Sophia Bush Loves Her Carbs


"It's weird: In our business, I'm a size 2 and considered curvy ... It's important to remind young women, 'Listen, even skinny girls have cellulite, even Halle Berry has cellulite, and what you see in photos isn't totally real' ... You can look up old episodes of my show and see when I was being far too friendly with the craft-services table ... I'm not a waify girl and never will be. I think it's healthy when fitness experts encourage fitness rather than getting a certain body shape. And I'm Italian - I love food. I'm not goign to cut out bread and pasta and wine to be thinner." - Sophia Bush in Health magazine.

Kanye Has Something To Smile About



Looks like Kanye West will not face felony charges for the paparazzi scuffle involving him and his road manager, Don Crowley, at the LA airport earlier this month. Crowley has also been let off the hook for felony charges. Kanye blogged about the incident, saying, "We back in the lab!!! I'm cool with the paparazzi. This guy wasn't cool."

When In Rome

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are spending a little quality time together in the Italian city. Gracing the Roman streets, the lovebirds have been sightseeing (note the very "touristy" accessory) snapping pics of each other and the sights, and keeping their oh-so-cute romance alive on their most recent vacay.

Quote of the Day

"I was glad to hear it... I thought it was really sweet. That really brought a big smile to my face." - Heidi Montag, referring to Lauren's comments about missing her former bff on a recent Hills episode.

Because We'll Never Get Enough of Johnny as Capt. Jack


No, not even if the fourth Pirates film he's recently signed on for is a sinking ship. In addition to the pleasant news we'll be receiving a couple more hours of Johnny as Jack, it's finally been confirmed that he has indeed taken the role of the Mad Hatter for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland project. We'll definitely raise a teacup to that. The questionable role also announced? Johnny as Tonto in Jerry Bruckheimer's film adaptation of The Lone Ranger. Away?

Lindsay and Sam Confirm Relationship



It may have long since been an enormous duh, but Lindsay Lohan finally confirmed that she and DJ Samantha Ronson are a couple on Loveline Sunday night. Does this mean we don't have to cringe at the term "gal pal" every time they're mentioned?

Emmy Looks

From the glamorous gals to one dapper hunk after another, last night's Emmy red carpet was a sight to see.

From America Ferrera and Sandra Oh to Jeremy Piven and Christian Siriano, here are a few favorites:







For more looks of the night, Glam has their Best Dressed, Best Tressed and Best Dressed Men of the evening.

Emmy Buzz

Lindsay and Samantha get cozy with TV Guide.

Tina Fey wins big (3 awards), but loses her purse.

Host Heidi Klum changed 9 different times throughout the show!

Josh Groban should have won an award for best "marathon" performance with his medley of classic theme songs. My favorite - His rendition of The Fresh Prince of Belair!



And how may you ask was he able to pull this off? "A lot of rehearsal and a lot of coffee."

Christina Applegate made a smashing red carpet appearance.

Which housewife looked the best?

Lauren Conrad wore one of her own. (and looked good doing it!)

Sex Returns To The City?



So it looks like Sarah Jessica Parker is already talking about the next Sex And The City film. But it's hardly time to set a date with your girlfriends-it's not even official yet. However, Parker told USMagazine.com that she'll be discussing the possibility with writer Michael Patrick King pretty soon.

"It’s all about the story," Parker says. "If we can’t tell a story that’s really worthy of an audience, then we won't do it. We've been really lucky at this point. We’ve been in people’s good graces for a long time, and we take that very seriously. So that’s the biggest challenge, the story."

And just where does that story have left to totter? Cynthia Nixon fancies a "mad cap adventure" starring the main characters and Kim Cattrall is resolved that Samantha must remain single while Mario Cantone thinks Brad Pitt should play his boyfriend.

A girl can dream.

Brad's Same-Sex Marriage Support



Speaking of Mr. P., it turns out he does want to hear wedding bells- but not his own just yet. Brad is standing up for gay rights to the tune of $100K, serving up the hefty sum to aid in the fight against banning gay marriage in California and Massachusetts.

This week Brad explained his support: "Because no one has the right to deny another their life, even though they disagree with it, because everyone has the right to live the life they so desire if it doesn't harm another and because discrimination has no place in America, my vote will be for equality and against Proposition 8."

People's Best Dressed





It's that time of year again. People has released its picks for the 10 Best Dressed Stars of 2008.
Some of the predictable evergreen fashionistas have once again placed but there are a couple unconventional appearances too. So, prepare yourself for some hell yeahs and what the hells-here's the rundown:

Fergie
Anne Hathaway
Kate Hudson
Heidi Klum
Eva Mendes
Michelle Obama
Sarah Jessica Parker
Rihanna
Gwyneth Paltrow
Charlize Theron

Paltrow definitely amped it up this year, Rihanna continues to up the fierceness, and Hathaway's elegance has graced every glossy. Really, most of them are no-brainers for the mainstream fashion set. Any opinions on People's picks?

ScarJo Paints Rwanda (RED)



Scarlett Johansson has just returned from a four-day trip to Rwanda, where she helped bring attention to the African AIDS crisis with (RED).

While there, she met with doctors and patients at the Treatment Research and AIDS Clinic in Kigali as well as visited the Rural Health Clinic in Kubaga.

"It was important for me to come here and understand the issue we're up against firsthand," Johansson said. "It's not until you've had the privilege of meeting health care providers who are fighting the daily battle, heard from people who are now getting antiretroviral drugs to stay alive, and met mothers whose babies are born healthy because they received treatment that stopped transmission of HIV, that you understand that we absolutely can do something to reverse the AIDS crisis in African countries."

Want to Date Kate?

The blond bombshell of an actress insists she's "totally single." But the 29-year-old mother doesn't want to be wooed with a fancy dinner or elegant evening on the town. Hudson wants someone who's spontaneous, fun-loving free-spirit.

“I like to be surprised (with) something fun or something different, like racing cars… or miniature golf or something. If you’re going to go on a date, do it right, you know?”

90210: Did You Watch?


I’m bummed. I missed last night’s episode of the new 90210 (but it repeats on Thursday so I was keeping my cool. – I know, I know I need to get DVR …) Anyway, I was feeling okay about my decision to watch the 2-hour season premier of The Biggest Losers Couples Edition (I’m obsessed – it’s really inspirational!) until I read my email, checked the news, and turned on my phone ... OMG. Dylan McKay is Kelly Taylor’s baby daddy! This is big news. Does this mean a potential role (though he denies) or possibly a cameo or two (or three or four)?!? Kelly (I mean Jennie Garth) chatted with People about the revelation. Here’s a bit of what she had to say.


"It was very confusing for me because initially the idea of having a son was my idea. I thought it would bring a great amount of depth to my character. Then the question came up, ‘Well, who’s the father?’ And I really hadn’t thought it through that far. So, I was like, Oh, I guess need one of those. It’s gone back and forth: Who and what and when and why? I think they settled on Dylan because Kelly and Dylan had such a passionate relationship in the past. Their relationship was so heated. It was kind of undeniable … I would love to work with Luke [Perry] again. I love him dearly. And I also would love to work with Jason [Priestley] again. It’s a great question for the producers. I would be nothing but totally happy to have either of them there."
... He better show.
