Kristen Bell: 'I'm Probably Never Going To Date Again'

Heroes star Kristen Bell fears she'll never find another man because the dating game makes her want to "vomit." The sexy blonde has recently ended a five-year romance and now she worries it will be some time before she gets involved again.

This contradicts reports Bell is currently dating Kate Hudson's ex Dax Shepard.

She says, "I'm probably never going to date again. I don't want anyone to talk about it because I'm way too nervous, and it's weird to know other people watch you do it (date). I might never leave the house again."
But anyone in with a shot of dating Bell, must be funny and nice to waiters.

The actress tells Complex magazine, "If someone can make me laugh, you're in like Flynn. I like to laugh; that's the number one for me. Also... if you're not nice to the waiter (on a date), you're out. And you're not just out, I might kick your ass."

Heidi Range's cleaning obsession

Sugababes singer Heidi Range is obsessed with cleaning.

The blonde beauty has revealed her fixation with cleanliness borders on OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and often interferes with her life.

She said: "I'm obsessed. I've even been known to take a cup that still has drink in it and put it in the dishwasher to clean."
Heidi - who replaced the band's original member Siobhan Donaghy in 2001 - recently revealed she found bandmate Amelle Berrabah's nightclub brawl "hilarious".

She said: "I was in shock! We were going to Atlanta to record the next day, and me and Keisha turned up at the airport, full of the joys of spring. We got out of the car, saw Amelle, and I'm like, 'Oh, Amelle, here is your birthday present!' and she was like, 'I've just come from a cell.' It was hilarious."

Amelle claimed she and her sister Laila had been attacked for no reason by a group of girls in the Surrey nightclub. She was arrested for her part in the April fracas, but all charges were later dropped.

Hannah Montana Contest Winner a Fake

A 6-year-old girl won four tickets to a Hannah Montana concert in New York with an essay that claimed her "daddy died this year in Iraq." Heartbreaking? Yes. True? No.

Priscilla Ceballos, the mother of the young girl, had told the company sponsoring the contest that the girl's father died April 17 in a roadside bombing in Iraq. When the spokesman asked the girl's mom if the story was true, the mother said no. God bless America.

"We never said this was a true story," Ceballos told FOX 4 in Dallas. "We do essays all the time. My daughter does essays at school all the time. It never did say it had to be true, but [the contest organizer] said, 'That's what we expected.'" Duh!

Club Libby Lu, the company behind the contest, has not yet made a decision as to whether the girl will get to keep the tickets.

Kidman, Urban Reportedly Expecting

Having weathered a tough first year of marriage, Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban are allegedly expecting their first child together.

The celebrity pair, who wed June 25, 2006, broke the news to their families over the Christmas holiday, according to the Daily Mail.
In the days leading up to their wedding it was reported that the couple had signed a prenuptial agreement that stipulated that Kidman would pay Urban $600,000 for each year of the marriage. But it would also allowed her to walk away without paying anything if Urban -- a former cocaine addict -- were to start using narcotics or drinking excessively.

Sadly, Urban did in fact suffer a relapse and just four months into their marriage he checked himself into rehab on Oct. 20, where he stayed for nearly three months. Nonetheless, Kidman stayed with him.

Kidman's relationship with her two adopted children from her marriage to Tom Cruise , Isabella, 14, and Connor, 12, has been tabloid fodder of late. In November it was widely reported that she told the British talk show ' GMTV ,' "My kids don't call me 'Mommy,' they don't even call me 'Mom.' They call me 'Nicole.'" In fact, she told the interviewer , "They don't call me 'Mummy,' they call me 'Mum' or sometimes 'Nicole.'"

Making matters worse was a December interview in Parade magazine in which Katie Holmes , Cruise's current wife, revealed that Isabella and Connor "call me 'Mom.'

OH, BABY! EVERYONE WANTS IT

EVA Longoria's desperate to make ba bies almost even more than she wants to keep making "Desperate Housewives." She also wants to make movies. But for now, babies. Everybody's into babies. Jennifer's having babies, Halle's having a baby, Aguilera's having a baby, Jessica Alba's having a baby, Nicole Richie's having a baby, keen tween Jamie Lynn's having a baby. So who's next to have a baby? Ellen DeGeneres. Clearly this future Mother of the Year has had it up to here with dogs. Also cats, neighbors, Anne Heche and animal adoption agencies. So, what's left? However, Ellen says she isn't up to carrying it. Her partner Portia de Rossi is talking about adopting.

IF you missed that blockbuster of an SRO Oscar winner "Sex and Zen," something named Shu Qi was its star and, in clothes, she's now around London eateries with Hugh Grant. Someone told me they were seen kissing but I don't know for sure. I wasn't there my very own personal self. . . . Reese Witherspoon's little son wants to grow up to be a pizza delivery boy, her little daughter a scientist. A sighing Reese sighs: "But their career ideas change every day." . . . Sienna Miller's 2008 challenge is her closet. She's been sent too many clothes, too many Chanels, she doesn't even open half the boxes. Besides that tragedy, her guy's Rhys Ifans, and his good friend Kate Moss says, "If she breaks his heart, I'll be really mad at her."

MORE. I have more. Anthony Hop kins on ever doing plastic surgery: "Ridiculous." He also says he re cently met an old friend actor and "almost didn't recognize him." . . . Heather Mills McCartney Mills suggested, for their daughter Beatrice's sake, to have Christmas all together en famille. But Paul, whose turn it was to have Bea this holiday, said no. No. A thousand times no. . . . James Blunt sold his London house, took up residence in Switzerland and wants to become a Swiss resident. And don't anybody say anything about anyone having tax reasons.

SO I'm reading about 20th Century Fox's president drumbeating "eido phor, the new large-screen, three-di mensional color television system which will supplant TV." It was a "gift of science" following "12 years of research and experimentation by scientists at the Swiss Institute of Technology." This was in the New York (now defunct) Mirror of 1952. We're talking 55 years ago - and, if you forget this reality stuff, I'd say we've still got some remnant of television still going.

Same 1952's entertainment section advertised a Times Square movie palace starring a Patricia Neal movie plus an all-star stage show - for 50 cents admission. A live Dixieland jazz concert at the Paramount Theater building dared to institute a buck-fifty minimum. Tickets for Broadway musicals like "New Faces" at the W. 45th Royale - $1.20. And, Mel Brooks, take note: An ad for the top musical of the season, "Of Thee I Sing," starring Jack Carson and Paul Hartman, with "music by George Gershwin," had a top price of $3.60.


I looked up 100 years ago. Broadway of January 1908. Ethel Barrymore (then an actress, now a theater) lit up Som erset Maugham's comedy "Lady Frederick." Others in lights were Maude Adams, Mary Boland, John Drew, Billie Burke. It was Mrs. Fiske in "Salvation Nell." Tyrone Power, movie star of the '40s and '50s, in his first show. Ferenc Molnar's "The Devil" starred George Arliss and Miss Theodosia de Cappet who later became the screen vamp Theda Bara. And there was a revival of the always rerevived "Prisoner of Zenda."

"Wildfire" starred Lillian Russell and a young scamp named Ernest Truex. Douglas Fairbanks titillated in "A Gentleman From Mississippi." George M. Cohan and His Royal Family, as he then billed them, headlined "The Yankee Prince." Nora Bayes and Gertrude Vanderbilt and Anna Held in "Ziegfeld Follies" of 1908. Eddie Foy in "Mr. Hamlet of Broadway." Names like Francis X. Bushman, who became a silent screen idol, and Carter DeHaven, whose daughter eventually made movies as Gloria DeHaven and Trixie Friganza. They mean nothing to us now, but they were the big bright lights of Broadway of 100 years ago.

WHETHER Black Eyed Pea Fergie ever does Broadway, I don't know. I do know she's doing the Web cam with fiancé Josh Duhamel. She's also doing Josh. Also doing it with a stripper pole and putting that on the Web site, too. . . . And Celine Dion's 2008 dream? A recurring one. She's in the front row with her mom and dad when she's announced as winning the Best Actress Oscar for playing Maria Callas. . . . Dustin Hoffman taking medication for acne, and he's age 70. He says the good news is his oily skin keeps him from getting wrinkles.

Katrina Kaif: Meaty roles for this damse


How far have you achieved as an actress in Welcome?
Films like Welcome and Partner are targeted at the audience. They’re important to me in terms of commercial viability. But if you ask me how far I’ve come as an actress, then films like Namaste London are more viable options as they give me larger scope to perform.


What have been the highlights of the year 2007 for you?
I had Namaste London, Apne, Partner, and Welcome… all these meant a lot to me.


And what were your personal achievements?
I was able to move ahead with certain things in my family – in terms of achieving a sense of security. Acquiring my house was also something that made me happy.


Do you have any particular ambition for the New Year?
Yes, I hope someone will offer me a role with a very strong character like the one I had in Namaste London! Hopefully 2008 will be an even more exciting year. I am looking forward to work with different film-makers and do projects that might give me the scope to perform. I have already signed some films for the next year, which look promising.


How come you agreed to do the Yash Raj multi-starer along with Ranbir, Bipasha, Deepika Padukone and Minissha Lamba?
I can’t say much about it right now, since YashRaj has not yet done any news publicity. When people see the film, they’ll understand why I chose to do this role.



How is Subhash Ghai’s Main Yuvraj shaping up?
It’s shaping up extremely well. This is one film where my role is very important. I’m really happy because this film gives me scope to act.

Deepika out of Roshan's film


Rakesh Roshan has turned down OSO girl Deepika Padukone. The film, starring Hrithik Roshan could have been Deepika's ticket to the A-list in Bollywood.


Our sources, however, say that Deepika was not suitable for the role so she was shown the door. When contacted Rakesh Roshan confirms that they are not going ahead with Deepika.


He says, "I am in the process of working on a film which will be directed by Anurag Basu. We may work with Deepika for some other film. "Anurag Basu, who is directing the film endorses, "We are yet scouting for the female lead."


As for Deepika, he says, "Deepika didn't fit the role. We'll definitely work with her in future for some other project. It's quite a complex character and we are looking out for a female lead."


After they dumped Deepika, Roshans are now looking at casting a non-Indian for the role. Says a source, "Roshan's production house and Anurag have been auditioning girls. The female lead needs to be a salsa dancer."


The film is a romantic-action-thriller which will be shot abroad. It is scheduled to go on the floors by March 2008. Apparently, the film is based on Latin dance forms and Hrithik will be seen performing a lot of salsa.

Mischa Barton Arrested for DUI

Mischa Barton has been arrested for misdemeanor DUI, according to a police report obtained by Usmagazine.com.

She has been charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana, according to Los Angeles Sheriff’s Deputy Sgt. John Hocking. She has been ordered to appear in Beverly Hills Court on February 28, 2008.

The actress, 21, was pulled over early around 3 a.m. this morning in West Hollywood after deputies saw her car straddling two lanes of traffic and failing to signal while making a turn. The Web site Hollyscoop.com first reported the news.

She was held on $10,000 bail. She was released around 10:05 a.m. Thursday. Her mother picked her up in a black Mercedes. Her mom carried the paperwork. Mischa walked out with her arms crossed, covering her face with a scarf. She tried to lay down in the back of the car. She was given a police escort so nobody could follow her.

In May, the former star of The O.C. was rushed to the hospital after mixing antibiotics and a "s—tload" of alcohol. Her younger sister, Hania, entered rehab earlier this year at the age of 19 for addiction to painkillers.

"His whole family loves her," a friend of the couple tells the latest issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now. "They are really perfect for each other."

How close are the duo of six months (who started dating in July but didn't go public until October)? After the American Idol winner, 24, spent Thanksgiving with the Gossip Girls hottie, 22, at his parents' home in Dallas, she joined his relatives on part of her Christmas vacation as well, Us confirms. "They spent Christmas together and had a wonderful time," a source says.

Underwood, meanwhile, has no regrets about her July split from Tony Romo. "She thanks her lucky stars she isn't with Tony anymore!" adds a source. "She thinks it's a joke he's with Jessica Simpson and sees him as a player. Carrie and Chace call him 'the player' and Jessica 'the ditz.'"

Tell Us: Are Chace and Carrie a better match than Tony and Jessica?

Salman gets waxed fully clothed at Madame Tussauds


Bollywood celebrities have been permanent visitors of London's Madame Tussauds – Amitabh Bachchan was the first in 2000, the Bachchan bahu Aishwarya Rai joined him four years later and last year, it was Shah Rukh Khan who had his wax work installed there. And next in line is actor Salman Khan who is all set to join this stellar company.

With Bollywood’s latest entry at the wax museum one wonders whether there might soon be a Bollywood corner or even a whole floor for stars from the Hindi film industry at Madame Tussauds. And going by the crowds that Bollywood stars draw, this might be sooner than later.

“Bollywood stars are very popular. We will certainly keep our eye on that and will have whoever our visitors vote for,” Global External Relations of Madame Tussauds, Nicky Hobbs said.

Salman was selected after a Bollywood poll in August this year and the actor seems quite excited at the thought of being immortalised in wax.

About 150 kgs of wax and four months of work is believed to have gone into creating the wax Salman. The actor has even personally given a copy of a bracelet his father had given him to decorate the wax model.

And before you wonder, yes, he will be fully attired in signature jeans and a T-shirt. “We are grateful to Harley Davidson for providing the clothes, especially the boots,” Hobbs said.

So come January 15 and you know where Bollywood fans are headed in the UK.

Sexually Suggestive Photos Cause Miss France Storm.

Sexually Suggestive Photos Cause Miss France Storm.

The MISS FRANCE winner of this year's (07) Miss France contest has been ordered to resign just days into her reign, after a magazine published provocative photographs taken early in her modelling career.

VALERIE BEGUE, 22, a student from the French Indian Ocean island of Reunion, returned home triumphant after her win earlier this month (Dec07).But her joy was short-lived after event organisers took exception to pictures, taken three years ago but only published last week (ends21Dec07), of her floating on a crucifix in a swimming pool and eating yogurt in way deemed lewd by contest officials.

GENEVIEVE DE FONTENAY, 75, a former model who has run the event since the 1950s, has demanded that Begue be stripped of her crown - just two weeks after claiming it.

She says, "I don't understand how she can have had the cheek to enter the competition when she knew perfectly well the ethical rules of Miss France.

"I have no desire to see her again. I certainly cannot see myself going around France escorted by a woman like that. As she is from Reunion, let her stay there!" The dramatic step has caused uproar in Begue's native Reunion, with local radio stations inundated with angry supporters of the model.Begue herself is distraught, and claims to have been "betrayed" by whoever sold the pictures to Entrevue magazine.

She tells France's Le Parisien magazine, "I was never happy with those pictures. They were a mistake that I regret bitterly. But now the wonderful year I had ahead of me is going up in smoke".

Spotlight Often Glaring for Troubled Female Celebrities

By Ruth Reader
Washington


2007 was a troubling year for several female celebrities. And the year also was marked by slow music sales, an unpredictable box office and a Hollywood writers' strike. VOA's Ruth Reader reviews the year's top entertainment news.

Four celebrities repeatedly found themselves in the spotlight in 2007, and the glare was often harsh. In the case of former Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith, it was tragic. She died in February from an accidental prescription drug overdose. The reality TV star died less than a year after the death of her 20-year-old son in a drug related incident and the birth of her daughter.
Soon after Smith's death, pop star Britney Spears faced her own issues -- caught often by cameras in unflattering situations, smacked down by unwanted publicity. She checked into rehab, got into trouble with police and became entangled in a custody battled over her two sons. In spite of her personal problems, Spears still put out a comeback album, "Blackout".

Hotel heiress Paris Hilton got more attention than she wanted when a judge sentenced her to 45 days in jail for violating probation on a drunk driving charge and driving on a suspended license. "I'm definitely scared, but I'm ready to face my sentence," she said. That sentence initially was reduced to 23 days. But when jailers sprung Hilton after just three days for unspecified medical reasons and placed her under more comfortable house arrest, the court did not go along. Back to jail she went and served a 23-day sentence.

Like Hilton, actress Lindsay Lohan had legal problems and trouble dodging celebrity-hounding paparazzi. Police arrested her -- twice -- on drunk driving charges, and she also faced charges for cocaine possession. Her alcohol abuse and stints in rehab made for tabloid headlines.In November, the entertainment industry suffered a blow that will likely last into 2008. Writers went on strike for the first time in nearly 20 years. Without a settlement, reruns are already beginning to dominate American TV.

Even the music industry may be feeling the effects of the writers' strike. Without late night talk show hosts' promotion of new albums and talent, already-low music sales are bound to worsen. USA Today reports that CD sales plummeted 14 percent from last year. It says digital music sales have doubled, but combined music sales are still substantially low. Despite this, new albums are still captivating audiences. At the American Music Awards this year, Justin Timberlake won for Best Male Pop/Rock Artist and his album Futuresex/Lovesounds was awarded best album under Soul, Rhythm and Blues.

Songstress Fergie won for Best Female Pop/Rock Artist. The entertainment channel MTV reports that iTunes users downloaded her song, "Big Girls Don't Cry" more than any other this year.

On the big screen, the top grossing American film this year is "Pirates of the Caribbean at World's End." It is approaching a billion dollars in ticket sales worldwide. The latest boy wizard tale, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," has made nearly as much.

Film critics have different favorites. The Los Angeles Film Critics voted "There Will be Blood," a film roughly based on Upton Sinclair's 1927 novel "Oil!," as the best film of the year, while the New York Film Critics Circle named the Coen brother's crime thriller, "No Country for Old Men" the top film. It is based on Cormac McCarthy's novel by the same name.

The British historical film "Atonement" is another adaptation from a novel that is critically acclaimed. It has won nominations for seven Golden Globe awards, including best dramatic motion picture. The film is adapted from Ian McEwan's novel by the same name.

Katie Holmes Reveals Christmas Plans

It's no secret that Katie Holmes has left her young Dawson's Creek persona far behind for a life of globe-trotting with husband Tom Cruise and her 18-month-old daughter Suri. So what is the Cruise clan planning for Christmas? "My whole family and Tom's whole family will go up to Telluride [Colo.] again. We ski. We have big dinners and laugh," Katie says in a revealing interview with Parade magazine.

Katie — who stars in the upcoming film Mad Money with Diane Keaton and Queen Latifah — plans to spend a lot of time in the kitchen over the holidays. "We love cooking. My mom's stuffing is my favorite. I'm a huge fan of pie, especially pecan. I will probably cook some garlic mashed potatoes and maybe a cheesecake."

Adds Holmes, "We always make a lot of sugar cookies with decorating and sprinkles. Suri will be in the dough everywhere. Tom has shown me the greatness of extra chocolate chips. Tom's really good in the kitchen. He makes great pasta carbonara and lemon pasta."

Nude Jessica Alba preggo pics?

Jessica Alba has no intention of following in the footsteps of Demi Moore, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera and posing naked while pregnant.
Just a week after confirming that she is expecting her first child with boyfriend Cash Warren, it has come to light the 26-year-old beauty has turned down THREE offers of baring all for glossy magazine covers.
A friend says: “Jessica keeps getting phone calls from magazines who want her to pose naked when is about seven months into her pregnancy. They know it will make their magazines sell.
“She had three offers on the first day, but she doesn’t intend to take any of them. She thinks her pregnancy is a personal and private thing.”

What is this world coming to? I mean a nude preggo Jessica is better than no nudes at all. And right now, we are getting no nudes at all. This should be a criminal act. Did I mention that I hate the douchebag that gave her the sex trophy? He gets to see her nude, all the time. I get to see her nude, never. Does that sound fair?

I mean, it is Christmas time, Jessica is apparently a real scrooge. I want to hang the mistletoe this year. With my luck, Rosie O’Donnell will be the one that walks under it. Such is my pathetic life.

Celebrity Christmas Wish Lists

Don't you just hate the way no one gets you what you want for Christmas? Well, fear not young A-list junkies. We've compiled the ultimate gift list for the celebrity and fashion-obsessed, featuring only the hottest, richest, pickiest stars would choose to adorn their homes with.

So, if your best friend's got a thing about Paris' trinkets or Britney's perfumes, then look no further: your Christmas wish lists have arrived - and just in time!

BRITNEY SPEARS
Not a day goes by without Britney getting snapped clutching a pint-sized cup of her favorite
'double shot mocha-choca iced frappucino' (or some such thing) from
Starbucks.

So the obvious present for this party-loving pop star or any of her ardent supporters would be a voucher for the global coffee chain.

This may surprise you but the pop star and mum-of-two is also a closet bookworm - she was photographed recently reading a copy of C.S. Lewis' "The Lion Witch and the Wardrobe." Get her!

Fashion-wise, that might be a little trickier. We don't want to go recommending fans leave the house without their undies, or frighten neighbors with bizarre Halloween-inspired leotard costumes. But we did spot Britney wearing some pretty cool heart-shaped sunglasses recently, which fans are definitely allowed to covet.

Like so many stars, Brit also has her own range of perfumes - 'Curious' and 'Believe', by Elizabeth Arden. She loves dancing to her own track "Gimme More" when out with friends, and she is also reportedly addicted to using the sun bed - so, with that in mind, Britney fans should have plenty to choose from this Christmas.

If you love Britney, you'll love:

Britney's favorite clothes stores: Betsey Johnson, Abercrombie + Fitch, Fred
Segal, Gap, Victoria's Secret and Urban Outfitters
'Curious' and 'Believe' fragrances by Britney Spears, approximately $58
Fake Bake tanning cosmetics
Starbucks vouchers
“Gimme More” single, around $4
“The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe,” from $20
Plastic Heart Sunglasses, $30

Lindsay Lohan Is Not Endorsing Anti-Smoking Lozenges

Lindsay Lohan has denied claims she has been hired as a representative of Ariva lozenges. The star, 21, has been snapped with the sweets - an aid to help quit smoking - on numerous occasions in the last few weeks, prompting reports she has been signed up to advertise the product.

But a representative for the star has dismissed the rumours, saying: "Lindsay has not been paid to endorse Ariva. She is just a fan and is using it to help cut down her smoking as she is currently in the studio recording tracks for her third album."

Celebrity Reckless Driving: Paris Hilton Behind Bars

You think with fame and fortune, you can get away from criminal acts without cleaning up your own mess or without paying the price? I don’t think so because money can’t buy everything! The 26-year-old famous Hollywood celebrity and a hotel heiress is now paying the price for violating probation about her reckless driving while under the influence of alcohol - she is now checked into Los Angeles County Jail for three long weeks!

Paris Hilton was ordered to check into the all-female Century Regional Detention Facility. She was allocated with the booking number 9818783. You can laugh out loud now because she will be spending her three weeks with all the 2,000 inmates in the facility with much contact as expected. Oh yes, no special treatment for the hotel heiress is granted!

Before she served her sentence in jail, she had time to participate and appear on the MTV Movie Awards. She was the usual Paris with a strapless black dress that evening and she told the Associate Press that she was really scared but she’s ready to face her sentence! Way to go Paris!

The law shouldn’t be taken for granted nor abused even thou you’re a famous personality or whatsoever. As the famous line goes from Peter Parker’s uncle Ben, “With great power comes great responsibility!” We should all be aware of that and we hope Paris learns her lesson now!

Britney Spears 'Still Shocked' By Sister's Pregnancy

Things are even more hectic than usual for Britney Spears. On Thursday, after spending a cozy afternoon at her Beverly Hills home with sons Preston, 2, and Jayden, 1, the singer scheduled – then canceled – a session at Millennium Dance Complex.

"She wanted to try out a new dance routine," says a source. But, in the wake of her 16-year-old sister's surprise pregnancy announcement, the studio was swarmed by hoards of photographers.

When Spears, 26 – who had been kept in the dark about the baby news until the story broke on Tuesday – saw the crowd, "she freaked out and just kept driving," says the source, who was on the scene.

"Britney said that she doesn't want to deal with the media because she is still shocked [about Jamie Lynn's pregnancy news]," adds the source. "She feels that she needs peace and quiet."

Spears, however, was friendly with the photogs during a shopping trip after the scene. Although the area offers plenty of great shops, Spears stopped at a random souvenir store on Hollywood Boulevard, where she picked up (and posed with) a Tinkerbell T-shirt and a pink bedazzled onesie.

On the way home, Spears also hit Carl's JR for a late night snack: cheeseburger with a large fries and coke.

Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag Meet Again

Remember how Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag had it out last season in a public screaming match at Les Deux? Well, the producers of The Hills were still trying to squeeze more drama out of the former BFFs' sitch Thursday night, but things didn't go down according to plan.

I spotted Lauren, Audrina, Whitney and Lo shooting scenes upstairs at Goa for the new Hills episodes. They were at a table with a random group of guys. Audrina was taking pictures of the girls on her phone, while Lauren was sipping a cocktail and wearing a headband. It was fascinating stuff.
But later, Heidi somehow managed to break free from Spencer Pratt's clutches for the night and just so happened to hit the same place.

Producers made sure she was seated right next to Lauren's table, all but ensuring that the two former friends would get into it on camera.

But apparently, Lauren wasn't in the mood for another confrontation. "She wasn't having it, so she left the section and went downstairs to dance," says one onlooker.

Cut! Listen, Lauren, it's nice that you're trying to keep the peace and all, but we only watch your show for the drama. So, come on, give the people what they want, 'kay?

Former Teen Star Applauds Jamie Lynn Spears for Keeping Baby

Lisa Welchel, Who Played Blair on 'Facts of Life,' Said She Relates to the Teen TV Star.
The news that 16-year-old Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant caused an earthquake in the tween world. Now it's time for the aftershocks, especially from moms.
Britney Spears' younger sister used to have a squeaky-clean image that anxiousmothers could relate to. And her character on the hit show "Zoey 101" was someone their teen and preteen daughters wanted to be like.
"It's almost like a betrayal," said Us Weekly magazine executive editor Ian Drew. "This is something that won't be looked on lightly by those parents."
But Lisa Welchel, who played Blair on the TV show "Facts of Life" and is the author of several Christian family books, said that as a former teen star and now the mother of teen daughters, she has some sympathy for Spears.
"I'm very passionate about wanting to speak out on behalf of this young girl," Welchel said. "She is a role model, but it's not her responsibility to be a role model. That's so much pressure on a 16-year-old."
In fact, Welchel said she considers Spears a good role model for deciding to keep the baby.
"I'm so proud of her for stepping up and being courageous and taking responsibility for her choices, and I believe she's being a good role model — a good role model in that situation, to choose to have the baby, and … I am supportive of her in that situation," Welchel said.
Welchel added that she thought the media were being too hard on Spears' mother, Lynne.
"Because we are doing the best we can as moms," she said. "We really are. I know that she's doing the best she can as a mom as well."

Let's Talk About Sex

While Spears said publicly she regretted getting pregnant, Logan Levkoff, a sex educator and author, said that Spears' decision to announce her pregnancy on the cover of a tabloid magazine disturbed her.
"That concerns me. We live in a society where that's an acceptable way of talking about what you've done," Levkoff said.

Both Levkoff and Welchel said that having a celebrity example like Spears to talk about might be just the opening parents need to start a frank discussion about sex.

Many parents, however, might be wondering what to say.

Welchel said she talked to her daughters, who are 15 and 16, separately about Spears' pregnancy.

"Both of their responses, and it was a different time, was, you know, this is a wake-up call, not for the kids, for the parents. This is happening everywhere, every day," Welchel said. Levkoff said one thing parents should do is to share some of their teen experiences to show kids they're not absolutely clueless about what it's like to be a teenager."We can say, 'I'm concerned about you, and what's going on? Because we didn't have our pop stars getting pregnant or running around without underwear, we didn't have the Internet. It's not that I don't understand — I want you to see how my world looks like so we can reach a happy medium,'" Levkoff said.

Teens will probably have a lot of questions about her pregnancy.

Levkoff said that a conversation needs to deal with more than just having sex and that parents should be specific.

"How did she get herself into this situation? How do I know when is the right time to be ready for sex? How do I protect myself?" Levkoff said. "It's about emotional and physical protection, how to negotiate, how to communicate, and those things should start now."

Scandalous Nude Photos of Marcia Cross are Released

Marcia Cross is furious that her private full-frontal nude photos found last year have been released, according to Page Six. Much to her dismay, the scandalous nude photos of Marcia, 45, have been splashed across the net. Rumor has it that there could be 200 more in the pile found by a cleaning crew.

Eva Longoria's Desperate Housewives co-star did everything in her power to keep them out of the public eye, but it was unfortunately to no avail. As soon as the pictures were in the slimy grip of sex tape mogul David Hans Schmidt, there was simply no stopping the inevitable.

Back in September, reports claimed that David committed suicide after pleading guilty to extortion charges. He was allegedly attempting to blackmail Tom Cruise for $1 million in exchange for stolen TomKat wedding photos. With David out of the picture, who is really left to take the blame on this one?

Rihanna goes dominatrix during a live show.

sexy rihanna thumb

Just when you thought that rihanna couldn’t get any hotter, she goes leather. Tie me up now. Beat me into submission. I really can’t get over how hot she actually is. Her body is perfect. She needs to take Tara Reid out for lunch some time. There are so many cords on this outfit, I could spend days searching for the one that opens the pleasure chute. If she wears this in concert, I can only imagine what rihanna has in her ho-stash of a closet.
