  • Tara Reid and Other Divas Who’ve Asked ‘Do You Know Who I Am?’

    Tara Reid (Tom Briglia/FilmMagic)What's a celeb to do when she's treated like -- gasp! -- a regular person and not a superstar?

    In such situations, many Hollywood types do exactly what Tara Reid and Reese Witherspoon did recently and invoke the bratty phrase, "Do you know who I am?," to mixed results.

    The famous typically receive special treatment in many, many ways, but that isn't always the case. Just ask Reid, Witherspoon, and a few other divas who've claimed special privilege because of their celebrity.

    Situation: While shopping at the high-end AllSaints store on Robertson Boulevard in Los Angeles last week, Reid reportedly yelled at staff members when she wasn't given a discount on an outfit she was buying to wear at Coachella for … being famous. (AllSaints declined to comment, and Reid's rep did not immediately respond.) However, the rep who was with her at AllSaints explained to the New York Post that, "Tara gets a huge discount with AllSaints in the U.K. and Paris because she's a walking billboard for

  • Dress Like Leonardo DiCaprio With ‘The Great Gatsby’ Collection

    Some TV shows and films are so stylized that they create a whole other world, particularly when it comes to wardrobe.

    Baz Luhrmann's upcoming adaptation of "The Great Gatsby" promises to be one of those films. So much so that the movie, which comes out May 10, has already inspired a clothing line.

    "The Great Gatsby" Collection at Brooks Brothers joins lines created for movies such as "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" and "Anna Karenina," and shows such as "Gossip Girl," "Downton Abbey," and "American Idol" in recent years.

    Take a look at a few of the clothing lines that are available on store racks now.

  • Joel Madden Reveals He Had to Beg Nicole Richie to Go Out With Him

    Joel Madden and Nicole Richie (Maury Phillips/WireImage)Persistence paid off for Joel Madden.

    The Good Charlotte rocker recently revealed in an interview with "60 Minutes" in Australia -- where he's a panelist on that country's version of "The Voice" -- that it wasn't easy convincing his "Fashion Star" wife Nicole Richie to go out with him. So how did he do it? He begged.

    "I'm not for every woman, you know. Because a lot of women -- I mean, obviously, your first thing is, 'What do you want your guy to look like?' And I'm not the tall, dark, handsome guy," Madden said. "But I think [you like me] once you get to know me -- like how I got Nicole."

    "When I first would see her around, we were friends," Madden noted of his wife of two years, who's now the mother of his two children, 4-year-old Harlow and 3-year-old Sparrow. "But I don't think I'm the obvious choice. I'm always like, 'Just give me a shot. Just give me one date.' If I can get my foot in the door…."

  • Fashion Faceoff: Miley Cyrus vs. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

    Miley "Can't Be Tamed" Cyrus regularly raises eyebrows with her fashion choices.

    Her cutoff shorts, high-waisted jeans, and ab-baring tops are often called into question. But recently, the 20-year-old wore something that had already earned the celebrity seal of approval -- the same garment that model-turned-actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, 26, had sported a month before.

  • The Man in the Mask: Justin Bieber Dons Another Crazy Look

    Justin Bieber (Instagram)No one would ever say that Justin Bieber doesn't like attention.

    The 19-year-old crooner donned another attention-grabbing look on Thursday when he posted a selfie on Instagram of himself wearing a ski mask emblazoned with the iconic Chanel logo. The Biebs, who's in Europe for his "Believe" tour, captioned the photo, "Channel," which we'll pretend was a typo.

    Nevertheless, the post left many of his 570,000 followers swooning. "Perfect boy," "Yum," and "Beautiful" were some of the responses, even though the mask obscured Bieber's oh-so angelic face.

  • Dick Van Dyke Cancels Appearance Due to Undiagnosed Neurological Disorder

    Dick Van Dyke (Kevin Mazur/WireImage)Funnyman Dick Van Dyke isn't laughing right now.

    The 87-year-old actor, best known for his own "Dick Van Dyke Show" in the '60s, the crime drama "Diagnosis Murder" in the '90s, and movies such as "Mary Poppins" and "Night at the Museum," has canceled an appearance in New York next week because of fatigue and other symptoms caused by a "yet-to-be diagnosed neurological disorder," his rep told "Entertainment Tonight." Based on the advice of his doctor, Van Dyke will not be able to travel from his home in Malibu, California, to the 92nd Street Y in New York, where he will be honored with the organization's first Lifetime Achievement Award for Bettering Humanity Through Comedy.

  • Kristen Stewart Channels ‘Rebel Without a Cause’

    Kristen Stewart (X17online)James Dean (Everett)

    Kristen Stewart has embraced the Hollywood norm of wearing high-end fashion on the red carpet, but she's still a rebel at heart.

    The "Twilight" star showed off her tomboy side on Wednesday when she wore a plain white T-shirt, rolled-up jeans, and her beloved Chuck Taylors as she took out the trash at her home in the hipster Los Feliz neighborhood of L.A. Although it almost certainly was due to her nasty smoking habit and unintentional, Stewart, with a cigarette tucked between her lips, channeled James Dean in the iconic movie "Rebel Without a Cause."

  • Octavia Spencer: I’m Grateful Success Didn’t Happen at 22

    Octavia Spencer arrives at the 2013 Oscars. (Gregg DeGuire/WireImage)Octavia Spencer worked in Hollywood for 16 years before she became a household name.

    She appeared in "E.R.," movies like "Big Momma's House," and many, many more TV shows and films before landing the role in "The Help" that won her the Best Supporting Actress Oscar last year. The surprising thing is that she wouldn't have had it any other way.

    "I think [success] came at the right time," Spencer tells omg!. "I think success happens when it's supposed to and when you can appreciate it. I am grateful that it didn't happen for me at 22 or 23. I would've been foolish enough to think that we're all entitled to it, instead of it being the divine blessing that it is."

    The 42-year-old explains that the movie -- in which she portrays Minny, a woman taking care of the homes and children of white families in pre-Civil Rights Era Jackson, Mississippi -- brought her much more than accolades.

    "I'm still good friends with Viola [Davis] and Emma [Stone], Jessica [Chastain] -- we were a tight-knit
