Sources directly connected with the couple tell us ... Heidi's decision to divorce Seal has nothing to do with a third person. There is NO issue of infidelity.
But Seal's inability to control his anger has become too much for Heidi to take, in no small part because it's affecting their children.
TMZ broke the story that Heidi will divorce Seal, and we've learned this was not a snap decision. As one source said, "It was a long time in coming."
We're also told ... their careers also played a part in Heidi's decision. She has become a mega-entrepreneur and extremely rich, and that professional evolution has created a distance between them.
For his part, Seal has a new album coming out and he's about to launch an international tour.
After seven years of marriage, the supermodel and the singer announced yesterday that they had "grown apart" and were, as always, amicably separating.
Guess renewing your vows every year isn't so much a safeguard as a red flag. We take a look at the not so divine side of their love with a look back at the way they were:
2004: Heidi and Seal meet in the lobby of a New York City hotel. The Project Runway star later recounted the tale of their first encounter (in which the "Kiss From a Rose" singer infamously wore a pair of tight-fitting bicycle shorts) on The Oprah Winfrey Show: "He came in just from the gym and I was sitting there and I was, like, wow. And I pretty much saw everything. The whole package." The romance seemingly began at quite an inopportune time—she was pregnant with daughter Leni, her child with racing car owner Flavio Briatore.
May 4, 2004: Heidi gives birth to Leni with Seal by her side. He quickly assumes fatherly duties and even dedicates his next album, Best: 1991-2004, to "my daughter Leni."
Dec. 23, 2004: Just two days before Christmas, Seal makes sure to make Heidi's holiday season a memorable one. Raising the bar for husbands-to-be everywhere, the singer pops the question during a romantic ski holiday in which he had an igloo built especially for the occasion.
May 10, 2005: In front of about 40 guests on a Mexican beach resort, the couple—already expecting their first child together— tie the knot. It was the second trip down the aisle for Klum, who previously spent five years married to hairstylist Ric Pipino, and the first for Seal.
Sept. 12, 2005: The couple's first biological child together, Henry Gunther Ademola Dashtu Samuel, is born.
May 10, 2006: The couple begins their infamous practice or renewing their vows every year on their wedding anniversary. Every. Year.
Nov. 22, 2006: Their second son, Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel, is born.
Oct. 9, 2009: The couple welcomes daughter Lou Sulola Samuel.
Nov. 21, 2009: Heidi Klum officially adopts Seal's surname and is legally known as Heidi Samuel. She continues to go by Heidi Klum professionally.
December 2009: Seal officially adopts Heidi's daughter Leni, and the girl's surname is also changed to Samuel.
September 2010: Looking as strong as ever, the happy couple appear together in Seal's romantic and slightly risqué music video "Secret."
August 2011: The family vacations together in Ibiza. Tabloids retrospectively peg this trip as the beginning of their relationship troubles.
October 2011: The couple hosts their (formerly) annual blowout Halloween party, one of their last joint public appearances.
Dec. 26, 2011: In what seems to be the last time the couple are seen together, Heidi tweets out a photo of the duo on holiday in Aspen.
Jan. 15, 2012: Seal is nowhere to be seen as Heidi attends the Golden Globe awards solo.
Jan. 18, 2012: While Klum is alone in L.A., Seal makes the promotional rounds in the U.K. for his new album, pretaping a performance of the now poignantly named "Backstabbers" to air on The Jonathan Ross Show over the weekend.
Jan. 20, 2012: Rather cryptically, Seal sends out a tweet reading, simply, "The End."
Jan. 21, 2012: Rumors of an impending split between the couple reach a fever pitch, flooding the Internet.
Jan. 22, 2012: Finally breaking their silence, a rep for the couple confirms they have separated, though divorce papers have yet to be filed:
"While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul-searching we have decided to separate. We have had the deepest respect for one another throughout our relationship and continue to love each other very much, but we have grown apart. This is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of our children remains our top priority, especially during this time of transition. We thank our family, friends, and fans for their kind words of support. And for our children¹s sake, we appreciate you respecting our privacy."
In an exclusive statement to PEOPLE, the Project Runway host and the singer say:
"While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul-searching we have decided to separate.
"We have had the deepest respect for one another throughout our relationship and continue to love each other very much, but we have grown apart. This is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of our children remains our top priority, especially during this time of transition.
"We thank our family, friends, and fans for their kind words of support. And for our children's sake, we appreciate you respecting our privacy."
The couple are parents to Leni, 7, Henry, 6, Johan, 5, and Lou, 2.
The supermodel, 38, and the Grammy winner, 48, began dating in 2003 after Klum had split from Italian racecar team manager Flavio Briatore.
In December 2004, Seal proposed with a yellow diamond ring of more than 10 carats in a specially-built igloo on a 14,000-ft.-high glacier in Whistler, B.C. Klum described it as "a once-in-a-lifetime event."
They opted for a warmer destination for their wedding, exchanging vows on the beach in Costa Careyes, Mexico, in May 2005.
Contrary to reports that surfaced Saturday, "They've been fighting a lot lately, but they have no plans to announce a split right now," the source says. "They're not divorcing."
But they have been weathering a rough patch.
According to the insider, in recent months, distance has tested the famously lovey-dovey pair.
On tour to promote his new album, Soul 2, Seal recently flew solo to New York to appear on Late Show with David Letterman, then to London for more commitments.
Back together at their Brentwood, Calif., home on Saturday, "they seem to be doing a lot better," the source adds. "They're both wearing their wedding bands."
But there's more time apart on the horizon.
While Seal is due to appear this week on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Tavis Smiley – all of which tape in and around Los Angeles – Klum is expected to travel to Germany soon to promote the seventh season of Germany's Next Top Model, which premieres Feb. 23.
The couple were married in Mexico in 2005 after having met the previous year.
There has been no comment from their reps. Klum's father, Günther Klum, when reached on his cellphone by the German publication Bunte, sounded surprised by the news and replied, "I don't know anything about it, call me again tomorrow."
The two were reportedly last seen together on Dec. 27, when the supermodel-mom Tweeted a photo of herself and her musician husband in Aspen, reports the Daily Mail.
Project Runway star Klum, 38, was previously married to celebrity hairstylist Ric Pipino and had a daughter – Leni, now 7 – with Italian entrepreneur Flavio Briatore.
She and Seal, 48, also have three children together: Henry Günther, 6, Johan Riley, 5, and Lou, 2.
When she was pregnant with daughter Lou, Klum said of her marriage, "When we're home, we're cooking and doing things with the kids, driving them to school. We do the things that everyone has to do."
"Inspired by you @Lauren Scruggs," Giuliana Rancic Tweeted on Wednesday evening. "You will come out of this stronger w/more meaning to ur life."
Rancic can relate to Scruggs (who lost her left eye and left hand after the accident) following her double mastectomy in December.
"Your spirit is inspiring," Rancic, 37, continued. "Praying for u:)"
"Thanks so much @GuilianaRancic. I really appreciate it," Scruggs, 23, replied Thursday, adding that she agreed with the E! host's sentiment about the future after her life-changing injuries.
"I believe your sweet words. Hope you are doing well too :D"
Turns out, the E! host and the blogger have more in common than just their career field and their respective recoveries: Rancic has said she became more religious since battling breast cancer, and Scruggs has written about how her faith is getting her through such a difficult time.
Going to church "never meant as much as it does now," Rancic said last month.
"We are all so adored by the amazing and powerful Lord," Scruggs wrote on her blog Jan. 9, "and nothing is greater than walking in His planned-out lives."
"[Lauren] has been talking, lately, about JOY," her mother, Cheryl Scruggs, has written on Lauren's Caring Bridge webpage. "It brings tears to my eyes as she says, 'This isn't what I would have chosen, but God knows what He is doing ... I am excited to see how I can be used."
The unidentified pilot, who is said to be Curt Richmond of Frisco, Texas, says he "leaned out of his seat and placed his right hand and arm in front of her to divert her away from the front of the airplane and the propeller," according to a preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Administration.
"He continued to keep his arm extended and told the passenger that she should walk behind the airplane," the report says.
When he thought she was safe, the pilot "returned to his normal seat position," only to soon hear someone shout "Stop, Stop." He then shut down the engine and saw the fashion blogger lying in front of the plane, says the report, which was obtained by ABC News.
Scruggs, 23, lost her left hand and left eye following the Dec. 3 accident, and has had to relearn basic functions – although she is said to be making remarkable progress.
On Jan. 11, Scruggs had her "first meeting with the prosthetic arm people," her mother, Cheryl Scruggs, wrote on Lauren's Caring Bridge site. After the 3.5 hour meeting, "we all came out speechless and exhausted, but also encouraged and hopeful," adds Cheryl.
Scruggs's family reportedly do not blame the pilot for the accident, although some aviation experts have questioned why the propeller was still running as a passenger was exiting the plane.
Following many updates from her mother, Scruggs herself spoke about the incident for the first time a week ago, posting a note to her blog thanking fans for their "loving hearts and sweet spirits."
Although she did not address the NTSA report, mother Cheryl Sruggs wrote about Lauren on the Caring Bridge site. "She's not going to let this steal her Joy. She's determined and confident. It's hard ... but she sees it all through the eyes of the King."

The socialite earned mixed reviews for her debut album Paris back in 2006 and now she's planning a comeback with the Party Rock Anthem hitmakers.
She tells MTV News, "We're going to be doing my new single with LMFAO... I've known them since I was a little girl. We grew up together 'cause our parents are friends, so I'm just so proud of them and all their success and what they've done 'cause they've just created this whole Party Rock brand and it's just so awesome."
And Hilton insists her new album will be very different from her debut: "I'm going with a whole new genre."
The former Dancing with the Stars contestant and longtime boyfriend Ali Alborzi, a photographer, will welcome their second child in July, her rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.
The new addition will join big sister Rumi Joon, 5½.
“I’ve learned a lot about myself by watching Rumi Joon grow up,” Maran, 33, tells PEOPLE.
“Just seeing her smile makes me realize that being happy is the ultimate beauty secret, and I can’t wait to welcome this new addition to my family.”
The Josie Maran Cosmetics founder, who told PEOPLE in the past that she “wasn’t rushing” towards baby no. 2, says her memories of pregnancy are returning quickly.
“I’ve already gotten back into prenatal yoga, and I’m just bracing myself for the weird food cravings to kick in — last time it was chocolate ice cream with pickles, so who knows what to expect this time!”
Taking a page from the Eat, Pray, Love author's playbook, Tyra Banks took a trip to Asia and found a new love.
"It's a total long-distance romance," a source reveals to PEOPLE of Banks's new Balinese love interest. "But it's a big deal."
Banks, who split with longtime boyfriend John Utendahl last fall, had gone to China shortly before the holidays to tape the latest season of America's Next Top Model.
She met her new man while traveling and after flying back to New York, she turned right around and flew back to Bali to spend the holidays with him, the source says.
A rep for Banks would not comment on her new romance.
"I've been eating almonds, pistachios, nuts with no sodium and some dried fruit all day long," the Kendra star told PEOPLE Sunday at NBC Universal's Golden Globes after party.
Calling it her "natural diet," Wilkinson, 26, says she's turned her whole family into a bunch of nut fanatics.
"We blend them in our smoothies and we have them in our yogurt," she explains. "We're a healthy family."
Walking the carpet with her husband of more than two years, the former Girls Next Door star gushed about the two most important men in her life.
"I think [little Hank] takes after Hank," she says of her 2-year-old son. "He's a gentleman already [and] an old soul. He knows how to treat his mom, he knows how to help someone up when they fall down."
Continues Wilkinson: "He is the most thoughtful, most kind little boy we could've ever imagined."
So how do Mommy and Daddy keep romance alive with a tiny tot running around?
"Being apart is actually the key to a romantic relationship," she shares. "He's been away for a couple days now and that's why we're out here because we want to have a romantic night out."
"I hear there's been a lot of pictures of me surfing. I cringe at the thought of them," Macpherson told PEOPLE at Sunday's Golden Globe awards.
"Listen, have fun," she says of her first workout rule. "Do lots of sport. Don't worry about your silhouette, worry about how you feel. That's what I say to myself: 'How do I feel today?' "
Macpherson focuses on sports she can do alone, since she travels so much. "I do sport because I love it," she says. "I'm Australian, and I have an outdoor life. And maybe that's what people see. I surf, I snow ski, I water ski, I ride a horse, I hike, I paddleboard."
She also doesn't obsess over her diet. "I had chicken fingers and fries at lunch," she said on Sunday. "I was so hungry. You can check my room service bill."
Macpherson, who will host a new reality show, Fashion Star, on NBC beginning March 13, presented an award with Ashton Kutcher at Sunday's show – and said it was the highlight of her night.
"He's a wonderful person," she said. "He was very supportive. I was very nervous because it's my first time at the Golden Globes."
The pairing made sense. "We're the same height," Macpherson said with a laugh. "He was the only bloke I could present with."
“It was the first cake he had ever seen or tasted. It was a gluten-free cake and organic, of course,” the model mama, 28, told PEOPLE during her debut as the Qantas airways ambassador on Thursday.
“He put his face in the cake. It was a healthy kick-start to his first birthday.”
The proud parents welcomed a few friends and family to celebrate Flynn’s big day, which aside from cooking courtesy of Kerr, also included plenty of activities for the little ones.
“There were a lot of balloons,” the Victoria’s Secret Angel says. “We had a balloon man come because [Flynn] likes balloons. That was a lot of fun.”
But, after spending time with “five little friends … about the same age,” the birthday boy was ready for some much-needed rest. “He was awake for a couple of hours and then it was nap time,” shares Kerr.
And with Flynn “doing something different” every day — he’s “almost walking!” — Kerr raves that her husband Bloom, 35, is always ready to tackle daddy duty.
“He has really stepped up to the role and is very hands-on,” she says. “It makes me proud that he is such a good dad.”
The model/actress and her producer husband are expecting their first child together at the end of June, she shared Tuesday on her website.
“I am absolutely, positively, downright over the moon to announce that we are pregnant! There are simply no words to describe the feeling … I finally get what they mean when they say pregnant women GLOW,” she writes.
“Our little bundle of joy is a honeymoon baby, due at the end of June. A first pregnancy is a nerve-wracking experience of course, but mostly we are just thrilled and excited. We can’t wait to meet him or her.”
The Project Accessory host, 38, and Stuber, 42, tied the knot in September in an intimate ceremony in Napa Valley, Calif., in front of family and friends.
When it came time to tell her new husband, Sims utilized a fortune cookie — which she posted a photo of at the top of her announcement.
“I hijacked the fortune cookie and typed a new message so that when he opened his cookie at the end of the meal, he found out he was going to be a daddy,” she explains.
“You can only imagine how nervous I was during the entire meal (I think I ate a total of two bites…), but the look of surprise and pure joy on his face was priceless.”
Babies were on the brain for Sims as early as October, when she hinted to PEOPLE that she’d love to expand her new family.
Speaking of her gorgeous Marchesa wedding dress, she said: “Hopefully one day, knock on wood, I’ll have a little baby girl to pass it down to.”
In a post on her blog titled "so (very) much thanks…" Scruggs, 23, wrote on Monday: "i don't know how to thank each one of you, properly, for so much love during this difficult incident in my life."
"my heart is so grateful beyond what i could ever imagine. So thank you dearly for the sweet encouragements, the precious words in letters and messages, the beautiful grace in pretty presents, but mostly i am so SO thankful for you and your loving hearts and sweet spirits."
On Dec. 3, the fashion blogger and model accidentally walked into a spinning plane propeller.
Doctors removed her left hand and eye and she also suffered shoulder and brain injuries.
Scruggs has been undergoing intensive rehab in a Dallas hospital, and despite excruciating pain, she as been making great progress, her mother reports. On the inside and out.
"Lo has been talking, lately, about JOY," Cheryl Scruggs wrote on Lauren's Caring Bridge webpage. "It brings tears to my eyes as she says, 'This isn't what I would have chosen, but God knows what He is doing ... I am excited to see how I can be used."
Lauren repeated that sentiment of acceptance on her blog.
"we are all so adored by the amazing and powerful Lord," she writes, "and nothing is greater than walking in His planned-out lives."
The image was shot in Turks and Caicos by Greg Kadel. In it, the 23-year-old South African beauty wears an iridescent snakeskin print bikini while posing seductively, her feet dipped in the ocean.
In November, Swanepoel was also given the honor of opening the Victoria's Secret runway show, a sign of the model's increasing popularity.
Swanepoel also is on the cover of Harper's Bazaar Espana. In her cover shot, Swanepoel shows off her long legs in a Balmain dress, with a black Victoria's Secret bra peaking out from underneath.
We hear the threesome met over New Year's Day brunch at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles. "The meeting went well and mom and Erin were seen laughing. Leo and Erin were on their best behavior," our source explained.
DiCaprio and Heatherton have grown extremely close since December, and spent the holidays vacationing in Mexico with friends including couples George Clooney and Stacey Keibler, and Alex Rodriguez and his new gal pal Torrie Wilson. DiCaprio is filming "The Great Gatsby" in Australia with director Baz Luhrmann, and Heatherton made a trip right before the holidays to Australia to see him on set.
DiCaprio is extremely close with his mother, who has often accompanied the actor on the red carpet, and her approval is key to his long term relationships. This summer, DiCaprio introduced former flame Blake Lively to Irmelina, but the "Gossip Girl" actress reportedly didn't hit it off with DiCaprio's mother during the meeting.
Lively reported talked too much about her acting and modeling for Chanel, leaving an impression she was self-centered. Leo and Blake split in October.
The socialite has launched a number of different product lines including fragrances, accessories, shoes and bed linen, and she has also opened 35 stores to sell her goods.
Hilton has now revealed just how lucrative her business is, admitting her projects have earned her millions of dollars.
She tells FHM magazine, "I'm involved in my products every step of the way. My fragrances are doing really well at the moment.
"They've produced more than $1.3 billion in revenue since 2005. I have 35 stores and 17 product lines and then there's my racing team, my 14 fragrances..."
Hilton is now concentrating on launching a new project called the Paris Hilton Beach Club chain, which will include bars, gyms and nightclubs.
She adds, "The first one is opening in the Philippines soon. It's going to have nightclubs, restaurants, bars, gyms, everything really."
The model and fashion blogger, 23, now has "no depth perception, making even walking up and down steps a hard thing to do," Cheryl Scruggs writes on her daughter's Caring Bridge website.
Walking through a room without running into something is also "a challenge," she writes, and driving again will also prove a highly difficult task. "She will need to relearn how to drive and will not be driving for 2-3 months [and] only if she passes the required tests," says Cheryl.
What's more, "Lo had a brain injury, which requires working hard at cognitive skills and regaining full use of her brain function."
Even more basic tasks have been compromised, her mother reports, thanks to the loss of Lauren's left hand.
"Losing her hand changes the way she dresses herself, opens her make-up containers (now with her teeth and right hand), and even making her bed."
Though her daughter (whose friends helped raise $10,000 for her medical bills) has made great strides in her recovery, the family is still facing an uphill battle dealing with their new reality.
"We trust Jesus, but, being human, this is hard ... very very hard. Life stopped as we knew it, and changed over night."
We’re told the Russian beauty is “a natural” with the baby, who the soccer stud announced was born via surrogate in July 2010, a few months after they started dating. This week, Shayk accompanied him to Dubai, where he picked up a trophy at the Globe Soccer Awards and swam with dolphins. The couple are said to be heading to Ronaldo’s hometown of Madrid for New Year’s Eve. Shayk and Ronaldo have been together since May 2010, after meeting during an ad shoot for Emporio Armani.
"I think we just found each other's other half," the Victoria's Secret model recently told me.
So much so that the Maroon 5 frontman popped the question? Vyalitsyna is often seen with a ring on her left ringer.
Nope, they're not engaged.
Not only are the rings usually highly stylized and not exactly engagement-like, but Vyalitsyna explained, "I'm Russian. We wear [wedding rings] on the right hand so wearing it on the left doesn't really matter."
That doesn't mean she's not completely smitten with her man.
"He is an amazing guy," the leggy blond beauty gushed. "He's just a normal dude. He's like the most non-rock-star rock star ever. And he is very caring and very loving and very goofy and funny."
Sounds pretty perfect to us.
And the pair appear to be having a great holiday week together. Not only were they at the Lakers game on Tuesday, but yesterday they hit Disneyland. Vyalitsyna tweeted a pic of herself and The Voice coach riding Space Mountain.
The special week of celeb shows will air beginning Jan. 2 through the end of next week. Veteran rapper Snoop Dogg will kick things off Monday when he plays in honor of his Snoop Youth Football League.
Tuesday, former Playmate Jenny McCarthy stops by to play on behalf of Generation Rescue.
How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris plays Wednesday in support of The Noreen Fraser Foundation.
Thursday belongs to American Idol alum Chris Daughtry, who will donate his winnings to the Alzheimer's Association.
And finally, supermodel and Project Runway host Heidi Klum is up Friday when she plays for UNICEF.
E! News has exclusively learned that lingerie model Lily Aldridge and her Kings of Leon hubby, Caleb Followill, are expecting their first child together.
According to the source, the brunette beauty is said to be approximately three months along.
Aldridge and the band's frontman tied the knot last May in Santa Barbara after Caleb proposed to his then-girlfriend of more than two years in September of the previous year.
Call us crazy, but we're going to bet that this little tot is going to have some insanely awesome genes.
Congrats!
A fundraiser in Texas to aid the model and fashion editor with her medical bills raised more than $10,000 – as well as the spirits of the 23-year-old, who was severely injured when she accidentally walked into a spinning plane propeller on Dec. 3.
"Lo is making remarkable strides!" her mother, Cheryl Scruggs, posted Monday on the Caring Bridge website. "She is talking of what happened, and very quickly recognizes that God has purpose for it all. She wants to use it for Him, and use it boldly to glorify Him."
The message also said, "Her spirit is incredible. She's positive, hungry and cheery! Her appetite is very healthy, even though she is still taking lots of pain medication."
For the fundraiser, held in a restaurant in Plano, local businesses donated items such as jewelry that was sold at a silent auction, and the event's emcee, LeeAnne Locken, told the crowd of friends and family members: "Tonight is about celebrating – it is about celebrating that Lauren Scruggs is going to come back 10 times stronger than she was before this accident."
"It is truly a miracle to think of how far she has come in such a short amount of time," a friend of Lauren's, Janee Harrell, told ABC News."Her mind and her outlook and her spirit is amazing … her beauty is truly from within."
In the accident, Scruggs lost her left hand and suffered facial and shoulder injuries. On Dec. 14 doctors removed her left eye.
In her blog post, Cheryl Scruggs made note of Lauren's strong intuitive bond with her twin sister Britt, and wrote: "Britt's left eye has been twitching for the last four to five days every 30 seconds or so. She knows it's because of their deep connection she and Lo have."
Donations can be made to the Lauren Scruggs Hope Fund on the LOLO Magazine website.
Alessandra Ambrósio is expecting her second child with fiancé Jamie Mazur, her rep confirms to PEOPLE.
The Victoria’s Secret stunner, 30, is already mom to daughter Anja Louise, 3.
Despite flaunting a fit and trim physique at last month’s Fashion Show, the pregnancy comes as no surprise — Ambrósio recently replied, “Definitely” when asked if she had plans to expand her family.
The model and Mazur, a businessman, began dating in 2005.
"John Legend and his girlfriend, model Chrissy Teigen, got engaged over the holidays while vacationing in the Maldives," Legend's rep, Cindi Berger, tells PEOPLE.
No further details were provided, but Legend's whereabouts this coming weekend are being reported in Las Vegas newspapers.
The singer, 32, will be performing at The Pearl at the Palms on New Year's Eve. His latest album, with The Roots, is Wake Up!.
WWD reports that the new mom, who also helms an eponymous jewelry collection, received a cease-and-desist letter from Derek Lam, who claims one of her designs is an exact replica of his.
“We have seen very similar copies before but we have never seen a shoe that perfectly copied,” Jan-Hendrik Schlottmann, chief executive officer of Derek Lam, told WWD. The shoe in question, a $150 Cadie wedge from the Ivanka Trump Footwear Collection, is said to be knock-off of Lam’s $780 “Ayami” design (for a side by side comparison, click here.)
But Marc Fisher Footwear, the collection’s distributor, strongly denies the claims.
“The Lam wedge sandals are of a popular design type that has been used by numerous manufacturers for many decades,” the company says in a statement. “There is nothing iconic about the appearance of the Lam sandal.”
As for Lam’s lawyer’s insistence that Trump’s Cadie wedge “mimic each unique design detail,” the licensee says there are discernable differences. “The Ivanka Trump sandals prominently display the Ivanka Trump name, and there can be no confusion as to the source of the Ivanka Trump sandals.”
The designer has reportedly given Trump seven business days to pull the shoe off the market.
When reached on Thursday, representatives for Derek Lam said they are “no longer commenting on this matter.”
Sanchez has been paying frequent late-night visits to the Victoria’s Secret and Sports Illustrated swimsuit model’s Flatiron apartment, we’re told. He’s been spotted several times at the voluptuous blonde’s pad since November, usually after games or before practices — sometimes as late as midnight — rolling up in his black chauffeur-driven Navigator.
Sanchez was even seen in Upton’s building lobby carrying gifts for her after he attended a charity event early last month. On another occasion, Sanchez was spotted coming into the building with bags a minute or two after Upton arrived.
“They never come in together. He’s always five steps after her,” our source told us, adding that Sanchez often hides under a woolly hat. Sexy Upton has also attended some Jets games as her sister, Christie Upton, is a manager of client relations for the team and works closely with Sanchez.
Another source insisted that Upton and Sanchez are “just friends.”
Last week, we revealed Sanchez was also spotted entertaining two mystery women in one night at the Moderne Hotel.
He checked in with an alluring Spanish-looking brunette at 3 a.m., and after she left, an attractive blonde joined him in his room for just over an hour before they left at the same time. It is not clear whether this was Upton or her sister.
A rep for Upton, who was last year briefly linked to Kanye West, declined to comment on her personal life. Sanchez’s reps didn’t get back to us.
The Jets QB has been linked to a string of beauties since he arrived here two years ago, including actresses Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Hayden Panettiere, who’s now dating his teammate Scotty McKnight.
In January, he reportedly wooed Eliza Kruger, then 17, after meeting her at Lavo.
The photos for Fred, which are also featured in the November issue of Grazia, include a topless, tousled-haired Moss shot by Sonia Sieff. Several of them are almost indistinguishable from the photos in which she appears for David Yurman’s spring 2011 campaign, which were shot more than a year ago by Peter Lindbergh.
“The Fred campaign is embarrassingly similar to the one David Yurman ran a year ago,” a Yurman rep told Page Six. “When you are a leader in your category, you get used to people copying you. We are confident consumers know the difference.”
In one ad from the Yurman campaign, Moss held up a watch on her right arm to her parted lips, simultaneously pulling at a few strands of blond hair near her face. A similar image to promote the brand for Paris-based Fred shows Moss wearing a set of rings on various fingers with two hands up to her mouth, also pulling at a few tousled strands of hair.
In another famous image from Yurman’s campaign, Moss lies on her stomach naked on a white furry rug, her bottom exposed, while wearing several Yurman bracelets on her left arm. Her hands are held up to her face, again locked in a come-hither expression.
An image for Fred shows Moss lying topless on her stomach on a black fluffy rug, but wearing leather pants to cover her bottom half. She wears rings on her right hand held up to her mouth, with the same sexy expression as in the Yurman ad.
The only marked difference between the promotions are that Moss’ small tattoo of an anchor on her right forearm is plainly visible in the Fred images, but is either covered by jewelry or airbrushed out of the Yurman ad.
A representative for Fred, which is owned by Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy, had no comment. Reps for Moss did not respond to our e-mails.
"Lauren is recovering remarkably well, given the circumstances," her mother, Cheryl Scruggs, said in a statement Wednesday night. "The doctors are VERY pleased with her progress."
Unfortunately, Scruggs, 23, who lost her left hand and suffered facial and shoulder injuries in the accident as well, had to have her left eye removed on Wednesday.
"She is in excruciating pain," says her mother. "Please pray for her appetite to return and for her to have the patience to take this journey one day at a time."
"We have been praying for a miracle," Cheryl Scruggs continues, and though doctors weren't able to save Lauren's eye as they'd hoped, Cheryl adds: "The miracle that Jesus gave us is a prosthesis. We continue to be eternally grateful for your prayers and support. It means more than words can say."
Scruggs's family and friends regularly update her condition on her Caring Bridge website, and they've set up a Lauren Scruggs Hope Fund for donations to help with her ongoing care.
She has teamed up again with Stuart Krasnow Productions (The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency), to launch Sober Model House, which will be based out of London, The Insider reports.
As the name would suggest, the series will focus on a group of models who have moved into the same residence to get clean. Sober Model House will begin shooting in January. No word yet on whether or not a network is attached.
Dickinson, 55, has her own struggles with anorexia, bulimia, anxiety and alcoholism. She appeared on the fourth season of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, which she claims "really worked on me."
The catwalk beauty began dating John Utendahl in 2008, but the pair recently parted ways and Banks has jetted off to Bali for a break, according to the New York Post's gossip column PageSix.
A source tells the publication, "Tyra has gone away with a female friend and has been island-hopping, visiting Bali and taking a spiritual retreat."
Banks' representative told the newspaper, "I do not comment on Tyra's personal life."
"Such a miracle!" says an update Saturday on her CaringBridge.org site.
"She walked up and down the hall 3 times today with the help of a physical therapist," says the site. "The doctors are all very pleased with her progress."
The 23-year-old lost her left hand and underwent several emergency surgeries on her face and shoulder after she accidentally walked into a spinning airplane propeller in Texas.
Despite the early encouraging signs of progress, her family spokesperson tells PEOPLE she still faces a long recovery period.
Editors at MensHealth.com polled members of the general public to determine the most desirable female - dead or alive - and the former Friends star has topped the list.
One Million Years B.C. beauty Raquel Welch was named second best, while blonde bombshell Marilyn Monroe landed at three. Pop stars Madonna and Britney Spears round out the top five.
But Aniston insists she doesn't deserve the title and has instead offered up her own preferred picks.
She says, "It's a tie between (actress/model) Brigitte Bardot and (feminism activist) Gloria Steinem. But if I had to choose one, I'd say Gloria because, well, she's the full package. That's sexy."
Also making the cut were Angelina Jolie (10), Scarlett Johansson (12), Megan Fox (13), Colombian singer Shakira (18), supermodel Heidi Klum (20), Salma Hayek (22), Cameron Diaz (24) and Victoria's Secret beauty Gisele Bundchen (25).
"Lauren walks!" reads an update on her Caring Bridge website, posted Wednesday. "This morning ... the physical therapist assisted Lauren in walking for the first time."
"Once she got halfway there, she said, '30.' Not sure what she meant, [her family] asked her what that means, she replied, 'Steps!' What a praise, she was counting every step that she took!"
On Monday, Scruggs marked a milestone as well, speaking for the first time since the accident.
But the 23-year-old (who lost her hand and underwent several emergency surgeries on her face and shoulder after she accidentally walked into the propeller) still faces a long recovery period, the Scruggs family spokesperson tells PEOPLE.
"The left eye is still non-responsive, the doctors will continue monitoring it for the next few days," the Caring Bridge update reads. "Please pray [for] Lauren as she begins to learn the extent of her injuries."
Lauren's father, Jeff Scruggs, told Good Morning America that he believes his daughter, who had been flying around Dallas in the two-seater plane, went to thank the pilot when she accidentally walked into the propeller.
Scruggs, 23, who runs the fashion blog LOLO, was climbing out of a two-seater plane at a private airport in McKinney, Texas when the accident happened, according to Fox 4 News in Dallas-Fort Worth.
Scruggs had been flying around the state to look at Christmas lights. Her hand was later amputated by surgeons and the FAA is investigating the accident, according to Fox 4 News.
She also sustained severe head and shoulder injuries during the mishap, according to a family spokesperson who posted on the website Caring Bridge.
"After exiting a propeller plane, an accident occurred where she walked into the front of the prop," the post reads. "Struck on the left side of her body, Lauren's hand, head, and shoulder area were hit."
An update on the site Monday afternoon said Scruggs was recovering from multiple emergency operations.
"Lauren's surgery went very well this morning," according to the statement. "She is now resting in ICU with the family. She is able to open her right eye to see while her left eye is still bandaged. Please continue to pray for the vision of her left eye, as we will not know the status of her sight for some time."
Featured on Larry King's CNN special Dinner With the Kings, the supermodel said: "When I'm sitting there and have all this makeup on and I'm like, 'Your picture is not fierce,' that is a character. In real life I'm passive aggressive, I'm anti-confrontational, I'm even in coaching to learn how to be confrontational."
Other celebs who joined Banks at the dinner, which aired on CNN Sunday were Conan O'Brien, Seth MacFarlane, Shaquille O'Neal, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, Quincy Jones and Russell Brand.

Former supermodel Christie Brinkley has been accused by the IRS of dodging $531,000 in federal taxes, according to a new report.
The IRS filed a $531,720 tax lien against the 57-year-old Brinkley on Nov. 21 with the Suffolk County Clerk, The Detriot News reported today.
The address on the lien is Brinkley's $30 million estate in Bridgehampton, records show.
On a recent outing in New York, Kerr tried her best to keep her 10-month-old shielded from the shutterbugs — but he was having none of it!
“It’s so funny because I was putting the scarf over to cover him from the paparazzi,” the Victoria’s Secret model, 28, said during a Monday appearance on Chelsea Lately.
“And he was pulling it up, going, ‘Hey, guys! Here I am. Look at me!’”
Kerr welcomed her first child with husband Orlando Bloom last January following a drug-free delivery. But while she may have opted for a natural birth, the actor wasn’t quite as convinced!
“Orlando wanted the epidural, to be honest … for himself,” she jokes. “I was so determined and I just made up my mind that I didn’t want to have the epidural. I was actually induced, so it was much more intense.”
Her experience is still paying off, she laughs, adding, “Now I can much more easily handle a paper cut.”
And while his model mama loves rocking it on the runway — which she will be doing during Tuesday’s annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show — Flynn has also been known to get his groove on.
“He loves hip hop. When I had him in my stomach, I’d play music and sometimes I’d put on hip hop and dance around,” Kerr shares.
“So now I put hip hop on and he shakes his head and gets into it.”
Several years later, she was blown away by the company again — but this time, it was because she was the first Australian model to get a contract with the brand. “I just remember the first time I met Adriana [Lima], she was so beautiful,” Kerr says. “I was like, ‘Why would they want me? I mean, look at her. She’s incredible.’ And then I met Heidi and Gisele and I was like, ‘What am I doing here?’”
Now one of the company’s most recognizable faces — and the model who has the honor of wearing the $2.5-million “Fantasy Treasure Bra” in tonight’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show — Kerr is more confident about her place in the fashion world.
“I always see myself as, like, equal to everyone,” she says of her fellow models. “I can’t feel bad about being who I am, just like the girl next to me can’t feel bad about being who she is. A rose can never be a sunflower, and a sunflower can never be a rose.”
In fact, Kerr hopes her attitude toward beauty resonates with her fans. “All flowers are beautiful in their own way, and that’s like women too,” she shares. “I want to encourage women to embrace their own uniqueness.”
Miranda Kerr, Doutzen Kroes and Alessandra Ambrosio have all been crowned VS Angels, so they are among the half-dozen models to get the best outfits and most face time during the lingerie giant's televised annual fashion show, which was scheduled to air Tuesday night on CBS. Backstage, wearing their short, hot-pink satin robes, they're also the ones attracting the most attention.
What were they talking about with all those photographers, makeup artists and other models? Nutrition, exercise and juggling their jet-setting careers with their little ones.
Kroes and Kerr have bona fide babies, both giving birth to sons last January. Ambrosio's daughter was born in 2008.
Motherhood hasn't slowed them down at all: Kerr even got to wear the coveted diamond-covered bra. "I was asked to do it after I gave birth," said Kerr. "That was awesome. It's such an honor."
Ed Razek, chief marketing officer for Victoria's Secret parent Limited Brands, has long taken the position that the company wants feminine, womanly models, because that's who looks best in the lingerie. "It's true, a number of our models have come back from having a baby more beautiful than ever. I know that some of them have used the show date as a goal to get back in shape and, I think, having a baby has given them a sense of confidence, an 'I can do anything' attitude that is reflected on the runway."
One thing model moms can do is make money. Forbes ranks Gisele Bundchen, Heidi Klum, Kate Moss, Adriana Lima and Ambrosio — all often photographed with their children — as the top earners of the industry this year.
Some tidbits on mixing modeling and motherhood:
—Kroes
It was empowering to mold her new figure into shape, said Kroes, 27, who did "abs, abs, lots of ab exercises all the time." Her body isn't quite the same now as it was pre-baby, and she hopes it never goes back. "I wish every woman can feel so sexy after birth. It's your body but it's also a feeling."
Her two worlds might not seem on the surface a perfect match, but they are, she said. "You get your hair and makeup done!"
She also has a lot of control over her schedule. Even if she needs to be on location for a few days, it'll never be longer, and then she'll have many days off, Kroes explained. "It's not a 9 to 5 job."
She often can bring Phyllon on set, although she only does that when working locally. "I don't want him to become a 'traveler' when he is still so young."
—Ambrosio
Her catwalk costumes are a little less risque now, but she's not ready to hang up the Brazilian-cup bras and short shorts. "I'm definitely more proud of my body now," she said. "Our bodies are changed as we get older, and I'm more conscious of it now. Now, I'm a woman doing the show, not a girl."
Part of that is giving up chocolate in the weeks before the show; she didn't always have to do that. Part of it is being able to walk in heels without teetering and she's also learned to ham it up for the camera and the audience.
Ambrosio got her Angel wings in 2004, when she was the first spokesmodel for the then-new Pink collection, which is loungewear geared for a more youthful customer. That's when she felt she was "a flirty and cheeky teenager" versus the sexy woman she is at age 30.
There might be a model in training at home in daughter Anja, who also loves to come to work with her.
"She loves dressing up, and there is always a lot of dress up here. There are wings — so much fun for her!"
—Kerr
Pilates, yoga, weight training with resistance bags. They were all key factors in Kerr's new-mom fitness routine, said the 28-year-old, and they're all things that can be done in her living room.
"I do have less time, but I do try to exercise every day. I exercise at home with my son playing around with his toys on the floor."
She says she hopes he's watching and that he'll learn to incorporate physical activity into his daily life without a thought. The same goes for a healthy diet.
Flynn is too young to watch the Victoria's Secret show now, of course, but Kerr will let him see her runway photos later.
"I'm sure he'll be happy his mom had wings."
Gorgeous Canadian girl hits Hollywood, becomes a major star, and suddenly is only in the news for drunk driving arrests.
But there may be a happy twist that's come out of Warren's recent woes.
When Warren first got here -- a 20-year-old, fresh-faced athlete and model who had been crowned Maxim's Hottest Woman in 2000 -- the powers that be scooped her up.
One of her first acting gigs was in the $100-million blockbuster, Planet of the Apes, starring Mark Wahlberg.
And let's not forget her hit movie Kangaroo Jack that came out in 2002 or those Victoria Secret underwear commercials.
Seemingly as quickly as they began, the movies and endorsements began drying up after her drunk driving arrest in 2007.
Reportedly, Warren was in such financial trouble last year that she had to rent out her Beverly Hills house and live elsewhere.
It got much worse for Warren on May 24 when the intoxicated star hit three parked cars with her Prius and fled the scene. When cops arrested her and put her in the back of their cruiser, she allegedly kicked one of them.
At the station, she slipped off her handcuffs and tried to escape.
Were boyfriend troubles adding to Warren's woes? She hadn't been seen with serious beau Eugene Barash since the spring.
Regardless, Warren was sentenced to six months in supervised rehab.
Unlike Lindsay Lohan, or other infamous stars known for repeated relapses, the 32-year-old Warren honestly seems to have been scared straight.
"I'm not drinking," Warren adamantly said the evening of Nov. 10 during a local party for Nylon magazine. She had been offered a glass of champagne from a server circulating the party.
"I'm not wasting my time with that any more."
Her attorney, Darren Kavinoky, was also upbeat in an interview with local media.
"She's doing fantastic," he said. "Her attitude has been stellar."
By the way, Warren's acting career is looking up.
After the low-budget movies she performed in during the past few years, including See You in September and a direct-to-DVD weird version of The Beauty and The Beast, she's now making Manson Girls.
It's the story of serial killer Charles Manson's female followers starring Taryn Manning. Warren plays Catherine (Gypsy) Share.
Once filming wraps, she must start learning her lines for No Way Out, a spy movie directed by Ray Loriga in which Warren is the star.
Every girl is entitled to a slip up. Warren is still young and beautiful.
And Hollywood loves a comeback story.
While others were scrambling for cut-rate waffle-iron deals the day after Thanksgiving, Paris Hilton was treating herself to one very expensive ride (and no, it doesn't look like it was on sale).
The 30-year-old heiress scooped up a red 2012 California Spyder Ferrari worth about $300,000 on Friday, a Hilton source confirms.
And the Hilton source confirms that confirmation.
"Just drove my new car for the first time," Hilton tweeted Friday. "Such a beautiful car and so much fun to drive! I love it! #YES! I ? Fast Cars!"
Our Hilton source tells E! News, "She decided to treat herself to an early Christmas gift. She worked very hard this year and just got home from traveling to 12 different countries to open her stores."
"Paris has always wanted a red Ferrari ever since being a little girl. She is a huge tomboy at heart and loves fast cars and bikes," the source says.
"She even has her own MotoGP racing team. Her team recently won the world MotoGP championships so she is celebrating!"
The Ferrari is the latest addition to the star's extensive car collection, which includes two Bentleys, a Range Rover, a hybrid Escalade and a Lexus LFA.
The Aussie star, nicknamed The Body, reveals she set up a nude shoot with photographer Herb Ritts after tabloids began to pester her ex-boyfriends for saucy shots once she bared all in the 1993 movie Sirens.
She tells Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper, "I said, 'OK, you want naked? I'll give you naked - but on my terms."
The tasteful nudes netted MacPherson a small fortune and set her on the path to building up her own business empire - and buying her mum a house: "I recognized that working for a business in which I did not have a profit share was not attractive."
The Kiss From A Rose hitmaker shares three biological children with the supermodel, and in 2009 he adopted Klum's daughter from a previous relationship, Leni.
The couple watched with delight as Bullock became a mother to son Louis, 22 months, last year - and Seal admits the actress has made them think about having another child.
He tells Britain's Closer magazine, "I was really inspired by Sandra Bullock, who we've become friends with. She came round with her adopted son and she's raising a little boy by herself. She's giving him a chance, but he doesn't know it yet, which is just awesome.
"We've talked about adopting. I've no idea where we'd adopt from but I think we will one day - just not yet."
Maggie Rizer gave birth to a son, Alexander Rafahi Mehran III, at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 23 near San Francisco.
Weighing in at 7 lbs., 13 oz., the new addition “has 10 fingers, 10 toes, sandy hair [and] deep blue eyes,” Rizer writes on her blog.
“Alex and I are very proud parents and incredibly excited to get to know our new little lad. We feel tremendously blessed this Thanksgiving!”
Zander, as he’s being called, is the first child for the model, 33, and her husband, businessman Alex Mehran, whom she wed in September 2010.
In testimony which illuminated the human costs of the illegal practice, Mary-Ellen Field described how she lost both her job for Macpherson and one at an advisory firm because of the unfounded suspicions — a double-blow that was all the more serious because she was in poor health.
"It had a very serious effect," she told the inquiry. "I had become ill and was falling down all the time." She didn't identify her illness.
Field said her relationship with Macpherson was once close, but it fell apart after the model's intimate secrets began appearing in the press in 2005. Macpherson became convinced that Field, a fellow Australian, was an alcoholic and ordered her to go to an American rehabilitation clinic.
Field said she was shocked by the allegations she was a drunk who'd been blabbing about her employer, but went along with Macpherson's recommendation because she needed her job.
"I have a severely disabled child who can never look after himself, so walking away from a high-paying position is not a good idea," Field said.
The rehab was grueling — she described it as being "like one of those CIA renditions, except they don't put you in chains" — but it didn't help the situation.
Even though staff at the clinic said Field was not an alcoholic, Macpherson fired her anyway, and Field lost her job at her firm shortly afterward. She told the inquiry there was no doubt the sacking was the result of what happened with Macpherson.
Although it has since emerged that the media leaks were the result of phone hacking by the News of the World tabloid, not any indiscretions, Field said she has not heard from Macpherson in years. Macpherson's office did not respond to emails sent by The Associated Press seeking comment.
Field was one of several victims of press intrusion testifying Tuesday at Britain's Royal Courts of Justice. The inquiry, headed by Lord Justice Brian Leveson, was set up by Prime Minister David Cameron after the scandal over phone hacking and other underhanded tactics used at the News of the World, which was closed in July amid allegations of widespread criminality. The inquiry plans to issue a report next year and could recommend major changes to the way the media in Britain are regulated.
Soccer player Garry Flitcroft told of his family's harassment by the media after the failure of a judicial bid to block news of his affair, saying that at one point journalists used a helicopter to track his movements.
Flitcroft said journalists "wanted to make a statement to me: 'Never take on the press again.'"
Margaret Watson, whose daughter Diane was stabbed to death at her Scottish school two decades ago, gave emotional evidence about the way in which her child's memory was smeared in the press. She demanded that English libel laws be extended to cover those who have passed away.
"Just because a person's died, their reputation shouldn't die with them," she said.
British comedian Steve Coogan also testified, claiming that Andy Coulson — who later went on to become British Prime Minister David Cameron's top media aide — had eavesdropped on a phone conversation he was having with a woman in a bid to trick him into making indiscretions.
The parents of murdered British schoolgirl Milly Dowler and film star Hugh Grant were the first victims to testify to the panel on Monday, with Grant being particularly scathing about the Mail on Sunday tabloid, which he suggested had hacked his phone.
The Daily Mail called Grant's allegations "mendacious smears driven by his hatred of the media," but that response in turn sparked outrage, with lawyers at the inquiry saying it smacked of an attempt to intimidate witnesses.
“The sales girls kept looking at [Miranda], and then at the displays with her photos. Which naturally are everywhere in the store,” the spy adds. Finally the spy and some customers confirmed to the staff that Kerr was in fact the same dream girl gracing the ads in her skivvies.
It was her late grandfather who first got her started...
"Our hobby was to go and drive around and look for cans on the side of the streets and we used to hop out and we used to just collect as many cans as we could and then recycle them," the E! reality starlet tells me. "That was the fun thing to do. I get it from my family. Recycling is a part of who I am."
She says she recycles "every single thing we have."
"I recycle baby Hank's clothes by donating them," Wilkinson-Baskett said. "I donate to women's shelters all the time. I'm a huge advocate for donating. I love to donate."
That's not all the Kendra I have for you. Make sure to come back here later on to find out what she has to say about this Sunday's season finale of her reality show.
The model and her husband, former NASCAR driver Burney Lamar, welcomed a son on Wednesday, People reports.
Rex Harrison was born at 11:03 a.m. and weighed 7 pounds, 5 ounces. No word on what inspired the name, but Rex Harrison is also the famed actor who played Prof. Henry Higgins in the big-screen adaptation of My Fair Lady.
Baby Rex joins sister Ciel, who's 2 1/2, and 16-year-old twin brothers Jake and Hunter, who are Taylor's children from a previous marriage.
Taylor wed Lamar in December 2006.
OWN announced Wednesday that it is launching a new reality show -- sorry, "docu-series" -- starring model Beverly Johnson.
The series, titled "Beverly's Full House," will chronicle Johnson's attempt to mend her strained relationship with her daughter Anansa -- also a model -- after she moves into mom's Palm Springs home in order to weather the tough economy.
Anansa's husband, David, and newborn daughter, Ava, are also along for the reality ride.
OWN's announcement promises that the series will be "humorous and heartfelt" -- as if there were any doubt.
Produced by Good Clean Fun (which brought the world "Harry Loves Lisa"), with Johnson executive-producing along with GCF's Jason Carbone and Nick Lee, "Beverly's Full House" will premiere in February.
It was Kanye West, Jay-Z and Maroon 5 who got the audience clapping and cheering at the annual lingerie extravaganza at the Lexington Avenue Armory, quite a feat considering they were sharing the stage with the some of the world's top models — in barely-there get-ups, no less.
The show, which also featured a song by Nicki Minaj, who was decked out in a bright orange bustier, cosmic-print skirt and leggings, and a frothy pink wig, will be televised on CBS on Nov. 29.
The worlds of fashion and music always come together on this runway, which is more for entertainment, excitement and brand-building than a serious preview of styles. It really clicked this time, though, when Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine escorted his girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna down the catwalk and then planted a kiss on her cheek.
She was wearing a push-up bra covered with a crystal-encrusted body overlay. Model Constance Jablonski strutted to "Moves Like Jagger" in an illusion beaded gown with a feather mermaid hemline, and Karlie Kloss wore a corset-style bodysuit covered in tropical colored beads.
A lot of the backstage buzz before the show was about West, who was originally scheduled for the 2007 show but pulled out after his mother's death. Doutzen Kroes and Chanel Iman were among the top Victoria's Secret models, dubbed VS Angels, who posed with him in their micro-mini pink satin robes and told him they expected his set to be a highlight of the night.
"I lost my super hero," he said when he eventually landed on the runway, "and now she's my super angel."
He started singing and that cued Alessandra Ambrosio to come out in a leather harness, push-up bra, thigh-high leather boots and a long, flowing cape splashed with the word "incredible" in cartoon-style letters trailing behind her. Lindsay Ellingson was on her heels in a leather bodysuit paired with silver wings and soon after came Erin Heatherton in a latex bodice and silver-dagger, weaponlike wings.
West then called out his "big bro" Jay-Z to come from backstage for the next song. Both rappers are known fans of sometimes flamboyant fashion, but West wore a brand new Versace for H&M jacket and black leather pants with a low-slung gold belt, and Jay-Z went the black hoodie with black jeans route.
The glitz instead came from Miranda Kerr's Fantasy Bra, studded with $2.5 million worth of diamonds. It was featured in a section of the show called "Angels Aquatic" that was a parade of mermaid goddesses in undergarments embellished with pearls and their wings crafted like shells.
The other fashion themes were ballet, which featured feathers, tutus, legwarmers attached to garters and lace-up stilettos; passion, interpreted in Spanish-style lace boleros and flamenco skirts; and Victoriana, with high tulle collars, parasols, cameo pins and big bustles attached to tiny panties. The finale, called Club Pink, was dedicated to the retailer's loungewear line with heart-covered hoodies, skirts decorated with pompoms and sequin T-shirts.
For Kroes, the show is a chance to play dress-up. It's all fun, she said. "You get your hair and makeup done, and you wear these beautiful, sexy things."
You may remember, the rapper was set to sing four years ago but backed out due to the sudden death of his mother, Donda West.
And he took a moment to remember her, before launching a surprise...
"In 2007, I was supposed to perform this song...then my mom passed away," Kanye told the crowd. "She was my superhero—now she's my superangel."
Awww. With that, West burst into a rendition of "Stronger," before asking a surprise friend to join him: Jay-Z. The crowd went wild as the rappers performed a duet from their Watch the Throne album.
Later, Maroon 5 crooner Adam Levine had a special moment of his own. While performing "Moves Like Jagger," he escorted supermodel girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna to the end of the runway, hand in hand.
Miranda Kerr's hubby Orlando Bloom didn't walk the carpet, but she said earlier that he'd be watching her from inside the venue.
Celebs on the carpet were eager to get to their seats and see all the stunners in the flesh up close, but La La Anthony did give us a quick update on her BFF Kim Kardashian.
"She's holding up, thank you," she told us as she rushed into the Lexington Armory.
"Everybody is talking about my crazy diet," she told me backstage this morning as she got glammed for tonight's catwalk.
The supermodel and hot mom recently admitted she sticks to liquids only ninedays before the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and stops drinking water for 12 hours before she hits the runway to drop the most weight.
But she defended the drastic measures, comparing herself to an athlete in training:
"I know it's very intense but...I just have an athlete's mind and I appreciate doing this thing," she told me. "It's not that I do crazy diets throughout the year. I just do it for this particular thing. After this show, I become normal again!"
In fact, she said she didn't work out quite as hard she normally does this time. "This year, even though my diet was intense, I took it a little bit easier on the working out so I won't be as muscular," she explained.
Adriana said after she's done strutting her stuff tonight, she'll celebrate with a big dinner at her favorite restaurant, Milos, with family and friends.
Fellow Angel Lily Aldrige told me she almost gave into carb temptation this morning at the buffet (yes, they actually had bagels backstage).
"I had scrambled eggs and one piece of turkey bacon," she said. "On the plane here, I had a bagel with cream cheese. I thought about having one this morning, then I thought I should wait until tomorrow."
Miranda Kerr, who will be wearing a $2.5 million diamond-encrusted bra in tonight's show where Kanye West, Maroon 5 and Nicki Minaj will perform, said she still gets a bit nervous before she walks the runway.
"I'm not nervous at the moment but I probably will be once the music starts and we're about to go on," she told me. "I'll get a few butterflies for sure!"
And no, she doesn't get the keep the super-expensive, blinged-out bra she'll be rocking.
"Not quite!" she laughed.
“In truth, I am a single mother. But I don’t feel alone at all in parenting my daughter,” the Top Chef host, whose support system includes extended family and friends, tells Yahoo! Shine.
“Krishna has a whole other side of her family who loves her, too. And so Krishna is parented by me, but also by her grandmother and aunts and cousins and uncles and friends.”
Admitting it certainly “takes a village” to raise a child, Lakshmi, 41, is thrilled her daughter is growing up in a diverse environment.
“The more who encompass her, the more different kinds of people who are in Krishna’s life, the better off she is,” she says.
Despite Lakshmi’s success in the spotlight, she maintains a tight circle of trust around her daughter and shields Krishna from the public eye — including Lakshmi’s Twitter followers.
“I never Tweet about my daughter. Never. I just want to be respectful of her privacy,” she explains. “My job as a mom is to know when to open my mouth and when not to.”
Taking her time to regain her body after baby, the first-time mom admits shedding the pregnancy pounds was a long — and difficult! — road.
“I wasn’t like those girls who give birth and are back on the runway,” she shares. ”It took me probably six months to gain 45 pounds and I would say it took me double that time to lose it.”
Fortunately, Lakshmi was able to quickly adapt to her new — and “very humbling” — motherhood curves.
“I did learn a new way to dress after I had [Krishna]. I was on the side of every bus in town [for Top Chef]. I was on billboards,” she recalls. ”And I was a size 14. And not that being a size 14 is even that big, but it was big for me … I went up 10 dress sizes in six months. I had no idea how to dress. I’d never worn Spanx before!”
In preparation for the big 26-mile(41.84-kilometer) day, Turlington Burns says she's found that no-frills exercise works in her busy days as wife and mother, model, businesswoman, master's degree student, documentary filmmaker and philanthropist. She says it's one of the few things that can be done anytime and anyplace, and she's thinking so hard about her cardio breathing that it's actually sort of relaxing.
"I think it just might be part of my routine now. It's part of my life, and I can't imagine not getting up and doing it."
Of course, modeling was her primary gig for many years with turns on every marquee runway and on the cover of every major magazine. At age 42, she still gets in front of the camera on a regular basis, so working out is, essentially, part of her job, and Turlington Burns has been an enthusiastic yoga practitioner for 25 years. She's been an on-again, off-again jogger, too, bringing her sneakers to London and Paris when she'd go for photo shoots, but she says she didn't fully appreciate the local color you can soak in from the sidewalk.
"I'm thinking I could rediscover all the cities I visit on my feet," she says during a telephone interview.
She took it up again in earnest this summer when the New York Road Runners club offered her charitable organization, Every Mother Counts, 10 spots in the marathon.
So, starting with three miles and hitting 12 or 13 after six weeks, the wife of actor-director Edward Burns and mother to daughter Grace and son Finn, was off and running. She stopped long enough to answer some questions for The Associated Press in a telephone interview.
—AP: Have you settled into a training routine?
Turlington Burns: "I prefer the morning — I have less energy at the end of the day. It's easier to blow off doing it once my kids come in the door. ... I've experimented with the clothes. In the beginning, it was all cotton T-shirts. That was all I had. But now I have the wickable shirts. And I'm always cold, so I had to figure out how to layer, and I'm still trying to figure out how many layers I can get away with. And I know I have to eat before I run, so I've been eating a banana with almond butter. It's filling enough, it's protein, it's good fuel."
—AP: Have you seen the paparazzi photos of you on your morning jog?
Turlington Burns: "There have been a couple of photographers on my training run. I don't usually attract them, but they're in my neighborhood. I usually just kind of look at my feet. It's more embarrassing than anything else. ... But I won't be thinking about them, I don't think, at the end of 26.2 miles."
—AP: How does the marathon fit with Every Mother Counts' message about access to health care for expectant and new mothers and their children?
Turlington Burns: "In maternal health, distance makes a huge difference, and this is a perfect way to explain that. Five K is the minimum distance a woman has to walk to get to a clinic in many places, and in many places that could be 35K. You'd be surprised that it could be this way in the U.S., but a lot of hospitals have closed. ... Whenever I travel, I note whether there's a paved road or not, if there's emergency transportation or not. Sometimes it's a bicycle with a flatbed on the back."
—AP: Do you use social media?
Turlington Burns: "Social media and Twitter have been really helpful to get our message out. I follow everyone I can in the maternal-health world, and I can see articles I wouldn't normally get to see, but I'm not a tweeter by nature but I was asked to start — or convinced — to start right before my film ("No Woman, No Cry," about at-risk pregnant women in four parts of the world) came out last year. It took me six months to do and I said I'd only tweet about my issue, but now with my run, I tweet about that, and yoga, too. It's all wellness and health oriented. I don't talk about my favorite latte."
—AP: How closely do you follow fashion now?
Turlington Burns: "Very, very little — only because it's time-consuming. I haven't worked full time as a model since '95. The stuff I do takes about 15-20 days a year, and those jobs are when I catch up with what everyone is doing. After so many years, the novelty has worn off. I can appreciate it, but I don't covet any fashion items at all."
Klum dressed as an ape along with her husband, Seal, but sources told us her late arrival was due to her punishing schedule and complex costumes. A source told us she was in makeup at 6 a.m. dressed as Regis Philbin for “Live with Regis and Kelly,” then washed all that off to appear on Jimmy Fallon at 5 p.m. as herself.
She then raced back to her hotel to get into the ape costume. “This was a serious process. It wasn’t a costume you could just put on. Each hair was applied individually. It was painstaking work and took a long time,” a source told us. Klum arrived at PH-D just before midnight and stayed past 4 a.m.
But stars including Fergie (dressed as a “Toddlers and Tiaras” star), T yson Beckford (action man), Michelle Trachtenberg (Sally from “The Nightmare Before Christmas”), Jonathan Cheban (a devil) and Amber Rose (Slash) did get there to party at the Smartwater-sponsored bash.
Meanwhile, over at Meatpacking hot spot Catch, Kerr held court as a 1940s lion tamer in a skimpy outfit far easier to put on, and take off, than Klum’s. Also at Kerr’s rival supermodel soiree were Kate Upton, Russell Simmons and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino.
But Kerr’s husband, Orlando Bloom, who roamed the city incognito in a mask with his guy friends, didn’t attend Kerr’s party. He was spotted at Scott Lipps and Nur Khan’s bash at the Gallery at Dream Downtown with music from Mark Ronson. Others mingling with the models included Rangers star Henrik Lundqvist and Byrdie Bell.
In addition to Heidi Klum and Miranda Kerr's costume parties in the Big Apple, Kanye West and model Anja Rubik threw their own spooky soiree last night at The Darby.
So whose shindig was the best?
Kanye's fete had quite the impressive guest list. Bumblebee Beyoncé and Naomi Campbell were just a few of the bold-faced names who turned out for his party.
Some revelers, such as Michelle Trachtenberg and Jersey Shore's Vinny Guadagnino, opted to hit both Kanye's and Heidi Klum's bash at PH-D inside the Dream Downtown (her second costumed get-together of the spooky holiday season), while Fergie, dressed as a toddler pageant queen, made Heidi's party her only stop of the night.
The hostess and her hubby Seal were tardy for their own party and didn't arrive until nearly 1 a.m., as they were working on their intricate matching gorilla get-ups. The couple said their primate outfits took nearly 6 hours to complete!
Fortunately, they made it work.
Meanwhile, Miranda Kerr held her own fete at on the rooftop of Catch. Hubby Orlando Bloom was MIA as the Victoria's Secret supermodel wore a sexy ringmaster costume. Partygoers such as Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, dressed as a policeman, sipped Voli cocktails.
Back in L.A., Adam Levine's annual graveyard bash with his own supermodel girlfriend was the place to be.
Guests such as Christina Aguilera, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Lauren Conrad and Leona Lewis all danced with the dead inside the Hollywood Forever Cemetery at the carnival-themed soiree.
Christina, a fellow judge with Adam on The Voice, made a beeline to offer her host a toast after she entered.
Sounds like a great Halloween!
“I’ve always gone really scary [and] put a Grim Reaper in the corner with a low light over it, but you can’t do that with kids,” the Possessing Piper Rose star, 38, says during a Monday appearance on The Talk.
“You know how you can go in two different directions for Halloween? Really scary or really cute Halloween — I’m now going really cute Halloween!”
Although Dolly and Charlie, 2½, have already planned their costumes — a princess and a cowboy — Romijn admits they’re not completely sold on all of the holiday’s festivities.
“I’ve been taking them to get manicures and [Dolly's] been painting her nails black,” she reveals. “All of a sudden [she] decided that everything Halloween is too scary. She’s been taking all of the pumpkins off the porch and putting them on the side of the house.”
Debuting a toned and slim figure, Romijn shares she recently shed her final pregnancy pounds.
“I’d gotten very fluffy for the whole childbearing experience. You do that when you get pregnant, and then you find out you’re having twins, then you’re nursing them for eight months, and then you’re finishing up their meals,” she explains.
“I had forgotten how much I was really supposed to be eating … and then fast food started making its way into their diets and I felt like I was getting lazy about food preparation.”
Ultimately, Romijn turned to a healthier diet and Bikram yoga to reach her goal. “I cut out starch, dairy and sugar for the last few months,” she says. “It’s been hard.”
As mom Romijn achieves her weightloss goal, the girls are hitting a milestone of their own: potty training! “I’m doing something that I shouldn’t be doing, which is bribing them with M&M’s,” she laughs. “But it’s do or die at this point!”
However, Dolly and Charlie are only willing to accept the sweet treat on their own terms!
“I’m like, ‘If you go pee pee on the potty, you get an M&M,’ and they keep going, ‘On a plate?’” she shares. “So every time they go I get the biggest plate I can find [and] put one in the middle of it.”
Possessing Piper Rose airs Monday at 10 p.m. on Lifetime.
As the sheet lifted, Klum's body appeared, showing off every muscle as if her skin was ripped off.
"This is my 13th Halloween party," she later said. "This year I wanted to be a dead person."
The Bodies: The Exhibition-style costume that rendered the supermodel unrecognizable was compromised of a painted body suit and the makeup on her face took three-and-a-half hours.
"In our house it's Halloween all year round," says Klum, who's married to singer Seal with four children. "It's not as scary but (my kids) love dressing up. Look at their mom. She's always dressing up. It runs in the family."
The party on Saturday was the first of two that Klum is hosting for Halloween. Her second party will be Monday at PHD inside The Dream in New York City.
The star-struck IMG catwalker -- who’s been in Tom Ford and Calvin Klein shows, and brought Disney Channel star Brandon Smith as her date -- obliged, and the pair then posed for pictures with their heads touching. Tookes’ fellow models Lily Aldridge, Chanel Iman and Lily Donaldson also made the scene.
Klum, famous for her over-the-top costumes, will be at PH-D at the Dream Downtown on Monday, after throwing a bash at Tao in Vegas.
Meanwhile, Kerr, dressed as a sexy ringmaster at new Meatpacking hot spot Catch Roof on Monday, will be doing her utmost to outshine Klum, who handed Kerr her wings as Victoria’s Secret’s top model when she retired from the catwalk show last year.
Stylist and model expert on new E! show “Scouted,” Dani Stahl told us, “This Halloween will be the ultimate ‘who wore it best’ -- a true costume throwdown.” Referencing Ben Stiller’s 2001 comedy, she added, “Not since rival supermodels Zoolander and Hansel squared off in ‘Zoolander’ has there been such an epic supermodel battle. Models are always in competitive mode to get the job and be No. 1.”
Australian beauty Kerr will host a circus-themed bash for 200, dressed as a 1940s ring- master, “whip and all,” we are told.
Klum, who has hosted Halloween parties for 10 years, is going for a scary look and has been spotted at the office of her dentist, Dr. Gregg Lituchy, getting custom-made fangs. A source told us, “Heidi has had fangs molded that will be attached to her teeth on Monday. She takes this very seriously.” Klum, also hosting an online virtual costume party for Unicef, told us, “I’m a triple threat this year!”
Meanwhile, another woman well-known for her body of work, Kim Kardashian, is hosting the Midori Green Saturday night Halloween soiree at Lavo. And she’ll be stepping out in a Poison Ivy costume, we’re told.
Model Halloween parties have been a tradition since Naomi Campbell’s wild and glam bashes of the late ’90s with fellow supermodels Kate Moss and Linda Evangelista.
In Sydney to film "The Great Gatsby," the star was photographed entertaining an unidentified beauty at his waterfront Sydney mansion earlier in the week -- and on Thursday The (Sydney) Daily Telegraph revealed his companion was underwear model Madalina Ghenea.
Ghenea is one of Italy's hottest underwear models -- considered in that country to be one of the most beautiful women in the world.
The Romanian-born model, once the girlfriend of Italian pop star Eros Ramazzotti, is the third woman to be linked to DiCaprio since he split from US actress Blake Lively in early October.
The actor, 36, was reportedly seeing young Australian models Alyce Crawford, 21, and Kendal Schuler, 20.
DiCaprio has been living in Sydney since August while filming the remake of the F. Scott Fitzgerald classic.
The outfit, called “Visible Woman,” was hand-painted by designer Martin Izquierdo and is what Klum will wear this weekend when she hosts a Halloween party at TAO Nightclub at the Venetian in Las Vegas. (The Project Runway host will celebrate again Monday during a HobNob Wines-sponsored bash at PH-D Rooftop Lounge in New York’s Dream Downtown hotel.)
Klum admits that Halloween is her favorite holiday, and it shows: In the past several years, the party hostess has dressed up as an apple from the Garden of Eden, Lady Godiva and, in 2010, a larger-than-life superhero. So she suggests going all out when creating your own disguise.
“The amazing thing about creating your own costume,” she explains, “is that you can be sure no one else has the same.” Tell us: What are you wearing for Halloween this year?
"Three weeks in, I am good," she told PEOPLE Thursday night at the eBay Inspiration Shop in New York. "I am trying to learn how to cook. I learned how to cook Thanksgiving, but never learned how to cook for two people. So that, for married life, is my next venture."
So far, the process is going fairly well; the Project Accessory host said she'd made grilled salmon salad, carrot-and-parsnip mash and a cauliflower and Parmesan dish all this week. "We ordered Chinese last night, though," she admitted.
However, learning by trial and error also has its challenges: Sims was sporting a burn she received when her blender full of cauliflower and Parmesan "exploded everywhere." That she said has her likely turning to a pro for help soon. "I was just with Giada [De Laurentiis] on Tuesday and she offered to give me a lesson," Sims shared. "I think I may take her up on it."
She's not letting a burn stop her, though. Sims is planning to cook Thanksgiving dinner for her family when they head down to Mexico for the holiday. "I'm going to bring the south to Mexico," she joked.
Reflecting on her September wedding to producer Scott Stuber, Sims said the day was "so fun. I can't believe it's over. It just went so fast, and we had the best time." In fact, she wouldn't mind reliving it again. "I said to the wedding planners, 'I think I'm just going to hire you because I can't let you go.'"
And as for that gorgeous Marchesa gown, Sims said she's having it preserved so she can hold onto it for years to come. "Hopefully one day, knock on wood, I'll have a little baby girl to pass it down to," she said.
Kerr will return to Victoria’s Secret’s annual fashion show this year, having been pregnant during last year’s event. She’ll wear a $2.5 million diamond and pearl-encrusted bra for the show airing Nov. 29 on CBS.
As TMZ previously reported, Von Teese sued her former landlord -- a guy named Lallubhai Patel -- claiming he refused to cough up her deposit when she decided to move ... then "went on Mel Gibson-like Anti-Semitic tangents, personally attacking [Dita's] Jewish managers."
Patel filed a countersuit, claiming Dita -- who's represented by attorney Keith Fink -- caused thousands of dollars worth of damage to the property -- and that's why he refused to refund her deposit.
But a judge just ruled in Dita's favor by default -- finding her landlord ignored multiple court orders to provide essential information in the case. In other words, he fell off the map.
The landlord is now on notice to return Dita's $5,000 security deposit -- and once the judge enters a formal judgment in Dita's favor (a mere technicality) he'll have to pay up ... or else.
The blonde socialite and entrepreneur proved she's still relevant somewhere when she walked the catwalk this weekend for fashion designer Andre Tan in Kiev, Ukraine.
The heiress strutted her stuff in a yellow cleavage-revealing gown and black Louboutin heels—an ensemble that (at least) Paris approved of when she tweeted: "Just finished walking the Andre Tan Runway Show. So much fun! Loved my dress! Hot!"
In classic Paris fashion, the blonde then took to the town, again tweeting: "on my way to my party at Byblos."
Although a reputed success in the Ukraine, Paris has had a more difficult time in the U.S. Her most recent Oxygen reality show, The World According to Paris, was dropped due to poor ratings.
After an ABC News interview gone wrong, in which Paris walked out when reporter Dan Harris asked whether she felt Kim Kardashian was overshadowing her, it seems that even Paris may be starting to notice her increasing irrelevance.
A woman named Jill Gatsby claims she was trying to pick up her 5-year-old kid from an L.A. elementary school on September 28 ... but when she couldn't find a parking spot, she moved some trash cans in front of a nearby home from the street onto the sidewalk to make room for her car.
That's when Gatsby claims "a lady" came out of the home ... and became aggressive. Gatsby claims she whipped out her cell phone to record the incident, but "the lady" snatched the phone out of her hand ... and smacked her in the face with it.
Jill claims the woman proceeded to beat her mercilessly ... causing a concussion and a severe back injury.
Here's the rub -- Jill claims in her lawsuit that she had no idea who "the lady" was at the time of the attack ... and only determined her to be Janice Dickinson after conducting "an Internet search."
But law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... there is "no evidence" that Dickinson was involved and she is not a suspect.
TMZ also spoke with Janice ... who tells us, "In no way shape or form was I present during this alleged altercation."
While in Sydney filming The Great Gatsby for director Baz Luhrmann, DiCaprio, 36, has been a frequent guest at the Beach Haus nightclub, where he's been loving "meeting the Aussie girls," a club insider tells Australia's WHO magazine.
Sydney's Daily Telegraph reported earlier this month that the hunky star was "really into" Alyce Crawford, 21, a former contestant on the Australian version of America's Next Top Model, but a rep for DiCaprio told PEOPLE he is not dating the model.
Days later, the same newspaper reported that DiCaprio was also seeing model Kendal Schuler, 20.
The pair had previously met in Los Angeles. Schuler's agent told Who he has "absolutely no comment" on the rumored romance.
Meanwhile, a source tells PEOPLE, "Leo is shooting Gatsby and that's about it. The gossips are on overdrive. They have linked him to half of Australia at this point."
The Wild Orchid star wed first husband Rourke in 1992 and in her new memoir, Beauty, Disrupted, she admits she nearly lost her life when the actor's gun, which he carried for safety, discharged and sent a bullet whizzing into her chest.
And Otis admits she kept the terrifying incident a secret for years so as to not attract bad publicity.
In an excerpt from the book in the New York Post, she explains, "We were almost at the restaurant when I looked down and saw a .357 Magnum on the floor near my feet... Mickey parked the car and leaned towards me, his voice soft but firm. 'Otis, remember, it's for our protection. I am sorry, though. I'll talk to the guys about putting these things away.'
"What I didn't know was that he thought it would be a good idea to stash the gun inside my bag."
The couple ate dinner and returned home, where she then put her purse down in the kitchen.
She continues, "I slung my bag off my shoulder and tossed it onto the counter. Boom! A tremendous noise reverberated through the kitchen... And just then I noticed that everyone was staring at me, their eyes widening. I stood there, suspended in time. My head reeled. I began to sway slowly from side to side... I looked down at my bluejeans, my white shirt, and my black leather jacket. What was this strange red puddle flowing out around me in an eerily perfect circle?
"I looked back up at the guys, confused and bewildered... I gasped, and then a wild scream erupted from me. The gun in my purse, the one without a safety, had discharged the second I'd slung my bag onto the counter.
"I wailed. It hurt so much to move. 'This is a nightmare. Clean this up!' Mickey was agitated. I could tell he had grave concerns that the press would get wind of the incident. I panicked, wondering which was more important: my life or covering up the fact that I'd been shot with Mickey Rourke's gun?"
"I had been hit with a hollow-point bullet. It was a miracle I was alive - never mind alive with my arm still attached to my body! The bullet had entered just two inches from my heart. The police questioned me, but no charges were filed."
The middle JoBro recently partied with his ex Ashley Greene in Las Vegas, and this week, he cozied up to a model and singer in NYC.
The singer seemed very into model and musician Sky Ferreira during the CK One Shock soiree at Gunbar. "He was super flirty and they hung out the whole night," an eyewitness tells me.
So what do we know about the new possible object of Joe's affection?
Like Joe, 19-year-old Sky is multitalented and describes herself as a model, songwriter, singer and actress.
And while she wasn't in Twilight like Ashley, she has a vampire connection herself.
Her single Obsession was featured on the second season of The Vampire Diaries and included on the show's soundtrack.
Designer Marc Jacobs‘s spring/summer 2012 collection for Louis Vuitton, presented in the Louvre’s Cour Carrée in Paris as a tableaux with 48 models descending on a slow-turning white carousel, left his audience largely speechless, continuing to build word that the designer is destined for Christian Dior.
“It was poetic. Amazing and magical,” Olivia Wilde told PEOPLE. “I’ve seen fashion shows before but this was my first Paris show of this size, this beauty. I’ve never seen anything like this in my life before.”
Uma Thurman, who sat front row alongside beau Arpad Busson, was equally enthusiastic, summarizing the eight-minute show as “magic. Dreamgirls. Serendipity. It was beautiful.”
“It had such a positive message,” model Natalia Vodianova added. “The clothes were absolutely lovely and the carousel … the music was so much about innocence and childhood. I so much enjoy watching the shows — but this is one that I wished I had walked.’”
With Nicole Richie, Joel Madden, Abbie Cornish and Rachel Zoe joining Wilde, Vodianova and Thurman in the front row — not to mention every LMVH decision maker and Dior president and CEO Sidney Toledano in attendance — Jacobs presented pieces demonstrating his mastery of technology.
As the carousel turned, models including Kate Moss stepped one after another from their ponies to show off signature laser-cut and embossed leathers, silk chambray in pastels, exotic leather motorcycle jackets worn with maillot de bain as well as beaded dresses with enough understated elements to convince anyone Jacobs is more than up to the task of Dior’s couture work.
The designer himself was pleased. “I wanted something magical, this is what I expected and I loved it,” he affirmed afterward. The inspiration, he added, “was a carousel I see every year in the spring here in Paris’s Tuileries Gardens.
“But the carousel was also a metaphor for fashion,” he added. “The way it goes round and round … and how there is no end to fashion. How it’s a beautiful ride. And there is no end to its beauty.”
With speculation rampant that Jacobs will soon be officially announced to head France’s most prestigious couture house, the designer would not dismiss reports. “I don’t have anything to say about Dior,” he told PEOPLE. “This is a Louis Vuitton show. I work for Louis Vuitton.”
Jacobs’s refusal to discuss reports that he is being offered $10 million to move from Vuitton to Dior did not stop backstage talk, though. “This,” one fashion insider opined, “was a show which said: ‘The sky’s the limit.’ Draw your own conclusions. This is exactly what Dior needs after Galliano — it was beauty, not chic. It was about beautiful clothing, made with passion. It is was what Dior needs now.”
“This was a couture show which demonstrates he can do Dior,” added veteran fashion reporter Madeleine Czigler. “This was a perfect test drive meant to show, ‘Yes, I can do Dior.’ And after seeing it, there isn’t a question in anyone’s mind that he can do the job.”
Here's the lowdown. Remember when the Burglar Bunch stole $2.8 million worth of jewelry from Paris' Hollywood Hills home back in 2008? And remember when cops recovered most of it and then returned it to Paris?
Turns out ... some of the stolen jewelry was on loan from Damiani, a fancy schmancy jewelry shop, and their insurance company thought the Damiani jewelry was part of the stash the cops returned to Paris.
Paris insisted she didn't get the Damiani jewels back, so the insurance company filed a lawsuit against Paris for the items.
But we've learned the insurance company now believes Paris was telling the truth all along, and never got the jewels in question back from the cops.
So it's case closed. Score one for Paris.
The pair have been dating since last year following the breakdown of her marriage to Arun Nayar, who she divorced in June.
Now the Bedazzled star looks set to walk down the aisle again after her Aussie beau proposed during a romantic break in Scotland.
According to Britain's Daily Mail, Warne popped the question during dinner at the Old Course Hotel in St Andrews, where they attended the Alfred Dunhill Links golf championship.
A source tells the publication, "Shane proposed over dinner and it was fairly public, not a private affair.
"It was a VIP crowd in there this evening. It was residents only, including Dunhill past players.
"He didn't get down on one knee, but when it was announced the other guests in the restaurant stood up and applauded. Everyone there was absolutely delighted."
We chatted with the mega-mogul mama yesterday at the launch of her new fragrance, Shine, in West Hollywood...
When we asked the Project Runway host whether husband Seal prefers Shine or her natural scent, the always flirty Ms. Klum didn't miss a beat.
She smiled, "Or after you know what?"
How about wearing Shine while doing, well, you know what? "It's very, very sensual and that's what I wanted," Klum said.
Speaking of good times with the hubby, Klum says they've already decided on their costumes for her annual Halloween party. "It's going to be a little bit hairy," she teased.
We could only imagine.
The reality star recently took out a $1 million insurance policy on her breasts with Lloyd's of London insurance company, she confirmed to PEOPLE exclusively.
Madison, 31, said she did it to protect herself and others who appear in her Las Vegas production, Peepshow.
"I've heard about people getting body parts insured and I thought, why not?, because if anything happened to my boobs, I'd be out for a few months and I'd probably be out a million dollars," she said. "I thought I'd cover my assets."
Literally.
Madison appears topless during segments of the Vegas show, which, in her mind, made the insurance policy necessary. She also comprehends the quirkiness of it all.
"I think it's kind of funny. I think they're getting the credit they deserve," she said. "They're my primary money makers right now."
To read more about Madison – and other stars who have taken out insurance policies on their body parts – pick up this week's PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.
The catwalker, Alana Zimmer, has front-row fashionistas buzzing about what some see as a too skinny frame.
It was at the Gianfranco Ferrè show on Monday where Zimmer caused a stir. Marching down the runway in a barely there low-cut black dress, Zimmer stood out not for the clothing, but because her bones were protruding.
The uproar in Milan stems from the 2006 ban imposed by fashion mecca on models deemed overly thin. Catwalkers were required to have a body mass index of 18.5, and if they didn't meet requirements, they couldn't walk.
No word on whether Zimmer managed to make that requirement. Her agency did not immediately return E! News' calls seeking comment.
According to local Indian reports, the woman immediately began asking photogs if anyone could break it into smaller bills -- we're guessing it's not very safe to walk around the slums with that much cash.
And get this -- sources close to Paris tell TMZ ... after the $100 incident, Paris was so emotional about the poverty situation in India, she decided to give away all of the cash she was carrying on her at the time to other poor people in the area ... more than $2,000 in total.
Paris -- who's in India to launch some new Paris Hilton stores -- later tweeted about the incident .... saying, "India is beautiful, but some parts are very poverty stricken. Broke my heart to see babies sleeping on the streets."
Lima was out for a good time and ordered a kamikaze on the rocks, say spies. But when her drink arrived, the sources said, she asked for a bit more vodka, as the first cocktail attempt wasn’t mixed right for her. “She took a shot of tequila but refused to do so without salt,” a witness added.
But when Tyra Banks recently saw a photo posted by a fan promoting the release of her book, it meant so much that the tears started flowing when she talked about it.
"You forget that people are gonna be excited about (the book) and are gonna read it," she said. "That was really touching to see that ... especially for something new. I'm new at this. I've never written a fiction book before and that really touched me."
"Modelland", which is now in stores, is the first of a three-book young adult series. It follows an awkward teen named Tookie De La Creme who gets invited to attend an elite academy called Modelland.
It makes sense why Banks would want to write a book for young adults. The 37-year-old Banks has an affinity toward empowering young women.
"That's an audience that I personally am passionate about. I feel like young girls in particular are going through that transition into adulthood and there's a lot of self-doubt, there's a lot of insecurity, there's a lot of self-acceptance issues when they look in the mirror at their reflection and they don't necessarily feel good enough or that they measure up," Banks said.
"Modelland" isn't a tell-all about the industry. There are some parallels to Banks' own experience in the business.
"It's inspired by my life and experiences in fashion and modeling," she said. "My successes as well as a lot of pain I had to go through."
The book also addresses topics that Banks featured on daytime's "The Tyra Banks Show," which ran for five seasons and wrapped in 2010.
"I still talk about insecurities. I have a girl in 'Modelland' who is a cutter. I had many shows about that," Banks said. "There's bulimia, anorexia, all these things that are touched upon in 'Modelland' that I used to touch upon on my talk show."
Hollywood is already interested in the series. Banks said she was approached by a successful film producer shortly after it was announced that she was publishing the book.
"I would love to open up the 'Modelland' casting to the world," she said. "I'm looking for an Everygirl to possibly play one of the characters in the story."
Banks, who is enrolled at Harvard Business School, said she'd love to produce films one day.
"That's what I was going to go to college for," she said. "I've done the TV thing and will continue to do so, but the idea of films is pretty amazing."
Banks' other TV show, "America's Next Top Model," recently premiered its 17th season as an All-Star edition.
Paris' lawyer showed up to a Vegas courtroom today for a progress hearing -- a year after Paris pled guilty to cocaine possession -- and the judge was ecstatic ... claiming Paris was only supposed to do 200 hours of community service ... but clocked a grand total of 228.
Paris also paid $2,000 in fines and successfully completed an "intensive" substance abuse program -- so the case is closed.
On to the next one.
While most mere mortals feel the full force of the law (or at least the radar gun) when their MPH inches up past the legal limits, speeding tickets seem to be just one more thing Gisele Bündchen is immune to.
At least, if her run-in with state police over the weekend is anything to go by.
Tom Brady's wife was cruising around Barnstable, Mass., Saturday, when a state trooper clocked her Cadillac SUV going about 70 mph in a 55 zone. And yes, her two children were buckled safely in the back seat.
After pulling her over—and presumably realizing who she was—the officer gave Bundchen a verbal warning, reminding her that that particular stretch of Cape Cod roadway had a lower speed limit than most, before sending her on her way.
So did Gisele get special treatment?
Well, despite having "a brief discussion" while pulled over, police spokesman David Procopio told the Boston Globe, "There was no, 'I'm Tom Brady's wife.'"
Furthermore, he said that the officer gave verbal warnings not only to Gisele, but to four other drivers that day, proving that there was no special treatment given.
"She received the same treatment as the other four drivers who were stopped under similar circumstances. She was slightly over the speed limit. There was no other dangerous behavior. There were no lane violations, no swerving, no aggressive driving—just driving too fast."
Well, that's understandable. You live life in the fast lane long enough, you probably want to drive in it, too.
She's Canadian, sure, but she's supposed to be living in a treatment center in Los Angeles for another couple months, as part of her sentence for driving under the influence.
Actually, Warren has a really good reason for heading east (and north), something that even a judge would have to be in agreement with!
Warren has secured a weekend pass from rehab to attend the Rally for Kids With Cancer as a celebrity sponsor, an event organizer confirmed to E! News.
According to Warren's lawyer, she will make the trip to Toronto with a sober companion from the treatment facility.
No word on whether the former Victoria's Secret model will be attending the Celebrity Draft Party cocktail reception before the race, which benefits the SickKids Foundation and the Hospital for Sick Children.
But there are plenty of other events scheduled over the weekend, including a brunch and meetings with the kids, that sound pretty safe for a celeb on leave from rehab to participate in.
Determined to "make it all right, " according to her lawyer, Warren voluntarily checked into rehab and strapped herself into a SCRAM ankle bracelet following one of her lesser moments: her May 23 arrest on suspicion of DUI, hit-and-run, resisting arrest and battery on a peace officer.
She was sentenced to four months in residential rehab and five years of informal probation after she pleaded no contest to DUI in August. The other charges were dismissed as part of the deal.
The NBC series, which begins its final season Oct. 21, has signed Rebecca Romijn -- Mystique in the first three "X-Men" movies -- for a guest role as a rogue CIA agent named Robin Cunnings, EW reports. The character is described as cold, calculating and enamored of harsh interrogation techniques.
Robin and a group of fellow agents are also apparently not happy about Chuck (Zachary Levi), Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) and Co. having taken their spy operation to the private sector. They hatch a plan to frame Chuck for a very serious crime.
Romijn currently stars in the Adult Swim comedy "NTSF:SD:SUV." Her other credits include "Ugly Betty," "Pepper Dennis" and "Eastwick"; she also had a brief cameo in "X-Men: First Class" as an older version of Mystique (played by Jennifer Lawrence).
Internet security firm McAfee said searching for downloads and screensavers for the "Project Runaway" judge and former Victoria's Secret model runs a nearly one in 10 chance of landing on a malicious website with spyware, spam, phishing and other viruses designed to steal personal information.
CNN talk show host Piers Morgan, also a judge on "America's Got Talent" and a former British tabloid newspaper editor, was the most dangerous male celebrity in the survey, produced annually by McAfee.
McAfee said cyber criminals often used the name of popular celebrities to lure people to websites that are laden with malicious software.
It said singers and sports stars tended to be safer searches than movie stars and models. Cameron Diaz topped the cyberspace danger list in 2010, and was No. 2 this year.
"While slightly safer than last year, searching for top celebrities continues to generate risky results," said Paula Greve, director of Web security research at McAfee.
"Consumers should be particularly aware of malicious content hiding in 'tiny' places likes shortened URLs that can spread virally in social networking sites, or through e-mails and text messages."
Making news headlines does not seem to be a factor. Charlie Sheen was ranked 59 in the 2011 list, despite his acrimonious departure from television show "Two and A Half Men", and Lindsay Lohan was 18th despite being in an out of court and jail again this year.
The five most dangerous celebrities in cyberspace, according to McAfee are: 1. Heidi Klum, 2. Cameron Diaz, 3. Piers Morgan, 4. Jessica Biel, 5. Katherine Heigl.
While most designers and supermodels are busy on the Fashion Week scene in NYC, a slew of stars hit London last night to celebrate Stella McCartney's birthday.
Kate Moss, Kate Hudson, Matthew Bellamy, Bono, her dad, Paul McCartney, and many more were on hand at Asprey House for the fete.
And for someone who just gave birth mere months ago, Kate Hudson was looking like one hot mama...
Rocking a backless peach Elie Saab dress and sky-high Jimmy Choos, the actress looked like she's already back to her pre-pregnancy body already after giving birth to son Bingham. She showed off her toned, tanned legs as she exited the car with her baby daddy in tow.
Kate Moss also dared to bare, choosing a backless, strapless number with a huge bow across her cleavage. Unlike Hudson, she left her rocker hubby, Jamie Hince, at home last night.
Stella herself opted for sequins, sporting a blue sparkly dress and a bun.
When you're the birthday girl, you're allowed to be the blingiest dressed at the bash!
Giving readers a play-by-play of a typical scenario of "spontaneous" sex between her and Baskett, Wilkinson explains in her new book Being Kendra that "as parents, now we have to try to fit in sex whenever we can."
"In a nutshell, that's my new sex life as a mom," writes the star of E!'s Kendra, 26. "But I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world."
Wilkinson, who refuses to "buy into that whole belief that married couples don't have sex," doesn't ever plan to eliminate lovemaking from the relationship altogether.
"I try to keep my marriage exciting and make sure Hank is happy," she says. "He's my support system."
Campbell and her boyfriend, Russian billionaire Vladislav Doronin, are going to be honored at the annual Angel Ball, which supports cancer research.
"She really is amazing woman and she does a lot for charity. She has her own charity. She raised a lot of money this summer for Haiti and for AIDS relief," said Denise Rich, the songwriter who started the Angel Foundation after her daughter, Gabrielle, died of leukemia.
Rich spoke about Campbell during a party hosted at her home Saturday night. It was co-hosted by Jade Jagger. Tina and Solange Knowles were also in attendance, as was Rich's best friend, singer Natalie Cole.
Cole said people should not be shocked that Campbell, who has pleaded guilty several times to assault, is being honored, and that the model is misunderstood: "She has been behaving herself. She is a good girl. I think there are just certain people who get on her nerves and I understand that."
The Angel Ball will be held on October 17 and will feature performances by Patti LaBelle and Eve.
Klum, who palled around with Siriano backstage, sat front row with fellow famous faces Corinne Bailey Rae, Modern Family's Sarah Hyland and actress Monet Mazur.
So what does the designer appreciate most about his supermodel pal and mentor? "She's a tough critic...She's like, ‘I wouldn't wear that, but I would wear this.' And I think that's so real and perfect."
Total honesty from Miss Auf Wiedersehen? We wouldn't expect it any other way!
The contestants on Heidi Klum's hit reality series filmed their finale today during Fashion Week at the Lincoln Center tents, and the supermodel tells us she knew the winner (in her mind, anyway) the minute she saw the collection coming down the runway.
So did she give us any hints?
"I do have a favorite," she told us following the show today. "But I can't tell you who. But I definitely have one outstanding winner. I just have to see if the others feel the same way."
As far as good omens go, we spotted Klum, dressed in a barely there sequined black romper, mouthing to Kors during the shows that she would wear a few of the designs coming down the runway—but she said that doesn't necessary give any clues about her favorite designers.
"It's not always about if I would wear it, but for me there is a clear winner there," Klum said. "You can never really compare them [the different seasons]—they're all different people with different points of view. I think you saw some great fashion today, but for me there's one clear winner there."
Meanwhile, designer and Runway judge Michael Kors certainly wasn't giving any hints, gushing that he loved all the looks, which he described as ranging from "tough and hard-edged to romantic and soft."
And though the former Victoria's Secret model looked phenomenal as always, Heidi told us she only got a few hours of shut-eye last night.
"It's Fashion Week, you just go go go," she said.
And speaking of fashion, who knew Klum was a fan of the Kardashian Kollection for Sears?!
"I think just because you have one career, doesn't mean you can't do other things," she told E! News. "A lot of people in the entertainment industry can also be great designers and have other things that they're very good at."
If anyone's proof of that, it's Klum!
The father of Bar Refaeli was convicted in a Jerusalem court today of malicious damage for breaking a photographer's camera and doing a motorcycle some harm back in 2007—in what the defense argued was solely a case of a father protecting his daughter.
Per court records, Rafi said that Bar was on the way over to her family's Tel Aviv home when she called and fearfully told him that she was being followed by a pack of paparazzi while driving.
And the Kfar Saba Magistrates Court ruled today that taking the matter into his own hands once they all reached his house wasn't a particularly good idea.
No date has been set for sentencing yet.
Rafi's little glirl was on her own last week at the Venice Film Festival, but she didn't appear to need any assistance walking the red carpet at the Carnage premiere. She touched down in New York City today just in time for the start of Fashion Week.
Sources close to P tell TMZ ... Hilton has been traveling the world to shadow some super-famous DJs to get some guidance for her upcoming house music album.
We're told Hilton has become pretty tight with HUGE names like Afrojack and Deadmau5 -- and even plans to appear on stage with Deadmau5 in the near future.
One source extremely close to the heiress tells us, Hilton's been told by the best in the biz she could become the "Queen of house music" -- because "no woman has ever taken over in that arena ... and she wants to become that person."
We're told Paris is recording right now in Ibiza (aka House Music Island) with David Guetta ... and is pushing to release the album before the end of the year.
Sims will judge the 12 competing artists alongside designer Kenneth Cole and InStyle editor Ariel Foxman. Lifestyle expert Eva Lorenzotti will "make it work" as the Tim Gunn-like mentor to the designers.
Project Accessory, premiering later this year on Lifetime, will run for eight episodes and follow 12 designers competing to showcase their unique style as they create jewelry, bags, belts, shoes, headpieces and other items.
This is the second spin-off of the fashion competition series following Models of the Runway, which lasted two seasons and followed the models competing on Project Runway.
Sims, best known from her modeling days and five-year stint on Las Vegas, also hosted MTV's House of Style. Cole has been in the fashion industry for more than 25 years. Foxman has been the editor of InStyle since 2008, and is the magazine's first male editor.
The beautiful brunette was cast as a mistress to the king in the hit series earlier this summer, but she was far from happy about a planned nude scene and walked off the set, according to reports.
Nolan, 22, claims she was promised "no nudity" when she signed up for the drama and she says, "It (scene) looked like it was going to basically be soft porn."
She tells CinemaBlend.com, "I thought it wasn't a sex scene and they said they would give me skin patches for my breasts. But when I got there they wanted me to be fully topless and in the scene I had to strip off. So I pulled out at the last minute."
Los Angeles County prosecutors say 66-year-old Victoria Rathgeb was sentenced Wednesday. She pleaded no contest to attempted voluntary manslaughter.
Authorities say Rathgeb shot and wounded her husband last October during an argument. Prosecutors say he recovered and was in court for the sentencing but did not make a statement.
Rathgeb was 1968's Playmate of the Year under the name of Angela Dorian. She had TV and movie roles in the 1960s and 1970s and played a recovering heroin addict in the 1968 hit "Rosemary's Baby."
Lanisha Cole, the longest tenured model on TPIR, filed the lawsuit today in L.A. County Superior Court, accusing producers Michael Richards and Adam Sandler -- coincidentally, NOT THE ACTORS -- of harassing and abusing her in the workplace.
On one occasion last year, according to Lanisha's lawyer, Sandler barged into her dressing room to berate her for not wearing a microphone -- and "at the time, she was completely naked and exposed, excepting a very sheer thong bikini underwear bottom."
According to her lawyer, Sandler proceeded to loudly chastise Lanisha in front of the other models "without even trying to turn away or avert his eyes from her nakedness."
Lanisha says she filed a formal complaint with the show's HR department weeks later -- but claims the show's production company brushed her off for months ... and ultimately did nothing about the alleged harassment. Lanisha says she quit in December.
Now, she wants payback -- seeking damages for wrongful termination, sexual harassment, false imprisonment, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Lanisha also makes it clear host Drew Carey has NOT been accused of any wrongdoing. Calls to TPIR haven't been returned.
The issue, on newsstands Sept. 20, takes a few fashion cues from the 1980s and aims to capture the essence of the bombshell. “Any woman who has a positive attitude about herself and carries herself with class but doesn’t try too hard and say, ya know, ‘Hey, look at me, I’m a bombshell,’ is basically a bombshell,” Iman explains. “It’s just a woman with a positive, strong attitude who knows she has it going on.”
The models — who will hit the runway this fall in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show — were shot on location in Los Angeles. Check out more hot shots at elle.com.
After meeting in 2004 and getting engaged last year, Bush, 27, and Lauren, 39, exchanged vows at the designer's 17,000-acre Double RL Ranch (named for Ralph and wife Ricky Lauren) in the Rocky Mountains.
Though the actual ceremony took place on Sunday, the entire holiday weekend was built around wedding festivities, including a picnic and softball game Saturday, rehearsal dinner Saturday night and a post-wedding rodeo scheduled for Monday.
Merging the two families' fashion sensibilities, the dress code for the wedding was "black tie with a Western twist," say reports.
Among the 200 attendees were the bride's aunt and uncle, former President George W. and First Lady Laura Bush, cousins Jenna and Barbara Bush, and another uncle, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. Lauren's grandparents, George H.W. and Barbara Bush, were unable to attend but sent a video message, reports the New York Post.
The groom's sister, Dylan's Candy Bar owner Dylan Lauren, attended, and Ivanka Trump Tweeted she was there.
The bride's dress was designed by her father-in-law, who also fashioned a bridal gown for his own daughter, Dylan Lauren, earlier this year.
Lauren Bush, who will go by the name Lauren Bush-Lauren, is the daughter of the 43rd president's brother, Neil, who reportedly walked her down the aisle along with the bride's mother, Sharon.
Leonardo DiCaprio’s ex was most recently spotted on the beach on Greek party island Mykonos surrounded by a flock of adoring men. Bar is dating businessman David Fisher, and while they went to Sardinia in July, she travelled to Mykonos with friends.
The most recent example came Wednesday (Aug. 25) as reports surfaced that her Oxygen show "The World According to Paris" has been canceled after just one season.
Calls to Hilton's publicist for comment were not returned.
If this turns out to be the case, it's not unexpected. When the series debuted in June, the ratings were underwhelming at best. The first episode drew a paltry 400,000 viewers. By way of comparison, the Season 5 premiere of "Keeping up with the Kardashians" drew 4.7 million viewers.
After the disappointing opening to the series, things only got worse for Hilton as she continued show promotion.
During an appearance on "The View," Barbara Walters grilled the heiress about her life choices after her 2007 jail stint. Then, during a sit down with ABC's Dan Harris, Hilton had enough when Harris asked her if she "was ever worried about her moment having passed." That's when Hilton got up and left. While she returned 15 minutes later, clearly Hilton was not pleased. Hilton even recently earned the dubious distinction of being named America's "Most Unpopular Personality."
The starlet has had a good run with hits like "The Simple Life" and "Paris Hilton is my new BFF" in addition to acting, modeling and commercial work.
But now with the likely cancellation of "The World According to Paris" we might soon be in a world without Paris at all.
Perhaps they were getting an early start on Jack's birthday celebrations – he turns 4 on Monday – but the beautiful family are also, according to Forbes, one of the richest out there.
The couple recently scored the top spot on the magazine's celebrity list with combined earnings of $76 million for the supermodel and NFL superstar.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z hauled in some $72 million, grabbing the runner-up spot.
TMZ broke the story ... Warren had the night from hell back in May -- capped off when she slipped out of a pair of handcuffs at an LAPD station and tried to make a run for it. She was recaptured ... and eventually charged with DUI, hit-and-run driving, battery on a cop and resisting arrest.
But today, Warren struck a deal with prosecutors, in which she agreed to plead to DUI ... and the remaining three charges against her were dropped.
Warren was sentenced to 60 months of summary probation and has been ordered to attend an alcohol program for 18 months. She will also have to fork over $1,908 in costs and penalties.
Update 5:06 PM: Warren tells TMZ, "I take my actions and their consequences very seriously. I can't express enough how grateful I am that no one was injured or hurt. Moving forward I am focusing all my efforts on my carrer, my family and being a good influence to others"
Hailey Clauson, a California teen who has strutted her stuff for fashion houses like Donna Karan, Zac Posen, Calvin Klein, Jill Stuart and Oscar de la Renta, is going after Urban Outfitters for "destroying her reputation."
What is she claiming the store did to her?
Clauson filed a lawsuit in Manhattan Federal Court claiming that a picture taken of her when she was just 15, posing with her legs wide open in leather shorts on a motorcycle, wound up on a batch of hipster T-shirts being sold by Urban Outfitters.
So now she's suing the chain, and other retailers who have carried the top, for $28 million.
The strikingly beautiful Clauson claims the "blatantly salacious" shot has damaged her reputation and might possibly violate kiddie-porn laws.
Her filing fingers fashion photog Jason Lee Parry, who snapped the shot, for purposefully making "her crotch area the focal point of the image" causing the shot to be of interest "for the likes of pedophiles."
Parry is described in the lawsuit as a professional photographer whose "unconventional body of work" features "nudity, semi-nudity, sexually suggestive situations involving only women and what appear to be underage girls, many with bloody noses as if incurred as a result of repeated drug use and/or physical violence."
The suit alleges that Parry agreed to never release the shot after her then agency Ford Models complained. She is now represented by Next NY.
But the risqué photo turned up later in the German glossy Qvest. It also popped up on T-shirts sold at boutiques Blood is the New Black in Los Angeles and Brandy & Melville in SoHo.
A manager at the Brandy & Melville store in SoHo was unaware the shop had been named in the lawsuit and did not know if the tees were still being sold. "We don't know anything about it. I hadn't heard," said the employee.
Parry says both Coulson's mom and dad were at the photo shoot in question in March 2010 and gave him permission to publish the shot.
Coulson's mom, Bethany, did not return a request for comment.
“The most fun part of being a mother so far is watching Arabella grow and experience different things every day; It is also the hardest part though!” the fashion designer, 29, tells Today.
“I feel like she will be out of the house and off to college before Jared and I know it.”
Fortunately for Trump, she is savoring each second spent with the 4-week-old — even if it means making sacrifices.
“It is easy to want to talk on the phone or read the paper while feeding a baby, but taking a break and enjoying those everyday moments is extremely rewarding,” she shares.
As for baby girl’s name, Trump and Kushner had no problem deciding on a moniker that was creative yet still held special meaning for the couple.
“I have always loved the name Arabella, and Jared’s grandmothers had names beginning with an A and an R,” the Celebrity Apprentice judge explains. ”We wanted to pay a subtle homage to those two strong and wonderful women while also adopting a name that was very unique. Plus, we thought that the initials — ARK — were cool!”
“I gave [Kim] the advice of going with a silhouette that the world isn’t used to seeing her in,” Banks said, “So we’ll see.” As for exactly how Kardashian is going to look in her Vera Wang gown on her wedding day, it seems she and her close pals already have a pretty good idea based on photos from some elaborate fittings. “What she showed me was so beautiful,” Banks, who wore a color-block jumpsuit by her seamstress Claudia Díaz, told PEOPLE. “It’s interesting because they were pictures from a fitting, but it actually looked like the wedding, like her hair was done. So it was like a real almost dress rehearsal and she looked absolutely beautiful.”
Banks, who took home the Do Something Style Award for promoting healthy body image, was invited to Kardashian’s wedding, but from the sounds of it, she doesn’t need to shop for a gift. When asked what she’d consider getting for the bride who has everything, she replied, “Nothing! A kiss and a congratulations.”
Superior Court Judge Jessica Silvers rejected arguments by suspect James Rainford's attorney that his client posed no direct threat to Hilton.
The 36-year-old Rainford has been arrested twice outside Hilton's homes. One incident came on July 4, when paparazzi alerted authorities he was outside the heiress' beach house.
Rainford previously was convicted of battery against Hilton's former boyfriend Cy Waits, who was hit outside a courthouse earlier this year.
Hilton did not appear in court. Four law enforcement officers testified about their interactions with Rainford after he was found outside the homes.
Rainford remains jailed and will return to court on Aug. 29 for arraignment.
Television footage showed Hilton combing through a bag looking upset while she was surrounded by airline staff at the Manila airport late Sunday after arriving from Dubai.
Manila radio station DZBB reported that airport and airline authorities are investigating.
In 2005, hackers gained access to Hilton's Sidekick cellphone and famously splashed the private mobile numbers of her celebrity friends on line.
The latest loss apparently didn't leave Hilton completely cut off — she greeted fans with a tweet "I love you" in the local Tagalog language.
Gisele Bundchen and her 20-month-old son, Benjamin Rein, enjoyed a day at the beach Monday while on vacation in Costa Rica, with dad Tom Brady back home practicing with the New England Patriots for the upcoming NFL season.
The Brazilian supermodel and her baby splashed in the waves before spending the rest of the day relaxing on the sand. A day at the beach is a favorite pastime for the mother-son duo.
Bundchen, 31, and Brady, 34, renewed their vows at her home in Costa Rica in 2009.
Lima said her daughter knows Serbian and Portuguese, but still talks to their Maltese in English, saying things like "come now" to get the puppy to follow her around. Brazilian-born Lima is married to Serbian pro basketball player Marko Jaric.
“I’ve thrown parties for other people, but this is a completely different thing,” the cover girl reveals of her pre-wedding jitters in Vogue‘s September issue. “I’ve gone mental. Jamie thinks I’m mad, asking, ‘Are you gonna be all right? After the wedding, I’m hoping you’ll get back to normal!’”
With 16 bridesmaids and flower girls, including daughter Lila Grace, 8 (pictured below), and a vision in mind — “I wanted it to be kind of dreamy and 1920s, when everything is soft-focus,” she says — Moss dubbed the theme: “Rock-’n’-roll Great Gatsby!”
The dress, a beaded and lace confection by John Galliano, also achieved the desired effect — and then some! “She dared me to be John Galliano again,” the maligned couturier gushed, adding that designing the gown for Moss was his “creative rehab.” For more behind-the-scenes details and photos from Moss and Hince’s wedding day (including shots of guests like Kelly Osbourne and Paul McCartney), head to Vogue.com.
Supermodel-actress Molly Sims is in the midst of planning her wedding to Scott Stuber and girl is throwing down the gauntlet.
"It's an entire wedding filled with celebrities," Molly tells us. Is she seriously trying to upstage Kim's big day?
Nope. She's just got a wicked sense of humor.
"It's the wedding of the century," she joked last night at the New Balance store opening in New York City. "They are all celebrities, and they are all singing!"
Jokes aside, the gorgeous gal did spill some serious deets on her upcoming nuptials. She's hired celebrity wedding planners Yifat Oren and Stephanie Cove to plan her big day, which will be held in Napa Valley this fall.
"Yifat Oren and Stephanie Cove are the single best wedding planners in the United States," she said. "Hands down. They're whole mantra is like, perfectly messed up. It's amazing."
Oren and Cove planned weddings for couples Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth, Brooke Mueller and Charlie Sheen and Christine and Kevin Costner.
The supermodel is a client of celeb stylist and new mommy Rachel Zoe, so we can be sure her gown will be nothing short of amazing.
In any case, you can relax now, Kim.
Details of the dress remain under wraps for now, but the bride-to-be expressed her excitement about the final product. “I can’t wait to see what she will create,” she said of head designer Georgina Chapman. “We still have one year to prepare so we are working on the other details.” Nemcova said she and Belman, a British actor, will tie the knot next year in the English countryside.
E! News has exclusively gotten hold of the angels' new campaign, and since we're so nice, we decided to share it with you!
So, what exactly are Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel and Erin Heatherton raving about half-naked?
The Showstopper bra, duh!
This new collection of bras are supposed to promise a light, smooth and sexy fit while providing no-show coverage right where you need it most.
During the commerical, we're bombarded (in a good way) by each model's long and slim bodies under bright lights, which makes us stop eating whatever's in our hands and renew our gym memberships.
While looking flawless, they each answer the question: What is a showstopper? (A bra, right? We went over this.)
No, no. Your inner goddess, your heart, confidence and perfection are all different ways of being a showstopper on the inside, according to the Angels, but most importantly, being sexy and embracing your body.

The incredibly beautiful model wife of Orlando Bloom was back in fine form when she took to the runway in Australia earlier this week, showing off a perfect bod just seven months after giving birth to baby Flynn—in a barely there bikini, no less.
So how'd she get back in tip-top shape for the show, during which she drew gasps from the audience?
"I have been doing my squats and I started Pilates as well as my usual yoga routine," she told the Herald Sun.
The 28-year-old admitted she was nervous about appearing in the David Jones fashion show in Sydney and showing off her post-baby figure, but after the she drew applause from the audience, she appeared to be just fine.
"I am a little nervous about getting back on the runway after just having a baby seven months ago in a swimsuit," she said.
The Victoria's Secret beauty, sporting dramatic red lips and wavy hair, showed off seven different outfits, including a sparkly red gown, a leather jacket and a croped top and jeans. Kerr had made a runway appearance for Balenciaga just two months after giving birth, but she was covered up in a long black dress.
Kerr's hubby Orlando was not there to see his wife strut her bikini bod on the catwalk, although he did stop by rehearsals earlier in the day before jetting to New Zealand, where he is filming The Hobbit.
Her son Flynn, whom Kerr calls "a charmer," also missed the show—he has a 6:30 bedtime.
The famed supermodel is asking the Manhattan Family Court to order fashion mogul François-Henri Pinault—who, as it happens, has been the husband of Salma Hayek for the past two years—to fork over a whopping $46,000-a-month in child support to help Evangelista care for her and Pinault's 4-year-old son.
We wonder what Salma has to say about this?
Per the New York Post, Evangelista turned up at yesterday's hearing flanked by attorney William Beslow to argue that her wealthy former companion and baby daddy has failed to provide hardly anything for little Augustin despite the fact that his company owns or has a stake in some of the fashion industry's biggest luxury labels, including Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Alexander McQueen.
"He's just been sitting back, paying zero," her lawyer stated.
Making things worse, Beslow claimed, is that Pinault had set aside a $12 million trust for Valentina, his 3-year-old daughter with Hayek.
So how would the money break down?
Beslow said it would cover full-time nannies at $80,000-a-year and gun-toting bodyguards, which costs upwards of $175,000-a-year—a pittance considering Pinault's fortune is estimated at $11.5 billion.
Asked by the judge how many hours a week she works, the 46-year-old stunner said the expenses were necessary given the arduous requirements of her career—like staying fit and keeping her goddess looks.
"On days when I do not work, I am working on my image," Evangelista told the judge. "I have to hit the gym. I have beauty appointments. I have to work toward my next job and maintaining my image just like an athlete."
Pinault's camp wasn't buying it, arguing that the leggy beauty could easily afford the expenditures.
"She testified that she wants to have a 24-hour nanny because she does not want to be alone with the child," complained Pinaut's lawyer, David Aronson.
"Ms. Evangelista, you should understand, has a worth of more than $8 million, and she earned last year $1.8 million."
The judge subsequently nixed the catwalker's request for $7,500 for a "monthly" vacation stipend. However, he called her request for her former companion to share the financial burden of round-the-clock care and protection for August reasonable given his parents' celebrity status.
"These are the extraordinary expenses that may be a part of the child's life," the judge said. "And if there is a trial [in the support case] with a lot of publicity, there will probably be a need for two detectives to drive this kid around."
Evangelista, who had initially gone to great lengths to hide her baby daddy's identity, claiming the father was a "New York architect," hooked up with Pinault and conceived their baby boy in early 2006. It was reportedly during a time when Pinault and then-girlfriend Hayek had briefly separated.
Neither side's attorneys would comment on the support case and there's no word on the next court date. But if Evangelista and Pinault can't come to an arrangement, a trial might just be the hottest thing going next season.
Even though Wilkinson's book laid bare her sex-life with the Playboy mogul, 85, she says she would never go out of her way to hurt Hef the way Harris, 24, did when she gossiped with Howard Stern last week about Hefner's sexual prowess – or lack thereof.
"We both knew our place," Wilkinson says of her and Hefner. "He knew that we were friends. I knew that we were friends. But to [plan to] get married and then be a backstabber to someone like that – to take it to that level and then go and backstab, that's, like, cruel, you know?"
Being someone who has once experienced sheltered life in the Playboy Mansion, Wilkinson says she initially related to Harris's venting. But that all changed once the runaway bride turned on Hefner.
"At first I was really proud," Wilkinson says. "I was like, 'Wow, she's being classy about things.' But then lately, she's just like totally running her mouth and it's hard."
The former wife of rocker Travis Barker was reportedly driving her BMW X5 through Calabasas last weekend when she allegedly ignored a stop sign and almost ran over several pedestrians.
An onlooker claims one pedestrian confronted Moakler after she nearly hit a child, but she is said to have sworn at the witnesses before driving off.
Now police have received an official complaint over the alleged incident and heads at the Los Angeles Sheriff's department's Stop Teen Traffic Offender Program have reached out to the beauty to find out what happened, reports TMZ.com.
But Moakler is denying the incident ever took place, telling the website she is "seriously concerned" for the mental state of her accuser, and claiming the woman in question has previously harassed her at the shopping mall.
"Just enjoyed my first night out of the house since Arabella and I came home from the hospital," she wrote on Twitter. "I had a great date with my husband!"
But Trump, 29, is in no rush to get back to work with a newborn at home. "There is nothing better in life than playing with a well fed baby first thing in the morning," she wrote.
Could she have a baby genius on her hands?
"Love the Black & White book by Hoben. Arabella will just stare at the pictures totally memorized!" the proud mother said of sharing the picture book with her daughter. "I joke that my baby is less than 2 wks old & already literate!"
The hotel heiress has been dating David Katzenberg, whose father co-founded film studio DreamWorks, for the last four years after meeting as teenagers.
But they have now gone their separate ways due to their hectic schedules, reports New York Post gossip column Page Six.
A source tells the publication, "They broke up quietly after four years together. The main reason was that they have been busy with their work schedules, and it has made it difficult to spend time together.
"Nicky has been back and forth traveling overseas a lot with her business. She has recently been in Asia promoting her jewellery line, and David is starting a new production company. Their schedules never seemed to match.
"There is no scandal or any third person - they remain close friends, they have been friends since they were teenagers."
"Ventured into the office for a few hours today, but raced home to see Arabella this evening," the new mom, who gave birth to daughter Arabella Rose July 17, Tweeted on Monday. "I'm already experiencing separation anxiety!"
Trump, 29, who is married to New York Observer owner Jared Kushner, has also said she's had the "best" time playing with her daughter and "enjoying a mellow night at home with my husband and baby."
"They're going to be a great family," Ivanka's father, Donald Trump, told PEOPLE. "The baby looks like Ivanka. She has a beautiful face, just like her. I'm very happy and very proud of my daughter and her husband."
At least, that's the case with Julia Roberts and Christy Turlington, whose makeup ads—for Lancôme and Maybelline, respectively—have been banned in the U.K. over complaints that the images projected in the campaigns were unrealistic and misleading.
In related news, the world continues to spin on its axis.
L'Oréal Ltd., which owns both beauty brands, has been forced to pull the ads featuring the apparently less-pretty-than-projected woman and the supermodel after the U.K.'s Advertising Standards Authority upheld complaints brought by MP Jo Swinson claiming that the images were overly airbrushed, otherwise manipulated, and "not representative of the results the product could achieve."
The images in question came from Roberts' two-page spread for Lancôme's Teint Miracle foundation, shot, as it happens, by Mario Testino, and Turlington's campaign for Maybelline's The Eraser foundation.
The ASA ruled that images of both breached the advertising standards code by exaggerating the effects of their products and by generally being misleading to consumers. As a result, both have been banned from future publication across the pond.
On Roberts' ad, Swinson challenged the company's claims that the foundation gave the appearance of skin with a "natural light," glowing from within. She said the image was more likely the result of digital manipulation…and the ASA, obviously, agreed.
Lancôme responded to the claims, saying that Testino is known for his flattering photos, and Julia is known for her glowing skin, but admitted that the image was attained by using "a soft focus and lower resolution" and was intended to be an image of "aspiration."
Plus, "consideration should also be given to the fact the image was in the context of an ad for foundation, a product which was designed to cover skin flaws and imperfections."
Cover skin flaws and imperfections, but not, apparently, the company's tracks.
For their part, the ASA conceded that, yes, Julia's a looker, it's a makeup ad and Testino is at the top of his game for a reason, but that just wasn't good enough.
"In addition to the factors above, the image was produced with the assistance of post-production techniques…on the basis of the evidence we had received, we could not conclude that the ad image accurately illustrated what effect the product could achieve, and that the image had not been exaggerated by digital post-production techniques. We therefore concluded that the ad was misleading," they said in their ruling.
Likewise went the ruling on Turlington's ad, as the ASA said it was simply not provided with enough information to determine what impact was made by lighting and makeup and which were achieved by digital enhancements.
So that fakery has been banned, too. Now that's a beautiful thing.
Harris, 24, said Tuesday on Sirius XM Radio's Howard Stern Show that sex with the 85-year-old Playboy founder lasted "like two seconds."
"Then I was just over it," she says. "I was like, 'Ahhh.' I was over it. I just like, walked away. I'm not turned on by Hef, sorry."
She adds that they had sex just once.
"He doesn't really take off his clothes," Harris says. "I've never seen Hef naked."
Now that Harris has parted ways from Hefner, she is spending a great deal of time with Dr. Phil's son Jordan McGraw.
Although denying a reported romance with the songwriter in June, Harris was spotted out with him recently at Knave, the upscale and dimly lit bar at Le Parker Meridien in NYC.
"They were joined by two women who stayed for about an hour," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "Crystal was drinking mojitos and laughing, and Jordan was sipping a drink on the rocks. But once their friends left, they really settled in and seemed more and more comfortable."
Swimsuit Illustrated covergirl turned actress Brooklyn Decker is sporting quite the baby bump in her new role in What to Expect When You're Expecting, the gestational comedy adaptation of the best-selling book.
In the flick, in which Brooklyn costars alongside Jennifer Lopez and Cameron Diaz, Decker plays the trophy wife of her much older husband who becomes the envy of her fellow mamas-to-be by experiencing a super easy pregnancy—despite expecting twins.
The movie is due out on May 11 of next year. Which, fittingly enough, is just about nine months away.
The Mean Girls star was spotted at the intimate gathering outside Hilton's Malibu, California home on Sunday, joining guests such as actress Emma Roberts, Inception star Lukas Haas and the socialite's designer sister, Nicky.
And the one-time party pals were all smiles when Lohan arrived at the event.
A source tells TMZ.com, "Everyone was so surprised when Lindsay walked in and we thought they didn’t get along. But they immediately gave each other a big hug."
The stars' friendship has wavered in recent years following Lohan's string of legal troubles, and Hilton recently apologised to the actress after making a jibe about her recent court case over the alleged theft of a necklace during an episode of her reality TV show, The World According To Paris.
Lohan recently completed 35 days of home confinement stemming from a probation violation as a result of the theft allegations.
Instead, sources told us, the story -- under Secret Service-like protection at Vogue's 4 Times Square offices -- features Moss dressed in gowns by a handful of designers, including Oscar de la Renta, Vera Wang and Valentino, just like Carrie Bradshaw.
Sources say that Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour asked top designers to create looks they'd most like to see Moss wear during her nuptials. The waifish model was then photographed in the various looks by Mario Testino for the issue.
The shoot is akin to the scenes in the "Sex and the City" movie, in which Sarah Jessica Parker's character has a dreamy photo shoot for Vogue wearing wedding dresses by Christian Lacroix, Lanvin, Dior and Vivienne Westwood.
One source told Page Six: "Kate is on the cover, but the wedding is the minor part of the story. Anna told about 10 designers to pick out their ideal dresses for Kate." Our sources added that because the highly influential Wintour made the request, "that meant they had to do it."
As it is with any of Vogue's September issues, sources added that details of Moss' shoot were kept tightly under wraps. "If anything got out about the cover, Anna would flip," quipped one source.
Testino also photographed Moss' July 11 wedding -- a three-day, raucous celebration dubbed "Moss-Stock" by British locals. Attendees at the affair included Naomi Campbell, Jude Law, Jade Jagger, Kelly Osbourne, a well-behaved Galliano and, of course, Ms. Wintour.
The September issues of fashion magazines are the most important of the year because they're usually the biggest.
A rep for Vogue said, "We don't comment on rumors about future issues."
The hotel heiress sat down for a chat with Good Morning America's Dan Harris at her Los Angeles home, and when the footage aired in the U.S. on Wednesday morning, the TV host revealed she had walked out during filming.
The interview saw Harris asking the socialite about various topics, including an alleged stalker, and her career, but when the topic turned to her new reality TV show, The World According to Paris, Hilton became visibly irritated.
She shook her head when Harris asked her, "There's talk of ratings in the show being low, has that upset you?" and when he probed further adding, "Do you ever worry about your moment having passed?" Hilton huffed her disapproval and stormed off. She was heard angrily telling her publicist, "I don't want all this stuff used," before eventually returning to the interview.
Just two days after her arrival, new mom Ivanka Trump carried her infant daughter, snug in a pink blanket, into her New York City apartment Tuesday.
Arabella Rose, whose name was revealed by her grandfather, Donald Trump, is the first child for Trump, 29, and her husband, New York Observer owner Jared Kushner, 30.
And it looks like Rose will feel right at home in no time: members of Trump's entourage were carrying shopping bags, stuffed animals and flowers into the apartment.
"Arabella Rose is beyond adorable," the proud mama Tweeted Monday. "She's truly a blessing."
It was a super A-list weekend, with one very big question: What was she doing with Leonardo DiCaprio on Saturday night?
First, on Friday, Paris and Todd hit director Joel Silver's birthday dinner, where power couples such as Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson, Barbra Streisand & James Brolin, and Robert Downey Jr. and his wife Susan were all on hand to help him celebrate.
Then Paris, Todd and Leo all did dinner at Nobu in Malibu, along with Lukas Haas and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Why this particular mix—three movie stars, an heiress and The Hangover director? Apparently the dinner wasn't to talk business, according to a source.
"It was just for fun," they tell me.
"Everyone was saying what a great couple Paris and Todd made," a source says, adding that they were both very affectionate throughout the evening.
Paris' little sister seems to agree. "Nicky usually doesn't like the guys Paris dates but she love Todd and thinks he's a great guy," a source close to Paris says.
After delivering a daughter Sunday morning, Ivanka Trump is resting up – while Donald Trump shares some happy news.
"I just left the hospital and the baby is beautiful. [Ivanka's] doing great," Trump, 65, tells Fox & Friends. "Arabella Rose is the baby's name – I just found that out by the way."
Shortly thereafter, Ivanka announced the name herself via Twitter.
"Jared and I are having so much fun playing with our daughter!" Trump, 29, writes. "Arabella Rose is beyond adorable. She's truly a blessing."
This is the first child for Ivanka and the third grandchild for Donald Trump. Son Donald Trump Jr. is already dad to daughter Kai Madison, 4, and son Donnie III, 2, with another boy on the way in October.
Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner welcomed their first child, a daughter, on Sunday in New York City.
"This morning [Jared] and I welcomed a beautiful and healthy little baby girl into the world," Trump, 29, announced via Twitter. "We feel incredibly grateful and blessed. Thank you all for your support and well wishes!"
Herself the daughter of Donald Trump, "We have our work cut out for us to ensure that our daughter is grounded and not spoiled," the Celebrity Apprentice judge – who admitted she was terrified of labor and delivery – says.
Trump married Kushner, owner of the New York Observer, in October 2009.
“I’ve had for it ages,” the Celebrity Apprentice judge, 30, confides while attending a screening of Snow Flower and the Secret Fan with husband Jared Kushner in N.Y.C.
With her daughter on the way imminently, Trump admits that she’s “trying not to think about” the labor.
“My breathing exercises are going to come in the form of screams and panic,” she jokes. “I have enough anxiety about the type of mother I’m going to be and the nuances of being a parent.”
“I haven’t focused too much on the actual delivery part, which is seriously terrifying,” adds Trump.
During a recent trip to New York's Central Park Zoo, Anja spotted something she liked right away.
"The first animal we saw was the seal," Ambrósio, 30, told PEOPLE at the Victoria Secret Supermodel Cycle for Pelotonia at SoulCycle on Wednesday. "She was like, 'Mommy, can you buy one for me? I want a little one for the house!'"
Ambrósio tried to let her down easy. "[I told her,] 'No, we can look at them. We can't have them at home.'"
It didn't all end in disappointment for Anja, however. Ambrósio and her fiancé, Jamie Mazur, gave their daughter a more manageable pet. "Lola, she's a teacup Maltese," Ambrósio said. She's very tiny and adorable. My daughter loves her."
Prosecutor Wendy Segall said Friday that 36-year-old James Brian Rainford is facing two felony stalking counts and three misdemeanor counts of disobeying a court order.
Deputies arrested Rainford on the Fourth of July after paparazzi outside Hilton's home recognized him. It was his third arrest in less than a year related to Hilton.
He is in jail with bail set at $150,000. Jail records do not indicate whether he has an attorney.
A judge issued a restraining order in October after Rainford was arrested outside Hilton's Hollywood Hills home. He was arrested again this year after Hilton's boyfriend was grabbed outside a courthouse.
“He looks exactly like Orlando did when he was a baby,” the model, 28, tells Australia’s The Daily Telegraph of Flynn’s resemblance to husband Orlando Bloom.
“His character is developing every day. He’s content and, even though he’s teething, you can see he’s calm.”
But there’s another special man who Flynn — full name: Flynn Christopher Blanchard Copeland Bloom — takes after: Kerr’s high school sweetheart, Christopher Middlebrook, who died in a car accident when he was a teenager.
“Chris and I had been dating for two years,” she says. “After he died, I wrote him a letter that said I hoped to name my first child after him in some way. I told Orlando, and he was the one who said he’d be happy to do that. Orlando’s a good guy.”
But 6-month-old Flynn is still a mama’s boy. Kerr, who was already booking photo shoots in April, says she takes her little man to work — which is a bit of a balancing act.
“So I feed him and then I shoot while he sleeps,” she explains. “It’s a lot, but I’m thankful I can bring him along because not everyone can do that.”
One thing she doesn’t have to worry about scheduling: nap time.
“I’ve found a new sense of strength and stamina, so somehow it all comes together,” Kerr says of her lack of shut-eye. “I was always into my sleep, but it’s so different now that I’m a mother. I don’t sleep much. But when he gives me that smile, my heart just melts.”
Last night, P had a PDA-packed dinner with her new beau, Hangover II director Todd Phillips, at Madeo restaurant in L.A., spending hours at the trendy eatery.
And the couple made no attempts to hide their affection for each in front of their fellow diners.
"Paris and Todd were kissing and cuddling nonstop throughout dinner," an eyewitness tells me. "They're crazy about each other!"
But let's get to the important stuff...what did they eat?
Paris ordered lasagna, while Todd opted for ravioli. He picked up the check, natch.
Clearly, this couple isn't worried about bikini season.
Post-dinner, Todd stepped aside as Paris obliged fellow diners and fans with photos.
Says a source close to Paris: "She thinks he's so sweet and funny."
Maybe this isn't just a summer fling for the freshly single reality star.
The veteran supermodel has wed four times - to French artist Jean-Francois Allaux, rocker Billy Joel, businessman Richard Taubman and Peter Cook.
She is mother to three children, all from different relationships, and although she's open to love again in the future, she's adamant she'll never exchange vows with another man after the drama of her divorces.
Brinkley tells Britain's Stella magazine, "I can now say unequivocally that I would never get married again. There's absolutely no reason to.
"I learned in my divorce that marriage is ridiculous. You take a vow but you don't get brownie points when you honour your vow and the other person doesn't.
"The court doesn't recognize that. It's like, 'All right now, let's see how we're going to divvy up the kids.' Well, obviously, the one that didn't break the vows should be the role model, but no."
Brinkley's last marriage, to Cook, came to an end in 2008.
James Rainford, 36, who is banned from going within 200 yards of the star, was detained by cops on Independence Day after he was allegedly spotted on the beach outside the socialite's house in Malibu, California.
Rainford was held on $20,000 bail and appeared in court in Van Nuys, California on Wednesday to plead not guilty to a charge of violating a protective order.
He was remanded in custody and will be back in court on July 15.
Rainford was previously arrested outside Hilton's home in Los Angeles last year and subsequently pleaded no contest to a trespass charge, which landed him three years probation. He was subsequently jailed for attacking Hilton's then-boyfriend Cy Waits outside a courthouse in April, but was reportedly released after serving 24 days of his 227 day sentence.
"I actually thought I was going to die at one point and left my body," the actress and model, 28, tells Australian InStyle of the excruciating delivery back in January. "I was looking down on myself – the pain was so intense."
"I kept thinking, 'How do women do this?' But if other women have done this, I can do it too. I was determined."
Six months later, Kerr and her husband, Orlando Bloom, are happily raising Flynn. And Kerr reveals that Bloom is a very hand-on father.
"It's whoever has their hands free," she says of the parenting duties. 'When I'm not working we don't have a nanny. Some nights we have a lady who comes in to help out, but [Flynn] is getting better at sleeping now, so not as often. And if I need to get on a plane for one day of work, I pump my milk and put it into the freezer for Orlando."
A Victoria's Secret model since 2007, Kerr is back in shape following the pregnancy. But she says she was never preoccupied with how it would affect her famous figure.
"[Flynn is] a big baby, 4.5 kilograms [almost 10 pounds] at birth," she says. "And I thought to myself, 'I have so much more that I want to do aside from modeling. I can live with my body not being in shape if I have a healthy son. It's worth it.' "
The 40-year-old former Chanel muse said she has been thinking of getting into fashion design for years and had finally decided to start with the kinds of clothes she wore all the time as a working mom such as cashmere dresses and sweaters.
"I am always very busy, I have a family life... I want to wear the same outfit when I bring my children to school and then go to work with it and in the evening I want to be able to just change accessories," Schiffer told Reuters at the launch of the Claudia Schiffer clothing line in trendy Paris boutique Colette.
"Effortless chic. That is the idea of it," she added.
Schiffer's collection included long tube black and navy blue dresses, grey oversized cardigans and cable-knit sweaters costing from 250 to 500 euros ($360-$725).
Schiffer, who lives in Britain, is married to film producer Matthew Vaughn with whom she has three children.
While creating her brand was a "dream come true," the model acknowledged history was full of celebrities who had gone into fashion. For some, such as former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, the venture has been a success, while others have proved disastrous such as U.S. actress Lindsay Lohan at Emanuel Ungaro.
"I don't want this to be a celebrity line. It is meant to be a lasting business not a quick celebrity licensing line," Schiffer said.
Schiffer said she was on a steep learning curve and admitted she still had much to learn as a designer.
"I want the product to live without my name so that it does not really need me. As a company, I hope it builds up over time so that one day, hopefully, I can hand it over to my children."
The model created a joint-venture with the German maker of luxury cashmere sweaters Iris von Arnim. She invested her personal funds in the company of which she owns half.
Valentin von Arnim, managing director of Iris von Arnim, said the retail strategy of the Claudia Schiffer brand was to sell to retailers in given cities on an exclusivity basis.
For example, Colette in Paris, Harvey Nichols in Britain and Hong Kong, Boutique 1 in Dubai, Beirut, Qatar and Abu Dhabi, The Corner Berlin in Germany.
Arnim said the sweaters had been bought by about 50 stores worldwide and would also be on sale next week at online retailer net-a-porter, now controlled by luxury group Richemont.
Initially spotted for her resemblance to Brigitte Bardot, Claudia Schiffer began her career in the late 1980s and quickly joined the supermodel elite alongside Linda Evangelista, Elle Macpherson, Christy Turlington and Naomi Campbell.
Having appeared on the cover of more than 500 magazines, she is one of the world's most successful and most enduring of the supermodels with a fortune estimated at more than $50 million.
Having recently featured in Yves Saint Laurent, Salvatore Ferragamo ads, Schiffer is now in campaigns for L'Oreal make-up and Chanel sunglasses.
She said wished to pursue her modeling career for as long as she could: "I will continue modeling until they don't want me anymore basically because I do love it very much."
The socialite was enjoying the holiday festivities at her house in Malibu, California when cops were alerted to a man sitting on the beach outside, peering into Hilton's home.
James Rainford was detained on suspicion of breaching a restraining order which bans him from going within 200 yards (183 metres) of the star, and she watched from her balcony as he was bundled away in a squad car.
Hilton has now written about the incident in a post on her Twitter.com page, imploring the man to stay away from her.
She writes, "My stalker needs to leave me alone... Creep."
Rainford was previously arrested outside Hilton's home in Los Angeles in October, while he was later jailed for attacking her then-boyfriend Cy Waits outside a courthouse in April.
The sheriff's department says in a statement that someone called authorities Monday afternoon and reported a man standing on a beach looking into Hilton's Malibu home.
The caller recognized the man as James Rainford. He pleaded no contest to a battery charge in April after Hilton's then-boyfriend Cy Waits was attacked outside a courthouse.
Deputies who responded were met by numerous paparazzi who pointed out Rainford standing on the beach.
Rainford was arrested without incident and is being held on $20,000 bail.
The arrest comes less than a week after a man convicted of trying to burglarize Paris Hilton's home was sentenced to two years in prison.
“I love my family life now the way it is,” the Project Runway host, 38, told PEOPLE Wednesday at HAMPTONS’ Annual 4th of July Weekend Celebration. Currently based in the Big Apple while Klum films season 9 of the hit show, the model calls the move “a good change” for children Leni, Henry, Johan and Lou.
“We do everything that the city has to offer. From driving on the sight-seeing bus to the Empire State Building to the Statue of Liberty and the museums,” explains Klum. “We’re going to watch Spider-Man [on Broadway] — my son is really excited about that.”
In addition to her hosting duties — Project Runway returns July 28 — Klum is keeping up with her latest project, Heidi Klum’s Summer Run, a blog she’s doing for AOL. It chronicles the number of miles the model runs every day and invites others to do the same.
Admitting that “showing up is the hardest part” of running, Klum says her kids with husband Seal wake her up early enough to give her time to hit the road.
“You have to be a morning person when you have children,” she laughs. “[Before you can] go out late at night and sleep in a little bit, but when you have kids that get up at 5:30, 6 o’clock you go to bed earlier!”
And that makes great fodder for the Project Runway host's fashion designer costar Michael Kors.
When Glamour asked its August cover girl if show mentor Tim Gunn ever gives her style advice, Heidi replied, "He hasn't. He's so polite—he would never say, 'Why are you wearing that?' "
However, the former supermodel added, "Michael is a little bit more...well, he always jokes with me. He says that my skirts are really short. He calls it fallopian length. He teases me."
LOL. Tim usually has the best lines, but that's a good zinger, M.K.!
So what else did Heidi dish about?
For starters, the reality-TV hostess with the mostest doesn't plan on quitting her show anytime soon: "I'm going to be 80, walking with a stick down the runway."
And Heidi also spills on her sexy bedroom secrets.
"There's nothing wrong with a nice garter belt," she said. "I'm not saying you have to put up a pole in your bedroom and start swinging off the rafters. But I love that sometimes!"
We're sure hubby Seal loves it, too.
What do you think of Heidi's supershort hemlines?
Salma Hayek, arguably one of the most beautiful women on the planet, is now married to her very wealthy husband of two years, François-Henri Pinault. But around the time they met in 2006, Pinault was making sweet love to another one of the world's most beautiful women, Linda Evangelista. Hey, it helps to have all that cash.
Nothing out of the ordinary for a man like him to have some gorgeous arm-candy attached to him. Thing is, he got both women pregnant that same year, resulting in the two sex sirens now having 4-year-olds by the French luxury brand owner—except that Evangelista had kept her baby daddy's name secret this whole time.
Until, that is, she was spotted in a New York court arguing over a child support agreement she made with Pinault. According to public records at the court, there are ongoing proceedings between her and Pinault.
So what's happening now? And did Salma know?
Evangelista played the January Jones game, keeping her baby daddy's name mum, then even lying to protect Pinault when she claimed in interviews the father was a "New York architect." New York architect, French luxury brand owner, potato, potahto.
There had been previous murmurs of Pinault being the father of her son, Augustin James Evangelista. Page Six fingered the businessman in 2007, though Evangelista's rep denied it. But the leggy beauty's longstanding cover was blown yesterday when she appeared in Manhattan Family Court to hash out a custody agreement with Pinault.
The 46-year-old supermodel has been to the court at least three times now, with no agreement being reached on their custody plans, which means a support trial is likely. Pinault was not present yesterday at the hearing, but the Manhattan magistrate's court action confirms to the New York Post that he is in fact the father.
According to Evangelista and Hayek's pregnancy timelines, Evangelista conceived their baby boy in early 2006, during the time he was reportedly separated from then-girlfriend Hayek.
Hayek, 44, became pregnant in late 2006, giving birth to Valentina Paloma Pinault in September 2007.
Which means both ladies had his buns baking in their ovens that year.
No word on whether Hayek knew that Pinault, 49, was Evangelista's baby daddy, but the actress repeatedly insisted in interviews that her husband has just three children, their girl and two kids from a previous marriage that ended in 2004.
Pinault can certainly afford to care for his offspring—he owns Yves Saint Laurent, Gucci and other luxury brands and jets from New York to Los Angeles to Paris on a regular basis.
Before he married the Frida star, the duo had called off their engagement in July 2008 but reconciled shortly thereafter. They married on Valentine's Day in 2009 in a small town hall ceremony in Paris. Months later, the couple threw a celeb-filled bash in Venice to celebrate.
Pinault's attorney David Aronson declined to discuss his client's case with E!, saying it is a private matter between private poeple. Evangelista's attorney has not yet responded for comment.
Moss, 37, tied the knot with fiancé Jamie Hince near her Cotswold, England, home. Police monitored roads surrounding the model's home, which was barricaded for the festivities. Celebrations will continue there over the weekend, for a days-long party dubbed by the media as "Mosstock."
Following a ceremony at St. Peter's Church in Southrop, the bride and groom posed for pictures with her 12 bridesmaids, including her daughter Lila Grace, 8.
The bride wore a cream, vintage-style dress with rhinestone detail, reportedly by John Galliano, while the groom donned a light blue Yves Saint Laurent suit, striped shirt and patterned tie.
The couple's mutual friend Sadie Frost first introduced Moss to The Kills rocker backstage at his concert in 2007. They were engaged in Feb. 2011.
This engagement is not a first for Moss, who split from troubled rocker Pete Doherty shortly before she met Hince.
It's the first wedding of a reigning prince in the tiny Riviera principality since Philadelphia-born Hollywood icon Grace Kelly walked down the aisle with Albert's late father, Prince Rainier, more than 50 years ago.
The festivities kicked off Thursday night with a concert by The Eagles. The prince and Wittstock attended the free show, which was held at Monaco's stadium and attracted thousands of fans from the principality and neighboring areas.
"The music is nice but it's kind of beside the point," said Fatima Aherdane, a 27-year-old call center manager who grew up in Monaco. "We're just so happy that the prince is finally getting married, they could be playing whatever."
Though Albert is in his fifties and has acknowledged fathering two children out of wedlock, this is his first trip down the aisle. His longtime confirmed bachelor status once worried many in Monaco, which is known worldwide for its glamorous monarchy, its lax tax laws and high-flying casinos.
The palace long kept the guest list for the two-day-long festivities Friday and Saturday under wraps, presumably for security reasons, but on Thursday released brief biographies of the celebrity guests.
Top names included Sir Roger Moore, who played British spy 007 in the 1970s and '80s, Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld, U.S. soprano Renee Fleming, and Bernard Arnault, the CEO of luxury giant LVMH — and the wealthiest man in France.
Italian designers Roberto Cavalli, whose yacht often plies the waters off the Cote d'Azur, and Giorgio Armani, the man behind Wittstock's wedding dress, and a smattering of supermodels including Naomi Campbell and Karolina Kurkova are also expected.
Rumor had it that members of the royal houses of Spain and Sweden would come, but their names were not on Thursday's list. His Majesty Leruo Molotlegi of the Kingdom of Bakofeng in South Africa is — as is the former president of El Salvador.
A host of athletes are also expected, including swimmers, distance runners, race car drivers and tennis and rugby players. Romanian gymnast Nadia Comenici, who captivated the world by winning three gold medals at the 1976 summer Olympic Games, will attend.
Wittstock was born in Zimbabwe, but moved to neighboring South Africa as a child. She swam for South Africa at the Sydney Olympics in 2000. Albert has been an International Olympic Committee member since 1985 and competed in five Winter Olympics as part of Monaco's bobsled team.
Albert met Wittstock during a 2000 swimming competition in Monaco. Wittstock then began appearing regularly at social events and moved to Monaco in 2006.
Friday's civil ceremony and Saturday's religious ceremony will be held in the palace, a Renaissance palazzo that's been home to Monaco's ruling Grimaldi dynasty for centuries.
A multicourse gala dinner by three-time triple Michelin starred chef Alain Ducasse will follow the religious ceremony.
As we previously reported, Nathan Lee Parada was found guilty of first-degree residential burglary back in April. He was arrested back in 2010 when he was found on her property ... trying to get into the mansion.
Parada was thwarted by Hilton's then boyfriend Cy Waits ... who pulled a gun on the suspect before he could get inside.
The line will consist of "statement pieces," Klum says, and range in price from $30 to $200. "The only reason to wear costume jewelry is to wear something large —something you can't do with real jewelry because it would be too expensive," says the supermodel-turned-reality TV host.
This is the second partnership between Klum and QVC — the first was a fine jewelry line that launched in 2006 but folded three years later when jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels sued, alleging copyright infringement.
Meanwhile, Klum isn't the only moonlighting celeb with a product launch on the horizon.
Rachel Zoe's fall line for Neiman Marcus will be released to coincide with the fourth season of The Rachel Zoe Project (premiering Tuesday, Aug. 2 at 9/8c on Bravo), according to The Hollywood Reporter. It will include fur vests, dresses, jackets, handbags and shoes that run in price from $200 to $500.
John Malkovich, too, has started a clothing line, Technobohemian, that's "inspired by the appearance of a bohemian of the new millennium."
Now 4½ months pregnant, Taylor, 36, is as excited as the 2-year-old over the news that she and race car driver husband Burney Lamar, 30, will welcome another child this fall.
“Burney is the best father, and I am so blessed to be expecting again,” Taylor tells PEOPLE while in Miami’s Design District Thursday to shoot her advertising campaign as the face of Opustone Natural Stone products.
“Our life is all about family and home, and we love being parents. So we are both super excited.”
Adds Lamar, who joined his wife in the new modern stone showroom: “Ciel loves planes and wants to be a pilot like me. She has also watched me race cars on television and loves the sport. She’s an amazing little girl with a big brain.”
Taylor announced her pregnancy via Twitter last month by posting a photo of herself holding an ultrasound image.
“I announced it by Twitter because I didn’t want a big story about it — I just wanted to share the news myself,” Taylor, also mom to 16-year-old identical twin boys Hunter and Jake, tells PEOPLE. “We are so over the moon!”
The couple are now in the process of building a new house about 20 minutes outside of Nashville, where they are downsizing from their current two-story home on seven acres.
“We decided to simplify our lives now that we are going to have another baby,” Taylor explains. ”We are building a one floor farmhouse. And since we mainly use the kitchen, living room and bedroom of our current home, we decided to go smaller this time because it’s more practical. We hope to have it finished before the baby comes in early November.”
Meanwhile, in addition to Taylor balancing her work for Opus, the American Red Cross, and other interests with her family life, both she and Lamar share in the duties of taking Ciel to preschool, where the toddler has made fast friendships.
However, once home, Ciel rules the roost!
“Ciel is a good listener and when she is home, she is the boss of the house,” Taylor laughs. “The boys get a kick out of her, and she keeps us all active with her energy for swimming and swinging. She is amazing and wise beyond her years!”
Taylor believes her family life is solid because she and Lamar blend their different strengths together.
“He is strong in areas where I am weak and vice versa,” she explains. “While we both come from families with parents who are close and have had long strong marriages, we are opposites in certain areas. But we love each other and our kids, and it really works.”
Cole will play "Greta," a character we don't remember from the original Brothers Grimm tale, but we're sure she'll be stunning.
Cole co-starred with Heath Ledger in his last movie, "The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus."
"We never really discussed it. I know that sounds crazy," Kathy told Hollywood 411, in an interview to air Sunday. "It was such pain, and everyone was in such pain, that we had therapy separately, a couple of sessions together, and we never discussed it again."
As for why she broke down during a recent interview with Piers Morgan, Kathy said she never expected the CNN host to ask her about the tape. "That's just such old news — that was a lifetime ago," she said.
Also on this week's episode, the show remembers the lives of two Hollywood icons who died this weekend two years ago: Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett.
Hollywood 411 airs Sunday nights at 7/6c on TV Guide Network.
Or so she says now that she's called it quits with her boyfriend of 18 months, nightclub dude Cy Waits...
"I'm not looking for anyone," the hotel heiress, 30, tells us. "I really want to focus on myself and get to know myself and be in Malibu with my girls and just enjoy the summer. So no, no one. I'm not looking for anyone."
Really?
"I've never been single in my life," she said. "It's the first time, so I just really want to get to know myself."
And there's no better way of doing that than party-hopping, right? Just last night, Ms. Hilton was among the celeb guests at RadioShack's launch event for the HTC EVO 3D. Also there was Hilton's reality show costar Allison Melnick along with Aaron Carter, Miley Cyrus' rocker brother Trace, Brenda Strong, Zachary Levi, Melissa Rycroft (more from her later), Corbin Bleu and Erika Christensen.
We're surprised Hilton didn't just skip across the street to the Restoration Hardware opening that was happening at the same time. Hosted by home store company's bossman Gary Friedman and Editor-in-Chief of Architectural Digest Margaret Russell, the soiree attracted guests like Ashton Kutcher, Marisa Tomei, Jaime King, Shiva Rose and celeb jewelry designer Loree Rodkin. The bash benefited Los Angeles County Museum of Art's Decorative Arts and Design Council.
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld a ruling Thursday denying the descendants of the ex-Playboy Playmate the $89 million-plus judgment previously awarded to her from late oil baron husband J. Howard Marshall's estate.
So what does the decision mean exactly? In a word, nada, as in, that's what Smith's infant daughter and sole heir, Dannielynn, will be getting now that the highest court in the land has weighed in.
In a 5 to 4 vote, the justices sided with the Marshall clan which claimed that Smith was entitled to not one penny of Marshall's $1.6 billion fortune. The verdict caps a 15-year legal battle that began in 1996, when the blonde bombshell sued her stepson Pierce Marshall for half his father's millions, claiming the elder Marshall promised to leave her $300 million.
Smith met the oil magnate in 1991, when he was 85 and she was a 25-year-old stripper then known as Vickie Lynn Hogan. Despite their 63-year age difference, they tied the knot in 1994 after Hogan changed her name to Anna Nicole Smith and became known internationally as a Guess model and Playboy pinup. Fourteen months later, Marshall was dead and left Smith out of his will, prompting her to sue for half his trust.
After hearing oral arguments from both sides, the Supreme Court backed a March 2010 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling which concluded that the bankruptcy judge that awarded Smith $89 million essentially lacked the constitutional authority to do so.
That figure stemmed from a $474 million judgment the former E! reality star received prior from a California bankruptcy court that was later reduced on appeal in 2002.
The 9th Circuit first vacated the award in 2004, stating the bankruptcy court overstepped its bounds when it overruled a state court in Texas, which decided that the elderly Marshall was of sound state of mind when he made his will and did not include Anna. The matter, known as Marshall v. Marshall, ended up before the Supreme Court which gave Smith another shot at making her case at the federal level.
Believing she didn't deserve a dime, Marshall's family continued the fight, even after Pierce passed away unexpectedly in 2006 and Anna herself died from a drug overdose the following year.
Revisiting the case, today's Supreme Court ruling effectively puts a limit on bankruptcy courts' jurisdiction in state court matters.
Lawyers for Smith's estate could not be reached for comment.
"This is definitely sexier than past campaigns we've done," she tells PEOPLE. "I guess you could say 'Hans and Franz' are celebrating season 9."
Good thing 20 fresh designers are eager to make the superstar some clothes!
The new season, which premieres July 28 (9 p.m. ET) on Lifetime, features Klum and her trusty co-judges Michael Kors and Nina Garcia, plus mentor Tim Gunn and a bevy of celebrity judges, including Kim Kardashian, Christina Ricci, Zoe Saldana and Malin Akerman.
On the season premiere, the 20 chosen designers – the most ever on the show – have to stand before the judges and tell them why they deserve to make the cut. Klum, Kors and Garcia will then narrow the field to 16 and guide the contestants to what Lifetime calls "one of the toughest first challenges in the series' history."
Expect fashion, fun and some serious drama.
Yet several days have passed where Hilton hasn't tweeted a peep about the former nightclub owner, the man who has helped get her in shape and with whom she has shopped for engagement rings.
Now, the explanation: "I can confirm that Paris Hilton and Cy Waits have ended their relationship," says Hilton's rep Dawn Miller. "It was a joint and amicable decision. They both have respect and care for one another and ask for you to please respect their privacy."
The couple's relationship played out publicly, however, on Hilton's Oxygen series The World According To Paris. In a recent episode, the two were seen arguing.
"Paris still thinks of Cy as a great influence on her life," a friend tells PEOPLE, "but she's just not ready for the next step in a relationship."
The friend adds, "they definitely are still friends."
Hilton told PEOPLE about her reality show last month, "it's like me going through the transition of turning 30, which has been really interesting. I feel like I've lived such a life and what else can really happen?"
"I'd been to every incredible party in the world," says Hilton, 30. "But I was going out with my girlfriends and dancing, having a lot of coffee and Red Bull. Being on the go, I would just grab fast food or skip meals because I was busy."
But that lifestyle drained her body and by last year, the 5'8" Hilton weighed just 105 pounds and fit into a size zero.
Hilton's mom, Kathy, took notice.
"She would be like, 'You're way too skinny. It doesn't look good,'" Hilton recalls. "I said, 'Mom, everyone is skinny in Hollywood. It's just the way it is.' And she's like, 'No. It's not normal.'"
Enter boyfriend Cy Waits, who also helped advise Hilton on getting healthy when the pair started dating last summer.
"He explained everything to me," Hilton says of Waits, a former nightclub owner. "Now I only eat organic foods when we're at home. He makes me watch documentaries on food, like Fast Food Nation, and he makes me aware of what things are good for your body because he's very into that."
By December, however, paparazzi thought Hilton was having too much of a good thing when she hit 125 lbs, and the pregnancy rumors followed.
"Even if I'm a few pounds overweight, people will be like, 'Oh, she's fat,'" says Hilton. "And it's not fair that it's like that, but it is."
Today, Hilton has settled in at 115 lbs., she goes jogging with Waits, and works with a nutritionist.
"I'm really happy with the weight I'm at," adds Hilton, whose show The World According to Paris airs Wednesdays on Oxygen. "I feel like it's healthy and normal … I'm just making smart choices."
For more on Paris's weight, bikini body and healthy habits, pick up this week's Most Amazing Bodies issue of PEOPLE magazine.
Warren's attorney -- Darren Kavinoky -- tells People.com, the "Planet of the Apes" star entered a residential treatment facility shortly after posting bail last month, and has been sporting the bracelet for the last 10 days.
Kavinoky adds, "She's committed to making the situation right and moving on in a way that's appropriate."
As TMZ first reported ... Estella was arrested May 23 -- after she slammed into three cars, kicked a cop and tried to escape from the police station. She was charged with DUI, hit-and-run driving, battery on a cop, and resisting arrest.
An arraignment scheduled for today was postponed. If convicted on all charges, Warren faces 2.5 years in jail.
The model, 33, and husband Alex Mehran are expecting a baby boy in November, Rizer announced on her blog.
“It’s true! Alex and I couldn’t possibly be more excited! We will be welcoming a baby boy this November!” she wrote.
“We’ve been having lots of fun these past few months getting ready for the new arrival and will be sure to let you know how things are with our ever-growing family.”
Rizer and Mehren wed in Sept. 2010 in Lake Placid, N.Y.
It must have happened within the last 4 hours too -- because that's when she last tweeted, presumably while she was still intact.
If there's ever a time to be a male nurse ...
The couple, who have been dating for a year, are currently going through a rough patch and are "reevaluating" things, sources tell me.
So what's causing this storm, and is the twosome still together?
They're still on...for now.
"Paris loves and respects Cy very much," a source close to Paris tells me. "He has been through a lot with her. But sometimes it's hard on the relationship because he's not used to this lifestyle, the media and being on a show."
Her Oxygen reality series has been a particularly sore subject for them.
"Cy is very upset with The World According to Paris," a source says. "He felt that way too much of their private life was shown. When he signed on to do the show, he had no idea the cameras would be so invasive."
Another issue is Paris' constant travel and Cy being based in Vegas.
"Cy has a daughter and he's very protective about keeping her out of the media and wanting her to lead a normal life," a source close to Cy says.
Despite their problems, he wants to make things work, but the heiress is unsure whether he's "the one".
"Sometimes he feels like Paris isn't ready to take the next step. They both love each other very much and are deciding what to do now."
Paris is wrapping up a promotional visit to Chicago, while Cy is currently spending time with his daughter in Vegas.
Dozens of people attended the ceremony at St Peter and Paul Church on a hill above the Vltava river in the centre of Seredova's native city.
Buffon and Seredova, both 33, have been together for six years.
Buffon, the world champion from 2006, and Seredova, the runner-up in the Miss Czech Republic 1998 contest, have two sons, Louis Thomas (3) and David Lee (1).
The wedding came after another disappointing season for Buffon whose Juventus finished seventh in Serie A for a second straight year.
A decade after a near-fatal car crash that left her critically injured, the supermodel mama of three is now four months' pregnant with her fourth child.
We just caught up with the more gorgeous than ever Taylor to chat babies, business and who she credits for saving her life nearly 10 years ago...
How is the pregnancy going?
Amazing! I feel amazing. I don't feel like I'm pregnant, I just am always hungry. Everything, and everything bad! But it's going great.
You said you are craving sugar and carbs. Were those your cravings in the previous pregnancies, too?
[With] the boys, I craved meat, and with Ciel, my daughter, it was yeah, more sugar and carbs too.
Do you think you're having a girl then?
No idea. I really don't but I'm going to find out.
Tell us about your recent involvement with the American Red Cross.
[Today is]] the third annual partnership between NexCare Bandages and the American Red Cross, which thanks blood donors and also inspires others to give and it's in celebration of World Blood Donor Day...My involvement is personal for me because I was a recipient back in 2001 when I was in a car accident and I needed over 100 units of blood.
How blessed do you feel today?
I am incredibly blessed because of donors. It's all because of that doctor, that nurse, that school teacher, that college student, that volunteer that rolled up their sleeves and ultimately gave me that second chance at life.
And giving blood is so simple.
It's a simple thing to do. It doesn't hurt, it's a little pinch...It's 20 minutes maybe and you're ultimately giving the gift of life.
The Planet of the Apes star was detained in Los Angeles late on 23 May after reportedly slamming her Toyota Prius into three parked cars and allegedly driving away. She was held on suspicion of DUI, but allegedly resisted arrest and tried to kick one of the officers.
Warren was escorted to a local police station to be booked for the accusations, but managed to slip out of her handcuffs and run out of the building during proceedings.
Charges for DUI, hit-and-run driving, battery on a cop and resisting arrest were officially filed against Warren on Thursday. She faces up to two-and-a-half years in jail if convicted on all counts, reports TMZ.com.
Reports initially suggested she would face an extra charge for felony escape - but that count was not included because she ran from the police station before she was technically booked for any crime.
Warren is due in court to face the charges next week.
The former Playboy Playmate, who once appeared on hit TV sitcom Frasier, was questioned by police after driving past a stop sign in Hollywood.
Cops discovered she already had a warrant out for her arrest stemming from a previous traffic violation and a search of her car turned up a stash of methamphetamines, according to TMZ.com.
The 31-year-old blonde was booked for the felony and released hours later on $11,000 bail.
"I've known [Barbara Walters] for years, and I really respect her as a journalist," Hilton said today in an exclusive sit-down with E! News anchor Giuliana Rancic. "I know that she has to ask questions like that. I think she should actually watch the show, then she'd understand more."
Questions like what, again?
In describing a scene from The World According to Paris in which Hilton complains about having to wake up early to do community service and says "it sucks," Walters reminded the seasoned reality-TV star about the days when she had just served jail time for DUI back in 2007.
"I think you're an adorable girl," Walters, whom Hilton apparently considered enough of a confidante to call from jail, assured her. "You learned a good deal...You said you wanted to spend a lot of time helping fellow [female] prisoners…I know you've raised a lot of money…But why haven't you done more of that and less of this?"
"I do charity work all the time," Hilton said. "That's something my family has brought me up to do, and it's shown in the show, as well. And I like to have fun—I joke around!"
Walters replied that she understood that, but if Hilton was serious about charity work and helping people, "Why not present that side of yourself, if indeed it exists?"
Hilton maintained her composure on the air, of course, but the rumor afterward, Rancic reminded her today, was that she and mom Kathy Hilton were "going ballistic backstage."
But according to her, that's just not true at all.
"Those were all rumors...as usual," Hilton said.
"I think they hadn't seen the show," she added. "They had only seen a clip where I'm complaining about my community service...You know, I'm not going to wake up at 6 in the morning and be all excited, 'Yeah, I'm doing community service!'
"I basically said it sucks, and I was being honest. I think they were offended by that, but I'm not really sure. I think [the so-called feud] was really blown out of proportion. It wasn't that big of a deal. I wasn't screaming at producers backstage.
"That's not true."
Hilton was so distraught after being thrown tough questions by "View" co-host Barbara Walters on Wednesday that she screamed at a producer backstage.
Hilton and her mother, Kathy, appeared on "The View" to promote her new show. Walters criticized Hilton for complaining in the first episode about her 200 hours of community service. She also questioned Hilton's claims of doing charity work and her desire to help other female prisoners -- neither of which is seen on the Oxygen show. Walters asked, "Why not present that side of yourself, if indeed it exists?"
Afterward and off-camera, both Paris and her father, Rick, berated a "View" producer, upset at the tone of the interview. A rep for the show confirmed the incident. Hilton's rep had no comment.
That night, Paris threw herself into a long round of partying with sister, Nicky. After the duo attended a launch for "World" at the Gansevoort Hotel, they dined with friends at The Darby, then partied at Avenue and 1Oak. The Hiltons ended up next door at Artichoke Basille's Pizza and Bar at about 3 a.m. Thursday morning.
Hours later, Hilton abuptly canceled a lunch with several magazine editors and an interview, with her team claiming she was sick, losing her voice and didn't want to infect others. By then, ratings for the "World" premiere had been tallied: an anemic 400,000 viewers. She took off for Spain Thursday night to support her Paris Hilton motorcycle racing team.
Hilton's rep said, "The decision was made by her management to reschedule two things that were not time-sensitive on Thursday." A rep for "The View" added, "We're sorry Paris felt she had to cancel some interviews."
Joanna claims she inked a deal with Zoe NYC back in 2009, allowing the company to use her image to sell its line of jewelry, embroidery, stones and swimwear, but the deal was only good for 3 months.
In the lawsuit, filed by attorney Stephanie Ovadia in New York City, Joanna claims Zoe continued to use her image to this day ... and that's just plain wrong.
Joanna was only paid $1,500 for the original shoot, but now she wants more than $250,000 for the use of her face and bangin' body.
She IS beautiful, and beauty don't come cheap.
Apparently not, according to Forbes magazine. The publication reports that the Brazilian-born, world's highest-paid supermodel since 2004 is on track to become the first billionaire in her field.
Besides being the face (and other parts) of Versace and Dior, the business-savvy 30-year-old aims to brand herself with her own line of jewelry, "green" cosmetics and lingerie, as well as sandals, says Forbes.
The publication also lauds her real-estate holdings. Among her properties, it reports: a hotel in the south of Brazil, land in an upper-crust region of Bahia, a villa in Costa Rica and a Brentwood, Calif., estate that she and Brady purchased for $11 million (for the land alone) and will reportedly spend another $20 million to develop.
When the gold dust settles, Forbes speculates, not only will Bündchen be the first billionaire supermodel, but also the first Brazilian female self-made billionaire. To borrow a term from Brady's game, touchdown.
The hotel heiress, who has previously starred in small screen shows such as The Simple Life and Paris Hilton's My New BFF, has returned to TV in a new fly-on-the-wall series called The World According to Paris.
Hilton latest venture premiered in the U.S. on Wednesday night, and the first show got off to a saucy start as the socialite was seen stripping off for a bubble bath.
The 30 year old was shown soaking in the tub, covering her breasts with one arm, and lathering up and washing her hair.
The program also showed Hilton arguing with her boyfriend Cy Waits after he found texts from a former lover on her cell phone, and featured a cameo appearance from Charlie Sheen's former partner Brooke Mueller, who is seen partying with the heiress at a nightclub.
While she has yet to sign off on a final image from a shoot held earlier this week, the show's host opted to bare all as part of the promotional campaign for the fashion competition series' ninth season, which will kick off this summer.
The decision was inspired by the cable network's push -- and for that matter, need -- to embrace the contemporary woman.
Since taking the reins a year ago, Lifetime president and general manager Nancy Dubuc has pushed both her programing and her marketing teams to move away from that "women in peril" stereotype that has plagued the one-time ratings champ in recent years.
Instead, her staff has been tasked with finding and celebrating female characters who are brazen, strong, confident and sexy. To hear Dubuc tell it, having Klum show off her model figure is a way of showcasing a woman who has all of those attributes.
Plus, she said with a big smile, "it's Heidi F--in' Klum."
A video of celebrity heiress and then-boyfriend Rick Salomon getting intimate in the bedroom hit the web in 2003 and was later released on DVD, entitled One Night In Paris.
Hilton opened up about the ordeal during a joint interview with her mum Kathy on CNN talk show Piers Morgan Tonight, which aired on Tuesday night.
She says, "I just felt so betrayed. This was not some random guy, this was someone I was with for a few years. I thought I did (love him). I can't believe that he would do something like that to me.
"It's something that changed my life forever. This is not what I planned. I didn't want to be known as that.
"Now when people look at me, they think that I'm something that I'm not, just because of one incident one night with someone who I was in love with. People assume, 'Oh, she's a s**t', just because of one thing that happened to me."
Kathy was seen wiping away tears as the TV star continued, "I'll have to live with that for the rest of my life and explain it to my children. It's something that's changed my life forever. I'll never be able to erase that."
Morgan tried to continue his interview, but Hilton switched her attention to Kathy - who was silently weeping at her daughter's revelations - and gave a her a hug. Morgan then offered to cut to an ad break as a crew member handed Paris a tissue to pass to her mother.
Kathy explains, "It was a very difficult time. We had therapy, and I think that that really helped (deal with the scandal)."
The company is the latest target of the feisty supermodel's anger following a new ad campaign, which features a chocolate Dairy Milk Bliss Bar resting on a pile of diamonds with the text: "Move over Naomi, there's a new diva in town."
Campbell seems to think that likening her to chocolate is outright racism.
Everybody's favorite cellphone-tossing supermodel said in a written statement she is considering "every option available" in her fight against Cadbury, which is owned by Kraft, after the company refused to yank the ad that ran last week in newspapers across the U.K.
"I am shocked," Campbell said. "It's upsetting to be described as chocolate, not just for me, but for all black women and black people. I do not find any humor in this. It's insulting and hurtful."
Campbell's mother even joined the battle, calling the ad an insult to black people and saying, "Shame on Cadbury."
The campaign group Operation Black Vote backed the supermodel in her anger over the ad, calling for the company to apologize, as well as encouraging a boycott of the company's chocolate.
A rep for Cadbury told CNN the campaign a "light-hearted take on the social pretensions of Cadbury Dairy Milk Bliss," adding that the company has no plans to repeat the campaign in the future.
The model and Sean Penn ex hosted a dinner party at Georgica in East Hampton on Sunday for her Angel Wings Foundation, where she told guests she started the charity to allow women who have been sexually abused to come forward and get help because she'd been through the nightmare herself.
"I was sexually abused as a child, and the work that my foundation does is not going to end sexual abuse, but it will definitely raise the awareness and give room for other women and girls to come forward and begin the healing process," White said. "This is personal to me, this is not something that I went and slapped my name on."
After the event, Jessica opened up to E! News in more detail about her painful experience...
White, who had never before stated who her abuser was, told us her former brother-in-law made her life hell when she was a young teenager.
"I was 14 years old, I never talked about who my abuser was," she told E! "It was my brother-in-law, my sister's ex-husband. For the first time I realized I kept it a secret for so long, but why when people weren't protecting me?" she said. "At 17, I told my older sister and asked her not to say anything, to not tear my family apart."
White says life at home was so hellish, she'd punch holes in the wall in order to deal with the secret she was carrying.
"I hated going home, I had holes in my wall, it was the worst situation that a child could ever be in," she said. "It was a very dark situation that I came from. But God used something very evil into something every powerful and beautiful. I don't want any other young girl to feel like it's their fault. The majority of the time it's caused by someone that you know."
The Sports Illustrated beauty says that she's turned into a "warrior" on the topic, and that she thinks it's her calling to help others that have gone through the same situation.
"This is my mission in life, I've actually lived it," she said. "When you think about that, you see why I'm very passionate about it. We may not be able to stop sexual abuse but we can minimize the stress intake. How I feel today, I truly believe if we team up and we can stop sexual abuse, we can prevent some pedophile from taking some girl's innocence."
White's foundation donated the money raised Sunday to UNICEF's City of Joy Program, which provides nearly 200 women between the ages of 14 and 35 with psychotherapy and an extensive training program offering literacy, economics and sexuality education in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The Victoria's Secret model's next step for victims is to take her message to the Internet. "I'm teaming up with other women and teenagers and we're gonna do a YouTube campaign, along with Gabrielle [Union] who also was sexually abused," she tells us. "We're all partnering together, and we're fighting to stop this altogether."
The 27-year-old seems to be in a much better place these days, going from model to mogul with a new skin care line, Devise Beauty, hitting shelves Oct. 1 and a budding music career working with Rihanna's team on song recordings.
"It's soulful pop, inspired by Tori Amos, my favorite artist on the planet," said White.
The beauty, who is currently wowing Broadway in Chicago, was devastated when her fourth marriage to Peter Cook came to an end in 2008 following revelations of his infidelities.
She paid her ex off with a $2 million settlement in exchange for custody of their two kids and ownership of her 18 properties.
And Brinkley is adamant that despite her string of bad luck with men, she's happy to fall for a guy all over again - as long as he has his own cash.
She tells Britain's Weekend magazine, "I haven't given up on love and I know the perfect guy is out there for me. I'm not seeing anyone at the moment... who has the time? But I know he's out there. I think it's important for a guy to be funny and kind and interesting, maybe kind of cute too.
"I think it would be good if it wasn't someone who was after my money. That would be nice. I plan to spend it all beforehand, then I can find him."
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... officials will not go forward with the felony escape charge against Warren because she hadn't actually been booked into the system when she made a break for it ... therefore she technically didn't commit felony escape.
As TMZ first reported, Warren was arrested Monday night after she allegedly hit a few parked cars with her Prius, left the scene, got arrested for DUI, kicked a police officer, and then bolted from the police station.
Warren is still facing charges for assault, hit and run and DUI.
Mueller's personal life has been in and out of headlines since Christmas 2009, when a heated dispute with Sheen left the actor facing domestic abuse allegations.
They are currently in the midst of divorce proceedings, but relations turned nasty again earlier this year as Sheen embarked on a media blitz following his firing from hit TV comedy Two and a Half Men.
Mueller was filming appearances for Hilton's new reality show The World According to Paris as the drama unfolded, and the hotel heiress admits it was difficult to watch her pal suffer so publicly.
Speaking on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Friday, Hilton said, "You know, it was a lot of things going on during that whole Charlie thing during the show and I think she was going through a lot."
Mueller has since turned to professionals to help her overcome substance abuse problems, which Hilton claims began when her pal was in her teens.
Hilton continues, "Right now she's in treatment and I'm wishing her the best. She's going through a lot.
"It has (been hard to see). It's definitely been something that she has been struggling with since her teen years and it's a daily struggle."
But the former Girls Next Door star says once she got booted from ABC's hit show, she and husband Hank Baskett started heating up between the sheets again.
"My body's back," Wilkinson, 25, recently told PEOPLE. "I need to hang up on my stripper pole again."
With all the baby-making behavior, does that mean Wilkinson and Baskett are trying for child number two?
"Hank and I need a couple more drunken nights," the Ab Cuts spokeswoman says. "We need to get drunk and have crazy sex a couple more times."
Asked if being intimate has improved since DWTS, Wilkinson nodded and said, "Yeah, oh my god, yeah.
Aside from a new lease on her sex life, Wilkinson says she loves the way being a Dancing alum feels in general.
Participating on the show "was a perfect new start to my new life," she says. "It really proved that I could be sexy with some clothes on. Not a lot of clothes, but it proved to myself that I can do something like this."
"I feel like the same person I've always been since birth, but I have a new head on my shoulders," she continues. "I'm a mom now. Life is different. But I'm still young. We're still fresh. I'm just having fun, but I would never go back in time and do Playboy again. That’s something I'll leave in my past."
Along with Wilkinson's newfound maturity comes another memoir where she will talk about the experiences that lead up to how she feels today.
Following the success of her first book Sliding Into Home, the reality starlet says her new work "is going to be crazy. I've been opening up more than ever. We're choosing a title right now."
The model and Planet of the Apes star landed herself in the slammer after allegedly smashing into three cars in Los Angeles on Monday.
The steering-challenged beauty drove away from the scene, was nailed by cops and ultimately arrested for DUI. And then it really got bad...
Warren, who was driving her Toyota Prius when the incident happened, initially resisted arrest—in other words, kicked a cop—after police caught up with her, but she was eventually cuffed and hauled off to the station after failing a field-sobriety test (go figure) just past midnight.
But that wasn't the end of her adventure.
When Warren was being booked, she managed to slip her skinny model wrists out of her handcuffs and bolted for the back door of the station, where she tried to escape.
Which, as most people know, is kind of frowned upon by cops.
The Sports Illustrated swimsuit hottie was quickly caught (again) and was rewarded for her efforts by being booked on an additional charge of felony escape. Which brought her rap sheet total up to four for the night: she's also facing charges on assault, hit and run and, of course, DUI.
Incidentally, while Warren has publicly cited her age as 32, her booking report lists her as 40. Though in fairness, she can definitely pass for younger.
Her bail has been set at $100,000.
As a result of these circumstances, the former supermodel now reveals, she suffered anxiety attacks – and the prescribed antidepressant, Lexapro, took a toll of its own on her, she reveals in a self-penned editorial on The Huffington Post.
Admitting that such factors as her brief DWTS stint in 2007 stoked her panic attacks ("[I] just couldn't figure out what I had done wrong to be so disliked"), Porizkova, 46, writes that she turned to the drug at her doctor's suggestion.
A year later, "when I had to have a physical for insurance on America's Next Top Model, I truthfully wrote down the only medication I took, Lexapro," she says. "Unfortunately, this was promptly broadcast all over the ANTM production set. … I was judged crazy. Unstable."
Two years into being medicated she noticed that not only was her anxiety being dulled, but so was her personality. One side effect: a "sexual distancing from my husband," musician Ric Ocasek.
"I felt emotionally Botoxed," she writes. "I decided that this affair had all the drawbacks of an affair."
After quitting the antidepressant, Porizkova bumped up her exercise regime to offset the withdrawal, "three weeks of being tired and shaky from wrangling with awful dreams."
She also found herself fighting the daily urge to pop a pill: "I could finally understand the drug addicts who had cleaned up but wrestled with the urge to use every day," she writes.
"I'm certainly not an anti-medicine crusader. [But] I'm starting to wonder whether antidepressants can often be the emotional equivalent of plastic surgery."
Dickinson, 56, said she found herself "diving under the table like a porpoise," at Sant Ambroeus, where the self-anointed "first supermodel" lost two temporary teeth and had the whole eatery searching for her precious pearly whites the other day.
"It was the most incredulous moment that you'd never want to happen," says Dickinson of the dental disaster at the trattoria popular with the likes of Kourtney Kardashian, Alexa Ray Joel and Stacey Bendet.
Before digging into lunch with a pal, she says she discreetly removed two "slippers," or temporary teeth, and hid them in her napkin. "I was so excited talking to [my friend] that I put my teeth in my napkin, and then I couldn't find them! Did they fall into the soup? These things are so expensive they could feed a small village," she says.
The former "America's Next Top Model" judge and recent "Celebrity Rehab" patient then began frantically searching under the table, ultimately "beseeching" customers and staff to help locate the pricey choppers.
"I was like Lucille Ball on crack," Dickinson admitted. When fellow diners noticed her on the floor, one asked her, "Did you lose a contact?" She wailed, "OMG, no! It's my teeth," before recruiting "the entire restaurant" to join the hunt. She added, "I was under the table and it was sticky."
Once she finally found the back tooth and a "small one in the front" on the floor under the table, Dickinson says she slipped into the bathroom, washed them off, popped them back in and returned, supermodel-style, "flashing her pearly whites."
"Age sucks," she quipped. "And thank God my boyfriend wasn't there," she added of her brand-new 32-year-old beau, David Blakely. "OMG, no one wants a snaggletooth."
The 18-year-old underwear model hit headlines earlier this month after the hip-hop star was photographed kissing a blonde beauty on his hotel balcony in Cannes, France.
But Upton insists she is not the mystery woman romancing West in the pictures.
In a series of posts on her Twitter.com page, she writes, "Hey I said I wasn't in Cannes, come on that girl doesn't even look like me... I'm not with kanye... I'm not dating kanye."
Police were called to the Playmate-turned-actress' California home late on Wednesday night after receiving reports of a fight.
The model was arrested after cops noticed visible marks on her husband, Laurent Homburger, according to TMZ.com. The website reports Homburger was also arrested on a domestic violence charge.
The couple was taken to a police station in Beverly Hills where they were booked in the early hours of Thursday.
Sand has been released on bail but Homburger was still in custody.
The model, 36, made her big announcement Wednesday via Twitter, posting a message that read, "Guess what's in this photo?" attached to a picture of Taylor holding an ultrasound image.
She quickly followed that note with a second photo of herself kissing husband Burney Lamar as he holds their daughter Ciel, 2, writing, "YES!! We are expecting our fourth child! So happy and blessed!"
Taylor and race car driver Lamar, 30, wed in Dec. 2006. The model is also mom to identical twin sons Hunter and Jake, 16, from her previous marriage.
"She was so chic and seamless," Moss tells the The Daily Telegraph. "And just beautiful. It was just as a royal wedding should be."
Moss (who excitedly tells the paper of her namesake, "Oh, I love her!") watched the April 29 ceremony "in the country, with friends, and kids who were all crying. We were like, 'You can marry Harry!' "
The model will now be turning her attention to another important wedding: She's marrying musician fiancé Jamie Hince in July.
For the girl who has always wanted to show her fans a picture of perfection, airing her more vulnerable moments, including arguments with boyfriend Cy Waits, was not an easy decision for Hilton. "We shot that a few months ago and watching it back in the editing room I was like, 'Everything's perfect now, do I really want to relive this on television?'" says Hilton. "Years ago I would have been like, 'No way.' The BFF shows, all of that was about being perfect. But life's not perfect, people have ups and downs, and I want to show that and be relatable. I'm just like anyone else."
Also opening herself up to the cameras like never before is Hilton's friend and the ex-wife of Charlie Sheen, Brooke Mueller, who was notably absent from the premiere. "She's getting help right now and she's been going through struggles. I don't think this is the right environment for her, so I'm actually glad she's not here," said Hilton. "I pray for her every day and I wish her the best."
Tough times aside, Hilton says viewers will see her at her happiest and can expect tons of laughs as well. "The World According to Paris is my world. It's exciting, it's fun, it's unpredictable and you never know what's going to happen," she says. "I really live life to the fullest. People are going to go through a journey with me and I'm excited for people to see it!"
The savvy businesswoman and Celebrity Apprentice judge, 29, also talks about her expectations for motherhood and her hopes for her first child with husband Jared Kushner, 30, in the June issue of Harper’s Bazaar.
The good news: Her cravings are mild, and include only double-toasted salt bagels with cream cheese.
The not-so-good news: Long before the birth, she’s already in mommy overdrive.
“I do have a bit of first-time-mom syndrome,” she admits, chuckling over the piles of books on pregnancy, mothering, and early-childhood development she’s assigned herself.
“I’m already on what I should be doing when she is three and when I should introduce new languages,” including French and Mandarin Chinese.
With the famously luxurious Trump lifestyle ready to greet the baby, she says she and Kushner will strive to make sure their daughter earns her privileges.
“We have our work cut out for us to ensure that our daughter is grounded and not spoiled,” she says.
And although she hasn’t yet embarked on motherhood, she’s already been subjected to one big surprise: How often a newborn baby needs to eat.
“I was in total shock,” Trump says. “I work so close [to home] that I figured I’d return to work and the baby nurse would bring the baby to me, and I’d run home periodically, and I’d make it work. But every two hours? That’s a whole other level,” she says. “I’ll have to make a nursery at the office.”
Even so, she’s not afraid of a little hard work – and, in fact, she’s eager for more.
“I’d love to have three or four kids,” she says. “But my mom always says, ‘Speak to me after you have your first.’

Campbell's Fashion for Relief charity organized the show and an auction that followed to raise money for the Japanese Red Cross to aid victims of the recent earthquake and tsunami there.
Scores of celebrities, in town for the Cannes Film Festival, turned out to support Monday's event, while a small army of models donated their time, walking in red carpet-ready looks from Lanvin, Jean Paul Gaultier, Sonia Rykiel, Valentino and a host of other top labels.
From her front-row perch, Ivana Trump hailed the decision to hold the show in Cannes during the 12-day-long film festival here as "a brilliant choice.
"All the rich people are in town for the festival, people in movies and in fashion, so they can reach into their pockets and give money to help," said Trump, looking elegant in a black minidress with a bedazzled dipping neckline. She said she hadn't yet seen any movies but planned to spend the final six days of the prestigious cinema showcase shuttling between her homes in Cannes, Monaco and Saint Tropez while attending some select films.
Another audience member, designer Peter Dundas — whose label Pucci has long been considered an iconic brand in Japan — said he'd turned out for Monday's event because "Japan's disaster is our disaster.
"More than ever, we can't think that just because something happens on the other side of the world it doesn't concern us. Of course it does," he said.
Editor-in-cheif of Japanese Vogue Anna Della Russo said the "it's in the Japanese character to be really strong and optimistic" but "they really do need help."
Asked whether she thought the disaster would affect the Japanese's notoriously extravagant sense of style, the envelope-pushing style maven exclaimed, "I hope not because they're so crazy about fashion like me and I don't want that to change."
In addition to the flock of professionals — both from the current herd of young girls that rule today's catwalks to industry veterans, led by Campbell herself, in a long lean black number — models also included tennis champ Djokovic and Grace Hightower, who's married to the president of this year's Cannes jury, Robert De Niro.
At age 73, Fonda looked divine in a shimmering second-skin gown, while Dawson rocked a floor-length burnt orange number. The crowd devoured both, showering them in applause.
None of the nonprofessional models had any problems, but one of the hottest models of the moment was undone by her oversized meringue gown. She fell once and then again and again and again — four times in a single passage — before falling again her next time out, in a sundress and towering platforms.
"We really do love to travel, but being parents, we travel less now then we have in the past," Bündchen, 30, who welcomed baby Benjamin with husband Tom Brady in Dec. 2009, tells PEOPLE. (Tom also has a son Jack, with ex Bridget Moynahan.) "It's definitely more challenging traveling with a child."
And though her work as the world's top paid model and environmental activist does often require her to be away from home, "we are constantly coordinating our daily schedules to make sure we have some family time every day," she said at the reception for the Harvard Center for Global Health and the Environment's Global Environmental Citizen Award, where she was honored.
"There is nothing more rewarding then to come home and see them after a long day of work," she said. "As his mom, I think everything Benjamin does is cute."
What about when mom and dad need some alone time?
"Sometimes we have date nights, sometimes we have hikes together," Bündchen said of Brady, who is quarterback for the New England Patriots. "The most important thing, I think, is to find the time to be with each other. We cherish the time we have together."
The show will be held Monday at a historic market not far from the headquarters of the French Riviera movie showcase, which is in full swing though May 22.
Campbell told Associated Press Television News that the theme of the show is red carpet, so "we thought it was appropriate" to stage it in Cannes.
She added, "You have to remind people that they still need help, so it had to be now."
Campbell's Fashion for Relief charity staged its first show in 2005 and says that since then it has raised 4.5 million pounds ($7.2 million).
Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill, 29, married model Lily Aldridge, 25, on Thursday in California, his rep confirms to PEOPLE.
"It was a perfect day," says Followill.
The couple exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony with just family in attendance at the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, Calif., at 5:30 p.m..
The bride wore a custom made strapless Vera Wang gown with layers of chantilly and corded lace appliqué and raw edge swirling chiffon detail at the back. The groom wore a Gucci suit.
The couple, engaged since last fall, plan to have a larger party at a later date following their small, intimate ceremony, the groom's bandmate and brother Jared recently told PEOPLE.
Aldridge has already been welcomed into the Followill family with open arms. Says Jared: "We love her!"
Kings of Leon hits the road again in late May in support of their latest album, Come Around Sundown.
A man accused of stalking Donald Trump's eldest daughter, Ivanka, was remanded by a New York judge to a psychiatric facility for further evaluation after confessing that E.T.'s may have been to blame for his continued harassment of the Apprentice star.
So where will he be phoning home from?
A Manhattan Criminal Court Thursday determined that 28-year-old Justin Massler was incapable of understanding that he violated an order of protection prohibiting him from contacting Trump or members of her family. The decision was based on preliminary findings of two court-appointed psychiatrists.
As a result, per the New York Daily News, the judge ordered Massler to spend a year at the psychiatric ward at New York's Bellevue Hospital. Unless that is, doctors feel he's fit to stand trial on a half-dozen felony counts, including stalking and sending harassing emails and tweets to Ivanka and her hubby, Jared Kushner.
If however, he isn't all there, he could end up being held at Bellevue for a maximum of four years.
At today's proceeding, Massler, dressed in a T-shirt and jeans, didn't help his cause when, upon being told he was headed for a head check, he interrupted the judge with an outburst blaming his actions on beings from beyond.
"The psychiatric system was corrupt," he said. "I feel that I was under some supernatural influence and that aliens could have been involved."
Massler, who apparently won't take no for an answer, was busted last April after another online barrage in which he professed his love for the younger Trump; suggested taking over The New York Observer, the newspaper Kushner publishes; started a chilling fan page dedicated to Ivanka; and threatened to commit suicide if she didn't reciprocate.
Needless to say, it turns out the Nevada native has a history of psychiatric problems, mostly involving schizophrenia.
"It's unfortunate that someone who had so much promise growing up would be affected by mental illness this way, and cause him to deteriorate to this level," said his attorney, George Vomvolakis, who agreed with prosecutors to send his client to the mental ward.
A rep for Ivanka could not be reached for comment.
TMZ spoke with Hilton ... who tells us, "I apologize to Lindsay for the comment that I made. I was joking around but it was thoughtless and unnecessary."
We broke the story ... Hilton zinged Lohan on her reality show, "The World According to Paris" -- taking a shot at Lohan about her theft case. Lohan told friends she was hurt by the comment.
But Hilton insists she's serious about repairing the relationship ... saying, "I am reaching out to Lindsay so I can tell her myself."
Lindsay is telling friends, "[Paris] is mean. You don’t have to make fun of serious matters in people's lives to be funny."
We posted the clip this morning from Hilton's new reality show "The World According to Paris" -- in which Paris gives a homeless woman her earrings ... and the woman mistakes Paris for Lindsay.
Paris responds -- "If I were Lindsay, I would be stealing earrings ... not giving them away."
This feud is so 2006.
"This is the one time I feel like Barbie and act like Barbie," the reality mom, 25, told reporters backstage right after her ballroom farewell. "I'm going to miss the glamorous life – the best hair and makeup, the best costumes, the best partner."
"You can't get more glamorous than you are on Dancing with the Stars," she said. "I don't think I will ever [be this glamorous] the rest of my life."
Wilkinson's partner Louis van Amstel agrees that the former Girls Next Door star looked great strutting her stuff over the last seven weeks, but he says her beauty is more than skin deep.
"She went from being a pretty girl on the outside to being a woman on the inside who is just happy with who she is," the ballroom pro told PEOPLE. "It's so much more than dancing."
Van Amstel isn't the only one who commends his partner's progress on the show.
"I give her props," Wilkinson's hubby Hank Baskett, 28, told PEOPLE. "I told her that the best thing about it is she showed the world how incredible of a woman she is. Last night was my favorite ballroom dance thus far. She looked like Barbie last night. It was amazing. She'll take this with her for life. I'm just very proud of what she's done."
Glitz and glamour aside, Wilkinson says she's actually "very happy" with how her run on the show ended, and she looks forward to spending more time with her "backbone" Baskett and their little son Hank.
"I'm missing baby Hank so much right now," she said. "That's all I'm thinking about right now. I'm thinking about being back with him and picking him up out of his crib and just eating him up … I'm back to being a stay-at-home mom."
Tyra Banks: "My brother has been a US soldier for over 20 years. Today I salute him and all of our brave, selfless military women and men."
Even while shopping they can't keep their hands off each other! Heidi Klum and Seal stopped into Crystalarium in West Hollywood – and as they perused the jewelry and crystal, it was their affection for each other that was really on display. "It was like Valentine's Day in April," an onlooker says. "They looked unbelievably adorable together, and they never seemed to let go of each other – with Seal holding Heidi's hand the entire time."
It took the jury less than an hour to convict Nathan Lee Parada of trying to break into the socialite's home last August.
As TMZ first reported, Parada was thwarted by Hilton's boyfriend Cy Waits ... who pulled a gun on the suspect before the dude could get inside.
Parada is set to be sentenced on June 29. He faces up to three years in state prison.
The man who accosted the couple and tossed water in the face Cy Waits outside the Los Angeles courthouse pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery and has been sentenced to 227 days in jail.
The couple were walking into a Van Nuys courthouse to testify against an alleged home intruder, when James Rainford approached the duo.
He was quickly tackled by security and turned over to the police. He told the assembled media that he was just tyring to propose to Paris.
City attorney's spokesman Frank Mateljan says Rainford entered the plea during a court appearance earlier today, and was immediately sentenced.
In addition to the 227 days in a county lockup, Rainford was given three years of informal probation and ordered to stay away from Waits and Hilton after his release.
The hotel heiress goes to court to testify against an alleged home intruder only to see herself and boyfriend Cy Waits attacked by someone else as they made their way into the building.
"Omg @KathyHilton! That other psycho intruder just punched Cy in the back of the head as we were walking into the court house. So scary!," she tweeted, sad emoticon and all.
What's a girl to do?!
E! News witnessed the man as he broke through a pack of press and paparazzi and threw water at Waits' face outside the Superior Court building in Van Nuys as the couple made their way toward the court Wednesday afternoon.
The man then grabbed Waits' neck before the attacker was dragged to the ground by Hilton's security team who subdued him in a headlock.
"After the attack, they realized he is the same intruder that showed up to her home on a bicycle a few months ago. He has now been taken into custody. They are both a bit shaken up but thankful security acted quickly," the socialite's rep tells E! News. "The attacker assaulted Cy from behind.
The man, who ID'd himself Jim Rangford (or Rainford), later told E! News that all he wanted was an autograph from Hilton and to ask her father, Rick Hilton, for permission to propose to her.
After the hearing, Paris' private security guard, Mason Burroughs, said Paris is now doing "great" after he safely escorted her out of the building.
Van Nuys police have detained the man for questioning and are conducting an investigation but have not released any further information.
Outside the courtroom, L.A. Sheriff's deputies were heard discussing the fact that they offered Hilton security for today's court hearing, but she turned them down.
"We cant control people who don't want to be controlled," the deputies were overheard saying.
Ironically, Waits is the same beau who heroically came to Paris' rescue at Casa Hilton last August by disarming 31-year-old Nathan Lee Parada. The would-be stalker is on trial for allegedly breaking into her house brandishing two big knives—he was arrested after Cy held him at gunpoint until cops arrived.
"Just to clear up some rumor going around," Hilton tweeted, directing her followers to an Extra interview in which she insists she wasn't even on the road that day, let alone barreling through Beverly Hills.
"I was so shocked when I read that, too," Hilton told Mario Lopez at the Grove, referring to the story that sprung from a series of Shahi tweets in which she called Paris the "worst driver ever" and a "horrible excuse for a human being."
"First of all, I wasn't even driving that day," the unwitting roadblock said. "I just came back from Vegas with my boyfriend—and we were home relaxing. I hadn't even been in the car that day. I literally came with a driver from the airport and went to my house. Then later on I read that, I'm like 'Dude, I wasn't even driving,' so I don't know. Maybe it was some other blond girl who looked like me."
There's been no Twitter response from Shahi yet, her last post referring to the Paris situation being from Friday and reading: "One more thing blonde piece of s--t—you're not an elitist just because you have money. You should apologize... To humanity. nowi'mdone."
If indeed that was not her on the road that day, Hilton is being awfully gracious about this.
"There are a lot of Paris Hilton look-alikes, who do it for a living," she insisted. "They're always doing things and I'm getting blamed for it. So this could be another incident like that."
And if Hilton is lying, golly gee, that is one lousy excuse!
Model Marisa Miller is reportedly in talks to join Simon Cowell's "X-Factor" as a host. JustJared reports that the Victoria's Secret bombshell has had multiple meetings with producers about hosting the show.
"She is a big contender in the running," a source adds.
The rumor mill has been going full force when it comes to the upcoming talent show, with many names dropped for potential involvement. Previously rumored hosts have included Taylor Momsen and Enrique Iglesias. Contenders for judges seats have ranged from Cheryl Cole and Paula Abdul to Jessica Simpson.
Only two celebs have been confirmed thus far. L.A. Reid is signed on to judge and Mariah Carey is set to be involved in some mysterious capacity that may include "judging the judges."
Miller is the current face of Harley Davidson, Captain Morgan and the NFL. Would you like to see her beautiful face on FOX this Fall?
But it's not just Hilton who brings intensity to the small-screen in her latest reality TV venture. The socialite says when her show premieres June 1, viewers will see "everything" unfold with her tabloid-friendly pal and costar Brooke Mueller, who has been fighting addiction publicly while battling her ex, Charlie Sheen.
"Brooke's an open book," Hilton, 30, told PEOPLE on Friday, while promoting The World According to Paris at NBCUniversal Summer Press Day at the Langham Hotel in Pasadena, Calif. "She's not afraid to show who she is. She's not afraid to tell the truth. And as a producer of the show, I love that for TV. I love someone who's not afraid to show everything."
Hilton and her mom Kathy continue to stand by Mueller, 33, even when the cameras aren't rolling.
"What she's going through is a daily struggle," Kathy notes. "It's a work in progress."
Adds Paris, "We've been friends for years. My mom and her are very close, and she's one of my good friends as well."
And luckily Paris's close ties with Sheen, a neighbor, don't impact her relationship with Mueller.
"Brooke doesn't mind that we're friends," Paris says. "She knows that I met him before I met her."
The duo got a backstage tour during which they met cast members Will Swenson, Nick Adams and Tony Sheldon. A spy told us, "They gave the leading men high marks on their ability to walk [and dance] so gracefully in 6-inch stilettos while singing at the same time."
Especially after the show's star, Sarah Shahi, hit Twitter Friday with some tweets of fury after allegedly being nearly run over by Hilton. But don't let us sugarcoat it for you, hear exactly what Sarah tweeted on the jump:
"Paris Hilton—worst driver ever," Shahi wrote. "Almost hit me, then ran a stop sign. What if there was a kid around that corner, you dumb b-tch."
But wait, there's more.
"Paris Hilton—horrible excuse for a human being," Shahi went on to tweet. "What an irresponsible person…what a lame existence. I wouldn't be as pissed if I wasn't a mom."
Meanwhile, Hilton has yet to comment on Shahi's rant.
And she doesn't seem particularly fazed…
"What a beautiful day in LA today, I love this city," Hilton tweeted Friday.
This could get interesting.
"I do think it's a state of mind," says the original French supermodel turned designer and fashion consultant -- and, more recently, and much to her surprise, best-selling style book author.
"There are people who want to buy a lot. I'm the one saying, 'Don't buy a lot -- buy the good things'."
Since it came out in France last fall, "La Parisienne" has sold well over 100,000 copies, entertaining readers with its chummy, cheery prose and prompting an English version -- "Parisian Chic" -- for an Anglo-Saxon market crowded with finger-wagging what-not-to-wear guides.
"I didn't write it to be a best-seller," said De La Fressange, 53, who last October reappeared on the pret-a-porter runway for Chanel, where she attained iconic status as Karl Lagerfeld's androgynous muse in the 1980s.
"French women generally say they're not really interested in fashion, so when I was told that it had sold more than Harry Potter or Keith Richard's autobiography... it certainly was a surprise."
Conceived like a Moleskine notebook with a burgundy cover, it draws on De La Fressange's lifetime in fashion -- and her habit of making lists for advice-seeing friends -- to explain what it takes to truly look Parisian.
To hear her tell it, it's effortless.
Six rules apply: Mix styles and never coordinate. Reject bling. Explore new labels. If it feels right, wear it. Worship no fashion idols. Beware good taste.
Then stock your closet with a blazer ("belt it!"), trench coat (Burberry if possible, but not necessarily), navy sweater ("more sophisticated than a plain black sweater") and tank top ("a classy supporting act").
Not to forget a little black dress ("not simply an item of clothing, it's a concept"), the "perfect" jeans ("like salt, they go with everything") and finally a leather jacket ("guaranteed to save any overly-conventional look").
From those basics, accessorise as you wish. Keep your wardrobe minimal and regularly clear out what you no longer wear. Oh, and smile. "You can carry off anything with a smile," she writes.
Being of a certain age herself, De La Fressange devotes a few pages to those over 40.
"Never neglect yourself," she writes. Don't get stuck in a style you wore in your 30s, otherwise "it will age you instantly." And for those over 50, steer well clear of fur, unless you want that "wrinkled trophy wife" look.
Ironically for a style consultant at Roger Vivier, the Parisian accessories house whose eponymous founder invented the stiletto shoe, De La Fressange favours flats over heels, and raves about Converse sneakers.
"There are a lot of women who think it's not possible to go out without high heels," she told AFP in an telephone interview from Normandy, where she was on a pre-Easter break.
"It's incredible... If they put on high heels just because they think they are too short, well, nobody cares that much."
For shopping, De La Fressange namechecks Monoprix, an unassuming French department store chain not unlike K-Mart or Marks and Spencer.
She also recommends venturing into the menswear department -- "it's usually very good, or sometimes too much for men but perfect for us" -- or dabbling in the children's section.
"I'm a shopaholic but I know you don't need that much to look good," she explained. "It's better to invest in some pieces like a nice handbag and nice shoes. For clothes, you can manage with cheaper things."
De La Fressange is the first to admit that her vision of Parisian style "totally, absolutely" reflects the well-heeled, intellectual Saint Germain des Pres neighbourhood where she lives.
But she concedes that if she lived in any other city, her signature look would no doubt be different: "Personally, if I'd lived in London, for instance, I'm sure I would have a much more crazy style."
To model the looks in "La Parisienne" in paparazzi-like telephoto sidewalk scenes, De La Fressange conscripted her look-alike daughter Nine d'Urso, 17, a high-school senior more interested in Ancient Greek than runways.
"She thought I asked her only because I didn't have money to pay a real model," said the clearly proud mum, whose own mother was a model as well. "Being a model doesn't interest her at all."
De La Fressange herself is making a return to modelling, having walked for Jean Paul Gaultier during the spring-summer 2009 haute couture collections and then reappearing for Chanel.
While holding down her day job at Roger Vivier, she is also featuring in bus-stop posters for a major Parisian department store -- it's not Monoprix -- and signed a contract with L'Oreal.
"It looks like a joke but it's not," said De La Frassange, who feels happier today than she did in her heyday on the runway. "I told them, do you want to be politically correct and have an old lady, and they said not at all."
Yes. This whole thing just got a lot weirder.
The 42-year-old model, who was snapped in January by sneaky photogs on a St. Bart's beach dressed in a bikini while strolling and kissing her eldest kid in what looked like a passionate clench, had dismissed the crazy talk about their affection on Oprah. Likewise, her son took to Facebook right afterwards to say they had "nothing to hide" and that not only is he not dating his mother, he wouldn't because he is openly gay.
But now, Seymour is talking to Town & Country magazine, where she goes into a bit more detail on exactly why the two were caught smacking lips.
She says she had been feeling insecure and completely embarrassed to be seen in a bathing suit (the horror!) because she'd gone and gained a whopping 10 pounds. Like anyone could tell.
So, that being the case, her theatrical son knew she was self-conscious and, during their sandy walk, decided to grab her and pretend to woo her like "one of the stars in one of the movie musicals" the family loves to watch together.
Mystery solved?
Not quite.
See, Peter wrote in his Facebook screed that the two played up their kiss because they knew photogs were lurking nearby. However, Seymour states the opposite, telling the magazine that they thought they were alone.
"I tell my children not to believe everything they read," she says. "Don't believe your press when it's good, or when it's bad. Just move forward and stick to your goals. Don't get caught up in all that nonsense. And that beach photograph nonsense was really ridiculous."
As for her reconciliation with the ultra-wealthy Peter Brant, the duo live in separate houses and are in therapy, but share custody of their kids and spend holidays together as a family.
The twosome decided to but the kibosh on their divorce proceedings once every little detail started to become public, Seymour says. The model and the mogul kissed and made up just 24 hours before court proceedings were to start, saying they wanted to remain married and try to work things out. How did that happen after Brant labeled the mother of his three children a boozing, drug-using cheater? With a rug.
Yes, they reunited over a rug.
Seymour says that after crippling bouts of sadness that would keep her inside her bedroom for days on end before the trial was to begin. She tells the story of being at a loss for what to say after her and Brant had both publicly dragged each other through the mud. So she thought of the old Navajo blanket Brant had kept since he was 19 and left at the house where she was staying.
Seymour went over to his house with the peace offering, knocking on the door and telling him to get rid of their lawyers and make up. They called off the proceedings and are now trying to "work it out."
"I'm not perfect. He's not perfect," she says. "What we've done is tried to come together. And we've decided that this is our personal and private family business."
Unless you're caught tonguing your son down on the beach. That, you must explain.
While the quickstep proved a giant misstep this week for the Dancing with the Stars contestant, her fellow cast members had nothing but glowing praise for the supermodel and tsunami survivor who has dedicated her life to charity work.
"I don't know how to take [her elimination], because I love her," former rival Kirstie Alley told PEOPLE shortly after the announcement of Tuesday night's results. "She's the sweetest, most amazing, bright spirit in the universe."
Nemcova's spirit proved infectious – even at the lowest of times on the show.
"I was venting to her last night [about being in the bottom] and she goes, 'You know, sometimes it is a blessing in disguise,' " said pro dancer Karina Smirnoff, who, along with partner Ralph Macchio (and Kendra Wilkinson and Louis van Amstel), was also in last place Monday night. "I was like, 'Who are you, Mother Teresa?' But it's nice to know that there are people like her out there."
On the Positive Side
Even after being booted from one of the top-rated shows in America, Nemcova still finds a silver lining.
"I will be always thankful for all the support from the audience and mainly for everyone who got inspired and started to do something to help children who are forgotten after natural disasters," Nemcova said.
In 2006, the Czech model founded the Happy Hearts Fund after suffering a broken pelvis and other internal injuries during the tsunami in Thailand. Through the organization she is now helping to rebuild schools and improve educational programs in natural disaster stricken areas around the world.
Nemcova has also involved some of her DWTS family in the good work.
"She's just so giving and generous and her charity is so important to her – so much so that she has asked me to be a part of it," said Macchio. "And that's the beauty of coming together in a situation like this show. She's a sweetheart."
He not only hit Roxbury nightclub, but he spent most of the evening with a very pretty blonde gal.
Well, buzz is that that the mystery girl was a Victoria's Secret model.
So what's the deal?
An Internet rumor is spreading hat not only was the Zacster getting really close to Candice Swanepoel at the club, but also they ended up going home together.
Turns out the woman in question was not Swanepoel. "He wasn't at the club with her," says a source. "He was with Laura New. She's a friend of Zac's and Vanessa's."
New is a singer in pop music group The Beach Girl5.
In fact, guess whom Hudgens was with at Coachella this weekend. Yeah, her Journey 2: The Mysterious Island costar Josh Hutcherson, but also with Ms. New.
And in the spirit of all things Zac and gal pals, he was spotted just last night at the Plan B concert at the El Rey theater in L.A. with a couple of unidentified ladies by his side.
Let another round of guessing games begin!
Keep reading to find out which of them – if any! – were in jeopardy of going home and the identity of the couple ultimately eliminated on Tuesday's show.
In the end, Petra Nemcova was eliminated.
The supermodel was joined in the bottom three Tuesday night by Chris Jericho and Cheryl Burke and Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
"It's been a life-changing journey," she said after the decision was announced, "and I've made amazing friends. So many people got inspired because of ... Dancing with the Stars."
On Tuesday's show, host Tom Bergeron also announced that DWTS pro Mark Ballas would be performing on a future episode with recently-ousted American Idol contestant (and rumored girlfriend) Pia Toscano.
"Finally, I got a dance that I was into! It was fun. It was happy and it was a celebration of my confidence," a beaming Wilkinson told PEOPLE minutes after the show. "My confidence went from night and day from last week to tonight. I'm so happy."
Last week, Wilkinson took offense to judge Carrie Ann Inaba's comments that her Viennese waltz lacked elegance. But a week of cooling off and "a lot of heart-to-heart talks with Louis" allowed Wilkinson to gain some perspective on the situation. The result was a more self-assured performance.
"We really worked hard this week," said Wilkinson, who earned 22 points with Amstel, leaving them tied with two other couples for the bottom spot on the leader board. "Even though our scores weren't so good, I give myself a 10 for how good I felt out there."
Another couple will be eliminated on Tuesday's Dancing with the Stars, which airs at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.
The Australian model rocked the two-piece during a Victoria's Secret photo shoot in Malibu, Calif., on Sunday.
It's hard to believe Kerr, who married Flynn's dad, Orlando Bloom, last July, gave birth on Jan. 6.
But the model's figure shouldn't be too shocking – Kerr, 27, gave us a taste of her progress a few weeks ago when she attended an event in Los Angeles wearing a figure-hugging Hervé Léger by Max Azria zip front dress.
She's also a celeb who's doing her part to save the planet by getting her green on.
So what's her top tip for being eco-friendly around the house?
"I try to be not so wasteful," the supermodel mama told us at the Kids' Choice Awards in honor of Earth Week.
"I think that you can start already in your home," she says. "Not to be so wasteful. Not to buy so many things, and food or to teach the kids not to throw things away or put everything on their plate that they're not going to have. I think you have to smart small in order to also make a difference. To not be so wasteful, I think is a good start."
"We have our own definition," Wilkinson told reporters following the Dancing with the Stars elimination on Tuesday, after Inaba said she seemed to be "afraid of elegance" during her performance the night before. "Elegance is what [my husband] Hank [Baskett] sees, not what Carrie Ann sees. That's what I care about."
The reality star admits that right after Inaba's comment, she felt "like giving up."
"Another woman telling me about elegance eats away at my ego," she said. "I'm a huge Carrie Ann fan, and she's [usually] so sweet, but that one comment – I felt belittled at that moment and embarrassed."
Wilkinson makes it clear that she does take her time on the show seriously, but not too seriously.
"This is great, and a time of my life I will look back on, but it's not my life," she said. "My life is my family memories. We just bought a new home. That right there means the world to me."
"Why am I listening to people that I don't care about?" Wilkinson continued. "I'm out here to have a good time – to be Kendra and dance and shake my butt – not to be a professional dancer."
"What curse?" Nemcova says, smiling and shrugging her shoulders. "I don’t think about that."
Now entering her fifth week of competition, the 5'11" Nemcova has officially lasted longer than any other of her leggy model predecessors who performed on past seasons of the show, including Paulina Porizkova, Rachel Hunter, Kathy Ireland and Josie Maran.
"You can look at it in different ways," says Nemcova, 31. "Perhaps Dmitry (Chaplin, her pro partner on DWTS) knows how to work with tall people."
For someone who walks and poses for a living, Nemcova says her progression on the dance floor "is a miracle."
"I am learning how to move my body to music and it's very hard work but it's very rewarding," she says. "I was worried in the beginning because I was unbalanced, un-centered, uncoordinated. I couldn't do two things at once. But now when I do it, it feels so amazing."
But what does Hilton think viewers will be most surprised to see on her new series? "How down to earth and sweet I am," she said.
Hilton is no stranger to reality TV. First, she spent five seasons with pal Nicole Richie exploring suburban American on The Simple Life and then two seasons on MTV looking for her new B.F.F. But this time the 30-year-old heiress is logging in hours behind the camera as the creator and executive producer of The World According to Paris. The series will follow Hilton's everyday life and her relationships with her mom, Kathy Hilton, and her close group of friends, including Charlie Sheen's soon-to-be-ex wife, Brooke Mueller.
Series executive producer Arthur Smith said he was surprised about how much Hilton wanted to show when she first approached about him about the project. "She always looked at it from, 'This is very hard for me to show, but I know that we have to,'" he said. "The producer always won, which made me very happy."
Kathy Hilton said the show was been "good therapy," despite, or because of, the challenges along the way. "[You think] 'I cannot believe I did this or said that,' but you just have to say forget it," she said. "Once it's on film, that's it."
Despite her many years in front of the camera, Hilton says she's grown up a lot since fans last saw her on the small screen. "I wasn't ready," she said. "I've been through so much and I feel like I have nothing to hide. What else could happen?"
The World According to Paris premieres June 1 at 10/9c on Oxygen.
“She’s definitely a city baby,” Lakshmi, 40, said Tuesday at an event to celebrate Frito-Lay all natural ingredients products in New York City.
“I was a city child too, whether it was in a big Indian city like Bombay or here in New York City, so she’s the same. She loves being in the city.”
She says Krishna is certainly healthy and is thriving as a New Yorker.
“She’s growing every day and always learning and seeing and discovering new things,” Lakshmi says. “So it’s wonderful to see the world through her eyes.”
And, she says, her daughter even has a favorite activity at the tender age of 14 months.
“She always likes going out and seeing new things,” the new mom says. “We walk around a lot and that’s a way for her to kind of explore.”
Lakshmi also revealed Krishna’s diet, which is admittedly not as spicy as Mom likes it.
“She eats what I eat. She’s on a lacto-vegetarian Indian diet,” Lakshmi says. “She’s still breastfeeding, that’s where the lacto part comes in. She can’t eat the spicy food that I love since it would be too hard on her system but other than that she’ll eat the foods that I make for her.”
And like a true New Yorker, Krishna’s schedule is already booked for the future. She’s all set to have playdates with Top Chef judge Tom Colicchio‘s newborn son, Mateo.
“They’re nesting right now, as I’m sure you can imagine,” Lakshmi says of the family. “But once they’re out of that stage, yes. Tom’s older son Luka and Krishna know each other really well.”
The latest?
She's helping promote the sale of a new grey sweatshirt benefiting Stand Up to Cancer by posing for a PSA in nothing but—what else?—the grey sweatshirt.
Proceeds help support SU2C's funding of accelerated cancer research.
"Heidi is standing up for family and friend who have battled cancer," the PSA reads. "Who will you stand up for?"
At the Condé Nast Traveler Hot List Party in LA Monday night, Decker revealed that she and the tennis star have been building the new place for two years: "It's not exotic, but it's my home," the supermodel declared. "It's eclectic and I love it." Decker joined Sofia Vergara, Vanessa Hudgens, Petra Nemcova and Emma Stone at the event.
"The scores suck," the reality star said of earning just 18 points – the night's lowest score – for her Viennese waltz with partner Louis van Amstel. "That's the way it goes. I didn't do a perfect job and I got the scores I got, and that's the way it goes."
After judge Bruno Tonioli's highly animated critique, head judge Len Goodman reminded him, "These people are beginners, Bruno. Don't be cruel."
Kendra admitted to having mixed feelings about the routine. "Going into it I didn't feel comfortable but when the music started I did feel comfortable," she said. "I felt in place. I felt like I did everything I could have done."
So what went wrong? "I had three missteps," she says. "It sucks because I didn't mean to do it. It just happened. But I moved on from it and I finished it."
Wilkinson and van Amstel – along with eight other remaining couples – will face another elimination on Tuesday's show (9 p.m. ET), which airs on ABC.
"I think Holly [Madison] has expressed publicly that it would be a little strange if she was there and I respect that," the Playboy founder told PEOPLE at his 85th birthday party at Las Vegas's Palms Casino Resort.
As portrayed on E!'s Girls Next Door, Madison hoped to marry Hefner but eventually moved on and relocated to Las Vegas. Hefner, meanwhile, moved on to 24-year-old Crystal Harris, whom he will wed on June 18. The feud between Madison and Harris has been well documented.
As for Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt, the two other women who costarred with Madison, they are invited, despite Wilkinson's recent claims that she has yet to receive a "Save The Date" card from the couple.
"She knows she's invited," Hefner said. "The invitations haven't gone out yet."
Hefner, himself, is a little surprised that he's taking another trip down the aisle.
"I never expected to get married again," said the previously twice-married Hefner. "But the reality is I can't see myself with anybody else, and I just want to give the relationship that kind of formal statement. I think Crystal deserves it. I love happy endings."
Paris and her BF Cy Waits were on their way in to Boa last night ... when PH told us, "[The Burglar Bunch] pawned everything that was real ... they only gave me back the costume stuff."
It's a BIG STATEMENT -- because just last week, Hilton was sued by an insurance company for not returning $60,000 in jewelry she borrowed from Damiani Jewellers back in 2007 ... jewelry that was jacked from Hilton's home by the Burglar Bunch.
The company thinks Hilton is LYING about not being in possession of the bling -- because they believe cops recovered the Damiani pieces and gave it back to Paris ... who then FAILED to give it back to Damiani.
The company also alleges Hilton agreed to keep the jewelry in a safe when she wasn't wearing it ... but instead of locking it up, Paris simply tucked it away in her closet.
The company is seeking $60,000 in damages.
"She absolutely has a chance at winning," Madison 32, recently told PEOPLE. "She's a natural athlete and she's really competitive and she has a fan following, so I think she'll do really well and certainly better than I did."
Still, Madison says that no matter how Wilkinson fares, she should just enjoy herself.
"It's so much fun," Madison, 32, says about participating on the hit ABC show. "As soon as I heard Kendra was going to be on this season, I texted her and said, 'Try your hardest, but don't even worry about being competitive or how long you stay on the show.' "
The Las Vegas Peepshow dancer, who sat with Wilkinson's brother and hubby Hank Baskett during a recent DWTS taping, so far is impressed with Wilkinson's footwork on the dance floor.
Madison, who encourages the show's competitors to "have a blast," says her main advice is to live in the moment.
"You never know when you're going to go. It could happen for any reason," says Madison. "So just enjoy it from week to week."
Heidi, a Karl Lagerfeld muse who became a face of Chanel, stood by Shawn when he was falsely accused of raping another model in London last year. Charges were dropped.
But the couple, who married in 2007, is going through a nasty divorce, and Heidi now lives at a different address. Events took a dramatic turn Tuesday when Heidi called the cops, claiming Shawn had a knife and threatened her, and officers rushed to his Park Avenue South apartment.
But Shawn, 30, told us, "She was trying to set me up. It was just me and my son in the apartment. She made a 911 call, and 10 officers showed up. The officers said Heidi told them there was a disturbance and I had a knife that I was waving around threatening people. She wasn't in the apartment. How could she feel threatened?
"She made the call in order to get an order of protection against me, so she could get custody of our son. I believe she did it because I asked her through mediation to take a drug test. I believe she is using cocaine."
He also claimed, "We have been having problems for a while. I have been asking for a divorce for two years."
Heidi, 25, who's appeared in campaigns for Alexander McQueen, Calvin Klein, DKNY and Givenchy, told us she called cops because "Shawn said something that made me feel threatened. But I didn't tell the police he had a knife. They asked me if there was anything in the apartment that could be used as a weapon, and I responded. 'He has a pocket knife, and there are kitchen knives on a magnet in the kitchen.'
"But his claims about me using drugs are completely wrong. I do not use drugs. I work extremely hard, and I am trying to do the right thing for my son. I hope we can reach a peaceful agreement. I never wanted my son to not have his father in his life."
Directed by Reinout Oerlemans, the film -- due out in November -- recounts explorer Willem Barentsz's doomed third attempt to find the Northeast Passage in 1596, said the Amsterdam-based on its website (www.parool.nl).
Robert de Hoog, 22, recently cast in Steven Spielberg's upcoming film rendition of the stage drama "War Horse," plays the cabin boy who kept a diary of the ill-starred Arctic voyage.
Victoria's Secret catwalk star Kroes, 26, whose career shifted into high gear in March 2007 when American Vogue named her as one of world's top 10 new models, gave birth to her first child in January.
Insurer Allianz Global sued Hilton Wednesday. Her spokeswoman says Hilton's representatives haven't yet reviewed the suit and have no immediate response.
The Munich-based insurer says jeweler Damiani lent Hilton the gems in 2007. The lawsuit says the Damiani jewels were taken, along with about $2 million worth of other baubles, in the December 2008 burglary.
Police returned a Louis Vuitton bag full of jewelry to Hilton after making arrests in 2009. The suit says Hilton then ignored Allianz' requests to return the Damiani gems.
Five people still face charges in the break-in.
Other stars, including Kyle Richards, NeNe Leakes, Patti Stanger, Jill Zarin, Lisa Vanderpump, Kara DioGuardi and Jamie Oliver, arrived at 8 a.m. in Brooklyn to film the promo on Monday. Lakshmi popped in as scheduled three hours later. But when the culinary queen, with her makeup perfectly applied and hair blown out, brought an entourage of six to a private room and brushed past the others without a greeting, the women started to gossip.
Our source overheard one star hiss, "It takes a village to raise a child," noting the entourage who formed a barricade around Padma's dressing area and played with her 14-month-old daughter, Krishna.
A witness said, "They took all of the women's bags that had been left in a dressing room and threw them into a hallway so Padma could sit separately with her baby in between shoots."
But "Top Chef" judge and Lakshmi pal Gail Simmons told us, "We didn't know a lot of the women [who were there]. It's not like we work together on a regular basis. I met a lot of people on the set for the first time. It's not like we're holding hands and singing 'Kumbaya.'
"I don't think I spoke to most people, either," Simmons said. "You are there to do a job. She [Padma] was with her child. I would think that anyone could understand that, and she's still nursing, which is also not a public thing to do. What's there to complain about? It's not high school. We're all professionals."
"Millionaire Matchmaker" star Stanger added, "We all thought her baby was beautiful." Another source noted that "Top Chef" is the highest-rated Bravo show and Lakshmi gets top-dog respect as an Emmy nominee.
A Bravo rep said there were no designated dressing rooms. And Padma's rep sniped, "I think this is a nonsensical item from a 'Housewife' who is jealous. It's going to make Padma look bad, and it's just not true . . . she didn't get any special treatment."
Construction on the supermodel and "America's Next Top Model" host's multimillion-dollar condo pad -- which will combine four merely mortal apartments into a duplex fit for a queen -- has run six months past schedule, according to neighbors. And a full year of "unbearable" drilling, banging and clanging has pushed some residents in the luxury tower to the brink of a model-style meltdown.
Page Six reported last May that noise from inside Banks' apartment, which set the diva back $10 million, grew so loud that neighbors called the cops. But the unholy racket has continued to emanate from the 22nd and 23rd floors for nine additional months, with ear-rattling drilling starting as early as 9 a.m., say residents, who were told that major construction on the lavish lair would be completed by October.
In addition, paint fumes have seeped from Banks' pad into others' abodes, say miffed residents, offending noses as well as ears.
"It's like being on the street where you hear them drilling concrete, but indoors," said one exasperated tenant who heard more drilling this week despite word that work was mercifully wrapping up.
A Riverhouse rep told us that construction is "near completion." And Banks was spotted sashaying into the building on Monday along with a bevy of boxes, according to an onlooker.
Numerous neighbors, meantime, have requested compensation of up to $100,000 for the inconvenience over the past year -- but without success, sources said.
Banks' lawyer and p.r. reps had no comment. But she must be itching to set up house. A source says that penalties pile up on her every day the job runs past schedule.
Fashion Star will feature 12 unknown designers, who will be put through a variety of business and design challenges each week. Notable fashion designers and buyers from big retailers will serve as judges and will also bid against each other to purchase the work from the contestants. When each episode concludes, viewers can purchase the winning designs showcased that night.
Super model Elle Macpherson will host.
"Who better to host then Elle Macpherson — her impeccable fashion sense and 30 years of experience building her eponymous brand are tremendous assets to the show and the designers," Paul Teledgy, NBC's executive vice president of alternative programming, said in a statement.
Fashion Star will be produced by Magical Elves (Top Chef, Project Runway), and Electus, the Ben Silverman-led company behind Biggest Loser.
Victoria's Secret model Candice Swanepoel has been turning heads recently—but not for her blond locks or voluptuous bod. This beauty's been looking alarmingly thin lately and hasn't been filling out those lacy underthings so well.
It was markedly apparent on Wednesday, when the once curvy South African hottie revealed her newly skeletal frame at an L.A. fashion shoot at the Mondrian Hotel wearing tiger print bottoms and a black bra. Just two months ago, a much healthier Swanepoel posed as the face of the lingerie house's Valentine's Day campaign. Her weight loss since has been dramatic.
And now, a fashion insider close to the Victoria's Secret models tells us that Swanepoel's future with the company is in jeopardy.
Like all Angels, Swanepoel, 22, is expected to be "healthy and muscular," according to her Victoria's Secret contract, says our source.
"There is a really clear criteria for both Angels and the catalogue. Their career path is Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue then to Angel, it's the highest paying contract there is, period. The image is about being voluptuous, it's not fat, but it's curvy," says the insider.
"But if you start to look skinny and 'editorial print-like' like fashion mag models, like undernourished, it gives the image the company does not want. Their shopper is older, their target is the Macy's shopper. These are young women who feel pressure these models, she [Swanepoel] could lose her contract if she gets too thin.
"But I'd be surprised if it went that far, she'll right herself first. Of course they'll talk to her though, the company is all about image."
One New York City-based state licensed dietician and nutritionist says Swanepoel's weight loss from 2009 to now is evident and that she could stand to put on more than a few pounds.
As for Swanepoel's excuse that her weight loss was caused by extensive traveling? Not likely but possible.
"I would say she has to go up to 125 pounds, she looks about 108 to 110 right now, and she's 5-foot-9 and a half," says diet expert Rochelle Sirota. "We know that TV and film puts on weight, the minimum looks like she would need to gain 15 pounds. If she were 5-foot-4 it would be less. Her body fat looks really low. Just a few months ago she looked sturdier. I would say if someone is extremely stressed it is possible to get that skinny, with time changes and rushing around—if you have a fast metabolism and that's what she's claiming."
Sirota says Swanepoel would have to eat 500 extra calories a day and maintain the exercise she's doing now to gain a pound a week back onto her frame. And maybe lay off that steak she claims to be chowing down on.
"If someone is on a very low-carb they can still take off weight. With just meat and fat and very little starch and carbs, they can eat calories and wind up losing weight," Sirota says. "Looking at the difference in her—wow—before and after. She doesn't need to go back to her old weight from 2009, but now she's too skinny. She could definitely stand to gain 10 pounds, still exercising to maintain the muscle mass. This could be promoting an eating disorder, this type of role model."
And that's not the image the company wants.
Victoria's Secret model Jessica White, who has walked the runway for the fashion house, tells E! News that her bosses have urged her to keep healthy and maintain a normal weight.
"I'm a Victoria's Secret model and they have never encouraged me to be anything but sexy and healthy, I have curves and they love that," White says. "Victoria's Secret is a represents all women, which means all shapes and sizes."
Another Victoria's Secret model, Alessandra Ambrosio, came under fire last year after she was shot looking too thin in a bikini in St. Barts. (We can vouch that in person, Ambrisio looks damn good—and yes, have even seen her eat!)
As for Swanepoel, it had been reported that during New York's Fashion Week, she was trying to put weight on. Calls to her rep at IMG and Victoria's Secret have not been returned.
A month after making her runway debut at the Balenciaga show during Paris Fashion Week, Miranda Kerr gave us another (better!) glimpse of her stunning post-baby body at the launch of Victoria’s Secret‘s 2011 swim collection in Los Angeles on March 30.
The always-stylish supermodel, who welcomed son Flynn in January, showed off her new mommy curves in a garnet-colored Hervé Léger by Max Azria zip front dress and black Yves Saint Laurent Tribute pumps.
Even though it’s only been 3 months, Kerr has more than bounced back to her slim and trim modeling size, which is all the more amazing because Flynn weighed in at almost 10 lbs at birth.
“I had a big baby. And I had him naturally,” she proudly revealed to Entertainment Tonight Canada at the event. “I’m really happy with him. It’s just so magical and every day it just gets better and better!”
So how is dad Orlando Bloom adjusting to the new baby? “He’s amazing! He’s really an incredible dad and he’s very hands on!”
Overnight, buzz cropped up about Swanepoel's seemingly shocking weight loss, given that she appeared thinner in L.A. than she had in photos taken only months earlier. HollywoodLife.com went so far as to call her "scarily, skeletally, stick-thin" and CBSNews.com called her "startlingly slim."
During New York Fashion Week in November, Swanepoel, 22, told ABCNews.com that she was having trouble keeping weight on. "Actually, this year my problem has been more putting the weight on and getting muscle on because it's been really busy," she said. "I've been traveling around like crazy. I get skinnier if I'm very busy."
Calls to reps for Victoria's Secret were not immediately returned.
Do you think Candice Swanepoel is too thin?
See, Hef's pal and former girlfriend Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett has yet to receive an invite to the summer ceremony.
And she's not too happy about it...
"I haven't gotten my save the date yet," Kendra exclusively tells us. "I'm not joking, I'm really pissed off about it."
"If I don't get a save the date, I have another wedding to attend that same day," she continues. "I got a save the date from one of my closest friends for that date. I'm planning on going to Hef's but I haven't gotten the save the date for that same date. I'm getting kind of antsy because I need to pick which wedding to go to."
So is she really that PO'ed at Hef?
"No! It's Crystal that does the wedding planning. She's the girl! If she doesn't give me a save the date soon I'm going to have to put in my save the date with the other wedding."
Now before we declare a Code Red, remember that back in January, the hot mama had nothing but kind words for the couple.
"You can just tell there's a whole other meaning of love in [Hef]," Kendra said. "I feel like she's the girl for him."
The Holly's World star and Peepshow Las Vegas dancer has her head buried in work: Her Vegas-themed book, The Showgirl Next Door, hits shelves April 15. On top of which, she's working as Extra's Sin City entertainment correspondent.
But that doesn't mean she's stopped searching for Mr. Right.
"I would love to meet my soul mate," Madison, 32, told PEOPLE Wednesday. "I'm always kind of keeping my eyes open for somebody."
Based on prior experiences, Madison believes finding the one will be challenging. "It's hard for me," the reality starlet says, referring to her rigorous work schedule. "The last couple relationships I had were long distance, [and] it's not like I can make much of an effort to travel and see anybody. The guy had to do all the work, unfortunately."
So, how can a guy meet Madison's standards?
"It definitely takes a guy who is secure and not overprotective and doesn't feel threatened by a successful woman," she explains. "He needs to be patient and somebody who knows where he wants the relationship to go."
For now, Madison is getting by just fine going solo.
"I'm happy single, but I'm happy in both cases," she says when asked if she prefers being single or taken. "I feel like I definitely thrive more as a human and I'm more successful when I'm single."
As for Madison's past dating life, it can be relived on E!'s True Hollywood Story: Holly Madison, which premieres March 30 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT, and features interviews with her ex, Hugh Hefner, and former Girls Next Door housemates Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt.
On April 3, the season finale of Holly's World airs on E! at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT.
Focusing on the happy place she's in now, White tells PEOPLE: "I'm living out every girl's dream." Currently, she is filming her own docu-series for Oxygen, launching a skincare line, starring in pal Kelly Rowland's new music video and working on her women's philanthropic organization, the Angel Foundation.
But life isn't perfect: In October, White was charged with assault and harassment after a physical altercation in New York City. Her trial begins in May.
"I never denied getting into an altercation," she says. "But people painted me to be the bad girl, which was 110 percent false."
Instead, White, 26, calls her involvement an act of self-defense. "I was flagging a cab, and she came from behind me and pushed me," White says.
While the Manhattan District Attorney's office declined to comment, alleged victim Vanessa Kian (who could not be reached for comment) claimed in the police report that the model struck her, "causing lacerations, swelling and substantial pain."
White, who says she has a video supporting her side of the story, adds: "I didn't strike her until she hit me in the face. I don't lash out at innocent people."
The rumors that the altercation was a result of her split from Sean Penn? More nonsense, according to White, who says, "I love Sean and wish him all the best."
A Painful Past
White, in fact, says that she hates violence, particularly because she was the victim of abuse herself. Revealing her story for the first time, White explains that as a child in Buffalo, New York, she not only watched helplessly as her loved ones coped with abusive relationships, but, at 14, she was molested by a family member.
"I had to go through the hurt secretly," she says, adding that when she first came out about the ordeal, she was told that she should keep it private. "I look at modeling as a savior, because [it allowed me] to leave and travel to Paris and New York when I could finally relax and be out of the abusive environment."
Still, after moving out of her mother's house at 17, the loneliness and pain caught up with White, who turned to cocaine as a way of dealing with her problems. About three years later, she overdosed.
"I was going to lose everything," she says of the time she saw her "whole life flash before me." "But I was lucky, because I came face to face with evil, and it wasn't something I liked seeing."
After taking off a few months to recuperate, White felt ready to repair the professional and personal relationships she'd damaged when she was using. Now, she says, she's off drugs and considers her mother to be her best friend.
"I truly am living out what true joy and happiness means," she says. "I'm in the best place possible."
The woman who perfected the art of being famous for being famous says she doesn't fear being overshadowed by Kim Kardashian or any other reality show rival.
Hilton said in an interview Tuesday with The Associated Press that there are many people who try to imitate what she does. But she said, in her words, "I am the original so there is nothing like me."
She added that she has "done everything that I wanted to do and I feel very blessed that I have been very successful on every area. So it's very exciting. There is nothing else to do".
Hilton was in Mexico to promote her new shoe line.
The Czech-born model gave birth to a baby boy, Philip, on Sunday, March 13 at London’s Portland Hospital, her rep at Storm Management confirms to PEOPLE.
Philip joins big brother George, 3½, Herzigová’s elder son with Gregorio Marsiaj.
One of the world’s most in-demand runway and photography models — best known for her Wonderbra ads — Herzigová, 38, is currently the face of Chopard after appearing in a campaign for Dolce & Gabbana fragrance alongside Claudia Schiffer and Naomi Campbell last year.
Just minutes before her quickstep with partner Louis van Amstel Monday night, Kendra Wilkinson says, "There was a moment where I just wanted to walk off the stage."
The reality star, who hopes the Dancing experience helps her overcome her stage fright, says she was rattled because she, like viewers at home, watched footage of her quickstep rehearsal. The video package showed the reality star in tears, emotional over the fact that she grew up a tomboy and now she's dressing like a lady and trying to perform highly elegant moves on the dance floor.
"I'm 25 – I'm at my quarter-life crisis," Wilkinson explains. "I'm growing up and I'm doing it while I'm on this show. And it's so funny – a lot of people don't want me to grow up. They go, 'What happened to you?' That's why a lot of times I'm so stressed out because when I do grow up, people push me down, and when I'm too much of a kid people are like, 'You have to grow up.' "
Though she had temporary second thoughts about stepping into the ballroom Monday, once her performance began, Wilkinson says, she felt secure.
"The audience pushed me through tonight," she says, noting that the fans in the audience who shouted, "I love you, Kendra," made all the difference.
"I'm so thankful for them," she says. "I'm happy people out there have faith in me. I know I can do this."
Dancing's live results show will air Tuesday (9 p.m. ET) on ABC – and the season's first eliminated couple will be announced.
"I need to think, this is the club and I need to go out there and show what I really got," the reality star – and DWTS contestant – told PEOPLE this weekend, while hosting a party at the MGM Grand's Wet Republic in Las Vegas.
The Kendra star, 25, who received a lukewarm reception during the first week of the ABC show, said nerves got the better of her and that that she simply needs to let loose and remind herself that she'll never be a professional ballroom dancer.
"I hate how everyone is taking this so serious. People just need to relax and look at it as entertainment, as funny, as fun," she said. "Don't look at it like we're supposed to be pros."
One of the best things about the show, she said, is that the intense practice sessions haven't affected her time with her 15-month-old son, Hank Jr., because he usually sleeps while she's practicing and wakes when she's home.
But, there is one thing she has to do on the show that she was not prepared for: getting "dolled up."
"I lived at the Playboy Mansion, and I was dolled up every now and then. This is like intense dolled up, blue eyeshadow and hair out to outer space," she said. "I didn't even recognize myself on TV. I was like, who is that? I looked like a mermaid."
Paris accompanied her boyfriend, Cy Waits, to his daughter's dance at Selma Bartlett Elementary in Henderson, NV. We're told Paris was super nice to all the kids and posed for pics with anyone who wanted.
Paris tweeted about the dance, "At this Elementary School dance, it's 50's themed. Love all the poodle skirts, so cute! I love spending time with kids, they are so sweet."
Across the room a group of Avery's teammates including Marian Gaborik, Steve Eminger, Matt Gilroy, Brandon Prust and Brian Boyle enjoyed DJ Holy Ghost! from DFA Records.
But Paris Hilton, in particular, had a bit of a family connection to the late screen icon. After all, it was her grand-uncle, Nicholas Conrad "Nicky" Hilton Jr., who was the very first of Taylor's many husbands.
"So sad to hear about Elizabeth Taylor. She was so beautiful, such an inspiration and an icon," Paris tweeted. "She was an amazing humanitarian and brought smiles to everyone around the world. She was always so sweet to me and I will really miss her. I've always loved this picture of her and Nicky Hilton. They were such a stunning couple."
Stunning indeed.
The socialite hit headlines this week when extracts from Neil Strauss' book Everyone Loves You When You're Dead: Journeys Into Fame and Madness emerged online.
The book contains excerpts from an alleged interview with Hilton back in 1999, with Strauss claiming she made controversial comments about her love life.
But a representative for Hilton is adamant the socialite never made the remarks featured in the book and she's now consulting her lawyers.
A statement from Hilton's spokesperson reads, "These allegations are absolutely untrue and ridiculous. We have sent these claims to Miss Hilton's lawyers to respond further. It's another example of someone making false claims for financial gain."
Massler, 28, was initially arrested last year. Prosecutors say he unleashed a slate of emails and tweets about his fixation with the NBC "Celebrity Apprentice" co-host, whose parents are Donald and Ivana Trump.
"I should stop bothering her, but I like her," Massler sighed to a detective on a plane ride bringing him to New York after his arrest last year, according to a court document released Tuesday.
In tweets directed at Ivanka Trump, Massler said his "dream in life" was to marry her, according to the court complaint. At times, his remarks turned more bizarre and ominous, the document said: He threatened to commit suicide in her Manhattan jewelry store and said he wanted to "talk some sense into" her husband, Jared Kushner, and "commandeer" the newspaper that Kushner publishes, The New York Observer.
Massler also has said he'd die before being caught and "would go down in a hail of gunfire," assistant district attorney Lucrece Francois told a judge Tuesday.
Massler's lawyer, George Vomvolakis, has said the messages didn't amount to crimes. Massler, who has spent time in a mental hospital, never came close to Trump and didn't intend to follow through on his comments, the lawyer said.
"He's got a very eccentric sense of humor," Vomvolakis said last year. He didn't immediately return a call Tuesday evening.
Massler was released last year on $10,000 bond and ordered not to contact Trump and some of her relatives. An indictment says Massler nonetheless kept trying to communicate with Trump, Kushner and others close to her in recent months.
Massler skipped some of his court dates and was arrested recently in Los Angeles.
The charges against him now include felony criminal contempt counts that carry the possibility of up to four years in prison if he's convicted.
"In the cha cha you're not supposed to bend your knees but I had to or I would have passed out," Wilkinson said. "I was so nervous, I barely took a breath."
What worried her? In short, everything about performing.
"I have a fear of the stage, a fear of the audience," Wilkinson said. "[The bright lights of the ballroom] made me dizzy. But I pulled it out and the fact that Carrie Ann [Inaba] said I didn't miss one step made me feel so good."
Wilkinson wasn't the only person to get a case of pre-show nerves.
"When I got here at the beginning of the day I wasn't nervous at all," says two-time Dancing champ Cheryl Burke, now in her 11th season on the show. "But two minutes before the show I thought, 'I'm going to throw up.' "
"That's a sign of a professional – you get nervous before you perform," said Burke's partner, WWE star Chris Jericho. "I'm just happy we got that first one under our belts."
The first dance, Romeo said, "felt great. It's like taking that first shot in your first basketball game. You knock it out and then you know what you need to do to get your team to the next level."
Dancing's next performance show airs March 28 (8 p.m. ET) on ABC.
Petra says, "As a model, you put your shoulder back and you go with your legs forward, and with dancing you have to go shoulders forward…I'm always arched so I have to really really think about putting my tailbone under and being straight." Dmitry, who is giving Petra a three-week crash course in all things dance said he saw a lot of problems with Petra's posture as soon as they met: "[I said] I'm just going to teach you how to walk…Just give me the hand: This is how we walk…She's back-weighted when she walks…the heel goes first and then the toe, and the hips are very loose, and that's how they walk on the [catwalk] but ballroom dancing is everything is forward, so [she's] kind of back to front."
In addition to posture and simple walking, Dmitry is also honing in on the little details that make a dancer great, telling us: "She never had dance experience before, so we had to start with things like 'how do you hold your pinkie?' "
The twosome also shared some of their strategy for optimizing their dances for the best scores from the judges. Dmitry says, "[A] definite strength is her height. Well, it plays both ways, it can be advantage or disadvantage…[Girls can] be afraid to be stretching and be taller…but like for example for ballroom dancing, when you're in closed hold especially, we can generate a lot of power from moving, and we can cover the floor in two steps, that's amazing. [It's] good for [impressing judge] Len [Goodman] actually, because he's English, and he likes the technical aspects so if we do a nice simple walk, a nicely flowing walk, he'll be like 'great score.' "
We also asked about what their costume plans are for the first two dances, and Petra told us, "For the first dance because it's a foxtrot, I think it will be something more elegant but connected to the modern days…well, for the second dance, there will be a little bit more of a reveal, since it's one of the Latin dances…Second dance, there will be more skin, let's say that."
So how does Stars veteran Dmitry rate Petra's chances? Says the So You Think You Can Dance season-two contestant, "I always say that shows like Dancing With the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance are not dance contests. Dancing is the language we speak, we communicate with dancing, but it's about showing the people who you are and if they appreciate it, they going to support you and support you all the way…And of course dancing part has to be there—you can't just rely on people's vote, but I think when people are going to get to know Petra they're going to fall in love with her. She's so sweet, so humble."
We agree! Check out the clips above and see for yourself.
The America's Next Top Model host, who formed her own production company Bankable Productions years ago, has revealed she has gone back to school in order to sharpen her skills and better prepare herself as a leader of the brand.
She tells late night TV host Jimmy Fallon, "I feel I have to in order to grow my business. People like Sir Richard Branson and Walt Disney, these people have created these brands and businesses from scratch. So I look to them as role models. I want to grow my company."
And the former Victoria's Secret model insists she hasn't received any preferential treatment due to her superstar status: "We do live in dorms. I have my own room. So I have my own bedroom but we share a kitchen, a living room, a study area. It's mandatory dorms. I freaked out in the beginning.
"I was like, 'Oh yes, I'm going to Harvard and I'll be at the Four Seasons down the street.' And they were like, 'Girl, you're going to be living in dorms.' I was like, 'What?' I freaked, freaked, freaked out. And now I wouldn't have it any other way. It's like summer camp!
"Every time a term ends I get withdrawals and I get attitude for like three months because I miss my friends, I miss my professors, it's like a bubble."
But why did Banks, who runs a successful multi-million-dollar empire, feel the need to further her education?
"In order for my company to grow and be the best, and to reach these women, and to serve them, I needed the best. So I went to the best," Banks, 37, told CBS News recently.
Going back to school has been a long time coming for Banks, who started modeling at age 17, just months before she was supposed to start at L.A.'s Loyola Marymount University.
"The day that I put college on hold because I got discovered to go to Paris and try this whole modeling thing ... was one of the most difficult decisions of my entire life," she said.
But Banks turned that opportunity into dreamlike success: In 2009, Forbes listed her as the highest paid woman in prime time, with an annual income of $30 million.
Now, Banks can clearly afford the steep tuition at Harvard's elite Owner/President Management Program, which requires students participate in intensive three-week sessions costing $31,000 a year for three years.
The America's Next Top Model host admits that people are often shocked to hear she's attending such a prestigious university – but Banks likes it that way.
"When people have low expectations, you're just constantly going, 'Ta-da!' And they're like, 'Wow,' " she said. "It doesn't take a lot to wow them when they have low expectations."
On Friday, after a devastating earthquake and ensuing tsunami devastated Japan, Nemvoca, who survived the 2004 disaster in Thailand, says it's difficult for her to watch the news coverage.
"It's very hard to look ... at those videos," the model and Dancing with the Stars contestant tells Access Hollywood. "Seeing people trying to escape from their cars and knowing this can be prevented. I think it's such a crime not to have disaster preparedness in curriculums."
One of the keys to survival, she says, is simply to stay calm.
"That's very hard to do," she says, "but if you are not calm and focused you miss the opportunity to either help someone or help yourself to survive."
Recalling her own experience in the Thailand tsunami, Nemcova says, "It's a time of suffering but also amazing, unconditional love. You see people helping strangers and putting their lives at stake for someone they never met."
And when disaster strikes, she says, all differences are put aside.
"There's the famous saying 'six degrees of separation,' but if a natural disaster happens, there's no degree of separation," Nemcova says. "We are all connected."
Moss, who's only done a handful of shows in the past decade, wielded a cigarette and not much else. The catwalk theme was Hotel Louis Vuitton with most of the models in French maid or bellhop uniforms. Campbell strutted sans projectile accessory, if you don't count her satchel or porter's cap.
And they weren't the only models designer Marc Jacobs cajoled out of semi-retirement. Amber Valletta, Carmen Kass, Carolyn Murphy and Stella Tennant also checked in to the catwalk, each arriving via an old-fashioned elevator.
Paging Cindy Crawford, you're needed in the lobby!
And the season 8 contestant has a bold prediction about how her former Girls Next Door costar will do on the upcoming season of the hit dance show.
"Kendra will do better than most," Madison told PEOPLE recently. "I'd say she'll get to at least the semi-finals. She has a lot of personality and people like her."
Madison has offered her pal a bit of advice, telling Wilkinson to befriend the sound man on the show and take his extra Moleskin ear cushions commonly used for headphones.
"You put them on your feet before you put your shoes on and it helps to keep blisters away," the star of E!'s Holly's World said. "Your feet hurt so bad from all the practicing."
And Wilkinson, it seems, is already feeling the pain. She Tweeted: "Anti inflamintory n water is my new oreo n milk now cuz of dancing."
Though she's going up against professional wrestler Chris Jericho, NFL champion Hines Ward, boxing legen Sugar Ray Leonard and Karate Kid Ralph Macchio in the competition, Madison said Wilkinson is a "natural athlete."
"She's really fearless," Madison said. "She'll do a really good job and enjoy the whole thing no matter if she wins or how long she lasts."
Benjamin Rein, their 14-month-old son, “will have wait a couple years until he gets to experience the amazing fun of Carnival,” Bündchen, 30, tells PEOPLE in an email from Brazil, where she participated in the local Vila Isabel samba school’s parade display over the weekend.
And while she won’t be teaching her son to samba just yet, she does credit him with helping to keep her in shape.
The supermodel, who is famous for her bikini body, credits yoga, surfing and “taking Benjamin on long walks,” with her post-baby physique.
The group's elaborate entry celebrated myths and tales about hair — so it was hardly surprising its gyrating performance was sponsored by Procter & Gamble Co., whose Pantene shampoo line has Bundchen as its representative.
Dedicated fans of the Vila Isabel club waited until the early hours of Monday morning to take in the spectacle, which included snake-haired Medusas, flaxen-haired Rapunzel's, Samsons and Dalilahs, and the Indian god Shiva, whose tresses gave origin to the universe.
The cost of Vila Isabel's flashy entry was estimated at $6 million. The amount picked up by Procter & Gamble was not specified, but the sponsorship surely was a bonanza for Vila Isabel, which went without such support the past two years.
Last year, club president Wilson Vieira Alves, known as Moises, was sent to prison for his involvement with illegal slot-machine gambling. Three other Vila Isabel leaders also were arrested along with seven police officers.
Moises' son, a law student, subsequently took over leadership of the club and promised to run it like a business.
Such complications are not unusual. A number of samba club leaders and financial backers — even a president of the league that sets the rules for the two-day Carnival parade — have been linked to illegal gambling, numbers-running or the drug trade.
That hasn't kept sponsors away. Procter & Gamble spokeswoman Juliana Azevedo could not be reached for comment during the Carnival holiday, but she previously told the Brazilian newspaper Estado de Sao Paulo that the company's sponsorship of Vila Isabel was just a small part of its role in Carnival.
"The incident with the president of the group is very dissociated from this," she said.
Maria de Oliveira Pinto, 54, came from the neighborhood of Andarai, one of the communities that serves as Vila Isabel's home base. In the bleachers above the parade, she and a boisterous group of friends danced and sang along with other groups.
"No one really thinks about this, these connections," Pinto said. "Vila Isabel has a strong base: It's made up of a community, not one man. I am here because I am Vila Isabel, with or without a president."
The surprise announcement came from Sydney on Sunday. While taping a new episode of Chelsea Lately, Chelsea Handler asked the Aussie model about her recent engagement to "that old guy," French businessman Jimmy Esebag, 50. Monk, 31, shook her head, saying, ''I'm newly single.'' She even hinted that she might even ''turn Samantha Ronson."
The news quickly spread from audience members via Twitter.
Getting ever more involved in the Charlie Sheen drama is Paris Hilton, who on Saturday sent him a Tweet with a winking emoticon saying, "Hey Neighbor, I think I might have Tigerblood and I'm definitely winning! Huge!"
Hilton, 30, who has had her own high-profile troubles with drugs and the law, also features Sheen's estranged wife, Brooke Mueller, on her new Oxygen Network reality show, The World According to Paris.
Although the segments were filmed before Mueller and Sheen started tangling over custody of their twins, the pair's at-times volatile relationship is addressed on the series, which debuts in the spring, Hilton says.
"Let's just say there's a lot of drama in the show," Hilton recently said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
What's more, another costar on the show is Hilton's mother, Kathy Hilton, who also happens to be godmother to Mueller and Sheen's nearly 2-year-old boys.
Hilton, who does in fact live in the same area as Sheen, made clear she's following Sheen's escapades closely, ending her Tweet with a shout-out for his Saturday webcast: "Can't wait to see Sheen's corner!"
Theodora Richards was arrested on charges of unlawful possession of marijuana, making graffiti and possession of a graffiti instrument. She was awaiting arraignment in Manhattan criminal court. Officers on patrol said they noticed the 25-year-old model painting the letters "T-N-A" on the side of a building in the swank SoHo section of Manhattan on Tuesday around 10:45 p.m.
When they arrested her, they found a small amount of marijuana and a paint marker, police said.
It wasn't clear if Richards had an attorney. A message left at her home wasn't returned. A message left with her dad's attorney wasn't returned.
She has modeled for Burberry and Tommy Hilfiger and lives in SoHo. Richards and her sister, Alexandra, are daughters of Keith Richards and his longtime wife Patti Hansen. The leathered, craggy guitarist has two other children. One of the best-known rockers alive, Keith Richards has a best-selling memoir "Life" about his hard-living days with the Rolling Stones and frontman Mick Jagger.
The Rolling Stones have a song called "Little T&A," on their album Tattoo You, though it's not clear what exactly the younger Richards was painting, police said.
Freshly fired Christian Dior head designer John Galliano is learning that his overt displays of alcohol-fueled racism may be indefensible to the majority of the world, but a few of his sartorial besties are sticking by the fashionisto. Celeb pals Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell, who know from unsavory behavior, are said to be urging their designing pal to enter into a rehab program.
Because it's the drinking that's the problem, right? Not the underlying racism? Still, when Moss and Campbell say you've got issues, you'd be wise to listen. And Galliano, reportedly, is doing just that.
But not before he mans up and offers an apology, which he did, finally, this morning. In a statement issued through his lawyer, the 50-year-old said today that he "unreservedly" apologized for his behavior, and acknowledged "that the accusations made against me have greatly shocked and upset people."
As for Moss and Campbell, according to the New York Times, the two supermodels were among the group of close friends and colleagues who approached Hitler's most stylish fan this week and convinced him to leave France (where he remains the subject of two criminal investigations for his café outbursts), and head to a rehabilitation center.
The exact location hasn't been identified, though sources told the Old Grey Lady that his most likely destination is The Meadows, an Arizona facility that's no stranger to star power, having treated Elton John and Donatella Versace in the past.
But its most famous rehabber may be Moss herself, who, like Galliano now, fled to $4,000-a-night Meadows Clinic back in 2005, in the wake of her cocaine scandal.
Incidentally, Moss is apparently proving to be quite an influential example for Galliano, as he has also reportedly retained the services of London power lawyer Gerrard Tyrrell, ostensibly to fight his dismissal from Dior. Tyrrell, for those keeping track, is the same legal eagle Moss hired back in 2005 when her contracts began dropping faster than the racial slurs that came from Galliano's mouth.
In any case, it sounds like Galliano is already laying the groundwork for a comeback. To which both we and, we suspect, Natalie Portman say: yeah. Good luck with that.
So last night, she dished to me about how Charlie and Brooke had been happily cohabiting before his epic meltdown and CBS show shutdown:
"I talked to her yesterday and everything was fine and they were best friends and living together...and now I don't know!" Paris told me at the Hollywood Domino gala last night. "I heard something changed so I'm not sure what happened."
That "something" must have led to Brooke no longer vacationing with Charlie and his harem ladyfriends in the Bahamas.
"Where there were four, there are now three," Sheen said during a live call to the Alex Jones Show. "Goodbye, Brooke. Good luck in your travels. You're going to need it badly."
But just because Paris and Brooke are on the same show doesn't mean she's anti-Sheen.
"He's my neighbor so I don't have anything bad to say about him," she explained, diplomatically adding: "I think some people are better as friends."
Paris, wearing a sexy red Marc Bouwer dress, was accompanied by her sister Nicky last night but confessed she did indeed get a diamond ring from boyfriend Cy Waits on her birthday.
But it just wasn't an engagement ring.
"We were looking at jewelry and I got a beautiful diamond ring as a gift," she told me of their NYC jewelry store trip.
That doesn't mean she hasn't dropped hints about what kind of ringfinger bling she'd like. "I haven't said exactly what I like, but he knows that I love big diamonds," she told me.
I asked if she would say yes if Cy got down on one knee today.
"We're so happy so I really can't see myself with anyone else. So I think we're gonna live happily ever after," she told me.
Inside the fete at Sunset Tower, Mila Kunis was flying solo, smoking on the patio and chatting up Hayden Panettiere. Just down the street, Soho House was another hot spot, where lots of Hollywood's hottest men were in attendance.
Leonardo DiCaprio held a table on the patio with Kevin Connolly while new dad (and possible Oscar winner this weekend) Javier Bardem celebrated Biutiful downstairs. John Stamos rolled solo and Oscar host James Franco declined photos at the Grey Goose sponsored soiree.
Hope he's ready for his close up on Sunday!
The two are set to tie the knot on June 18, a Playboy rep tells PEOPLE, and they will be married at the Playboy Mansion.
With the wedding planning underway, Harris has begun picking out her dress, hunting for the perfect cake and ... posing for a pre-wedding Playboy spread, set to run in June, just before her nuptials.
"It's kind of just a romantic, roaming-around-the-mansion type thing," Harris told The New Yorker, which followed her as she tried on two Romona Keveza gowns in Los Angeles. Of her options, Harris seemed partial to a strapless pink dress with silk-organza rosettes, preferring it over a full, strapless ivory dress.
Hefner, 84, popped the question over Christmas – and he announced the news on Twitter. First, he simply said that he had bought Crystal a ring before later clarifying it was of the engagement variety.
"He did it on purpose," Harris told The New Yorker. Once the world heard of her engagement, she says, "all of a sudden it was everywhere. I had, like, fans in Sweden, Slovakia, Russia – everywhere."

“It’s equal parts absolutely adorable and absolutely horrible!” the model-turned-actress, 38, tells PEOPLE of Dolly and Charlie, who celebrated their second birthdays in December.
“I’m just trying to get them to bed at night, but they’re two! That’s what being two is all about.”
It’s hard to imagine such sweet sisters causing a fuss, but as far as Romijn is concerned, this is a matter of nurture getting steamrolled by the nature of the terrible twos.
“Right now, I think the whole job of being a 2-year-old is just trying to get as sick as often as possible to build up your immune system,” she joked while attending the Global Action Forum Gala in Beverly Hills. “It’s been three months of fevers, colds and vomiting.”
While some would consider such activities as de rigueur during award season, Romijn is quick to echo the sentiments of parents around the globe.
“There have been so many sleepless nights for my husband [Jerry O'Connell] and I,” she says. “If I can just get them to stay in their beds and shut up at night, I’d be happy.”
Law enforcement sources tell us ... off-duty officers will be working security at the party and uniformed officers will be patrolling the area all night ... in case the shindig gets out of hand.
We're told Paris has pulled permits to film the party -- which is all set to go down at a private home in the Hollywood Hills.
Law enforcement sources tell us ... officers will be on the lookout to tow vehicles parked illegally in the area. Plus, we're told all noise complaints WILL be addressed by police.
Just another Tuesday night in Hollywood ...
The Russian-born, 25-year-old learned Monday at a taping of David Letterman's show that she won the coveted spot based on a photo shoot months ago in Hawaii. She's been in the wildly popular issue five times before.
"There were 10 models there to do the Top 10 List, and nobody knows until the last minute who the cover will be," Shayk said. "And then I saw it, and I couldn't believe it."
In keeping with tradition, the cover of the special issue is kept secret until the magazine is ready to hit newsstands.
Shayk, the girlfriend of soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, said if she were going to choose one of her photos as her favorite, the cover selection likely would be the one. She liked the push-up bra style of the suit, in a design of pink diamonds on the front of the top with yellow around the neck and sides.
"I never get to see the photos when we take them, but I remembered the swimsuit," Shayk said.
Her other photo shoot for this year's issue was in the Philippines'.
She has a wardrobe of hundreds of bathing suits thanks to her Sports Illustrated work. "When I'm going to vacation on my own — I get the swimsuits after the shoots — I have so many choices!"
Her regimen to get ready for the skimpy work doesn't really change from her normal beauty routine.
"I do work out five times a week, but I'm never dieting," Shayk said. "I try to be healthy because to be happy and healthy on the inside shows on the outside."
"Anna Nicole" is one of the prestigious opera company's riskiest projects yet, both because it leaves Covent Garden open to accusations of sensationalism in a bid to stay relevant and because some of the characters in the story are still alive.
According to the British media, lawyers are nervous, particularly in relation to tabloid star Smith's ex-boyfriend Howard K. Stern whose conviction for supplying her with drugs before her death in 2007 was dismissed last month.
The Royal Opera House has not denied the reports but declined to comment in detail on the work's contents or whether alterations had been made at the last minute for legal reasons.
The press office did confirm that the run of six shows, starting on February 17 and ending on March 4, had sold out.
The company's website called the new work "a celebrity story of our times that includes extreme language, drug abuse and sexual content," and imposed a minimum age of 16.
"This new opera is provocative in its themes, exciting in its bravura style and thrilling with its sheer contemporary nerve," it added in language normally reserved for reality TV.
"Anna Nicole Smith's life made the news -- you can bet this world premiere will too."
DUTCH SINGER IN LEAD ROLE
Smith died aged 39 of an accidental prescription drug overdose in Florida. At the time of her death, the former pin-up model and reality television star was embroiled in a long-running legal battle over the will of her late husband, billionaire oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall.
They had married when she was 26 years old and he was 89.
Dutch soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek will perform the role of the voluptuous blonde in composer Mark-Anthony Turnage's latest work, under the direction of Richard Jones.
The libretto is by Richard Thomas, no stranger to controversy after his musical "Jerry Springer: The Opera" offended many Christians and sparked a record number of complaints when it was aired on BBC television in 2005.
In a recent piece written for the Times newspaper, Thomas admitted to feeling nervous and spoke of the risks involved in putting on a new opera.
"Unlike musicals, operas don't have the luxury of a preview period," he wrote. "There is one dress rehearsal and then BANG -- opening night."
He also defended the choice of Smith as a subject for a major new production at one of the world's top opera houses, pointing out that many mainstay opera heroines led far-from-exemplary lives.
"No one goes to the opera to judge Salome or Carmen."
Westbroek played one such colorful role at Covent Garden as recently as 2006 when she starred in "Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk," about a bored housewife who resorts to murder and adultery in order to escape her lot.
The main difference with Smith is that she is not fictional, died only four years ago and a court battle involving claims to part of the fortune left behind by her late husband have rumbled on in U.S. courts.
Justin Massler was jailed in Los Angeles on Friday after a warrant was issued for his arrest when he failed to attend a New York court hearing on six charges, including stalking in the third degree.
He is accused of bombarding Trump and her husband Jared Kushner with emails earlier this month, violating an order to stay away from the family until 2012.
But in an interview with the New York Daily News, Massler is adamant his behaviour was loaded with irony and was merely "performance art".
He tells the publication, "I would never hurt anyone. I was just bored, writing random stuff on the Internet. I'm not interested in ever seeing her again... I said they'll never capture me alive and mentioned a hero destiny squad, but it wasn't threatening, just me being bored.
"I would have left them alone, but I was p**sed about the warrant... I was hitting on her ironically. It was a joke. She's a spoiled rich kid. I told Jared it was performance art, but they took that out of the court documents."
Irina Shayk has been revealed via bigass billboard to be the 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl, fronting the annual February offering to the bikini-bod gods in a Day-Glo, barely there fuchsia suit while kneeling in the sand on some beach.
As if anyone's going to be noticing the beach.
Anyway, now that Shayk has reached the pinnacle of swimsuit-modeldom, it's only right we share some need-to-know information about her...
1. She Has Patiently Waited Her Turn: So many girls, so few covers. This is Shayk's fifth appearance in the Swimsuit Issue, so the 25-year-old Russian beauty is no newcomer to frolicking in the sand in the winter. Born in the town of Emangelynsk, located in greater Chelyabinsk, she was discovered in 2004 while on a train to Moscow, where she was apparently trying to flee from all those consonants after winning a modeling contest. (Incidentally, her real last name is Shaykhlislamova.) Three years later, she was debuting in SI, named the face of Italian lingerie brand Intimissimi and signing with Lacoste and La Perla. She has also modeled for Armani Exchange and Guess? and starred in Kanye West's "Power" video last summer. She was named International Model of the Year in 2010 by Spanish Glamour. "Sometime I thank God my parents make me beautiful," Shayk told the New York Post last year. "But it's just a body, and I believe in second life. What's my life gonna be like next time if I'm not gonna have my face then?...In my next life I want to come back as my dog. He has the best life! Right now he is on vacation in Miami."
2. Her Heart Is Pretty, Too: Shayk hasn't forgotten where she came from. She is an ambassador for Pomogi, a Russian charity that provides for sick children, and she and her sister helped raise funds to rebuild the children's ward in her hometown's main hospital.
3. Her Boyfriend's No Slouch: Shayk has reportedly been dating Portuguese soccer hottie Cristiano Ronaldo after meeting through their respective Armani ties, Ronaldo's being a sizzling, Beckhamesque underwear campaign. He also happens to be the highest-paid footballer in the world and the whole, er, package he's got going on probably didn't hurt when Shayk had to deal with conflicting reports about him fathering a son last June with another woman—a Portuguese paper said he hired a surrogate to have the child, while U.K. tabloids said the child was a result of a fling. But, Ronaldo and Shayk were photographed looking happy (smiling, at least!) while vacationing in the Maldives just last month, so maybe the next bun will be in Shayk's oven.
4. She Did Not Get Naked for Spanish GQ: The girl's got boundaries. Shayk threatened legal action after GQ Spain allegedly airbrushed the Intimissimi body suit she was photographed in to make her look naked in its December 2010 issue. "Supermodel Irina Shayk is the victim of 'photoshop' and breach of contract over photo approval in GQ Spain," the managing director of her modeling agency said in a stated at the time. "The Intimissimi ambassador dawns the cover in an Intimissimi lingerie body suit but unfortunately was photoshopped to appear naked in three images of the 14-page spread. A contract was signed on behalf of Ms. Shayk by Elite Model Management where she was to have approval of the interview, cover and images and was refused that right by the publication. Ms. Shayk was not nude and did not approve these images. Irina Shayk NEVER saw the images, cover or caption that was used in GQ Spain."
5. Get Ready: She's popped out of mailboxes in Germany, France, South Africa, Russia, Greece and Spain multiple times, but Shayk's only U.S. cover to date, besides Sports Illustrated that is, has been the July/August 2010 issue of upper-crust life-style magazine Ocean Drive. We figure she's due for a Vogue model-cluster cover soon. Oh, and she'll be a guest on The Late Show With David Letterman on Tuesday night.
"He's a really down to earth guy," the Holly's World star told PEOPLE in Las Vegas at the opening of Recycled Percussion, fresh off a trip to Mexico with Jack Barakat, her boyfriend of nine months, who is the guitarist for the Baltimore-based band.
The duo plan on celebrating Valentine's weekend together at Tryst nightclub in Sin City. The low-key couple has come a long way since first meeting on Twitter and publicly debuting their romance at her 31st birthday in December.
"I feel like he's really real and he knows me for who I am," said Madison, who stars in the Las Vegas show PEEPSHOW. "I can say whatever in front of him and he's cool with it."
Her friends have already given her their seal of approval, as well, Madison said. "I love that Jack has a sense of humor and I can just be myself around him," she added. "I don't need to be like Miss Priss or Betty Crocker. I feel like every guy that I dated before him expected that."
The tsunami-surviving beauty, who is newly engaged to British actor Jamie Belman, exclusively tells E! News she knew "within days that he was the one."
"We both knew right away, both of us," Nemcova told us today at the Luca Luca show at Lincoln Center in New York.
And she also spilled some good wedding details, including the designer behind her one-of-a-kind gown...
First, Nemcova and her love will spend Valentine's Day in New York together, then head back to England to scout out locations for the big day.
"I'm with him every single day," she said. The couple have been together for nine months now.
As for the wedding, they are planning to invite 130 guests.
"It will be both a mix of formal and fun and craziness," she said. "I want everyone to feel comfortable and appreciated."
Nemcova's already chosen her dress, a Marchesa designed just for her, and the couple will exchange vows somewhere in the U.K.
"We are looking at locations now, trying to see what's best," said the Czech-born babe, who was previously linked to Sean Penn before meeting Belman.
As for her beau, she said she knew she wanted to marry him immediately—and even placed meeting him as her luckiest moment, even above surviving the 2004 asian tsunami, which claimed the life of then-boyfriend British photographer Simon Atlee.
"First was meeting my fiancé," she said. "Then surviving the tsunami. He's a real man, there are no layers of phony. he is who he is he's incredibly loving and he's just really what I look for. I knew right away about him, really really fast."
Nemcova, best known for her Sports Illustrated swimsuit posing, was happy to be siting front row at the show today, saying she appreciated not having to walk the runway and deal with the stress that comes with it.
"It's nice to be sitting and watching the incredible creations without being on the catwalk and having the hard work," she said.
When we asked if she was ready to have some babies right away, the model said sometime in the future.
"Not yet, I am enjoying this, the moment for now," she said.
"The girls can get catty over it because everybody wants it. The cover makes you a household name. Any model who wants to make herself a brand knows this is what you need to do," said one fashion insider.
Sources said Russian beauty Shayk, girlfriend of soccer stud Cristiano Ronaldo, and Victoria's Secret model Vyalitsyna -- who models under the name "Anne V" and is dating Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine -- are favorites for this year's cover. Shayk was on the cover of the S.I. swimsuit DVD last year, and Anne V has been featured in the issue for seven years running.
But Renn, who documented her battle with anorexia in the 2009 memoir Hungry, says in a new interview on the Ford Models blog that these days, the public is far more interested in her weight than she is – and she's not willing to change her figure just to live up to other people's expectations.
"I think that by placing a title on my head, which is 'plus-size,' and then the picture that these people have created in their mind about what plus-size actually is, I've basically failed [your expectations] just with that," she said.
Renn, who once walked the runway for Jean Paul Gaultier at a size 12, told PEOPLE that these days she's more like a size 8, and would prefer a world where models could work at any size – without being designated "regular" or "plus-size."
But one thing she's not willing to do is gain weight to live up to traditional "plus-size" standards (typically size 14 and above). "I would have to have another eating disorder to live up to that expectation," she says on the Ford Models blog. "I had anorexia because someone else set the standard for me and I wanted to follow it."
Now, "if I followed what the public wanted from me," she says, "I'd be doing the same thing. I'd have a binge eating disorder."
"It's about individual health," she added. "You cannot tell if someone is healthy from the outside, because health is different for everybody at different sizes."
And well, we weren't alone.
Hefner's ex, Holly Madison, was just as shocked at the news. "I have a lot of different feelings on it. I don't just feel one way," she told E! back when the news broke. Although the starlet has offered her kind words to the couple, she decided it's best for her to stay away from the ceremony.
Not that the Peep Show star has received her invitation just yet. However, judging from Sunday's episode of Holly's World, her visit to the mansion to congratulate the newly-engaged couple seemed friendly enough that an expensive cardstock invite with fancy script isn't totally out of the question.
But just as the E! reality star played it cool on the show, she continues playing it cool when it comes to discussing the matter at all.
Holly tells HDNet's Naughty But Nice that while Hugh and Crystal are planning a summer wedding, she's planning on being busy around that time. And her decision not to attend is not based on jealousy (as we might've assumed).
"I feel like the attention should be on them," Holly says. "It shouldn't be about ex-girlfriends showing up and what are their reactions and stuff like that. I think it should be about them."
Well said! So what reason would she give the happy couple for not attending?
"It's probably because I have a show in Vegas."
Works for us!
Moss, who has previously dated actor Johnny Depp and was engaged to rocker Pete Doherty, started romancing The Kills star in 2007.
Rumours of an engagement have dogged the couple in the past few months, with tabloids reporting Hince had proposed on holiday in the Caribbean last month. One British newspaper even claimed the couple had wed in secret last summer.
But now Moss is planning to make her union with Hince official - the couple is planning a July 2 wedding, according to The Sun.
The pair was spotted shopping at Mayfair jewellers S.J. Phillips Ltd. on Wednesday, and they reportedly celebrated their engagement at posh restaurant Ceccone.
Moss has also been photographed wearing a vintage band on her ring finger.
A source tells The Sun, "Kate is delighted... He has been badgering her to get married but she wanted to take her time.
"Over the last year they have grown so close, they are like man and wife. They're going to have the mother of all weddings. It will be a huge party."
The model and Hince have yet to confirm the news.
Moss has an eight-year-old daughter, Lila, with her former partner Jefferson Hack.
She does, however, compare them to her own children, recalling her daughter Leni's recent unfiltered response when her mom asked her to take a potty break last summer. "She said, 'I can just pee in the pool.' They're just so honest."
Still, there are moments when the children aren't as forthcoming. Like when the supermodel had something, er, on her face. "I had boogers coming out of my nose, and they didn't want to tell me," Klum says. "So I leave the room and we filmed what they said when I was gone." Our guess? Ewww!
But when we caught up with her and boyfriend Cy Waits after dinner last night in Beverly Hills, Paris (who's weathered her fair share of scandals) seemed to be on Team Charlie.
Here's what she had to say:
"It's one of my favorite shows," she said of his Two and Half Men, before stating her support and well wishes to Charlie, who's rehabbing at home after a wild weekend.
No word on where Brooke has been during all of the craziness, although we do know that another ex-Mrs. Sheen, Denise Richards, was at the hospital and Tweeting about the incident.
As for Paris, she has been pretty busy herself these days, finishing up filming on her Oxygen reality series with Brooke and jetting to Brazil to walk the runway.
She also shot the ad campaign for Triton Lovers fashion line during her brief Brazilian trip.
She wasn't the only boldfaced name visiting the country. A source says Paris and Cy were on the same flight out of L.A. with Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore.
The couple, who renew their wedding vows each year, still drive each other wild after seven years of marriage.
"You have to marry someone who you think is really, really hot and sexy," the supermodel, 37, told reporters during a conference call to promote her Lifetime series Seriously Funny Kids, which debuts with two back-to-back episodes Feb. 1. "To me, [Seal] is the hottest man. I still look at him, and he's hot and sexy . I still feel that, and I get the butterflies in my stomach."
Klum says that aside from the nature of her career, she focuses on staying fit so her husband, 47, will continue to find her irresistible.
"We work on staying hot for the other person," says Klum. "You know, exercising, eating right, keeping the body in shape . I don't want to get out of the bed and be covering myself like, 'Ooh, don't look at my butt.' "
“Here is my picture! Thanks to daddy and mommy,” read the post, purportedly from the newborn.
Kroes, 25, and James, who wed in November, welcomed their baby boy on Friday, Jan. 21 in Amsterdam.
Campbell then made a stink, saying White overstated her involvement with the fragrance. But White then offered a recording of a 2006 meeting about the deal, which she says subjects Campbell and her lawyer to a perjury charge. Yesterday, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Judith Gische called the allegations "serious," but said Campbell and her team should have an opportunity to defend themselves before she decides whether to refer them to the district attorney. Campbell's lawyer "categorically" denied the allegations, as do Campbell and her manager.
A friend of Lakshmi tells PEOPLE the reality host is "devastated" that Dell made their custody battle public by filing court papers in Manhattan requesting more time with Krishna.
"She said 'I'm living in a nightmare,' " the friend says. "She's a single working mother who is trying very hard to have a peaceful and calm environment for her daughter. The recent events are making it difficult."
Another source says Lakshmi, 40, has "encouraged Mr. Dell to be in Krishna's life. [Krishna] needs to know her father and have a consistent relationship with him." However, the source points out that Lakshmi is still nursing her daughter and that "[Dell's visitation] will increase as Krishna ages – as it's appropriate."
Dell's attorney says his client isn't interested in garnering attention, but simply getting more time with his daughter. "There was no desire for publicity and Adam regrets that there is some – but [he] can't help it given that he was forced to go to court to assert his rights as a father," his lawyer, Bill Zabel, of Manhattan law firm Schulte, Roth & Zabel, tells PEOPLE.
Lakshmi's attorney, Jay D. Silverstein of Blank Rome LLP, disputes the facts laid out in Dell's court papers, calling them "inaccurate and misleading."
"Ms. Lakshmi looks forward to correcting the record in the courts, not the press," said Silverstein in a statement. "She is saddened and gravely disappointed that Mr. Dell has chosen a very public means of filing his petition with the court rather than doing so in a confidential or sealed manner, which is customary in cases involving a very young child."
A rep for Lakshmi says the TV host believes family matters should remain private and contends that Lakshmi and her lawyers only learned about the court filming through a statement Dell provided to the press.
"Ms. Lakshmi's sole interest lies in preserving the privacy and welfare of her daughter and in working out and fair and amicable agreement out of the media's glare," adds the rep.
But when it comes to Klum’s own four kids, there’s one thing she and hubby Seal do not find funny: swearing.
“When we’re around the children, we really make a point in our family to not curse or say potty words,” Klum, 37, told PEOPLE on a conference call promoting the Lifetime series, which airs Feb. 1.
“My husband and I try our best to make sure our kids are proper and have good manners. They’re already saying things that they shouldn’t be saying at their age.”
Klum has especially tried to steer her eldest daughter out of the wrong direction.
“Leni will sometimes come home and say, ‘What the…,’” the model mommy explains. “And I say, ‘Leni, “What the…” isn’t a sentence. It’s inappropriate and you can’t say it.’”
Klum — who admits she is not perfect — saves the swearing for her friends.
“I’m not saying I’m a saint by any means,” she says. “When I’m with grown-ups and we’re out, I curse sometimes and we say some inappropriate things. But when we’re at home, my husband and I try our best to make sure our children are proper and have good manners.”
In addition to Leni, 6½, Klum and Seal are also parents to Henry, 5, Johan, 4, and Lou, 15 months.
The model/reality TV star and AOL on Wednesday unveiled a partnership to create exclusive original programming focused on fashion, beauty, parenting, arts and crafts, relationships and lifestyle.
Financial terms weren't disclosed.
Klum and Full Picture Entertainment, the producers of Project Runway, will create video content, articles, blogs and photo galleries, among other things. The digital content offer is set to launch within months.
The partners mentioned the content will cover everything from "fun family activities to insider beauty tips to creating successful relationships at work and home."
"During my 15 years in the business, I've received so many questions on a variety of topics from my favorite toothbrush to juggling family and a busy work schedule," Klum said. "I'm bringing in the experts that have helped me over the years to help inspire you."
Said AOL chairman and CEO Tim Armstrong: "Our objective in 2011 is to make AOL the first choice online destination for women."
Dell, 41, brother of billionaire Dell Inc. founder Michael Dell, last night filed a suit in Manhattan Supreme Court asking for full custody of Krishna, born last Feb. 20. Venture capitalist Dell is frustrated the "Top Chef" host, 40, has allegedly failed to respond to his pleas for more time with Krishna.
His lawyer, Bill Zabel, confirmed the filing and told us in a statement: "Adam Dell, above all else, wants to have an active and substantial role in the upbringing of his daughter with Padma Lakshmi. Unfortunately, Ms. Lakshmi has severely limited his time with their daughter and has refused to negotiate a reasonable co-parenting agreement. Mr. Dell has tried his best to avoid going to court, but Ms. Lakshmi has given him no other choice at this time."
Sources say Lakshmi and Dell currently have an agreement which allows him to see their baby for seven hours a week. But it's complicated by Lakshmi's filming and travel commitments. Dell had to fly to the Bahamas this month to spend a few hours with Krishna. "He has to fit into her schedule," the source added.
Sources close to Dell said he must deal with her lawyers and her assistant to arrange times to see Krishna. One source said, "Adam does not want to take the baby away from her. He hopes this will result in a reasonable co-parenting agreement." Dell is also said to be seeking to be named on Krishna's birth certificate and have her take his surname along with Lakshmi's.
Lakshmi, ex-wife of Salman Rushdie, and Dell dated briefly in 2009, but she's remained with IMG owner Teddy Forstmann. Many believed Forstmann was the dad, but Page Six revealed it was Dell last January.
A rep for Lakshmi said, "It appears to us that Mr. Dell remains more interested in garnering media attention than working out details to see Krishna or in her welfare."
But it's all in good fun, says the supermodel mommy, 37, who told reporters, "I do pranks with them. I get to know so many kids and their personalities, but my favorite is always the hidden camera bits. It's hard for me because I can't crack up. I have to stay in that moment, and sometimes it gets serious."
Klum recalls a moment from the show – which premieres with two back-to-back episodes Feb. 1 – that stands out in her mind as particularly memorable.
"There was a little girl, and she was so into fashion and she had seen me on Project Runway," Klum says. "And I said, 'You know, I've been world's best-dressed woman for 10 years. I'm so excited. Look at me. I have so much style and class.' I was really hamming it up."
But the joke was on the little girl once Klum said she needed to step away for a moment.
"As I walked away, my phone rings," Klum says. "The girl picks up the phone, and ... it was some journalist who called and said, 'By the way, we're putting Heidi on the cover of the worst-dressed person in the world, and you have to break it to her.' "
The fake phone call left the little girl devastated.
"She was so cute and she was so on my side," Klum says. "Then I came back and she had a breakdown ... and I couldn’t crack up because then she would have known it was a hidden camera bit."
Adds the mom of four, summing up the gist of the whole show, "It's so funny when these moments happen and [the kids] don't know they're being filmed. We do a lot of those, and I love those because they're just so honest."
A surreal take on the Bad News Bears, it seems. With the professional Polish soccer team Warta Poznan in danger of dropping down a division as it struggles to stay afloat, a surprising potential savior has emerged.
Coming to the players' rescue is former Playboy cover model Izabela Lukomska-Pyzalska, 33, who has vowed to reverse their fortunes and turn them into winners.
Lukomska-Pyzalska has been named club chair of the second-division team and won't be cowed by Poland's macho soccer scene, she told the rolling news channel TVN24, according to FoxSoccer.com.
"This isn't a problem for me. It's my meat and drink," she said.
She runs a real estate and construction firm now, having given up modeling.
"That's hardly a woman's world either," she says. "I don't have a light touch in the construction sector. I'll be looking for the same things in football: order and discipline."
Warta is currently third from bottom in its division, and when the league resumes in March, the team is said to face an uphill battle.
The socialite hit headlines back in 2004 when a porn video called 1 Night in Paris surfaced on the internet.
The film, which features Hilton with her former boyfriend Rick Salomon, became a best-seller and now executives at the company which owns the copyright to the tape are suing online users who have been downloading the footage without paying.
Bosses at XPays Inc., who obtained the copyright from Salomon's brother Jim, have filed suit in Los Angeles County Superior Court, targeting 843 users who are alleged to have illegally obtained the film between 2010 and 2011, according to TMZ.com.
"There will be no war between Elaine and John Mellencamp," Kris Gebhardt, John’s former trainer and 11-year friend of the exes, tells PEOPLE. "They are both levelheaded people who are great parents. They have a lot of respect for each other."
Gebhardt believes that Irwin, 41, will get through her breakup from John, 59, without a problem.
"No one is happy with a split, but Elaine is a trouper, a doer and a woman who can exist on her own just fine," Gebhardt says. "She’s a gem and so is John."
Gebhardt also says the couple's split had nothing to do with Meg Ryan.
"Divorce doesn't happen over one thing," Gebhardt says. "Things changed, directions differed and ambitions have taken their own course. It took awhile to get to this stage. It was not a sudden decision and not about another person.”
Another friend of Irwin’s adds, "Elaine has been taking it one day at a time. She has been getting a lot of support from friends and colleagues. The trip during Golden Globes was a welcome distraction."
Irwin traveled to Los Angeles with her children and hit some of the award show parties Jan. 16.
Irwin, a face of Almay beauty products, was engaged to John when she was 23, after only ten weeks of dating. They have two sons, Hud and Speck.
The former Victoria's Secret Angel slash Project Runway host slash mom of four has taken the next step in moguldom, inking a deal for her own fragrance with Coty Inc.
"I am thrilled to be partnering with Coty on my new fragrance," says Klum. "Working for a long time on developing a signature scent and watching it finally come to life is so exciting. I never thought my nose would recover from sniffing so many scent combinations, but it is all worth it."
So what's it called? And what's Orlando Bloom doing in the fragrance department?
Klum has named her "special" and "head-turning" new perfume Heidi Klum Shine.
The scent will launch in fall 2011.
Meanwhile, Orlando Bloom has landed the ad campaign for Hugo Boss fragrance Boss Orange Man, out Feb. 1.
The Lord of the Rings actor says he never even thought about modeling before: "I'm a guy's guy. I'm not really a fragrance kind of guy."
But after Hugo Boss execs explained that the project was "about a unique quality of independence and freedom, open minds and free souls and all of these [sorts] of ideas," Bloom was on board. He also filmed a commercial for the cologne, in which he explains he had the genius idea to "muss his hair" at the end.
"Because that's the way I am," Bloom explained. "I don't spend a lot of time froufrou-ing myself.
"I have been wanting to share some amazing news with you all for some time," she announced via her Twitter account Friday. "I'm pregnant!"
Trump, 29, daughter of The Apprentice star Donald Trump, married New York Observer owner Jared Kushner in October 2009.
"Jared and I couldn't be more excited," she added.
Doutzen Kroes welcomed a son, Phyllon, on Friday morning, Jan. 21, in Amsterdam, her rep confirms.
The baby boy, who weighed in at 8 lbs., is the first child for the Victoria's Secret stunner, 25, and husband Sunnery James.
"Sunnery and I are very excited to welcome our healthy and beautiful baby boy, Phyllon, into the world and into our lives. We couldn’t be happier," Kroes tells PEOPLE.
"We're in love with him! Can't describe this feeling! Phyllon (pronounce: Fillen) is in our life!" the proud new father Tweeted.
"There was no gossip about it; no one knew it was going to happen," she tells TVGuide.com of Hef's Christmas Day announcement that he had proposed to 24-year-old Crystal Harris.
So how does Holly feel about it? "I wish them well," she says. "I just hope he's making the right decision and that she takes good care of him."
Madison remains focused on the second season of her E! reality series, Holly's World, premiering Sunday at 10:30/9:30c. In the new season, the four-time Playboy cover girl is asked for the first time to shed some pounds. But doing so has been quite a challenge for the former Girls Next Door star.
"I'm trying to eat healthy, but things have been so busy ... that I really can't find time to work out," she says. "I'm lucky if I get enough sleep every night."
Marie Caro was apparently suffering from "enormous guilt" and took her own life earlier this month, Britain's Daily Mail reports, citing Swiss newspaper 20 Minutes.
Isabelle gained fame after her anorexia-ravaged body was featured in a shocking 2007 advertising campaign, and she died in November at age 28 after being admitted to a French hospital.
"[Marie] felt guilty for having put my daughter in the Bichat Hospital. My daughter did not want to go to that hospital," Isabelle's stepfather, Christian, said.
He had also said in a statement shortly after his stepdaughter's death that she'd died "from the successive consequences of negligence by the medical staff." He has since launched a legal complaint against the hospital, according to the Mail.
Isabelle's battle with anorexia was put on stark display in a fashion ad campaign by Italian photographer Oliviero Toscani in 2007. Caro's naked body was shown with her skeletal frame and facial bones protruding, and the images were splashed in newspapers and on billboards with the headline "No Anorexia."
Really! She was actually working!
So what's the police project? And what's her connection to the cop?
She was filming a documentary called Sunset Strip about the legendary LA boulevard. Other celebs who've participated in the documentary so far include Hugh Hefner, Ozzy Osbourne and Courtney Love.
Paris was pulling double duty filming last night. Earlier in the evening, she shot scenes with Brooke Mueller for her Oxygen series at Beso.
And oddly enough, the "cop" in the car with her is actually an actor named David Gail, who was Brooke's boyfriend more than 13 years ago. The two were staging a Sunset Strip ride-along for the doc.
Talk about a small world!
The justices listened to arguments from a lawyer of the deceased former Playmate, whose estate is locked in a years-long battle for money they say was promised her by her husband, oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall.
The convoluted dispute over Marshall's money has its roots in a Houston strip club where he met Smith. The two were wed in 1994 when he was 89 and she 26. Marshall died the next year and his will left his estate to his son, E. Pierce Marshall, and nothing to Smith, whose real name was Vickie Lynn Marshall.
Smith challenged the will, claiming that her husband promised to leave her more than $300 million above the $7 million in cash and gifts showered on her during their 14-month marriage.
Smith moved to California after his death and filed bankruptcy in Los Angeles, alleging in federal court filings that her husband promised her a large share of the estate. A bankruptcy judge awarded her $475 million from Marshall's estate, with a federal judge reducing that amount to $89 million in 2002.
Smith had wanted the courts to accept that ruling but the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco threw it out, saying the bankruptcy judge could not rule on the probate case.
The appeals court said that determining court decision was that of a Houston jury that said Marshall was mentally fit and under no undue pressure when he wrote a will leaving nearly all of his estate to his son and nothing to Smith.
The younger Marshall died in 2006 and Smith died of a drug overdose in 2007.
The legal issue the justices are grappling with is whether bankruptcy judges can make rulings on issues outside of bankruptcy law.
Her lawyer, Kent L. Richland, said the appeals court was wrong on its limiting of the bankruptcy court's reach. "This court's cases established that the bankruptcy court was constitutionally authorized to decide that entire dispute," he said.
The Marshalls' lawyer, Roy T. Englert, Jr., said the law is clear: Bankruptcy courts — which are non-Article III courts unlike the federal courts — can only bring final judgments on issues that are related to the Bankruptcy Code.
When debtors say, "'I get to bring my counterclaim against the creditor in a non-Article III forum and the non-Article III forum gets to hear it and determine . then I suggest there is a constitutional problem," Englert said.
It is not immediately known when the court will rule on this case. But it is unlikely that the Supreme Court's ruling will end the legal wrangling, with other appeals of other aspects of the case working their way through the court system.
In fact, this was not the first time Smith's name had been heard at the high court.
She showed up at the Supreme Court in 2006, dressed in all black, to hear the justices debate whether she could pursue her late husband's fortune in court. She wept in the courtroom as justices discussed Marshall and whether he had intended to provide for his young wife in death.
The high court ruled in her favor that time.
And Justice Anthony Kennedy in 2009 refused to lift a court order that prevented Smith's estate from collecting any money under the bankruptcy court ruling. Elaine Marshall, Pierce Marshall's widow, had argued that the order preventing Smith's estate from collecting the money should remain in place while the tangle of competing claims was sorted out.
Smith's daughter, Dannielynn Birkhead, was named Smith's heir in 2008. The girl's father, Larry Birkhead, and attorney Howard K. Stern are in charge of the estate.
The case is Stern v. Marshall, 10-179.
The European Court of Human Rights ruled against the paper having to pay the "success fee" Campbell agreed to pay her lawyers on top of other legal costs, arguing it didn't fit the offense.
In 2004, Campbell won her battle against the Daily Mirror, which printed photographs in 2001 showing her leaving a drug counseling meeting. Britain's highest court ruled the paper breached Campbell's privacy by running the photos and a story detailing her treatment.
The model testified at the time that she felt "shocked, angry, betrayed and violated" by the piece, which was headlined: "Naomi: I am a drug addict."
The Strasbourg court said the "success fees" were more than 365,000 pounds as part of over 1,000,000 pounds in costs, and called them disproportionate.
The judges said there is a risk to media reporting and freedom of expression if the potential costs of defending a case risked putting pressure on the media and newspaper publishers to settle cases that could have been defended.
British libel laws place the burden of proof on the defendant to show what it published was true. But many other countries — including the U.S. — require plaintiffs to prove a published article was both false and written with malicious intent. Free speech advocates say the U.K. legislation has a chilling effect on journalism, as newspapers are reluctant to publish certain types of articles due to fears of hefty legal fees and lengthy court disputes.
That has earned Britain a reputation as a "libel tourism" destination for celebrities and corporations to wage costly legal battles — a phenomenon the government has vowed to curb.
"This judgment is a clarion call for the U.K. judiciary to put libel costs under the microscope," said media law specialist Mark Stephens, who helped prepare a submission on free speech to the Strasbourg court and called the ruling an "amazingly good result."
"It means that the gravy train for grasping claimant lawyers and their greedy clients has hit the buffers."
The government has pledged to change Britain's libel laws. In a statement Tuesday, it said it was already working on a "much-needed reform of conditional fee arrangements, including success fees."
The Daily Mirror welcomed the ruling, saying that after a long hard fight it has "been proved right" about success fees.
The Daily Mirror had also complained to the court that the privacy verdict and the amount of legal fees breached the paper's right to freedom of expression.
The court, however, rejected that claim. The judges found that, since the publication of the photos and articles had not contributed to any "debate of general interest" to society, the newspaper had a lower level of protection for freedom of expression.
Holly Madison's latest relationship with her boyfriend Jack Barakat was fueled by the 140 characters-or-less social site.
"We met through a mutual friend and then somehow somebody retweeted something funny he said on Twitter," she told me while promoting the second season of Holly's World. "So I started following him, and then we started Tweeting each other back and forth!"
How did things progress from the digital world to reality?
"So then we started direct messaging each other and then exchanged numbers," she explained to me. "We were texting for months, and finally when I had my vacation, I was like, 'Do you wanna come out hang out with me?' and he did and we hit it off right away."
And he's already got the seal of approval from one of her BFFs!
"When I was there in early December to celebrate her birthday, he came and I was giving her a bad time saying 'I'm gonna see if he's a douche, I don't know if he's good enough for you. I'm gonna grill him!'," Holly's former Mansion roomie Bridget Marquardt told me of meeting Jack for the first time, "But he's a really nice guy. He's really really sweet and they were so cute, all snuggly and kissy and lots of PDA."
Viewers can see for themselves, since Holly says he's in the very first episode of her show. Tune in this Sunday at 10:30 p.m.!
Under a post titled "Our darling little man xxx," Kerr shared that Flynn arrived Jan. 6 and weighed 9 pounds, 12 ounces. The post was accompanied by a photo taken by Bloom of Kerr nursing.
"I gave birth to him naturally; without any pain medication and it was a long, arduous and difficult labour, but Orlando was with me the whole time supporting and guiding me through it," Kerr wrote. "I could not have done it without him. We are so happy and are enjoying our time together as a family. He is our little ray of sunshine."
Flynn is the first child for the couple, who quietly wed in July after dating for three years. Kerr announced her pregnancy a month later.
"My dad taught me how to ride," Miller, 32, tells the February issue of Shape, on newsstands Jan. 24.
"Being outside in nature is so freeing for me," the California girl adds. "And whenever I really focus on something – whether it's surfing, biking, or cooking – that's how I de-stress. But I also love the challenge. Riding my motorcycle builds my self-esteem and confidence."
But earlier this week, Holly had changed her tune: "Basically, I think he could do better," she dished to Life & Style.
So how does former Hef girlfriend and Holly's onetime roommate Bridget Marquardt feel about the engagement?
She was a bit more diplomatic. "I just hope that they're both happy and that they've thought it through and that they're making the right decision," she told me via phone today. "If so, I'm totally happy for them."
Bridget sent congratulatory Sprinkles cupcakes to Hef and Crystal, but says she understands why Holly came out swinging.
"I think she's definitely very protective over Hef and the decisions that he makes and I think that's good for her to share her opinions," she added. "Hopefully Hef reads that and takes her thoughts into consideration as well. But he's a grown man and if they're both happy...then whatever."
And although Bridget gives her BFF props for hanging in there with Hef, she think it's actually for the best that he never popped the question to Holly.
"Holly gets an A for effort!" she joked. "She was there for a really long time and she really wanted it. But Holly wanted more than he was able to give. She wants to have kids some day and that's something Hef wasn't really interested in."
Despite Holly's love for Hef, the timing was off, according to Bridget.
"Everything happens for a reason and timing just wasn't right for her," she explained, "And that's probably a good thing because he couldn't give her everything she wanted!"
The blonde BFFs will be reunited soon at Super Bowl, where they'll cohost the Leather & Laces party at Hotel ZaZa in Dallas.
"I'm making my own football-themed costume," Bridget tells me, promising that it will be sexy.
Can't wait to see!
"Big birthday, yeah, -- I'm freaking out," said Hilton during the NBC party at the Television Critics Association tour.
"I can't believe I'm going to be 30. It's very strange. I feel like I'm an adult now.
"Thirty is the new 20, they're saying. At least I look like I'm 20."
Hilton was on hand to promote her new reality series The World According to Paris, which debuts in the spring on the U.S. cable network Oxygen.
Hilton spent a long time pleasantly answering reporters' questions, coming across as well-spoken and friendly.
Asked to identify the biggest misconception about her, Hilton said, "There are so many misconceptions about me, rumours and lies that I read, I'm like, 'Who is this person they're talking about?' That's just part of being in the media world. But on the show you're going to see that's not who I really am.
"I'm an amazing businesswoman, that's something I'm really proud of. I've built an empire. I have 17 different licencees in my brand. I have a big heart. And I'm actually very smart."
Hilton acknowledged she always will be someone who "lives life to the fullest," but added, "Now when I go to parties it's more for business. It's not all about just going to a party for no reason. I'm there for a reason."
The cable channel said Thursday that "The World According to Paris" will debut this spring.
An Oxygen executive described the series as "for real," detailing the "highs" of the socialite turning 30 and her relationships.
Programming executive Amy Introcaso-Davis says it will also focus on the "lows" of her forced community service.
Last September, Hilton pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges, including drug possession, stemming from an August 2010 arrest on the Las Vegas Strip.
Her punishment included a fine and 200 hours of community service.
An air date for "The World According to Paris" wasn't announced.
So says Stephanie Seymour's 18-year-old socialite son, Peter Brant II, who issued a statement on his Facebook fan page (yes, the dude has one) smacking down tabloid insinuations that a liplock on the beach last week with his supermodel mom is somehow indicative of an incestuous relationship.
How does he explain the salacious photos that have been making their way around the Net?
"I would just like to say that these pictures have been taken completely out of context, my mother and i are very close as she is with all her children. she often hugs and kisses me and my siblings in an manner that is intimate, any mother in the world does the same," writes Brant, Seymour's child with newsprint billionaire and film producer Peter Brant.
Junior noted that the whole so-called "Beach kiss scandal" has been "taken completely out of context," particularly given he's, uh, gay.
"That day on the beach we walked around with each other completely aware of the presence of photographers there," added Brant. "We have nothing to hide and with that in mind I would like to say that I am openly gay. At my age my mother and I are almost like friends and I feel open to talk to her about anything (and yes our relationship may be different because of my sexuality)."
Pretension holds no bounds for this guy, who describes himself on his Facebook page as a "socialite and model," a dapper-looking young lad, often spotted attending Fashion Week and photographed wearing ascots.
No doubt this will up the number of Facebook fans he has. Now if only he can sing, we're pretty sure a Glee cameo is just around the corner.
So Holly has big plans for who to set her friend up with, and you probably already know him from Jersey Shore.
So who's the guy? And is he interested in single mom Angel?
"I want her to date DJ Pauly D!" Holly told me while promoting the second season of her E! show. "They're both Italian stallions and they both have bedazzled laptops."
And Pauly just so happens to be setting up camp in Vegas soon to shoot his MTV spinoff series!
Angel herself, who was also on-hand, says she's down. "Yeah, I suppose!" she said, adding: "We talk via text and Twitter but it's nothing too serious. We've never hung out outside of an event."
But that could all change once the single MTV star, who's been linked to Brittny Gastineau and Chloë Sevigny, hits Sin City.
"Angel and Holly are my girls," Pauly tells me exclusively. "I love them both. I can't wait to get out to Vegas. I'm open to Holly playing matchmaker!"
Sounds like this dude is DTD: Down to Date! Catch all the hijinks when Holly's World premieres Jan. 23 at 10:30/9:30c on E!.
