Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt at 14th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards
Feb 1, 2008

Angelina Jolie and partner Brad Pitt walked the red carpet at the 14th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, The Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles, January 27 looking in love and happy.

Angelina looked gorgeous in a flowing strapless vintage Hermes gown with a long train tie-dyed in earthy colors. The sweetheart neckline dress was a welcome change from the blacks and greys that Jolie has safely stuck with during her recent red carpet appearances.

It wasn't an easy dress to carry off but we think she did it with aplomb despite subdued hair styling and makeup.

What the press was interested in knowing was if Jolie is pregnant but by the way she was attired there was no telling.

She wore a dress that comprehensively concealed her body form, giving the press no chance to speculate about a pregnancy, or perhaps baiting it to do so.

For anyone who chose not to make a connection between her dress and the pregnancy rumors there was the intimacy and public display of affection between Jolie and Pitt to contend with while they sat at their table during the awards.

Warm and snug mama to be Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba, 26, appeared as a guest on 'The Late Show with David Letterman', Monday, January 28, 2008 and opened up about her pregnancy.

She arrived at the Ed Sullivan Theater looking warm and snug in a stylish brown coat with black tabs on cuff, black shoulder epaulets and black edging on the pockets and the hem.

Under the coat she wore a dark brown hooded leather jacket with fur detail on the hood.

With a scarf wrapped around the neck and wearing brown gloves she rightly looked dressed to keep two people warm.

Her dark blue jeans with chocolate brown suede flat winter boots added to the style quotient. Her hair was neatly tied at the back.

During the show she changed into a bright red knee length spaghetti strap empire waist dress with black sheer stockings and black high heel pumps. She looked elegant with light makeup wearing just earrings for jewelry and with her hair left open.

Speaking with David Letterman on the show, Jessica Alba opened up about her pregnancy but remained coy when asked if she was having a boy or a girl.

"I'm not saying anything. I might know if it's a boy or a girl," she said.

The Sin City star also revealed what it was like in the early weeks of her pregnancy.

"It was hairy. All day sickness, it really wasn't fun. You're expanding in places you never knew existed, and you're like, 'what's going on here?'"

She arrived at the Good Morning America show wearing a camel round neck fleece coat styled with chic dolman sleeves cinched at the waist with a fabric belt over a blue collar satin dress and stylish beige pumps.

She then quickly changed to be at the Live with Regis and Kelly where she looked completely different wearing gray dress pants and a black crew neck sweater with white diamond pattern on it matched with brown strappy stilettos.

With her super glossy hair and black leather high heeled pumps she looked all set to wow the crew at the Ed Sullivan Theater.

On Good Morning America, when quizzed what her daughter Suri's first words were, Katie replied, "She said, Mama, then Dada, and then everything else. She's a great mimic."

Jessica Alba at Australia Week 2008 black tie gala

Jessica Alba disappointed us at the G'Day USA: Australia Week 2008 black tie gala at Waldorf Astoria hotel, New York City, Saturday, January 26. Wearing black is always safe but you can still go wrong Jessica managed to prove with a maternity variation that can be succinctly defined as silly.

Her floor length single shoulder black dress was bereft of form and feminity. It featured a chunky jeweled buckle at the shoulder strap, a bold variation that did nothing more than rob the dress of its residual elegance from its fabric and fall.

Alba wore a yellow gold bracelet on her right hand. Her hair was tied up at the nape in a loose chignon.

When you are as beautiful as Jessica Alba and pregnant to boot you can easily brush aside a sartorial misstep. The 26-year-old actress still managed to look radiant and confident.

The Australia Day Black Tie Gala, attended by 1,000 prominent Australian and American arts, philanthropic, government and business executives, marked the close of G'Day USA program for 2008.

The event commenced with a red carpet arrival, followed by a unique dinner experience incorporating fashion and three time winner of the Australian MTV Video Music Awards Best Male Performer Shannon Noll, alongside award winning Indigenous performer, Christine Anu and the Qantas Choir who flew from Australia to perform at the special event. The focus of the 2008 Gala was to profile the exceptional work undertaken by Australia’s Royal Flying Doctors Service.

The G'DAY USA Program is a short term Cultural Exchange which offers High School students and staff the opportunity to travel, as a group, to the USA during the school holidays.

Jan 29, 2008

Rihanna lived up to her recently acquired image of a young celebrity fashion icon walking the red carpet at the 9th NRJ Music Awards in Cannes, France, Saturday, January 26.

The Barbados singer won International Song of the Year for "Don't Stop The Music."

Rihanna, 19, stood out in a grey Grecian-inspired single shoulder flowing dress that grazed the floor. It accentuated her curves, ruched at the waist to her right side.

The dress had a gathered low waist at the back with a colorful striped long bow that emphasized the slight train and a knee high slit revealing Rihanna's well formed calves.

The songstress looked totally at ease and walked tall in her black high heeled basket-weave ankle-wrap strap sandals.

Her chic hair do, short and straight, revealed star tattoos on her neck and three piercing on her ears.

Britney bares her boobs changing clothes in a dance studio

Britney Spears managed to flash her boobs while changing her top in the middle of a practice dance routine at a dance studio in LA on Sunday, January 27.

Hollywood.tv video showing Britney briefly flashing her bosom as she dances with herself inside a privately-rented studio with only Sam Lutfi present.

Spears visited the privately-rented dance studio with manager Sam Lutfi who apparently was the only person other than Britney in the studio at the time of the wardrobe malfunction. Before it happened, Lutfi was seen filming the pop tart using a video camera.

Hollywood.tv videographers, however, managed to capture the 'Yet another Britney baring' through a crack in the door from outside the dance studio!

Meanwhile, Danny Haines, a former friend of Sam Lutfi has dished the dirt on him to Blender magazine, reports Pagesix.com

Haines is one of the three people who have had a restraining order served on Lutfi in the past.

Painting Lutfi as unsavory and controlling, Haines claims that when their friendship ended Lutfi was vicious - telling him to "just kill himself." He e-mailed photos of Haines in the buff to his family, friends and co-workers.

Referring to his mother Lutfi said he hoped "Satan devours her flesh and bones" and he looked forward to the day when he would "p - - - on her burial."

Neither Blender nor Page Six were able to track Lutfi down for comment.

Johnny Depp to step into Heath Ledger's last role?

Johnny Depp may step in for tragic Heath Ledger in what has turned out to be the late actor’s last film.

Oscar nominee Ledger was just six weeks from finishing fantasy movie The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus when he died while on a break.

According to a studio source, director Terry Gilliam now wants friend Johnny Depp to step into the role.

"There is a point in the film when Heath falls through a magic mirror," The Sun quoted the source, as saying.

“He could change into another character after that and that is where Johnny would come in.
“It’s a weird, fantasy, time-travel movie so Heath’s character could easily change appearance. It would be a poignant moment.

“Johnny’s not working at the moment so everyone is praying he will do it.”
