Anna Wintour: Empress Of The Ugly At Costume Institute Gala
One more time! (Promise.) Met. Costume. Institute. Gala. Superheroes. Sponsored by Vogue and Armani. Hosted by Julia Roberts and George Clooney. You've seen the Good. You've seen the Bad.

All of them, and others, after the jump. More »

Lindsay Lohan & Sam Ronson: Living Together?

- Britney may release her video diaries, which contain rants about her family and friends as well as intimate info about Justin Timberlake and Kevin Federline and details on her feud with Christina Aguilera. It's tough to admit this but they sound kind of awesome. [Mirror]
- Sure, the audience booed Heather Mills at the Miss USA pageant — but producers hated her too. [Page Six]
- Bill Cosby is releasing a rap album. Repeat: Bill Cosby is releasing a rap album. [USA Today]

And The $300 Million Defense Contract Goes To...The 22-Year-Old Abusive Boyfriend Who Never Had A Job!
Do you ever wonder, where do the weapons our Pentagon is buying to supply the Afghan counterinsurgency actually come from? Well, duh, China, but, let's start over. Meet Efraim Diveroli. He has some sort of $300 million Pentagon contract to supply ammunition to the government. He also has: never had a real job, a drinking problem, a woman with a restraining order against him, a beautiful headquarters in the heart of Miami Beach, a 25-year-old VP whose only certification in anything is that he is a licensed masseur, and wiretaps of him talking about bribing the Albanian defense department by sending him whores. And all of this makes sense because Efraim Diveroli is 22 YEARS OLD. Yeah, we talked about our allies in Pakistan and John McCain, Chelsea Clinton and that douchebag who asked her about Monica, polling data, where that Bosnia story really came from, Donald Trump, corporate profits and our hangovers — oh and don't miss the riveting discussion of our Facebook horoscopes and Diddy and Tupac— but shit gets really epic when Glamocracy's Megan and I get down to...which under-25 year old Israeli mob arms dealer we'd rather get down with!

Miss France Feels Heat; Miss USA The Next James Frey
Pageant contestants never cease to be reliable sources of diva debauchery/ inevitable redemption. The latest tale of beauty queens gone wild comes courtesy of Miss France, 22-year old Valerie Begue. Having just won her title three weeks ago, Begue is battling criticism following the release of the inevitable "sexy" photos making their way around the Internets. (One photo, oddly enough, features Begue "licking what appeared to be yogurt or evaporated milk." Shades of Miss New Jersey!) Perhaps she could use some advice from former Miss USA Tara Conner? Conner, who, in 2006, was caught doing lines and chugging 40's like it was nobody's business and given a "second chance" by Miss USA pageant-owner Trump, has just signed a lucrative book deal for a memoir on her time in rehab, she announced this morning.

How Ivanka Trump Once Inked A Real Estate Deal With An Ecstasy Kingpin And Other Crap She Is Too Good At "Branding" To Talk About
Ivanka Trump is profiled in today's New York Times Thursday Styles section, an event that happens to coincide with an Andre Leon Talley profile in next month's Vogue. What's the occasion? What's the new thing she's promoting? Is there a fragrance, a clothing line? A line of jewelry? Well, yeah and yeah and yeah and duh, but what she's really promoting, you see, is her own capacity for promoting. ("Clearly, Ms. Trump has inherited her father's prodigious flair for self-promotion.") But here's the twist. By making the centerpiece of her public identity the fact that she's so much more than just the real estate magnate's hot daughter, she perpetuates the long ago-punctured myth Donald is, in fact, a real estate magnate. Guys, the reason she won't let you "sit in" on her deal meetings and "declined to give numbers"on her real estate business is because she doesn't want to reveal that every deal the Trump Organization engages itself in is a glorified endorsement contract! Do you think they really give that much of a shit who builds their luxury condo buildings for them? Let's look at one of the deals Andre touts in his glowing profile, the Trump Tower Philadelphia.

As Babies Become "Luxury Goods", Birth Rates Increase
For the first time since the baby boom of the post WWII era, the United States has reached the rate of births needed for a generation to replace itself. The U.S. population, which just topped 300 million, is expected to hit 400 million by 2040 and, according to the National Center for Health Statistics, American women are having an average of 2.1 babies each. The biggest increase in baby-making was in the 20-24 year old age group, and experts say part of the babymania is due to economic prosperity. Stephanie Coontz, director of research and public education at the Council on Contemporary Families told USA Today: "We do know that birthrates ticked up quite a bit among the most affluent...Kids are luxury goods, and some of this uptick may be stay-at-home moms."More »

'Boys Don't Cry' Back In The Spotlight
- The man convicted of killing Brandon Teena has recanted part of his confession and is now claiming he was the lone murderer. (Teena's story was the inspiration behind the 1999 film Boys Don't Cry, for which Hilary Swank won the Best Actress Oscar.) One thing kinda irks us about this news story: CNN insists on using his birth name "Teena Brandon" even though he lived and died as Brandon Teena. [CNN]
- That Planned Parenthood in Aurora, IL that was at risk of never opening because of some silly regulation violations? Well, a judge has ruled that the clinic will remain closed. As PP said after the ruling, "We wouldn't be here if this was a foot-care clinic." [Feministing]

That Donald Trump! Such a gentleman — and what a way with words! Check out the Access Hollywood clip above for proof. First he said that Lindsay Lohan needed to get a new set of parents. Then he backpedaled, saying Dina Lohan "is really a terrific woman." Then he randomly lashes out at Rosie O'Donnell. Stay classy, Don!

Donald Trump Can Shove It
Having posted our occasional Hollywood casting-roundup yesterday evening (and it being the morning and all) our eyes glazed over when we spotted the word "Trump" in a headline in Daily Variety today. But thank god we took a closer look! It looks like Donald Trump was so inspired after saving onetime Miss USA Tara Conner from herself that he's now developing a reality show with Fox called "Lady Or A Tramp, "in which girls in love with the party life will be sent to a charm school." Over the course of the series, reports the trade paper, the young women will be "required to wear tweed skirts and pearl necklaces, and taught the finer points of skills like flower arranging and needlework"; in addition, Trump himself will probably make periodic appearances to "evaluate" the contestants' progress. We've been meaning to say this for a long time (and it's been said better by Rosie O'Donnell) but you know what? Fuck Donald Trump. More »

Oh, To Be Simultaneously Fancied By Zach Braff And Adam Levine!
- Adam Levine and Zach Braff are probably two of the most intriguing men of our age. One is the frontman for Maroon 5, which some record company executive once told us was basically our generation's heir to The Police, while the other gave us the not-at-all masturbatory Garden State, and a few weeks ago asked had his friend ask our friend, after palming her ass at a party, if she swallowed. We cannot imagine what it would be like to be Ivanka Trump at the precise moment at which both of these young bachelors — let's coin the phrase "emosogynists" here, why don't we? — were courting her. [Rush & Molloy]
- Brad (deer) at Cannes press conference (headlights): "Uh, I was just wafting in the words of...what's her name?" Yeah, uh, that would be Shiloh's mom. Also: "I look at my kids and realize they will inherit this world, and we wanna do everything we can throw our weight in and make it a little bit better." Well, apparently A Mighty Heart is a really uplifting movie. Read about how Angelina & Mariane are all besties in Glamour! [Extra]
- Like nineteen people, including Kitty Kelly and her dad, are writing books about Oprah. We are soon about to be so overwhelmed with books about Oprah we won't have time to read Oprah's book club! Or, come to think about it, our Arabic classes or the marathon or spiritual growth. Good thing we've made peace with the fact that obsessing over Oprah is a lot easier than actually trying to improve ourselves. [Rush & Molloy]
- We wouldn't really care about a porn star naming herself Katee Holmes, but this one claims to be a virgin, so, uh, we guess she needs publicity? [Page Six]

'Miss America' On Last Educated, Mystic Tanned Legs, But America's Pursuit Of Well-Rounded Ideal Persists
When the Miss America Pageant, ditched by Viacom owned CMT, finally goes the way of Elle Girl — online only (but so Web 2.0!) — some, like Nashville's Ralph Emery, may see it as a blow to that "little piece of Americana" that is the promotion of lofty goals (scholarship) alongside loftier ones (swimsuit-wearing!)
