Now all we need is a few close-ups of Prince William’s bald spot and we can call it a day, because French gossip rag Closer has run a bunch of topless shots of Kate Middleton taken on the terrace of a private guest house during a vacation to Provence with Willz last week. (Click through for the NSFW shots, featuring William slathering lotion on a nude Kate.)
The photographer who shot them tried to sell them in England, but the press there tends to stay on the royals’ good side. A “saddened” Kate and William learned of the privacy breach at breakfast yesterday, shortly after which they made an appearance at Assyakirin Mosque in Malaysia, removing their shoes and Kate donning a traditional head-covering (see pic). The two are now considering their legal options—suing for invasion of privacy and taking out an injunction against the magazine. If the royal couple follows through, this would mark the first time in history that the palace has ever sued the press, which is kind of insane, when you think about it.
So, yeah, she got crept on. While with her husband. In private. By someone lurking in the shrubbery with a camera. Choice. [Radar Online, Daily Mail]
Umm, Lady Gaga celebrated the launch of her new fragrance, “Fame,” at the Guggenheim by inviting close friends like Paris Hilton and Marc Jacobs watch her nap inside an “an egg-claw installation.” Guests were asked to poke the sleeping Gaga through a hole in the eggclaw until she emerged at 9:45 and sat down to get a very public tattoo of a cherub on the bare skin on the back of her head, which she shaved last week in honor of Terry Richardson’s mom.

To me, that sounds like it can directly translate as “Liam, pick up your socks, and also attention me more!! Attention me!” But after an outpouring of concerned fans, Cyrus added:
Miley was also making out with a girl in New York at the end of August, and that source says she’s been “experimenting with women” before marrying Hemsworth, so IDK IDK IDK. [Celeb Slam]
