Elizabeth Taylor: Classic Beauty In Every Sense

The antithesis of today’s Hollywood fashion icon, Taylor always dressed like a movie star

Elizabeth Taylor had it all: the violet, almond-shaped eyes, the creamy skin, the pouty lips and raven hair.

Of course, there were her Oscars, iconic roles and many husbands, too, but Taylor is most renowned for her beauty. She died Wednesday at 79 from congestive heart failure.

The public saw her mature from a young curly haired tomboy in "National Velvet" to the sultry "Cleopatra." Yet no matter the time, place or role, her glamour was consistent, and that was inspiring to women, even if they could never quite replicate it.

"Every quality that we consider classically beautiful, she had," said Amy Keller Laird, beauty director of Allure. "She was sexy and girlish at once, she had both those qualities all through her life."

In 1951, Taylor showed off her legendary 19-inch waist in a strapless dress with a bodice top, full tulle skirt and delicate flowers at the neckline designed by Edith Head that InStyle fashion director Hal Rubenstein said was the "blueprint for prom dresses of the '50s."

The same went for lingerie styles after she wore a lace-trimmed slip in "Butterfield 8." Black kohl eyeliner was all the rage  after "Cleopatra."

Elizabeth Taylor: Star Of A Lifetime

Taylor was the antithesis of today's Hollywood fashion icon, who is eager to be seen as an everywoman. She was always dressed like a movie star: hair done, makeup on and lots of jewelry. Never would you see Taylor in jeans and a T-shirt.

Rubenstein said he had the pleasure of meeting her a few times. "As a child, she was eerily beautiful — she never had a child's face, and as a woman, she was unmatchably beautiful," he said.

This 1961 photo shows actress Elizabeth Taylor in the film "Butterfield 8." The actress died Wednesday in Los Angeles of congestive heart failure at age 79.

"She was an incredible beauty and she had an awareness of her own beauty. Even those we think are great beauties today play it down and speak modestly — there's always something they don't like and they apologize for it, but she never did," Rubenstein said. "She was aware of her gifts and truly appreciated them."

He also noted that Taylor made sure any and all of her suitors, from boyfriends and husbands to reporters, knew that she liked gifts and that she expected them. After all, one of the most important diamonds of all time, a 69-carat stone, was a gift from husband No. 5 and 6, Richard Burton. It is now known as the Taylor-Burton Diamond.

Hilton’s Paparazi Tips For Britney

Socialite heiress Paris Hilton feels pop diva Britney Spears could use some help when it comes to her fashion sense. Paris Hilton insists pop star Britney Spears should try and cooperate with the paparazzi and not antagonize them.

The hotel heiress, who appeared on the talk show “The View,” claims she sympathizes with Spears’ battle with the media, but that the best way to handle the pesky photographers is to smile and work with them.
“The paparazzi annoy me, too. I can understand going to a press event or a premiere that’s fine, they’re there, but when they’re waiting outside your home every morning and following you around every single day it’s hard,” Hilton explained in the talk show The View.

I wonder, is Britney going to take Paris’ advice?

Britney Spears Topless, Hoax?

Britney Spears has again managed to surprise the world with her crazy antics once again, this time posing topless in a garden, the return of her naked boobs. Well, sorta. Britney Spears is seen in several shots covering her nipples with bright red flowers and crouching on a rock in a botanical garden. The topless woman does have some very strategically placed flowers across her breasts so as to make the photos PG-13 rated.
Britney, who is pictured wearing a fedora and sporting sunglasses, reportedly posed for the photographs at a friend’s house last month.

However, the timing immediately caused speculation that the photos are a hoax and were taken on April Fool’s Day. If it is a look-alike she has it down pat all the way down to the trashy outfit.
The Toxic singer, who performed live for the first time in three years on Tuesday (01May07) night in California, wearing a straw hat and over sized shades, dropped her white linen top and posed for the pictures in the front garden of one of her friend’s house using only freshly picked flowers to cover her boobs. Britney who has been in rehab, in trouble with the law and has sacked her manager seems to be finally getting her life back on track.
She caught a ton of criticism for another see through outfit she recently wore out - but in that one at least she was wearing a hot pink bra. The fashion sense was pathetic but everything was covered.

Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie Would Get Married – If The Kids Asked Them To

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have never made marriage a priority. But that could change with a request from a few special people.

'I think it would be hard to say no to the kids,' Angelina, 35, said on Monday morning on ABC's Good Morning America.

But so far, it hasn't been an issue, as none of their six children seem to think it's a priority, either.

'They're not asking,' Angelina says. 'They are very aware that nothing's missing.'

Angelina, who stars in the new spy thriller Salt, touches on other aspects of her family in the interview, including whether it will get any larger. She and Brad, 46, are torn about the issue - drawn to the idea of it, yet dreading how it would stretch them even thinner.

'We always have this thing, first thing in the morning, where we're really, really tired, and we look at each other and we wonder, are we ever going to get sleep?' the actress says.

'And yet we still love the idea of having more children.'

Offering a glimpse into their daily routine, Angelina says she's better at disciplining the girls, while Brad is better at disciplining the boys.

'I think girls and Daddy can just bat their eyes,' she says. 'And the boys, funnily enough, can kind of get me.'

She also describes the pandemonium of the Jolie-Pitts at breakfast time.

'We're like bartenders. We're like waiters,' she says of herself and her actor-partner.

'But we still, I think, are able to do it because we manage to have a great laugh. We do it together, and we find fun in it, and because of that, it doesn't matter if you don't get sleep.

'It's an honor to take care of them.'

On the subject of love, Angelina is asked if Brad is the love of her life - and if there is indeed one true love for anyone.

'He makes me feel like there is,' she replies.

Asked if they'll grow old together, she doesn't hesitate.

'Of course,' she says. 'We wouldn't have six children if we weren't absolutely sure of that.'

Sienna Miller Called Slut and Slag

The “factory Girl” star, Sienna Miller, loathes walking down the road because people verbally harass her. She recently revealed that she has been called a “slut” and a “slag” the public. Sienna who has been linked to actor Jude Law, Josh Hartnett and Hayden Christensen is upset that she cant walk on the street without people yelling slurs at her.

Sienna Miller said: “People say the most horrible things to me like ’slut’ and ’slag’ and it upsets me because I’m not like that. “I’ve never had a one stand in my life. I’ve been in a relationship more or less for the past five years since I was 20, and sometimes people forget this.

“I know how to let it go over my head, but then sometimes you do question why people are saying it.

“But it’s not true.”

It’s good to know that the British babe is clearing the air. It’s hard to be known more for your personal relationships than your actual career.

Rashida Jones — Not The Marrying Kind

Rashida Jones is the perfect catch. She's beautiful, talented, smart (she went to Harvard, people!) and her parents are music maestro Quincy Jones and model turned actress Peggy Lipton.
 But there's one hitch, fellas — Rashida may not be the marrying kind.

"Things are changing so much," Jones says. "Especially this country, we have kind of failed with marriage. We're so protective of this really sacred but failed institution. There's got to be a new model. I don't know what it is, but maybe it's like 10 years with a lease to buy or rent to own."

The "Parks and Recreation" star has good reason to be talking relationships. Her new movie "Monogamy" (out on Friday) is about an engaged couple (Jones and "Julie & Julia" star Chris Messina) on the verge of getting married but dealing with the question of infidelity.

So does Jones believe in monogamy? Read on to find out. Plus, what she told me about pursuing a music career, acting opposite Kermit the Frog and the hotness of Garrett Hedlund and Andrew Garfield...

Kardashian Family Made A Collective $65m In 2010

It all started with a sleazy sex tape and ended with $65 Million for a family. That's as bluntly as I could put it.

The huge exposure Kim Kardashian got when this previously unknown personality rocketed to Internet and reality show fame through a sex tape is nothing short of phenomenal. According to Hollywood Reporter, this crazy amount of exposure benefited her family as well.

Thanks to their collection of reality shows, celebrity endorsements, product endorsements, and appearance fees, the family has managed to rack up a huge $65 Million income for 2010. To put that huge number in perspective, the Kardashian family has made more than Angelina Jolie, Sandra Bullock, and Tom Cruise combined in 2010.

Even Kim Kardashian's mother, Kris Jenner, doesn't dispute that all this fame and success and moolah came directly as a result of Kim's sex tape expose. She says it was all about making the best out of a bad situation--of making lemonade out of lemons. More like a heap of honey to me.

Anna Nicole Smith Gossip

Anna Nicole Smith, Vickie Lynn Marshall in real life, was born in Houston, Texas on November 28, 1967. Sometime in 1991, she just found herself preparing for an audition for the worlds most famous adult Magazine, which she luckily got in. The boom of her career, however, started when Hugh Hefner chose Smith to be the cover girl of its March 1992 issue.

She also had her own reality show on E! cable network called The Ana Nicole Show, which focuses on her private life. She was very popularly known as an American sex symbol, and after being married to the old, rich man J. Howard Marshall II, she was also accused of gold digging.

She died on February 8, 2007, about 5 months after her son suddenly died in the hospital room while visiting her and her new born daughter.

Nude Photos Of Eva Mendes Go Missing

Six partially nude photos of Eva Mendes have gone missing. According to a well known photographer, he snapped 6 photos of Eva Mendes in various states of undress (can you say "side boob"?) and they have disappeared just when they were scheduled to be displayed at an art show.

The art show was to be held at Supperclub Los Angeles. According to Chubbuck, the theft occurred between the printer and another art show. He says he plans to file a police report not because
he believes the police will really seek to retrieve his photos but for insurance purposes.

Thankfully, Lyndon says he was able to get the pictures reprinted so the art show will proceed. We suspect he was just trying to milk a little publicity out of this otherwise sad(?) situation.

Gnomes Pack An Unexpected Box Office Punch!

Standing tall, Disney’s Gnomeo and Juliet reaped the benefits of being the only family animated film in wide release took the top spot with $14.2 million in its third weekend of release. (Gnomeo is in good company: True Grit and The Blind Side also ascended to first in their third weekends).  Sustaining yet another small weekend over weekend drop, the film has gotten solid word-of-mouth and has become a hit with kids and families.  With an impressive President’s weekend finish that had less than $40,000 separating it from the top spot in its second weekend of release, Gnomeo will continue to enjoy a strong courtship with an adoring family audience.

The Farrelly brothers gave Warner Bros. a second place $13.4 million debut with the R-rated Hall Pass.  Owen Wilson stars as a married man whose wife gives him permission to behave like a single man, have an affair and act very un-married.  Of course he takes his buddy played by Saturday Night Live’s Jason Sudeikis along for the ride.  With a premise that had married couples and the date crowd heading out to theaters and the Farrelly brothers reputation for raunchy comedy with a heart, Hall Pass was the comedy of choice this weekend.

Sony’s romantic comedy Just Go With It took fourth place with $11.1 million against a small 40% third weekend drop and a total domestic tally of $79.3 million.  Adam Sandler continues to prove his box office appeal to audiences as he along with co-star Jennifer Aniston keep the moviegoers heading to theatres.
With a third place debut over the extended President’s holiday weekend, Disney’s suspense thriller I am Number Four took a second weekend gross of $11 million against a 43% drop and total revenue to date of $37.8 million.  The film continues to get a major boost from the IMAX enhanced showings.
The tenacious Justin Bieber held at sixth place for the second straight weekend with a new version of Paramount’s G-rated Justin Bieber: Never Say Never that boasts additional footage and a director’s cut that brought the teen girls back for more and another $9.2 million in the bank.  The film has earned $62.8 million to date.
At the other end of the spectrum with a ninth place debut of $5.1million is the very R-rated 3-D action fantasy Drive Angry directed by Patrick Lussier who edited the first three films of the Scream horror franchise.  The very prolific Nicolas Cage brought his own special brand of humor to the proceedings but grossed less than the early January $10.6 million debut of Season of the Witch.
Fortunately the fourteen week box office down streak was broken last weekend.  Unfortunately, a solid year ago frame led by Shutter Island with $22.6 million, the $18.2 million debut of Cop Out and the $16.1 million opening of The Crazies handed the industry another tough comparison and thus another down weekend.

Abbey Clancy: It Was Horrific When I Gave Birth

Abbey Clancy and footballer fiancé Peter Crouch, 30, became proud parents to 7lb 9oz Sophia Ruby on Monday night and Abbey's still buzzing.

The new mum rang in to support Chris Moyles and Comedy Dave Vitty during their marathon radio broadcast for Comic Relief - and chatted about her daughter's birth.

'I'm as delirious as you,' Abbey, 25, told Chris.
'I've been up about the same amount of hours as you, 'cos I can't stop staring at my beautiful new baby.

Jennifer Aniston made a sex tape

Jennifer Aniston attempts to drop her dull image but all is not what it seems

On hearing the words 'Jennifer Aniston sex tape' our first thought was the actress, 42, had been hanging out with John Mayer again.

But fear not, the star's just recorded her first 'viral' video for US water company Smartwater and, thanks to the sexed-up title, the clip's already received over two million hits.

The bizarre ad shows Jen with some of the web's biggest stars, starting with Keenan Cahill, whose hilarious lip-synching of Katy Perry and 50 Cent's hits turned him into a YouTube phenomenon.

Then we find her in a room full of puppies (no, not those kind of puppies), before she starts telling off some naughty gyrating babies.

In the end, she approaches Chelsea Lately star Brad Wollack, who declares: 'I've been in love with you for ever.
