“I know it’s corny to say. … I love my life right now. The fashion alone is pretty unbelievable.”

– Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester admits she’s lucky in August’s Lucky, out July 8

A very active Kate Hudson joined her new love interest Lance Armstrong in Brentwood, CA this afternoon.

The two lovebirds shopped around their local shopping market place together but as soon as the photographers showed up they had a different idea. The blonde bombshell and her biker man had a secret escape plan. While Lance headed out to get the car, Kate counted to ten before darting out, but in the end the inseperable couple drove off with each other.

Very savvy, you two!

The 19-year-old is pregnant and expecting a baby girl in October!!

Her mom, Jamecia Bennett, is thrilled about the news. “I’m proud of how she did it. I was 16 when I got pregnant,” said Jamecia.

So, who’s the daddy? “He chooses not to be in the public eye,” said Jamecia. “I respect that.”

As for what he does for a living? “I can’t tell,” she said.

A baby shower is planned for August; no word on a wedding…..yet.

Kate Hudson showed off her leotard-clad rear end on her way into class at a Beverly Hills dance studio this morning.

Courtney looked rather at ease despite the unconventional mode of transport.

The stars stepped out in Paris today to watch British designer John Galliano deliver an ode to Vogue magazine during the kickoff Christian Dior show of Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week.

A-list guests including Liv Tyler, Janet Jackson and a very glamorous Eva Mendes gathered at the Rodin sculpture museum for the display, which launched three days of autumn-winter couture shows.

The Dior extravaganza was all about cinch-waisted jackets with extravagant folds at the waist. While skirts were translucent, evening gowns came in cascades of icy tulle sparkling with silver sequins.

Following the show, Janet said that she was busy preparing for the launch of her own line of lingerie later this year. “They’re classic,” she tells the AP. “There are some things that have a vintage feel to them.”

If Miss Jackson knows what’s best for her, she should get a quick tutorial from Galliano, who has the vintage look down pat.
