Megan Fox Talks Plastic Surgery

“I would encourage anyone to first speak with a therapist. To try and figure out where this want comes from, because a lot of times it’s not related to your teeth or your nose or your chin, the surgery is not going to alleviate that insecurity for you.”
“If, then, you feel, ‘This is something that I want to do,’ then do it. It’s amazing that we have the technology to do the stuff that we do.”
… says Megan.  (skinnyvscurvy)

The Olsen Twins Want To Dress Michelle Obama, Filthy Hippie Chic To Sweep Nation


Teacup-sized designers Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have big plans for their designer clothing line the Row. So big, in fact, that they’re going to start with the White House. According to the twins, their high-end label would be perfect for Michelle Obama. Gushes Ashley, “I’d love to get Michelle Obama in the Row. The simple suits and things.”

As most people with the power of sight know, the Olsens are well-known for dressing like Janis Joplin and Cousin It on a bender (Historical note: this may have actually happened).  We doubt Mary-Kate and Ashley have the same definition for the word “simple” — and, while we’re at it, the word “suit” — as the rest of America.  However, the past few years have seen the twins make a glacially slow move away from Oscar the Grouch chic and toward a sleeker, albeit still bizarrely oversized, wardrobe. Perhaps Mary-Kate abd Ashley have been wearing such enormous frocks this entire time as a way to make a statement to the 5’10” FLOTUS. A statement like, “We refuse to make clothes that fit anyone beside you, Michelle; we don’t care how many car doors or street cleaners we must get caught before you buy them.”

But fit isn’t the only reason the First Lady should grab her AmEx and helicopter over to the mall. Says Ashley, “It’s all made in America, so why not?” Good point, Olsen #2! Unfortunately Mrs. Obama caught so much flack for flashing her bare arms after becoming First Lady, we can only imagine what FOX News would have to say if she showed up in a formal denim jumpsuit or a white satin fem-tuxedo. Rush Limbaugh would have a heart attack for days. [Photo: Getty Images] - thefablife.com

Another Day, Another Neck Tattoo For Rihanna


If we had a nickel for every time Rihanna got a tattoo, we’d be rich. (And we’d be even richer if we included the times she gave tattoos  to people, too).

So it shouldn’t be surprising that on her current trip to New York, RiRi popped into a local parlor and got yet another tattoo on her neck. We’re still not so clear on what that thing actually says  - something “flower”? Or “forever”? Maybe?

Check out our close-up shots and let us know what you think the ink says. [Photos: Splash News Online/WENN] - thefablife.com

James Van Der Beek Wedding Photo!

Life and Style, on newsstands nationwide Friday

James Van Der Beek got hitched (again) earlier this month...and truly looks like he couldn't be happier with new wife (and mom-to-be!) Kimberly Brook.

The actor, who tied the knot at the Kabbalah Centre in Tel Aviv, Israel, called the ceremony a sacred union of souls. "For us, there was tremendous freedom in not having to worry about the food getting cold or the DJ playing ‘YMCA' again!" he explained to Life & Style. (Van Der Beek met Brook in Israel while studying Kabbalah there a year ago.)

From the looks of it, the Dawson's Creek heartthrob won't be single again anytime soon (sorry, ladies). (eonline.com)

Lindsay Lohan Judge Recuses Herself From the Case

David Tonnessen/ PacificCoastNews.com

While she cleans up her act, Lindsay Lohan at least won't have to worry about one person breathing down her neck.

Marsha Revel, the Los Angeles Judge who came down hard on the troubled starlet and sent her to jail for failing to abide by the terms of her probation, has recused herself from Lohan's case after prosecutors raised objections to her handling of the case.

"Judge Revel recused herself from this case on Friday," said Los Angeles Superior Court spokesman Allan Parachini. "We can't confirm any reason. It's [been] reassigned to Judge [Elden] Fox."

E! News has learned that Revel was pressured by prosecutors into removing herself from overseeing Lindsay's probation.

According to a source, there was a meeting last Friday between District Attorney Danette Meyers, Lohan's lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley and Her Honor where the prosecutor objected to Revel making several phone calls to a rehab clinic without her being present for the communications.

The DA's office took specific issue with the judge selecting the Morningside treatment facility, which was not on the list of recommended facilities for the 24-year-old actress once she was released from the slammer. Instead, Meyers suggested UCLA as the best place for Lohan.

"UCLA was always the first choice for the DA," says the source.

In addition, the source also tells E! News another factor in Revel's decision to step down was when O.J. Simpson Dream Teamer  Robert Shapiro, who wasn't even Lohan's attorney of record (but was reportedly representing her), showed up at the courthouse without the district attorney present.

In legal proceedings, usually a judge cannot meet with one side without the other side being present.

Meyers was reportedly all set to file official paperwork formally objecting to Revel remaining on the case when the latter excused herself.

"Bottom line is we objected and she took herself off the case," added the source.

Beverly Hills Superior Court Judge Elden S. Fox will now take over. He's had quite a bit of experience handling celebrities scofflaws, having presided over former Prison Break star Lane Garrison's manslaughter case and Winona Ryder's infamous shoplifting trial. (eonline.com)

Whose Adorable Celebrity Daughter Is This?


First of all, whoever you think it is, you're probably wrong.

And for that, we praise the two-year-old's mother, who no doubt learned a thing or two about keeping her child out of the public eye (though sadly, not by example), thanks to her infamous sibling.

But it was the civilian proud papa who couldn't contain himself and posted this adorable shot on his Twitter page. You can bet he's gonna hear a thing or two—or 101—from his on-again baby mama. So who is it?

It's Maddie Aldridge!

The daughter of Jamie Lynn Spears and Casey Aldrige (and niece of Britney Spears) was snapped by her dad at a birthday party last month and promptly shown off. She turned 2 on June 19.

"My baby," he tweeted.

Aww, they grow up so fast!  (eonline.com)

Cops Confirm Fantasia Overdose a Suicide Attempt; Hear the 911 Call

Authorities have confirmed to E! News that Fantasia Barrino's hospitalization Monday night was the result of a suicide attempt.

Per a just released police report and 911 tape, an EMT unit responded to an emergency call placed at approximately 8:55 p.m. from Barrino's home in Glynmoor Lakes in which an unidentified caller reported that a woman "had taken a bottle of aspirin and she's slowly losing consciousness."

Listen to the 911 Call

The caller, who appears to be a male and made the call from outside the house, answered various questions from the dispatcher, saying the victim (later identified by her manager as Barrino) was "halfway" awake, breathing and not violent.

"The family tried to put her in the shower to try and keep her awake," said the individual.

At that point, the dispatcher ordered them to take her out of the shower while they waited for an ambulance.

The "I Believe" crooner was subsequently transported to nearby CMC-Pineville Medical Center after ingesting the medication, where she remains in stable condition.

The suicide attempt took place just days after Fantasia was named as the other woman in a divorce petition filed by Paula Cook, a North Carolina woman who accused Barrino of having an affair with her husband, Antwaun Cook.

Yesterday, the entertainer's manager, Brian Dickens, suggested that the overwhelming media attention from the suit and the stress of the situation may have left Barrino in a fragile emotional state. (eonline.com)

Is American Idol Dumping Jennifer Lopez Already?

Wow. Has Jennifer Lopez been eliminated by American Idol before she ever even took her seat on the judges' panel? Not even William Hung got the hook so fast!

Lopez was reportedly a candidate to join Idol as a replacement for Simon (and most likely also Kara) but talks have quite possibly collapsed. Here's the latest:

According to a People.com source, plans to hook up Jenny from the Block with American Idol collapsed because—wait for it—J.Lo is kind of a diva. According to the source, "Her demands got out of hand...Fox had just had enough."

Network Fox and production company Fremantle Media both replied to request for comment with a big, fat...wait for it..."No comment."

American Idol seems to be having a hard time getting butts in seats at that judges' table. After letting go of Paula Abdul, and losing Simon Cowell  and Ellen DeGeneres, only original judge Randy Jackson is rumored to be sticking around. Fox had hoped to have contracts in place before meeting with reporters at least week's Press Tour, but told us that no deals were in place yet.

 Kara DioGuardi also reportedly has been let go, and according to her dad, New York state politician Joe DioGuardi, she's not totally thrilled with how it's been handled so far. He told Capital Tonight,  "Would you believe that she did not hear and still has not heard anything? She read it the way you did and I did. In fact, her disappointment is that's the way she's being treated, and she feels that's not proper."

Now with So You Think You Can Dance's Nigel Lythgoe back on as an executive producer, perhaps he can give her a courtesy call?

As Randy Jackson told us last week, "The only thing that's for sure [about the upcoming 10th season] is Ryan [Seacrest]. Nothing has been decided...If Jennifer Lopez is a judge I would be very happy. I love her." Somewhere, a dawg is howling with sadness.

Did you think Lopez and Idol were a good match? Are you disappointed by this turn of events, or do you prefer your Lopez recording albums and shooting movies? (eonline.com)

Montana Fishburne: Could Johnny Depp Movie Be Next?

Barry Brecheisen/WireImage.com; E! Networks; Todd Williamson/WireImage

While ya may not think Montana Fishburne's decision to jumpstart her Hollywood career by starring in a hardcore porn film was the best route to take, she may be on to something.

She recently told E! News she's wants a career like Sasha Gray, an adult film star who's recently been finding a load of mainstream success.

On that note, we give you five porn stars who could also prove to be inspirations for the 18-year-old celebrity spawn. Hey, ya never know, but she could end up working alongside the likes of Johnny Depp, Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh and hitmaker Kid Rock, among others…

Sasha Gray: The star of such adult fare as Sasha Grey's Anatomy, House of Sex & Domination and Teenage Whores, Gray began her career just four years ago at age 18. Not only is she a regular on the current season of Entourage, but two years ago, she starred in Academy Award-winning director Steven Soderbergh's indie flick, The Girlfriend Experience. She also reportedly studied theater acting from age 12 to 18.

Riley Steele: After making her porn debut two years ago in Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge, she'll soon be seen starring in the Weinstein Company's upcoming summer thriller Piranha 3D opposite Elisabeth Shue and Jerry O'Connell. And, as we were the first to tell you, one scene shows her making out with Gossip Girl star Jessica Szohr.

Jenna Jameson: Known as the "Queen of Porn," Jameson has gone from appearing in XXX-ers like Up and Cummers 10 and 11 to becoming a brand herself with various non-porny products sold at high-end retailers like Colette and Saks Fifth Avenue. She's voiced an animated version of herself in Family Guy and has appeared in various video games, including Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4. Not only has she debated at Oxford, but her 2004 memoir, How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale spent six weeks on The New York Times Best Seller List.

Traci Lords: Arguably the porn star to have the most mainstream success, Lords has also lashed out against her adult film career, insisting she was coerced into it from a very early age. She reportedly appeared in 100 films before she was even 18 years old. Even so, her post-porn career includes appearances in Gilmore Girls, Will & Grace, Melrose Place, the Francis Ford Coppola produced sci-fi series First Wave and most famously playing Wanda Woodward opposite Johnny Depp in director John Waters' Cry-Baby.

Ron Jeremy: Known for his unusually large manhood, Jeremy is one of the few male porn stars who have had some mainstream success. While he's listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as "Most Appearances in Adult Films" for the 2,000 films he's performed, he worked as a consultant on 91/2 Weeks and Boogie Knights. He's appeared on television shows like Family Guy and  Nash Bridges and went on a date with Kathy Griffin during the third season of My Life on the D-List. He was seen on the big screen in Ghostbusters, The Rules of Attraction and plenty of low-budget indies like One-Eyed Monster, about a killer alien that takes over his signature body part. He's also popped up in music videos by Kid Rock, Guns N' Roses, Everclear, Moby and Sublime. Like, Jameson, Jeremy spoke at Oxford in 2005. (eonline.com)

Rihanna Shows Off "Rebelle Fleur" Tattoo


Gearing up for another big performance, Rihanna was spotted making a grand exit from her New York City hotel on Wednesday (August 11).

The "Love the Way You Lie" singer strolled past fans and photogs out to an awaiting ride, revealing her new tattoo on her neck reading "Rebelle Fleur".

As for the day's agenda, Rihanna will be taking the stage at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT later this evening for one of her "Last Girl On Earth" tour shows.

From there, it's back to the Big Apple, as RiRi and opening acts Ke$ha and Travie McCoy will be taking their hit concert to Madison Square Garden on Thursday, August 12th. (Hollywood Gossip)

Tom Sturridge: "On The Road" with Kristen Stewart


Bringing confirmation to recent rumors, Kristen Stewart has a new "On the Road" co-star in actor Tom Sturridge.

According to Gossip Cop, the English actor - who happens to be good pals with Robert Pattinson - has indeed been cast in the Jack Kerouac adapted project.

Talk of Tom being in the film kicked off after Miss Stewart was spotted spending time with him up in Montreal at the beginning of the week, with his rep having since told Gossip Cop, “He is filming in Canada at the moment for On The Road."

Directed by Walter Salles, "On the Road" is about "a young man who sets out to travel the roads and railways of America."  (Hollywood Gossip)

Fashion Praises and Friendly Advice: Rockstars

Slacker rocker Scott Pilgrim about to take over the world in the movie Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. One of the ways rock stars take over is by rocking wild fashions onstage. Think bizarre headgear, racy lingerie, sequins galore, and sky-high platforms. 

But that doesn’t mean they always pull their crazy stage gear off. Let’s see who overwhelms, who underwhelms and who just…whelms in the arena.

Alanis Morissette Is Pregnant!


In the Us Weekly that's sitting on stands directly next to your dual-colored gummi worms, Alanis Morisette, 36, announced in the "25 Things You Don't Know About Me" section that she is pregnant. Bring on the "irony, but hey...that's not really irony!" jokes!

Morisette married rapper Souleye, 30, in May at their house in Los Angeles, and they're "very excited to embark on this journey with each other." That's pretty much all the news that's been released on this item, which is good because that means they won't be investing in any one of the baby apps for iPhones...like the one called "Baby Monitor," which if you place an iPhone to your belly and it detects noise, it places a phone call to a number you programmed and the person on the other line can listen and try to figure out if the baby is switching positions or is just bored out of his little, still-undeveloped but very promising mind.

Nah, they'll probably play it old school and hash out her rendition of "My Humps." She's gotta practice lullabies, anyway. And if she doesn't want the kid to get to 8th grade English and have a completely distorted understanding of irony, she'll stay away from that song and use "You Oughta Know" in its place.  (Source: Us Magazine)
