She looks like a 30-year-old and has a youthful personality to go with it. I love her and nothing else matters." Which sounds like they are not broken up. [PopDirt]

  • In even more wedding news, Bruce Willis is set to marry model Emma Heming today. Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, and Madonna are all expected to attend the ceremony. [USWeekly]
  • Mischa Barton, however, is not a fan of marriage: "I'm not a huge fan of marriage. It puts too much pressure on the relationship. People try harder until they're married and then you see a lot of relationships fall apart because it's the last step. There's nothing left," Barton says, "Whoever is going to be the father of my children I'll probably inevitably marry - but that's not on the cards any time soon."[ShowbizSpy]
  • Taylor Swift has a similar view on things: "I actually do not have a boyfriend. I'm completely single," Swift says, "I think meeting someone in that way is a worry for anyone in my position. You meet someone and you can't help but be worried that they just want to date the person they see on TV.
    They are not really bothered about the real person. I think that's a curse for any relationship. But I'm not worried. It's not my big goal in life to get hitched and have a family. If I find someone really awesome I will think about it then." [ShowbizSpy]
  • Kate Moss threw a fit when she realized she had to wait in line for the bathroom at a club. "She barged into the ladies and when she realised there were no cubicles free she starting kicking one of the doors, shouting: ‘Hurry up or I'll kick the f***ing door down,'" says a source.

  • Madonna's nanny attempted to quit, but Madonna decided to fire her before her notice was up: "The rumor is that Madonna was furious that Angela was leaving and dismissed her before she had the chance to complete her full notice," says a source, "All Madonna's employees work incredibly long hours, so it's no surprise that Angela had had enough. If you work for Madonna you are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There's no such thing as a weekend." [ShowbizSpy]
  • Michael Jackson is thinking of adopting another child. [DailyExpress]
  • Robert Pattinson is looking for a soul mate, but not anytime soon: "I guess it would be quite scary to find a soul mate when you're young because you're probably going to mess it up," Pattinson says, "I remember there was a girl I was totally obsessed with for about 10 years, I never ever spoke to her. I think that's the best type of love. Then when I finally told her she was like, 'You've never spoken to me in my whole life. You've only spoken to me about three times and never said anything nice'."[ShowbizSpy]
  • Pete Doherty, who prefers to be called "Peter," still can't talk much about his breakup with Kate Moss: "I really shouldn't talk about it," Doherty says, "Because really and truly, I miss her. And I'd like to speak to her. But the first part of speaking to her probably would be just not to talk about her. And that's one thing I've got to learn. But I need to talk to people so badly about it, because it's something that's so confusing for me still. But I can't. Because the only person really I can talk to would be her." [Guardian]
  • Anne Hathaway is reportedly in talks to play Judy Garland in an upcoming biopic. [TheInsider]
  • "As a feminist (you know, one of those people Lady GaGa thinks are so angry), I shouldn't watch Rock of Love. But as a fallible human being who craves amazing entertainment, I can't not watch it."- Diablo Cody [EW]

<![CDATA[Beauty And The Beat: Ten Amazing Years, Less Than Amazing Clothes At Sephora]]> Can you believe our French beauty behemoth is already ten? Actually, yeah; it's hard to believe Sephora wasn't always around, letting the shameless amongst us doll up before events, gratis. I'm guessing most of the guests at last night's bday bash at NYC's Angel Orensanz Foundation — LiLo, Ashanti, Nicky Hilton, Natasha Bedingfield, and Charlotte Ronson, to name a few — can afford their own Stila. But money, as we all know, doesn't buy taste, and the delicious truth of this maxim is borne out, post perfumed jump.















The Good:
Shoshanna Gruss wears clear colors beautifully. I also really like how well her designs accommodate breasts.
I was seriously conflicted about the constellations on Lydia Hearst's breasts (whoa, sorry, I'm like Russ Meyer over here today), but overall, she looks lovely.
Loud, yes. But Ashanti's young and I think this is fun. Plus, the belt breaks it up and the shape's terrific.
Oh, gang, I wish there were a better shot of Natasha Bedingfield's outfit. There were enough partial views and shots with bits of the bodice in them that by careful deconstructive work I was able to determine that her dress is, in fact, very cute.

The Bad
Olivia Palermo: go to jail, go directly to jail. Your dress is covered in spangles, and topped with a lace-trimmed vest.
Full disclosure: I own more than one Charlotte Ronson garment. She looks absurd. Also, like an American Apparel mannequin. (And yes, I realize that's a redundancy.)
Can I express to you my boredom with the shrink-wrapped strapless minidress? Sure, Julie Henderson has the figure for it. But it's profoundly uninteresting without being classic. (Can you tell I'm just trying to avoid using the "I'm over it" construction? So arbitrary and dismissive, it is.)
Nicky Hilton might have gotten a pass on this Missoni-esque number if she hadn't gone and added an equally busy python platform.
I agree, Carmen Kass doesn't look terrible; she's probably incapable of it. But the more I look at this outfit, the more convinced I become that it involved a striking disharmony of proportion and approximately five busy details too many.
Can we put Dina Lohan in here on the basis of hair? My 8 Ball says it is decidedly so.


The Ugly:
I feel a little bad putting inker Kat Von D here, since this is basically just how she dresses. The fact that she wouldn't give a fuck is a palliative.

<![CDATA[Low Notes At Songwriters Hall Of Fame]]> Look, what did you want me to do, kids? Criticize the children at the Kit Kitteridge: An American Girl premiere? (Abby Breslin looked awesome, by the way.) Run, like, twenty pix of Will Smith at some international Hancock opening? No. For your sins, you get the 39th Annual Songwriters Hall of Fame Inductees at Manhattan's Marriott Marquis. Know that in today's judging I "went strange" as we say in my family (generally the prelude to being thrown "in the bin." Yes.) Choices may seem idiosyncratic, even baffling. I have done my utmost to justify these decisions, but, as ever, invite you to take it up with me. Loretta Lynn, John Legend, Natasha Bedingfield, Joan Jett and more in The Good, The Bad and, of course, The Ugly, after the jump.




The Good:
Loretta Lynn is, obviously, a law unto herself and this is how we like to see her: Regal, adorable, with just a hint of underlying steel.

Songwriter Madi Diaz has a great dress, cute date.

I'm no Strokes apologist, and I can't say I've ever given guitarist Albert Hammond, Jr. much thought beyond thinking that if you were going to do lead vocals in one song, "Last Nite" was a good one to have chosen. But he looks very dapper here. And, more to the point, warms the heart supporting his father, songwriter Albert Hammond, Sr.

Singer Lee Ann Womack looks crisp, extremely excited in white.

John Legend doing John Legend, convincingly.

The Bad:

Now, you could certainly mount the "Loretta Lynn" defense here: that Joan Jett is a law unto herself, not to be held to normal standards. I took this into account, though, and still thought she looked kinda creepy last night.

I, too, would probably use my hair as an impromptu tucker (that's the 19th c term for a little bodice cover-up) were I revealing the amount of cleavage of Johnny Rzeznik's date.

I thought long and hard about this one, because Natasha Bedingfield's getup is certainly not terrible, even leaving aside my expressed aversion for the color combination of purple and red, her unfortunate stance. Ultimately what damned her was the general disharmony of accessories, and a certain "offness" of proportion - the skirt was just slightly too long for that boat neck. (As a short person, I am obsessive about hemming. It can make or break, people! Half an inch!)

The Ugly:

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you… The band Rouge.

<![CDATA[Nicole Richie & Family Lead The Way At The ASCAP Awards]]> Last night at the Kodak Theater, Lionel Richie was presented with a lifetime achievement award by ASCAP, the organization that collects public-performance royalties for its member songwriters and copyright owners. Lionel looked smashing in his tux, and daughters Nicole and Sophia (pictured) were also in very cute, appropriate dresses. But, as with any music industry event, there was some fug on display. Justin Timberlake, Keri Hilson, Fergie, Melanie Brown, Natasha Bedingfield, Sara Bareilles and more appear in the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, after the jump.





The Good:

GBUtimberlakemom041008.jpgJustin Timberlake and his mom ASCAP's Loretta Munoz complement each other and look ready for spring!

GBUkerihilson041008.jpgWow, that color makes Keri Hilson glow. She looks fresh, pretty and appropriate. Time to sing that song she did with Timbaland: "I like you just the way you are."

GBUkatypery041008.jpgKaty Perry's little strapless dress is adorable!

nicolerichiealone041008.jpgNicole Richie probably spent all night pulling this dress up, since it appears to be dangerously close to falling down. But she looks amazing. Brava!

The Bad:


GBUMELB041008.jpgAnimal print again, Scary Spice Melanie Brown?!?! Think outside the bun. Look to Keri Hilson for hints. Also, those boots are hideous.

natashabedingfield041008.jpgNatasha Bedingfield would like to welcome you to the Love Boat. She's sailing to waters where it is okay to accessorize like a drunk celebrity on Match Game.

sarabarielles041008.jpgSara Bareilles also needs to look at Keri Hilson and swap those scuffed boots for some pretty sandals. Maybe she's trying to keep it real, but she's got a freakin' radio hit. She can afford some pumps.

The Ugly:
GBUdabrat041008.jpgAwful hair, ugly T-shirt, terrible jeans: At least Da Brat is consistent.

fergie041008.jpgHey, Fergie Ferg, not sure exactly what is going on with the neckline and waistline of your dress, but something is off. I know this is shot at a weird angle that makes your head look big, and that's not your fault, but a dress with wide-set straps would be more flattering to your neck and shoulders.

<![CDATA[Grammy Awards Fashions Hit The High Notes]]> Finally: Another awards ceremony! At last night's Grammys, celebrities seemed eager to cuddle up to the warm and welcoming bosom of a red carpet, and for the most part, everyone cleaned up nicely. Hell, even Lisa Rinna looked good, forgoing her usual penchant for leopard print for sleek silver. Other big successes: Alicia Keys, who always looks sleek; Fergie, who kept things minimal and sunny; Natasha Bedingfield, who dazzled in royal purple; and Rihanna, who had the most exciting dress of the evening by far — short, snappy, dazzling. But of course, there were the losers, too, and we don't just mean the people who went home without statuettes. Carole King would have been better off in a tapestry than what she was wearing; Taylor Swift looked like she was headed to the prom; Cyndi Lauper looked like the Bride of Frankenstein, and we're not sure what the hell Kelis was thinking. Galleries of the Good, Bad, and Ugly of the Grammy Awards, after the jump.

<![CDATA[Old Navy's "New Look" Brought Out Outfits Both Good And Bad]]> Last night in New York, Old Navy had a big ol' party to celebrate the retailer's "new look," which is supposedly super fashion-forward. (Does this mean no more drawstring shorts?) A terrifingly-dressed Natasha Bedingfield headlined the event, and also in attendance were Ugly Betty's Becki Newton (above left), and Sophia Bush and Kristen Bell, both of whom looked great. See 'em all and more with the full good, bad, and ugly, after the jump.

The Good:
oldnavysophiabush.jpgSophia Bush looks va-va-va-voom!
oldnavyblakelively.jpgBlake Lively as she should be: Casual, fresh, and age-appropriate. Xoxo, Gossip Girl.
oldnavykristenbell.jpgOur little Veronica Mars is all grown up! Kristen Bell looks super sophisticated in this gray sheath.
oldnavyheatherette.jpgI know that Heatherette designers Trevor Raines and Richie Rich aren't traditional picks for "The Good" category, but you gotta admire the boys' consistency. They've been rockin this look for what, 20 years now?


The Bad:
oldnavyhaydenpanettiere.jpgHayden Panettiere looks totally uncomfortable and totally old in this ensemble. Loosen up, lady.
oldnavypaulagarces.jpgPaula Garces looks straight out of 1996. I don't have fond memories of 1996.
oldnavybethannyfrankel.jpgDoesn't Bethanny Frankel's blouse look like it could have been designed by Project Runway's Christian? Oh, those sleeves! That plaid! Ugh. Also, do not show your stomach on the red carpet, please.
oldnavylizlange.jpgWhy must maternity designer Liz Lange dress like Carol Brady?


The Ugly:
oldnavynatashabedingfield.jpgSeriously, what the fuck was Natasha Bedingfield thinking?
