Last night Pamela Anderson tore off her clothes, yet again. But this time it was for a good cause (note that Playboy is not considered a good cause...at least by most). Anderson undressed in the window of Stella McCartney's Mayfair boutique to protest the use of animal fur in the fashion industry. The busty blonde held up a banner proclaiming "I'd rather bare skin than wear skin" - surprisingly clever. She then went on to bash other famous celebrities, including Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce Knowles, for their use of fur and the example that sets to their fans.

Star Jones Says So Long to the View
Yesterday Star Jones announced on live television that she will not be returning next season as one of the hosts of The View. Some bitterness was evident, and she later said that she felt like she was fired, as The View chose not to renew her contract. This was especially tough for Jones as The View just signed Rosie O'Donnell, with whom she has had rather public fights, to join the show. Leave it to Barbara Walters to step in and clear things up - ABC Media told Jones several months ago that they would not be renewing her contract. This news was supposed to be a secret until Thursday, which explains why Barbara Walters may have seemed so surprised at the announcement yesterday. Jones was given these months to secure another job, some extra time that she has apparently not taken advantage of! Well, so long and good riddance to you. Pack your bags and make way for Rosie!
Britney Spears Naked!
Only hours after Ashlee Simpson declined Playboy's offer to pose nude and finally show up her sister, Britney Spears has appeared on the cover of Bazaar Magazine completely naked, well....except for her necklace. But I guess it was done in a fairly tasteful way, so I do have to commend her. She is staying in the spotlight even with lots of leftover baby weight and a rediculous new hairstyle. Although even I have to admit that she looks pretty good here.
Ashlee Simpson Courted by Playboy
Ashlee Simpson was reported asked to pose for the famous magazine, Playboy. Her publicist, Rob Shuter, confirmed reports yesterday that she was indeed offered $4 million to pose nude but she has declined. That is quite an offer, but I guess when you are already fairly rich you can get by without the extra money. I must say that I am impressed with Ashlee's decision and am now a bigger fan than ever. Ashlee is now on tour in promoting her most recent album I Am Me. Some critics say she should have posed as a way to separate herself from her sister, the pretty one in the family. I guess she doesn't care that much - or at least that is how she wants it to look in the media.
Axl Rose Arrested
Rock singer Axl Rose was released from jail yesterday after paying a $5,500 fine. Rose was in jail for having bitten a security guard on the leg. Strange! I wish I could explain the situation that would lead to Rose biting someone, or offer any sort of explanation, but that seems to be it! For no good reason, Axl Rose bit someone on the leg. Missing being in the spotlight? Perhaps he is infected with rabies? Who knows?
Baby Photos Missing from Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
Pictures that were stored on a digital memory card were stolen from Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. The pictures were taken at their personal (read Private) baby shower of their newborn baby Shiloh. Their lawyer has already issued a very firm statement threatening legal action to anyone who publishes or distributes the photos. Although I find it strange that if a memory card goes missing in my house, it is assumed that someone (most likely me) has misplaced it. But if you are famous, then someone has stolen it. If I were famous, then I could report that my wallet, keys, and watch were all stolen, even though I will probably find them underneath the couch cusions later today!
Lohan says fling with Harry Judd never happened
Rocker Harry Judd recently said that he and popstar Lindsay Lohan had a recent fling. While shooting the movie "Just My Luck", Lohan was said to have been flirting with his whole band, McFly, before they all went out for drinks one night. Judd says that he stayed the night with Lohan and left at 8 am the next day. I guess our imagination can fill in the hours in between.
But Lohan's rep has strongly denied that this fling ever happened, and is accusing Judd of creating this story to get some extra publicity as their new album is released. Whether anything happened or not, Lohan's rep does raise a good point - this is awfully conveneint timing for Judd to get some extra airtime on TV.
Paris Hilton - Homewrecker
Not too long ago, Paris Hilton was spotted partying it up in Montreal with hockey star Jose Theodore. At this point, those two hanging is nothing new. What comes as shocking gossip is the recent reports that his time with Paris Hilton has led to the end of the relationship with his girlfriend of 8 years and the mother of his son. This is pretty sad news for Theodore, as there is no confirmation of any inappropriate behavior. But I have to hand it to Paris Hilton who seems to have a natural talent at these types of things. If this was the first report like this involving her maybe I would be a little nicer, but enough is enough!
Jessica Biel Keeping Fit
I am all for celebrities working out in order to maintain their fitness. I understand that for many celebrities, their physical appearance is a big part of their career so maintaining their body is important, both for health reasons and professional reasons. I also encourage for ladies like Jessica Biel, who have great curves that all would miss if she stopped working out.
But c'mon. Rich celebrities, who regularly spend hundreds of dollars to have the latest hairstyles, should be able to afford to go to a real gym. This public working out is just unecessary. I think Jessica Biel should spend some of her cash joining a real gym, or get some dumbells for your own house, but don't do it in the middle of the street!
Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan - Cat Fight?
After years of amicable friendship, things seem to be turning sour for Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. Last Friday night at a private concert for Prince, the two were reported to have had what has been described as a "Huge Fight". And to make it all even juicier, this huge fight was very, very public at an event filled with other famous celebrities, including Jay-Z, Beyonce, and Diddy, who were all to eager to share the celebrity gossip.
Rumor has it that Lohan has been hanging out with Hilton's ex, which is what led to the whole fight. After the tussle, both stars left the show and have been reported to have bumped into each other again at another hot spot in town, although this report has yet to be confirmed. Either way, what a juicy night of celebrity shame for the rest of us to enjoy. But with all of the fighting and screaming, at least they managed not to mess up their hairstyles for the cameras!
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Tie the Knot
After months of planning, and weeks of speculation by the media, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are married. The wedding was a candlelit cemeromy taking place at Sydney's Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel after sundown. In attendance at the big event included Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, and Rupert Murdoch. Nicole's beautiful dress was made by Balenciaga and was amazingly elegant.
According to various guests, the ceremony was deeply touching and passionate, and I don't think that any would would disagree that Kidman looked absolutely stunning, between her hairstyle, dress, and glowing smile.
Aaron Spelling, Dead at Age 83
Aaron Spelling has had an unprecendented career in the television business, producing over 200 television shows. Some of his biggest hits include Starsky and Hutch, Charlie's Angels, Beverly Hills 90210, and Melrose Place. Aaron Spelling will be deeply missed by his family and his legions of fans.
Britney Not the Only One with Black Hair - Paris Hilton Follows Suit
And now that Britney Spears has been around town sporting her new hair color, we have a better picture to show off her new look.
Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz Still Bouncing Along
After supposed rumors that they were breaking up, JT and Cameron Diaz have been seen all over town living it up - very clearly doing so couple. A source, that is said to be close to the couple, was reported saying "The couple are in fact very much together, as he prepares for the release of his album." The source continued to explain the wild accusations of the breakup as follows: "Of course, made-up sources have had them breaking up, getting married and having a baby ever since they began dating over three years ago."
On Sept. 12, Timberlake is set to release a new album Future Sex/Love Sounds.
Britney Spears Tries a New Look
Prenup in the Cards for Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban
Soon to be newlyweds Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have agreed to sign a prenuptual agreement. If the marriage doesn't last, then Urban is entitled to $600,000 for every year that their marriage was successful. Sounds like a lot of money? It may not be so for Ms. Kidman who is worth somewhere in the vacinity of $150 million. Even still, I would be glad to marry Nicole Kidman for far less than that! If you ask me, Keith is one lucky guy! It is also being reported that the prenup has a clauses in case Urban takes up drug use, a problem he was had but has since overcome.
As for the upcoming wedding, the date and place are still not official but ther are rumors a-plenty! A number of other famous celebrities, including Renee Zellweger and Kenney Chesney, have been seen 'traveling' around Sydney. I guess those of us that are not invited will have to trust that the press will crash their wedding in order to give their fans the pictures that we deserve!
Star Sued by Reese Witherspoon
After Reese Witherspoon publicly announced that she was not pregnant just a few days ago, Reese has decided to take it one step further and sure the Star, who falsely reported her pregnancy in the first place.
To me, this seems a little excessive. I have been accused of a number of things in my time (although no one has ever said that I was pregnant) and I never even thought suing to be an option. Tell the public the truth - fine. Maybe even bash the reporter or paper that made the false story - also fine. But to sue them is a little extreme, at least in my opinion.
Nicole Kidman - the Good Samaritan
Nicole Kidman, arguably the best thing to ever come from the land down under, is taking a break from the always demanding life of a superstar to spend some time visiting sick children in the hospital. This is an even more impressive use of her time considering that her and her sweetheart, Keith Urban, are tying the knot this weekend.
The Sydney Children's Hospital Foundation was thrilled by Kidman's visit, and their chief executive , Elizabeth Crundall, commented "To actually take the time out from her her own wedding for a couple of hours was stunning, extraordinary and wonderful."
This is not Nicole Kidman's first time crossing over into the wonderful charity world. She has reportedly asked guests to donate money to charity instead of give her a wedding gift - an amazing gesture, albeit one that is much easier to make when you are a movie star. Nonetheless, it wouldn't hurt anyone if there were more celebrities trying to make a difference like Nicole.
Nicole made the trip to the hospital with her mother and two adopted children, who were in town on a publicity tour with her ex-husband, Tom Cruise.
New Baby on the Way for Heidi Klum and Seal
Seal and Heidi have been married for a little over a year. There were friends for a while before the sparks started flying in 2004, when she was pregnant with Leni. Before the baby arrives, Klum will stay focused on the third season of Project Runaway.
