ASHLEE GETS GOODIES FOR TWO

Friday, May 30th, 2008

Looks like those pregnancy cravings are kicking in!!

Joined by a pal, Ashlee Simpson was spotted shopping at the Beverly Glen Market in Los Angeles yesterday.

The mum-to-be was decked out in head-to-black, likely an attempt to evade the inevitable bump watch photos that become daily headline news.

As for hubby Pete Wentz’s whereabouts? He stayed at home to watch the Lakers games.

Who knew the Emo extradonaire was such a sports nut?

LAKERS FANS

Friday, May 30th, 2008

The stars stepped out last night, but this it wasn’t for a movie premiere or a boutique opening.

Antonio Banderas, producer Jeffrey Katzenberg and Cameron Diaz sat courtside in Game Five of the NBA Western Conference Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

And it looks like all that star powered helped — the Lakers won the game 100-92 and thus advancing Kobe Bryant and the boys into the NBA finals.

Better luck next year, Tony Parker!

OPRAH QUITS MEAT BUT NOT FAN APPRECIATION

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Oprah Winfrey isn’t letting the demise of her media empire get her down.

The talk show diva stepped out today for a hardcore session of retail therapy in Beverly Hills. Looking ready to battle the California sun in a loose-fitting floral blouse, white gypsy skirt and the most adorable pair of white kitten heel peep-toes, Miss O greeted fans and happily offered her autograph to her many admirers who gathered at the upscale retailer to catch a glimpse of the most powerful woman on television.

After doing a little (and we’re talkin’ tiny when it comes to Oprah dollars) on her credit card, Oprah was driven to a high-end vegan restaurant where she (well, her minders) picked up some goodies to go. Why vegan, you ask? Miss Winfrey recently started a 21-day cleanse diet developed by spiritual counselor Kathy Freston, author of Quantum Wellness.

The self-admitted food addict has eliminated caffeine, sugar, alcohol, gluten and animal products on the diet, which usually lasts 3 weeks.

Says Oprah: “I had recently come to the conclusion that after spending weeks reading and rereading A New Earth and being on line with Eckhart Tolle that bringing a higher level of awareness to my eating was the solution I’d been avoiding. How can you say you’re trying to spiritually evolve, without even a thought about what happens to the animals whose lives are sacrificed in the name of gluttony?”

LILO GETS PRETTY FOR HER SIGNIFICANT OTHER

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Looking cut, coloured and blown, Lindsay Lohan was spotted leaving the Neil George Salon in Beverly Hills after getting her hair did.

So, just who is LiLo getting herself all dolled up for? Gal pal Samantha Ronson, of course! Just days after photos emerged of the bosom buddies engaging in a romantic kiss, rumour now has it that there’s a lot more to the smooch — a wedding in fact!

But don’t go calling them the Rohan Clan quite yet. Lindsay’s tireless publicist Leslie Sloane denies the gay accusations, stating the women are not engaged and won’t be following in the soon-to-be wedded footsteps of gay couple Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi. She called all of the speculation about the starlet’s sexual orientation nonsense, adding: “This is gross. She is not a bad girl. Leave her alone!”

It’s unknown whether or not Lindsay and Samantha are truly more than just friends, but they are still out-and-about and adding to the lengthening dossier of Lohan press coverage.

And, after all, isn’t that all that matters?

POSH ENJOYS THE GOOD LIFE

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Victoria Beckham has kept herself quite busy ever since hubby David Beckham flew to London for an exhibition soccer match.

Today’s agenda? Lunch with some of her fabulous friends at Shutter’s on the Beach in Santa Monica, CA.

Looking seasonably fashionable in a bright yellow dress and matching handbag, the self-appointed style icon made sure to perform her traditional strut in front of the paparazzi before sneaking inside to snack on some lettuce leaves and vinegarette.

Next up for Mrs. Beckham? Posh will soon auction off her glittering collection of outfits from the Spice Girls world tour in a bid to raise $2 million for charity.

DEMI AND ASHTON TAKE FLIGHT

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Just moments ago, celebrity cougar Demi Moore and her boy bride Ashton Kutcher were snapped arriving LAX international airport in Los Angeles.

The inseperable twosome tried their best to be incognito while making their way to their limousine, but nothing could evade the lense of our photogs.

Meanwhile, looking uber casual with her hair down and not a spot of makeup on, Demi was sporting some strange tattoo-like markings on both her wrist.

A Kabbalah ritual or did Demi just make a horrible, horrible mistake?

Stay tuned!

BABY BOOSTS HALLE’S CAREER

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Looking ready for summer in a gorgeous floral dress, Halle Berry is spotted arriving at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills on Thursday. Rumour has it the new mom was the legendary hotel-to-the-stars for a new photo-shoot.

Meanwhile, Miss Berry says her newfound status of mother will likely to boost her chances of landing more Oscar-winning roles — because having a baby has killed off her sex symbol status.

Says the gorgeous mother to two-month-old Nahla Aubry: “I feel having a baby will open up a whole new world for me. I think I’ll actually find better roles, because I’ve gotten past being the ingenue and sex symbol.”

But studio bosses will have to get used to a harder-to-come-by Berry - she plans to take much longer gaps between jobs, so she can be a proper mother.

The 41-year-old adds, “I’m definitely going to work less. I used to put so much pressure on myself to succeed that it often made me very unhappy in my personal life. I felt on the verge of burning out three or four years ago.”

JOHN BLOGS ABOUT PETE

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

John Mayer is blogging crazy again!

In a post that just went up, he writes all about Pete Wentz. “You’re one of the best eggs in the music industry, hands down,” says Mayer.

“Every time we get the chance to hang I’m inspired by your creativity. Your mind is like a stadium with the dome open… you have ZERO judgment when it comes to things that move you. When most people get the feeling they might like an idea, or a shirt, they run it through a series of filters; ‘what should I think, given my personal attributes?’ ‘How does this read?’ ‘What would Kanye do?’ You have what makes talented people successful for years and years — a brave sense of self and a completely authentic relationship with your tastes.”

He adds, out of nowhere: “Isn’t it weird when you’re alone in your hotel room and the ice in that bucket melts, shifting it all and making it sound like someone’s hiding in your closet? That always gets me.”

JESSICA IS ALL COUNTRY

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Dallas Cowboys official jinx and alleged country singer Jessica Simpson arrives at LAX airport with pal and celebrity stylist Ken Paves on Thursday.

The blonde bombshell was all smiles as she rushed through the terminal and struck several poses for photogs. After having recently reconciled with beau Tony Romo and the release of her first country single Come on Over, we cant blame her for the ear to ear grin.

Now, if she could only stay away from the Dallas Cowboys training facility, then the world will finally be back in harmony.

MRS. GYLLENHAAL?

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Soccer mom look-a-like Reese Witherspoon was spotted running some errands in Brentwood, CA today.

The 32-year-old actress and mother-of-two has been feeling the pressure for more kids from current beau Jake Gyllenhaal as of late. Sources close to the Rendition star have hinted at the fact the Gyllenhaal is very eager to start a family with his lady love and is waiting for the right time to pop the question and do it right.

Our thoughts on more kids and the impending union? Match made in heaven or yet another Hollywood romance destined for doom?
