Jessica Simpson Philanthropy or Strategery? So Jessica Simpson wrote on her site yesterday that she’s heading to Kuwait to perform for the troops.

Elle Macpherson Genetic Freak Elle Macpherson turns 45 in a month. 45!!! Most models are genetic freaks. Elle’s freaky sh*t is freakier than most. Bitch bakes herself in the sun half the year, has already had two kids, parties non stop with the Euro jetset, and still looks like this. Hate. Love. By Lainey • Feb 27, 2008 11:59 pm
Mariah Carey Mimi Looks Tiny Mimi is heavily promoting her new album and wants you to touch her new skinny body. Literally. She looks good, non? Do you like her new single?

Scarlett Johansson Ziggy Stardust Stamp of Approval The news of Scarlett Johansson’s musical aspirations was initially met with much scorn. Another actress trying to be a singer…not exactly the best track record.

Marion Cotillard If George Had Taste… If George Clooney had any taste, he’d be all over my Marion. As it happens, George Clooney prefers his girls deep on the cheap and tawdry side. And although he’s trying to whitewash her in the mainstream media with cute little details about their Oscar night to People By Lainey • Feb 27, 2008 04:25 am
Justin Timberlake Pipsqueak or Owen? There was a lame report that surfaced at the weekend – some bullsh*t about Kate Hudson and Justin Timberlake secretly dating for a year but she didn’t want to go public because she feared embarrassment and heartache a la Cameron Diaz. I mean really… Don’t they know Kate? By Lainey • Feb 27, 2008 03:14 am
Ben Affleck No Ben at the Oscars Have received emails from many of you re: Ben Affleck’s absence at the Oscars but there really is nothing smutty to report.

No Looking, No Talking, No Breathing Diva antics are rather pedestrian these days so it takes a super bitch and her ass attitude to really push the envelope. A photo shoot with a major artist. Much is riding on her new project. Everyone is busting their balls to make her look good. But it’s hard By Lainey • Feb 26, 2008 04:33 am

Penelope Cruz Best Oscar Man: Javier Bardem He is a giant of a man. So tall, so sexy, so strong, so… MAN. We watched him stalking the carpet, full of nervous energy but chill at the same time.

Marion Cotillard Best Oscar Dress: Marion Cotillard There was no dress last night as exquisite as hers. Not a dress for everyone, but for a French girl, with inimitable French style, wearing French couture, and charming everyone in the auditorium, it was perfect. Jack Nicholson apparently couldn’t get enough of her. At one point he was By Lainey • Feb 26, 2008 02:17 am
