It's no meat dress, but Lady Gaga at least have some interesting makeup on her newest single cover. Not that we expected anything less.
The singer tweeted a picture of the cover for her new single, 'Born This Way.' The song, set to be released on Friday, is an anthem for minorities and victims of discrimination -- Gaga has become an outspoken gay rights advocate.
Lady Gaga tweeted the lyrics to the song in January.

If a 'Jersey Shore' girl is a guidette, does this make this a picture of a guidette-ette?
RadarOnline.com has posted pictures of new 'Jersey Shore' star Deena Nicole as a baby, and really it doesn't get much cuter. Of course, she's all grown up now, partying hard at the beach. She made an instant splash in her show debut, stripping -- albeit accidentally, she says -- for The Situation, and talking about the number of guys she has hooked up with in one night (it's more than one).

Kim Kardashian covers the March Harper's Bazaar, and inside she recreates Elizabeth Taylor's Cleopatra portrayal from the 1963 movie, interviews the screen legend about life and love, and as always talks about her body.
It's the second time Kim has posed for Harper's - last year she went nude and reportedly unretouched for the magazine. She has also posed nude for W magazine.
Here are a few excerpts from the interview; scroll down for photos and read more here.
On her diet:
'I'm on a diet. I need to be. I love to eat - Kit Kats or cookies-and-cream ice cream. I need sugar like five times a day.'
On gaining weight while filming 'Kourtney & Kim Take New York':
'I worked out once. I gained like 10 pounds. All the papers were like, Kim's pregnant! I ate the nuts on the street corner, the hot dogs, the street meat. It was not a joke.'
And a snippet from her interview with Elizabeth Taylor:
KIM KARDASHIAN: You are my idol. But I'm six husbands and some big jewels behind. What should I do?
ELIZABETH TAYLOR: I never planned to acquire a lot of jewels or a lot of husbands. For me, life happened, just as it does for anyone else. I have been supremely lucky in my life in that I have known great love, and of course I am the temporary custodian of some incredible and beautiful things. But I have never felt more alive than when I watched my children delight in something, never more alive than when I have watched a great artist perform, and never richer than when I have scored a big check to fight AIDS. Follow your passion, follow your heart, and the things you need will come.

Miley Cyrus had a rough 2010 -- between her bong controversy, parents' divorce and make out tapes, it was enough to drive most other 18-year olds crazy. But as she told Marie Claire magazine, those normal teens aren't Miley Cyrus.
In a new interview with Marie Claire, the Disney teen queen talks about mistakes and moving forward. Talking about the bong video, Cyrus takes responsibility -- but knows it's part of the growing process.
'What I never wanted was for my fans to ever feel like I betrayed them... to feel like I said I was something, then turned around and was something that I'm not,' she told the magazine (via Celebuzz). 'But I've never, ever claimed to be perfect. I mean, since I've started the show, I've always said, 'I'm gonna make mistakes.' I know this. And I think that that is one of the reasons why people related to me. Why kids related to me.'
The starlet also talks about her family -- parents Tish and Billy Ray are divorcing -- and her wishes for happiness. For much more, click over to Marie Claire.

Julia Roberts has had a fairy tale career, playing the heroine and good girl, but now, she's set to turn that reputation on its head in perhaps the most famous fairy tale of all.
The Oscar winner and 'Eat Pray Love' star has been officially cast as the Evil Queen in a new film adaptation of 'Snow White,' the film's producers, Relativity Media, confirmed on Tuesday.
The story won't be all mirror-mirror and frills and tiny dwarves, however. Relativity said that the movie 'will eschew the traditional story in favor of a more modern tale full of comedy and adventure.'
The casting has long been in the works, as it was reported in December that she was up for the role. Roberts won't be the only Evil Queen hitting theaters soon, either. Charlize Theron was recently cast in the same role in another adaptation, 'Snow White And The Huntsmen,' while Disney is planning their own adaptation.
A truncated version of the press release from Relativity, via The Wrap, follows:
Relativity Media has closed a deal with Oscar®-winner Julia Roberts to play the Queen in its upcoming untitled Snow White feature, based on the Brothers Grimm story, directed by Tarsem Singh (Immortals, The Cell)."Pre-production has begun, and principal photography will start in April. The theatrical release date is set for June 29, 2012.
Relativity's Snow White, a retelling of one of the most beloved fables of all-time, will eschew the traditional story in favor of a more modern tale full of comedy and adventure. After her evil stepmother kills her father and destroys the kingdom, Snow White bands together with a gang of seven quarrelsome dwarfs to reclaim what is rightly hers. The script was written by Melissa Wallack (Meet Bill) and Jason Keller (Machine Gun Preacher).
The film's producers are Ryan Kavanaugh (The Fighter), Bernie Goldmann (300) and Brett Ratner (Rush Hour franchise). The executive producers are Tucker Tooley (The Fighter), Jeff Waxman (Immortals), Tommy Turtle (Immortals), Jamie Marshall (Immortals), Josh Pate (Friday Night Lights) and John Cheng (Horrible Bosses).
Relativity's CEO Ryan Kavanaugh commented, 'Julia was our first and only choice to play the Queen. She is an icon, and we know that she will make this role her own in a way that no one else could.'
Lady Gaga: daddy's little girl? You betcha.
The uber-talented, controversial singer, known for her onstage blood, cursing and near nudity, gives a long interview with Vogue Magazine, taking them on the road during the tail end of her three year tour. It seemed she was eager to get back home to New York, and the family she's still very close with.
Gaga opened up about her relationship with her parents, Joe and Cynthia Germanotta, who live on the Upper West Side of New York City. Before her dad had a heart attack, he was very involved in her career, which began in the piano bars of New York City. Even when she's on the road, she makes sure to speak with them often.
'I obsess about his health,' she said about her father. 'I'm very Italian. I call him every day. I ask my mother if he's been smoking. They are in their 50s, and they still live in the same apartment on the Upper West Side. Nothing has changed since I have become a star. I am a real family girl. When it comes to love and loyalty, I am very old-fashioned. And I am quite down-to-earth for such an eccentric person.'
She might also ask a few questions about business; the singer and her parents are investors in an Italian restaurant in the city called Vince & Eddie's.
Talking with CBS' Anderson Cooper in a '60 Minutes' interview set to air on Sunday, the Grammy-winner said that her parents still call her Stefani. So do a few other people -- those in her bedroom. 'That would freak me out,' she says about being called Lady Gaga during intimate times.
Lady Gaga is set to perform at Sunday's Grammy Awards. Her new single, Born This Way, is to be released on Friday. Here's a photo of its cover.

Heidi Montag is singing a sad song over her singing career.
The reality star famous for her disastrous plastic surgeries and on-and-off relationship with Spencer Pratt, tried to make a go of it in the music world, releasing an album called 'Superficial,' to less than enthusiastic reviews. Turns out, it was less than lucrative, too.
Montag told RadarOnline that music was a financial disaster for her. 'I spent $2 million on my music career, and it didn't happen for me, and now I have this opportunity,' she told the website.
The opportunity? Pratt has secured for her the services of rapper Waka Flocka and his mother, manager Deb Antney, who will help revive her career. Or, start it. What is she aiming for?
'I want to make my own niche in the music world, that's just Heidi. It could be a Pink meets Britney Spears.'
Perhaps they can help her do just that -- they've worked with Nikki Minaj and Gucci Mane, among others.
Between 2007 and 2008, Montag and Pratt allegedly made over $3 million. More recently, Montag's family has been less fortunate with money, with her brother on public assistance for school lunch.

Nothing has quite hung so deep in the narcissus pool of social media like Gaga's 'Born this Way' -- it's a song built within the kingdom walls of Twitter and blogs, endlessly teased by the queen herself (along with her prime jester, Perez Hilton). First the words leaked, line by line. Then the full lyrics. The promise that this song will be the greatest of her career; the album, the greatest of the decade. That Born this Way will move 30 million units.
The problem? 'Born this Way' was born before it even arrived. Music is its best when the songs can speak for themselves -- until Gaga, that was kind of the point of it. Lyrics are words for a reason, they tell a story, the beats and instrumentals setting the stage for their own rhythmic tale. 'Born this Way' was entered into our lives by the Twitter mistress herself, Lady Gaga, before we'd even had a chance to hear it. We'd read its story, either poked fun at the lyrics or lauded them, imagined what it would sound like, hummed it to our own tune. And then, we waited.
Aside from whatever you think of the song - more on that in a moment - 'Born this Way' was instantly less than a song the moment it hit. It was a reveal, an M. Night movie spin, or the end of LOST. Granted, boasting about singles is nothing new. But (willingly) letting Twitter and the Internet vortex shape your song into a machine is not 'giving' to your fans -- it's ruining the mystique. No matter what it sounded like, for everyone but diehard 'little monsters,' it wasn't going to be enough.
But more importantly, when the song doesn't work (it doesn't, in my opinion), there's nothing you can do to stop the chatter. This morning, #Express Yourself is trending almost as high on Twitter as 'BornThisWay or any of its hashtaggy permutations. The Web world has taken the reins on a song they already felt they owned, and for Gaga, there's nothing to be done. She gave the song over to the world, and the world will respond back. From one trending topic to another, the song -- while sure to be a success anyway -- is just a product, a thing to be attacked, commented on and talked about. But what about listened to? Well, that's just lower down on the list. Whether or not you think it sounds like Madonna, or TLC, or you actually love it, if your comment about it has a high retweet value on Twitter -- well, that's the stuff of gods right now.. .
Is it Gaga's fault, or just the natural course for music in a world with instant feedback? In a way, it was an experiment. Testing how deep into the waters of social media a singer can go without destroying their own creation before it even hits the radio. Gaga looked into the reflecting pool and saw nothing but herself -- but unlike Narcissus, maybe what she didn't realize is that the pool was full of sharks.
Jennifer Aniston (Katherine) just goes with it. She holds a mediocre script together as does
Brooklyn Decker (Palmer) who is more than window dressing. But the humor in Just Go With It is flat and tiresome, with lines like 'frenamie', 'eurotrashani' and rampant scatological jokes. In one scene a child 'craps on the arm of an Austrian sheep dealer' -- Sandler's writing tries hard, too hard.
And what is Oscar winner Nicole Kidman (Devlin) doing playing such a vacuous role in this struggling-for-the-jokes romantic comedy? Aniston holds her acting ability high and plays like a world cup champion off of Sandler's volleys. But one expects more from Sandler (Danny). When Sandler is bad he is awful, but he is not awful in this film, he is flat. Surrounded by Aniston and Decker, Sandler shines as much as he can with this god awful writing and bad acting in supporting roles. Nick Swardson (Eddie) as the Austrian internet sheep dealer is pure schtick and one child fakes a cockney accent that grates on any desire to see the rest of the film -- a schtick ridden package. This is as much a reflection of the bad writing as the bad acting by a junior miss, Bailee Madison (Maggie) who is trying to play cute rather than be cute. Aniston makes what works in the film work because she is unfazed by Decker's beauty and unfazed by the poor acting around her, unfazed by the forced humor in the writing but manages to make her moments real -- which is why Danny, (Sandler) truly loves her and so does the audience.
The plot involves Danny who was born with a nose like an olive, fixes it and tries to fix his life by lying to women just to get laid... and 'get laid' is the appropriate terminology, as he is the quintessential chauvinist pig. Katherine is plastic surgeon Danny's medical assistant. She has two children from a previous marriage and Danny is pressured by them and Palmer to take them all to Hawaii. Danny deceives Palmer by pretending Katherine's children are his and that Katherine is his soon to be ex-wife. Palmer will agree to have sex only with a divorced Danny. To use the words 'make love' would not be in Danny's lexicon until the end of the film when he 'grows up.'
Reasons to see the film include seeing Brooklyn Decker walking out of the water in a yellow bikini in a shot reminiscent of Bo Derek in Ten, and Jennifer Aniston's beauty and ability to make real her moments in a fake romantic comedy. She genuinely smiles her way through this dreck and with her sincerity can convince some theatre go-ers that they've actually enjoyed the film.
Are you feeling a little clueless about how to choose the right Valentine's Day Gift?
I am a Professional Matchmaker and here's what I know:
-- Keep in mind that if you are dating someone, you need to acknowledge Valentine's Day in some way. If you try to pull the ol', 'Valentine's Day is just a Hallmark holiday and I don't believe in it,' you will just end up in the doghouse. Trust me.
-- Valentine's Day can be a tricky holiday because you want to do enough so that you get brownie points for effort but you don't want to do too much or go over the top because that could scare someone off or give the wrong message. Doing enough means doing something, anything, even if it's stopping at the Gristedes Supermarket on the way home and picking up candy and flowers. Doing too much means putting on the full court press for someone you barely know with flowery love cards, and dinner at the most romantic restaurant in the city like Aureole.
-- You need to give gifts and cards that are commensurate with the level of your relationship. This means that if you have only been out a few times, you need to pick a Shoebox Greeting card that is more playful, sarcastic and funny rather than mushy gushy. In this instance, mushy gushy will make things awkward and give off the wrong message. Just the same, if you have been dating a long time, you can't get away with a funny card or an impersonal card and you can't get away with just signing your name. If you have been together for awhile, your beau is going to expect a sentimental card, a Hallmark card that has script font and with a handwritten message in it from you.
-- Keep in mind that women always compare their Valentine's Day gifts, cards and experiences with their friends and colleagues. The women always do a play by play for each other, so you need to step up. You definitely don't want your gal to be the gal by the water cooler who has nothing to brag about. You need to give her something to cluck over. And the water cooler winners are not always the ones who get the most expensive gift or were taken to the fanciest dinner. The admired woman by the water cooler is always the one who tells the most romantic story about her Valentine's Day evening that is met with the most 'Ohhhhhs and Ahhhhs' about how sweet and adorable you were. Can you be that guy?
-- Lingerie is a risky gift. A lot of men want to give lingerie to their ladies. First of all, they like seeing their gal in it and secondly, they think this is a good way to signal to their gal that they think she is sexy. However, if you are thinking of buying lingerie, make sure you are at the 'lingerie' stage of your dating or the girl might get offended and think it is an inappropriate sexual overture. Equally, make sure that you pick tasteful lingerie- if you pick out a raunchy teddy straight from the pages of Hustler, your girl might think you don't respect her. You can only go with sleazy lingerie if sleazy and edgy is part of your sexual repertoire with your gal; don't use Valentine's Day to change things up.
-- Make sure to choose a gift that your beau would like, not just something that you would like. For example, don't get her tickets to a Knicks basketball game rationalizing that it's a night out for the two of you and at least you get to see some basketball. Instead you should get her tickets to a Broadway show like La Cage aux Folles that SHE would enjoy and you should go along with a big smile on your face. And girls, don't get him a manicure and pedicure for Valentine's Day because you think he has disgusting feet and you think of it as a 'pampering day'; men don't find pampering to be enjoyable. Instead, buy him a day at Skip Barber race track and save the hygiene intervention for another day.
-- Make sure you choose a gift that has something romantic and thoughtful about it and isn't just practical. Don't buy her a new blow-dryer because you know she needs one or a gift certificate to ger her hair colored. Take the time to pick out a gift she would like and wouldn't buy herself. Or think about keeping her company while she is at the beauty salon; she will find this to be romantic.
- If you can't spend a lot of money, go with a creative and sentimental gift. Some good ideas are things like a handmade gift certificate redeemable for one back massage or a gift certificate redeemable for 5 'non- veto-able' movie choices. Or sprinkle rose pedals and Hershey kisses all over the bedroom and have a bubble bath drawn in a candle lit bathroom. Or make a mix CD of all of your honey's favorite songs but remember it's about his or her favorites, not yours! Gifts don't have to be expensive to be romantic.
-- If you are dating more than one person at the same time, you need to make sure that you think of all of them on Valentine's Day. It's okay to choose your favorite for the Valentine's Day evening but if you forget about the others, they probably won't be sticking around thereafter. Plus, if you don't see one of your gals on Valentine's Day proper, you need to have a good excuse or she will be suspicious and that will get you into trouble as well.
-- If a 'where is this relationship going' conversation starts brewing during your romantic evening (and many times they do), the best way to handle it is too focus on the romantic evening you planned and calmly suggest you save that conversation for another time.
- If you got a gift for your gal and you can tell that she didn't like it or you chose poorly, don't get defensive, just be humble and say that you are not very good at choosing gifts and you would love for her to come with you next time and help you pick,so you can get her something you really loves. The fact that you would say something like this to her will make her feel good and will compensate for the fact that your gift was not what she was expecting.

Last week, we heard that the 300 crew members on the set of CBS’ smash comedy Two and a Half Men were concerned about losing pay after Charlie Sheen’s latest shenanigans halted production.
Well, it looks like Charlie’s stepped up to the plate with a remedy for the money woes. According to TMZ, Charlie’s upset that Warner Bros. and show creator Chuck Lorre haven’t offered to pay the crew while he battles cocaine and alcohol addiction in “home rehab.” He says he will pay one-third of the crew’s salaries for the two weeks the show has been out of production… if the network and Warner Bros. agree to pay the rest.
This news will undoubtedly do wonders for Sheen’s still-glowing public image. Though his behavior caused a temporary shutdown on his TV comedy, many fans think even more highly of him now than before, according to a Penn Schoen survey released by The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday.
According to the poll of 700 Americans between the ages of 13 to 59-years-old, 90 percent of those describing themselves as “avid fans” of Charlie’s work don’t think Sheen’s drug and alcohol problems matter as long as he does a good job on the show. Additionally, 26 percent of those questioned view Sheen “much more” or “somewhat more” favorably after his recent antics. And get this, only 28 percent of men and 42 percent of women think CBS should fire Charlie.
Sheen is doing well and will be back on set in a few weeks time the actor’s lawyer, Yale Galanter, said Monday.

“I don’t like to focus so much on the future. Right now I just want to love what I’m doing, and that’s making music and making people smile. I hope I get to do that for a long time to come….” Justin Bieber
The Hollywood Reporter has been diagnosed with a bad case of Bieber Fever!
On the eve of the release of his 3D concert film, Never Say Never, mega teen star Justin Bieber accompanies mentors Usher and Antonio “L.A.” Reid, chairman and CEO of Island Def Jam Music Group — the label that signed him in Oct. 2008 (when no one else would), on the new issue of the trade mag.
“…The piece explores the roots of Bieber Fever, and his team’s near-perfect synergy of social networking prowess, pop instinct, undeniable talent and old fashioned grassroots campaigning. Bieber has sold more than 10 million albums worldwide, has two Grammy nominations, including the much-coveted Best New Artist award, is a merchandising phenomenon and now likely is a movie star as well.”

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz are divorcing after 2 1/2 years of marriage, a spokesperson for the couple confirmed on Wednesday.
“After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to file for divorce,” the former couple said in a joint statement. “We remain friends and deeply committed and loving parents to our son Bronx, whose happiness and well-being remains our number one priority. We ask that everyone honor our privacy as we navigate this next phase of our lives.”
As her lovelorn older sister prepares for a summer wedding, Ashlee filed the papers in Los Angeles Superior Court this morning, citing the ever-popular “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the breakdown of her short marriage. In the divorce filing, Ashlee is seeking primary physical custody and joint legal custody of the couple’s only child, son Bronx Mowgli Wentz, age 2. The 26-year-old “Pieces of Me” singer is also requesting the court grant her spousal and child support from Pete, 31. She wants her name be restored to Ashlee Nicole Simpson and is seeking to terminate Pete’s ability to receive spousal support.
The Wentzes began dating in 2006 and were wed by Ashlee’s minister dad in May 2008.

Kim Kardashian channels Elizabeth Taylor in a photoshoot with the March issue of Harper’s Bazaar Magazine. 
Kardashian graces the mag’s new cover and is featured in a photoshoot paying homage to Taylor’s iconic portrayal of Cleopatra in the 1963 film. Kim says the pics are from “one of my favorite shoots I’ve ever done,” shot by fashion photographer Terry Richardson.
The reality star/socialite also got the honor of interviewing Ms. Taylor for the story, chatting with her idol about glamour, giving back, and how to live like a legend.
“Elizabeth Taylor is one of my all-time favorite Hollywood style icons. She epitomizes Hollywood glamour and beauty and to have the opportunity to interview her for this article was such an honor!” Kim wrote in a message on her blog Wednesday.
“You are my idol. But I’m six husbands and some big jewels behind. What should I do?” she asked during her chat with Taylor.
“I never planned to acquire a lot of jewels or a lot of husbands,” says Taylor, who turns 79 on Feb. 27. “For me, life happened, just as it does for anyone else. I have been supremely lucky in my life in that I have known great love, and of course I am the temporary custodian of some incredible and beautiful things.

Miley Cyrus has something to say about Bong-Gate 2010. In an interview with Marie Claire’s March 2011 issue, the teen star speaks for the first time about that explosive footage of her getting high that made a splash when it surfaced online last November.
“I’m not perfect … I made a mistake … I’m disappointed in myself for disappointing my fans,” the former Hannah Montana actress tells the mag of the viral video, in which she was snapped smoking the legal herb salvia with a gaggle of giggling friends.
Cyrus, 18, notes that for the first time, she’s realized that many of the rules and exceptions applied to other teens are not applicable to her.
“They’re not Miley Cyrus. They’re not role models. So for me it was a bad decision, because of my fans and because of what I stand for,” she added.
Last October, Miley’s parents — Tish and Billy Ray Cyrus — split after 17 years of marriage and five kids; including sisters Brandi, 23, and Noah, 10, and brothers Braison, 16, and 21-year-old Trace. The Last Song star admits the bust-up has been tough to cope with.
“Of course anyone is going to be upset when there are troubles in their family. But I have a lot of hope in our family and no matter what happens, we’re gonna stay strong.”
In order to deal with her parents’ split, Miley threw herself into work and was delighted to forge a close bond with her LOL co-star Demi Moore.
“It really felt like Demi was my mom a little bit because we had such great conversations, and I feel like it shows on-screen. I can’t wait for ‘LOL’ to come out. It’s what I’m most proud of.”
LOL, a coming-of-age remake of a French film which follows the story of an out-of-control teen girl who falls in love with her boyfriend’s best friend, opens in theaters April 22.

You’ve heard of the “Shirley Temple,” but frequent visitors of West Hollywood’s Tiki-Ti Tropical Drink Bar say you don’t know jack about delectable until you’ve treated your taste buds to a “Selena Gomez!”
The 12-stool, quaint island-inspired bar have thrilled revellers after adding a sweet-tasting alcoholic beverage named in honor of the Wizards of Waverly Place actress to its Friday night drink menu. The Selena Gee Funky, described as a cinnamon-flavored drink “made with Bacardi 151, lime, and dark Jamaican Rum,” has been flying off the bar ever since it was introduced by Tiki-Ti mixologists last month.
Selena’s signature drink is now one of 86 of his exotic specialties available at drink bar.

We know she’s got the vocal prowess of a broken toaster and a wet noodle, but is Ashlee Simpson really just “too stupid to keep up” with her soon-to-be ex-husband Pete Wentz? That’s the interesting explanation one Fall Out Boy mole is offering for the shocking bust-up of Pete and Ashlee’s 2 1/2 year marriage.
The Gossip Wire went into overdrive Wednesday following the announcement that Simpson had filed for divorce from the rock bassist, citing the ever-popular “irreconcilable differences.” The couple married in May 2008 and have a (bizarrely named) son, Bronx Mowgli, together.
It didn’t take long for speculation to begin about the reason behind the split.
“They also are on different planes,” a source-type with ties to the couple told The Chicago Sun-Times this week. “To be blunt, Pete is a helluva lot smarter than Ashlee. … After a while I think she realized she just couldn’t keep up with him in a lot of areas.”
Burn!
Ashlee’s seeking primary physical custody of the two-year-old, with shared legal custody. She’s also asking for spousal and child support. Apparently, the couple had no prenup (which kinda proves the whole “Ashlee Is An Idiot” argument…)

Britney Spears did it. Even Gwyneth Paltrow’s did it. Making a guest appearance on hit musical TV show Glee can get a celebrity’s name trending on Twitter faster than a collar for DUI. So who’s the next big name star courting 15 minutes of primetime fame?
How does the name Chace Crawford sound to you?
The Gossip Girl hunk reportedly met with series Matthew Morrison, who plays Mr Schuster on the show, to discuss the possibility of appearing in an upcoming episode, Buzz Magazine said last week.
“Chace is a huge fan of Glee and would love to perform in the next series with the rest of the cast,” an unnamed source told the glossy.
When quizzed on the report at the Audi Forum in Dallas this week, Morrison stopped short of confirming whether or not an actual deal had been reached, but noted that Chace definitely has the talent to razzle dazzle us with a Gleetastic guest spot.
“I think Chace could definitely do Glee. He’s one of my good buddies so I’d love him to be on the show,” Matthew told E! “It’d be awesome! And I’d love to be on Gossip Girl.”

It pays to have partners in high places, Lady Gaga’s bartender beau — Luc Carl — has landed a book deal based on his blog, The Drunk Diet.
The manual will be “a real shot of hope for all those sad, pudgy little rock stars out there looking to change their lives,” according to St. Martins Press, who will publish the book later this year. Once 40 pounds overweight thanks to his “Whiskey and 5 AM Cheeseburgers” Lifestyle, the manager of Lower East Side rock bar St. Jerome now sports a lanky frame with arms like a bodybuilder.

Jude Law is being comforted by his ex-wife Sadie Frost in the wake of his split from Sienna Miller.
The ‘Sherlock Holmes’ actor – who has three children, Rafferty, 14, Iris, 10 and Rudy, eight, with his former spouse – announced his second break-up from Sienna this week and he has turned to Sadie and his kids for emotional support.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Jude and Sienna remain on good terms. There’s no hard feelings on either side.
“But since making their split official, Jude has been spending more time with his family, including Sadie.
“When Jude and Sienna were together that wasn’t so easy. Relations weren’t always fantastic between the two women.”
Sienna is getting over the separation by hanging out with actor Joe Armstrong, her co-star in upcoming West End play ‘Flare Path’.
The source revealed: “Sienna is still young and, in time, wants to get back out on the dating scene.
“For now, she’s burying her head in work. Her colleagues have been brilliant. She gets on really well with Joe in particular and they’ve been hanging out a bit outside of the theatre.”
Jude, 38, and 29-year-old Sienna – who reunited after three years apart in October 2009 – have vowed to remain friends despite their break-up, which is believed to have taken place a few weeks ago.
A source said: “It is mutual and amicable and they are still friends. It was an entirely an end-of-the relationship decision. It had run its course.”

Keira Knightley has spent more than $3.2 million on a house.
The 25-year-old actress’s new 18th Century property – located in east London in the UK – is said to boast some amazing features, such as a cinema room, dressing room, library and music parlour.
The splurge comes shortly after the ‘Never Let Me Go’ star split from her long-term boyfriend Rupert Friend, whom she dated for five years.
To get over the break-up she was seen on a night out with her actress pal Sienna Miller last month, eating at Soho restaurant Bocca Di Lupo before hitting the Lucky Voice karaoke bar for some fun in London’s Soho area.
And Sienna may be paying a visit to Keira’s new pad for a girls’ night in after experiencing some man trouble of her own – as she announced she had split from her fiance, actor Jude Law, this week.
The couple have decided to call time on their relationship for a second time – 15 months after they reunited following their first split in November 2006.
A friend of the pair said: “It is mutual and amicable and they are still friends.
“It was an entirely an end-of-the relationship decision. It had run its course.”

David Beckham came to the aid of a stranded British motorist yesterday (09.02.11).
The soccer player stopped in the rain to help Paul Long and his two children when he spotted him trying to move his car off a busy main in Ware, Hertfordshire, South East England, after it broke down while Paul was on the school run.
Mr. Long told UK station BBC Radio 5 Live: “The car packed up as we approached a roundabout over the A10. After 10 minutes a car pulled over and a figure got out wearing a hoodie. As he got nearer it sort of slipped down and it became apparent it was David Beckham.
“He asked if we were OK and I said, ‘Could you give us a push to the side?’ which he did. Then he asked once again if we were OK and as he walked away, I said, ‘Thanks David, I really love you.’
“I could only see his car in the distance, it looked like an Audi but I could not be sure of that. It wasn’t flash.”
Soccer fan Mr. Long admitted he was surprised the 35-year-old superstar sportsman – whose house is situated neat the A10 – would take the time to help out a stranger.
He said: “I have always admired him but I’m his biggest fan now, although I feel a bit stupid that I told him I loved him.
“He’s a genuinely top guy especially as he braved the rain to do what he did.”
David – who recently announced he and his wife Victoria are expecting their fourth child together – is currently training with English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspurs during the Major League Soccer league off-season but will return to his regular team Los Angeles Galaxy on February 24.

Eva Longoria is having a “hard” time following the end of her marriage to basketball player Tony Parker.
The ‘Desperate Housewives’ star’s divorce was finalized in late January, after just over three years of marriage, and she admits she is struggling to adjust to life as a single woman again and is praying to God for help to get through this difficult patch.

The 35-year-old actress revealed in another tweet: “Shooting my 2nd perfume campaign with @randallsslavin, the most amazing photographer! It will be out in September! Stay tuned! (sic)”

Halle Berry is to make a guest appearance in ‘The Simpsons’.
The actress has provided her voice for an Oscar-themed episode of the animated show, in which a cartoon version of herself will wear the famous red dress she donned to accept her Academy Award in 2002.
In the story, entitled ‘Angry Dad: The Movie’, Bart Simpson’s cartoon about an aggressive father is turned into a film and wins huge critical acclaim.
The movie wins a Golden Globe, presented by Russell Brand (voiced by himself), but Bart’s dad Homer races up to the podium ahead of his son and gives his own acceptance speech.
The movie’s winning streak continues and Homer takes credit at each ceremony so when it’s nominated for an Oscar, Bart keeps it quiet from his family.
But Homer and wife Marge arrive at the ceremony just as Halle is presenting the statuette to Bart and after his fellow nominee Nick Park helps him realize that filmmaking is team effort, Bart gives his father some credit.
Speaking about Halle’s cameo, screenwriter Al Jean told TV Guide magazine: “Halle starts talking about herself as she’s presenting. She ad-libbed something she actually dreams about at night that we left in.
“We always ask the subject to give us a photo they’d like us to work off, and then we give the character an overbite. It’s hard to make Halle Berry look bad.”
The episode airs on February 20.

Today Gaga is covering the March issue of Vogue, and although we already knew about the cover as Lady Gaga leaked it herself.. This is one of the prettiest spreads we have ever seen of Lady Gaga, and perhaps one of the most colorful spreads we have seen in Vogue in recent years as well. So many colors, so vibrant, so 2012.
Lady Gaga, The Lady of Pop. How appropriate—how accurate!—her name is. It is more of a title, really, one she bestowed upon herself mere moments before she became so insanely famous. The Gaga half makes immediate, intuitive sense, an utterance that sounds like an infant’s first word but is, in fact, French and means, essentially, to be utterly enthralled by something—excited to the point of being touched by madness. (That it describes both the pop star and her uniquely obsessed fans makes it even more perfect.) But it is the Lady part of her name that has gone underexplored.
During the interview with Vogue, Jonathan Van Meter says
Gaga stumbled up to me to say hello and then introduced me to the guy she was hanging all over: a tall, boyishly cute heavy metal–looking dude with a mullet, wearing a sleeveless black leather vest. “This is Luc,” she said proudly. “He’s my boyfriend.” He looked down at her for a moment, and a knowing grin crossed his face. “OK, Bette Midler,” he said. Moments later I was ushered out of the room by Wendi Morris, Gaga’s road manager—in an effort, it seemed to me, to protect Gaga from herself. As I was walking through the curtains I looked back, and Gaga was in Luc’s lap. “Jonathan, wait,” she whined like a teenage girl in need of attention. “Don’t you want to stay and ask me some questions?” Obvious to everyone but herself: not the time for an interview.
“In the overarching objective of my life, I am really only at mile two,” says the pop star.
You can read the rest of the interview at Vogue.com, or pick up the March issue, it’s worth it.
In the Vogue Gallery, Gaga can be seen wearing luxury clothing from Alexander McQueen gold embroidered tulle dress and Tom Binns Design necklace to Alexander McQueen slash-shoulder tailcoat, bib bodysuit, and embroidered trousers. De Grisogono ring. Louis Vuitton silk blouse and pants. Hussein Chalayan black leather jacket and more Alexander McQueen as well as Haider Ackerman.

Ed Westwick drunkenly “skied” to a bar while working on his new movie.
The actor and his ‘Chalet Girl’ co-stars were left bemused as to how to move to another drinking establishment in St. Anton – the Austrian ski resort where the film was shot – but came up with a novel way on how to tackle the slopes.
Tamsin Eggerton, who also appears in the movie, explained: “We went to the Krazy Kangaroo bar and we had a few Jaegermeisters too many and we didn’t know how to get down the slope to the next bar. So Ed just got on his back and ‘skied’ all the way down and everyone was like, ‘Ooh!’ and then the other guys said, ‘That’s really cool, I want to do that.’
“I just turned to the other girls and said, ‘I don’t think this is a good idea’ and then just slipped and fell. They were like ‘Oh no!’, but then they had to do it too so we all just kind of piled out, fell on top of each other at the end and then went back into the bar. We just brushed ourselves off and went back into the bar. It was very odd.”
Tamsin was relieved to escape serious injury following her drunken escapade, and is certain the film’s bosses would not be happy if they knew what had happened.
Speaking on the red carpet at the world premiere of the movie at London’s Vue Westfield this evening (08.02.11), she told BANG Showbiz: “No serious injuries, thank God. I had a friend who did that and really shattered her shoulder. I don’t think the insurance would cover that.”
Joining Tamsin on the red carpet at the premiere were co-stars Ed, Bill Nighy and Felicity Jones.
‘Chalet Girl’ – which also stars Sophia Bush – opens in the UK on March 15.

Jude Law and Sienna have split up.
The couple have called time on their relationship for a second time, 15 months after they reunited, the 38-year-old actor’s representative has confirmed.
The spokesperson told People: “I can confirm that Jude Law and Sienna Miller are no longer in a relationship.”
Jude – who reunited with the ‘Factory Girl’ star in October 2009 following a three-year split – and Sienna, 29, are said to have split up several weeks ago but have vowed to remain friends.
One pal said: “It is mutual and amicable and they are still friends.
“It was an entirely an end-of-the relationship decision. It had run its course.”
In August, it was reported that Jude and Sienna celebrated their love in a marriage blessing ceremony in Southeast Asia.
Prince Nithakong Somanith – cultural and artistic adviser to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation – met with the couple during their holiday and told them all about the ceremony, which is not legally binding, before sending them into the hills to meet the shaman.
He explained at the time: “The Baci ceremony is performed everywhere and was also performed at the Royal Court.
“It usually takes place on the morning of the wedding and is followed by the wedding blessing by monks and feasting and drinking beer and rice alcohol in the evening. Jude Law and Sienna Miller will already be man and wife in people’s eyes here.”
Jude – who has five children from previous relationships – split with Sienna for the first time in November 2006, almost two years after they got engaged, after he had cheated on the actress with his kids’ nanny.

Lindsay Lohan‘s legal troubles never seem to end, but somehow, she always manages to slip away with minimal consequences. However, things may be different this time, as Lindsay Lohan is due to be charged with felony grand theft on Wednesday for allegedly stealing a $2,500 necklace.
Lohan is due to be arraigned at 1:30 p.m. the Los Angeles International Airport Superior Court. According to reports, Lohan walked out of a Venice, California jewelry store with the necklace on January 22, indicating that any New Years resolution regarding staying out of trouble didn’t last too long.
The felony grand theft charge suggests that Lohan’s days of dodging responsibility may be over. Of course, it’s not a sure thing, and Lohan would have to be convicted first. As has been the case in the past, legal wrangling may alter the potential consequences for Lohan.
Do you think Lindsay Lohan will finally face the music this time? Let us know in the comments.

Helena Bonham Carter was always clock-watching on the set of ‘The King’s Speech’.
The actress – who has been nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role as the Queen Mother in the movie – was making her co-stars laugh during the shoot because she was constantly looking at her watch as she wanted filming to be over.
Colin Firth – who plays Helena’s on-screen husband, stammering British monarch King George VI – said: “It’s a tribute to Helena’s brilliance that she came across as a supportive wife – most of the time when I was doing an agonized stammering scene and was off camera, she’d be looking at her watch.”
Helena, 44, previously revealed she was pushed into the role by the film’s director Tom Hooper and can never remember saying yes as she was so busy working on other film projects, including ‘Harry Potter’.
She said: “To be honest, I never actually said yes to this part.
“Tom Hooper is such a phenomenon of relentless passion and determination he just wasn’t going to take no for an answer.”

Mila Kunis was bullied at school for her looks.
The stunning ‘Black Swan’ actress hated her big eyes and lips when she was younger after being taunted by her classmates but says she is now happy she has finally grown into her strong features.
She said: “I was always the smallest in my class. I’ve learned it wasn’t a bad thing to be picked on because when you’re little it seems awful like it’s the end of the world.
“I grew into my face. I had a very funny looking face when I was little. I had like big eyes, big lips, big ears. But when I was little I was constantly being made fun of for having big eyes and that was awful. I used to come home crying: ‘Why do I have big eyes?’ And my parents were like: ‘You’re crazy!’ ”
However being bullied at school has not put Mila off education forever and the 27-year-old beauty is now planning to follow in her ‘Black Swan’ co-star Natalie Portman‘s footsteps and attend university.
She told Britain’s OK! magazine: “I will go to university one day. I wanted to, it’s just I chose a career from an early age. Who’s to say I made the right decision? I don’t know. Time will tell.”

Sir Elton John and David Furnish constantly wear cloths over their shoulders to protect their clothes from baby vomit.
The couple welcomed their son Zachary into the world on Christmas Day last year (25.12.10), and the 48-year-old filmmaker revealed he and Elton have taken to sporting the unusual fashion accessory as they adjust to being first time fathers.
He said: “We have muslins over our shoulders in case the baby spews up on us.”
Elton, 63, recently revealed he and David found it quite easy to adapt to the rigors of parenthood thanks to the fact he has so many godchildren – including Elizabeth Hurley’s eight-year-old son Damian – and his husband has a large group of nieces and nephews.
He explained: “I have a lot of godchildren. It’s not as if children aren’t in my life at all. They’ve been very prevalent in my life, over the last few years. David has lots of nieces and nephews. I’m a great lover of children.
“I never thought that one day I’d actually be a father, but I’m very pleased that I changed my mind. Children are extremely important. They are the future of the world. As long as David and I bring our son up to be a loving and compassionate boy, then I’ll be very happy. I love kids.”
