  • Bend It Like Madonna

    Madonna and her daughter Lourdes lend their support at the Bent on Learning benefit in NYC. - Richie Buxo/Splash NewsMadonna proudly walked the red carpet with her 13-year-old daughter Lourdes Leon last night at the 2nd Annual Bent on Learning benefit in New York. While the Queen of Pop was demure in a stylish trench, fishnets, and conservative pumps, her teenage daughter was showing off her unique sense of style in a metallic embellished dress, cropped leather jacket, ripped tights and punk Dr. Martens boots.

    Madge's former BFF, Gwyneth Paltrow, in a Victoria Beckham metallic mini dress and killer heels, was also on hand at the charity event to help raise funds to provide yoga classes for underprivileged kids in New York City. The "Iron Man 2" star told Style.com at the event that her children, Apple and Moses, do "kid yoga," and proudly commented, "My daughter does handstands. She's six."

  • Alexa Ray Joel’s New Nose

    Alexa Ray Joel has a whole new look. The daughter of musician Billy Joel and former supermodel Christie Brinkley revealed Wednesday that she had a nose job earlier this month. "I was thinking about getting this for years," Joel shared with People magazine.

    The spitting image of her musician dad (and not her model mom,) Joel says she's happy with the subtle tweak to her features, admitting to People, "I was thinking about getting this for years." Her nose, she added, "always bothered me a little bit. I was self-conscious of pictures taken from the side. To some people that's vain, but at the end of the day, we all want to feel pretty."

    Just last December, a distraught Joel overdosed on Traumeel, a homeopathic medication, following a breakup with her boyfriend. Since her brief hospitalization, it looks like the 24-year-old singer has given her life an overhaul. A well as the rhinoplasty, Joel commenced working on her first album, and filmed a TV commercial for Prell shampoo.

  • Ashlee and Pete’s Hawaiian Vacay

    Pete, Ashlee, and Bronx at Maui airport, Hawaii. - 808Tropix/Splash News  Just days after Ashlee Simpson was spotted soaking up the sun in her frilly polka dot bikini while on a family vacation in Hawaii, the star was snapped at the Maui airport, heading back to reality (aka Los Angeles) with 1-year-old Bronx Mowgli and hubby Pete Wentz in tow.

    As they made their way through the airport, Ashlee was rockin' a '70s vibe with her high-waisted bell-bottom jeans. I hate to say it, but this is what Ash's sister Jess wishes she had looked like when she famously donned those "mom jeans" back in 2009.

    The 25-year-old ex-"Melrose Place" star and her main squeeze looked happy and relaxed after their week-long getaway. After twittering on Saturday, "I'm off the grid right now. Feels good" -- oh, the irony -- Pete followed up with some Hawaiian-inspired words of wisdom: "Apply a small amount of coconut smelling topical paradise and your soul will feel a bit better."

    Ah Pete, wouldn't it be lovely if we could all take luxury vacations like you!

  • Gwen Stefani’s Swing Kids

    Gwen Stefani looked happy and relaxed when spotted at every Hollywood mom's favorite haunt -- Coldwater Canyon Park in Beverly Hills -- on Tuesday. The No Doubt singer was wearing barely a trace of makeup as she hit the play equipment with her boys Kingston, almost 4, and Zuma, 18 months.

    Gwen seems to be taking Courtney Love's latest rant in stride. The Hole singer hit the headlines yet again after claiming in an interview on "The Howard Stern Show" Monday that way back when, she had an eight-month affair with Gwen's husband Gavin Rossdale at the same time he was involved with Gwen. Love told Stern she had a "vision of marrying Gavin Rossdale one time ... We were like, 'Let's go spend our rock star money!'"

    Courtney went on to say that "everyone gave me so much s--- because Gavin sounded like a lot like Kurt...." referring to her late husband, Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain, and continued to blab, "But man, he was such an Adonis in his day! He got good in bed ... something happened.

  • Fashion Faceoff: Katherine vs. Brooke

    Oh ladies, you'll be green with envy over this one! Katherine Heigl and Brooke Shields both hit the red carpet wearing Indian designer Naeem Khan's emerald green gown from his Resort 2010 collection. What's a girl to do? That's right ... Game on!

    First off, we have Ms. Heigl, who wore the sequined number to the London premiere of her romantic comedy "The Ugly Truth" back in August 2009. The 31-year-old was anything but ugly in the one-shoulder number, which she belted with a narrow ribbon to show off her hourglass curves. The former "Grey's Anatomy" doc accessorized with simple gray strappy heels and a loose updo.

    Brooke Shields donned the very same gown last Thursday to the 45th Annual National Magazine Awards in New York. The 44-year-old star opted for long, loose waves, and coordinated her clutch, heels, and jewels perfectly.

    The striking emerald hue is a bold choice, and both Heigl and Shields pull off the color with no problem at all. I like that Katherine has added definition

  • Becks and Brady’s Boy Time

    Surely there must have been some kind of hotness explosion in the universe when two of the sexiest guys in sports met up for the annual UCLA spring football game at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, on Saturday!

    Soccer star David Beckham brought his three boys, Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, 7, and Cruz, 5, to the event, where they met up with New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and his 2-year-old son John Edward Thomas Moynahan. Brady's younger son, baby Benjamin, was probably having a play date at home with his supermodel mom Gisele Bundchen.

    While Becks, who is still recovering from an Achilles heel injury, stayed on the sidelines, Brady threw the football around with Cruz, who seems to be a big fan of his new country's national sport. The little cutie shed a few tears after getting smacked in the face with a ball, but was quickly back in the game after receiving a hug from his dad.

  • The Secret Life of Lady Gaga

    In the May issue of Esquire, one of Lady Gaga's old friends, DJ Brendan Sullivan, gives the world an inside look at how the pop star achieved her meteoric rise to fame. According to Sullivan, Gaga didn't ask anyone to like her. She told them to. And he has plenty more to say.

    Sullivan reveals that Lady Gaga was a struggling artist who worked as a go-go dancer in New York, loved Bruce Springsteen, designed her own costumes, and had a plan for world domination even before she became a tabloid favorite.

    Read on to hear more of Sullivan's observations and insights into the character that is Lady Gaga.

    "Gaga was always famous. Before she ever released a record, you could walk into a club or a party with her and skip the line. We'd be browsing in a bookshop and everyone's eyes would wander above the paperback in their hands. She is barely five feet tall and she speaks in a tiny voice, but she knew how to get attention."

  • Total ‘Eclipse’

    Twi-hards all over the world were furiously logging on to Oprah.com Friday to check out the premiere of the brand new "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" trailer. In the preview, which I'm sure fans will spend the entire weekend dissecting frame by frame, Edward (Robert Pattinson), Bella (Kristen Stewart), and Jacob (Taylor Lautner) are forced to put aside their differences to take down murderous vampire Victoria (Bryce Dallas Howard).

    Dakota Fanning, who plays evil Volturi vamp Jane in the film, was on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" (via Skype) to introduce the trailer, and the 16-year-old admitted that she is quite the fan of the "Twilight" saga. "I think in five years from now, to say I was a part of this phenomenon will be really great," she said, adding, "I was just so honored that they wanted me to be a part of it."

    Famous for her preternaturally precocious roles in "Man on Fire" and "I Am Sam", Fanning relished the chance to play against type. "Jane is just such a great character to play,"

  • Kimora’s on Kenzo Time

    Kimora and baby Kenzo at JFK airport. - Splash NewsKimora Lee Simmons was spotted at JFK airport Friday with her adorable son Kenzo Lee. The little cutie, who turns one on May 30, sported a trendy dinosaur-print hoodie, while his former model mom accessorized with a gold Louis Vuitton bag.

    Kimora, whose Style Network show "Life in the Fab Lane" depicts the daily life of the Baby Phat CEO and her family, looked like she was enjoying her one-on-one Kenzo time.

    Simmons recently told omg!, "It's very exciting to have a boy -- he's very rough and playful. He stands without holding on, he's trying to walk, he cruises around, and that's very early." She also admitted that her son is not quite the multi-tasker his mother is just yet. "He's quiet and easygoing, so I think that's more like Djimon," she said with a laugh.

    With two girls, Ming Lee and Aoki Lee, by her first husband, music mogul Richard Simmons, and a new baby with current husband Djimon Hounsou, Kimora definitely has her hands full, but she cheekily admitted that she wouldn't

    Nicole Richie sports a stylish ensemble on her way to traffic school in LA. - Splash NewsNicole Richie may have turned over a new leaf when it comes to her past hard-partying lifestyle, but the fashionable mom still has the occasional scrape with the law to deal with!
