowing from his head, when a surgical wound above his eye reopened.
According to his rep, Judy Katz, Hoff's just fine now and was scheduled to be released from the hospital by Monday evening. The America's Got Talent judge reportedly had something removed from his face last week (what, we don't know), and, when the incision started to bleed, his assistant took him to the hospital.
So, all's well on The Hoff front. You can go back to eating your burgers in peace.
For Kate Hudson's 29th birthday on Saturday, the actress spent the day with her on-again love, Owen Wilson, and his parents in Miami.
According to People.com, the group lunched at Lario's on South Beach Saturday afternoon. "The four of them sat away from the crowds and had a blast," said a spy. "Kate and Owen looked very happy and were talking up a storm to Owen's parents."
Later that night, they dropped the 'rents and it was all about the party, as Kate, Owen and some of Kate's girlfriends headed out for dinner at Ago at the Shore Club. Following their good meal, Kate and Owen held hands as they walked to the Skybar, where they hung all over each other poolside -- on a bed.
On witness said the renewed lovebirds kissed up a storm and "were very sweet looking, it was super lovey-dovey."
Are you guys happy that these two are back together? I am. I think they are genuinely in love. Or Owen is, anyway.
Another Cruise will be speeding onto the big screen, as Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's son, Connor, has just snagged a role in the new Will Smith movie, Seven Pounds.
Yes, it is a little curious considering Tom and Will are BFFs, but sources say that Connor had to audition for the role -- which is a younger version of Will's character.
"Tom is so proud of Connor," says a source. "He's proud of him for really doing this on his own."
For his first time out, Connor is in decent company in the flick, which also stars Woody Harrelson and Rosario Dawson.
I tend to be skeptical when mega movie star's kids get roles in films, but Will and Jada's little one, Jayden, had a big role in dad's The Pursuit of Happiness and rocked it. Maybe Connor is just as good?
This might be the lamest story in creation, but I would never want to cheat my Blabber-ers out of having something to talk about around the water cooler.
Here's the deal -- Jessica Simpson and her boyfriend, football player Tony Romo, went out to celebrate his birthday, at Suite in Dallas, with friends. They danced and partied, and Jessica even did her best Marilyn Monroe impression and sang "Happy Birthday" to him over the microphone.
Then the cake came out. A No. 9, blue, Dallas Cowboys cake (like he's friggin' 8). They fed each other the confection, getting blue icing all over the place, as Jess took her tongue to her man.
"She licked cake from his face as everyone cheered them on. It was quite a spectacle," says one club insider. "But they looked really happy together. Jessica had blue icing all over her hands and mouth and Tony was laughing."
If you want see the photos -- they are here. Otherwise go on with your day and pretend I never wrote this.
It's no secret that Kanye West is pretty intense when it comes to his work -- but maybe he should be as passionate about his woman. Spies say that Kanye is so crazy about everything being perfect on his new tour that he and his fiancée, Alexis Phifer, have broken off their engagement.
A source close to the couple told UsMagazine.com that "Kanye is possessed by the tour and everything going on and just couldn't keep it going. They are still friends and have broken up and gotten back together before, so it could work out."
The insider said that Kanye and Alexis planned to marry as a tribute to his late mom, Donda West, who urged the couple, who have been dating on and off since 2002, to make it official.
"I’m just going to go and get married,” Kanye had told GQ last year. “I’m not going to make a big deal out of it.”
You can say that again.
New York magazine has done us all a huge solid by putting the sexy stars of The CW's Gossip Girl on their new cover -- in their underwear!
The "OMFG" show comes roaring back tonight with new episodes, and New York mag is on board, claiming GG is the "Best. Show. Ever."
I'm going to have to agree. I often find myself clapping at the end of an episode -- something that I haven't done since Kelly and Dylan were hooking up back in the day on 90210. But, if you're loco enough to not take my word for it, or New York mag's word, or the word of the millions of others who are foaming at the mouth for tonight's premiere, just watch it yourself. And when you're standing in your living room, with your mouth agape and your hands stinging from all the applauding you've done, you'll see what we're all texting about.
For those of you who have been keeping Michelle Williams and daughter Matilda Ledger in your thoughts, I thought I'd share this photo of the two girls with you. M&M went out for a stroll on Saturday in Brooklyn, NY -- where the weather was absolutely beautiful.
While we're sure that not a day goes by where they both don't miss the dearly-departed Heath Ledger, it's nice to see them out and about.
Isn't Matilda just the spitting image of her dad?


... Kirsten Dunst!
Blah! Just saying that leaves a terrible taste in my mouth.
According to PerezHilton.com, the rumors that Kiki and my beloved Ryan Gosling are hooking up are true! Kirsten and Ry are currently in NYC shooting their new movie, All Good Things, and have been seen out on numerous occasions doing some after-work flirting. Now, a source told PH that the costars were partying together at The Box on Saturday -- and were totally getting their kiss on.
"They were making out publicly," said the spy. "They didn't try to hide it."
Ugh! I need to go gargle.
