  • Gerard Butler’s NYC Loft

    Harry Benson/Architectural DigestWhile most New Yorkers live in rather cramped quarters, Gerard Butler has a spacious 3,300-square-foot loft in Manhattan that he calls home. The actor invited Architectural Digest into his massive bachelor pad, which features 13-foot-tall mahogany doors, ceiling frescos, plaster walls chipped and mottled with age, and crystal chandeliers.

    "I wanted something elegant and gorgeous and at the same time rather masculine and raw," explains the 40-year-old Scotsman. "I guess I would describe the apartment as bohemian old-world rustic chateau with a taste of baroque."

    While Butler clearly had a vision for the space, he turned to architect Alexander Gorlin and film designer Elvis Restaino to bring it to life. Says Restaino, "We re-created things that came into Gerry's life -- from his travels in Europe or even from an old coffee shop in New York."

  • Justin Bieber’s License to Drive

    Justin Bieber rocked his signature 'do on the orange carpet at the 2010 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards on Saturday. - Michael Tran/FilmMagic.comJustin Bieber turned 16 on March 1 and you know what that means -- he got his driver's license!

    "I couldn't wait to get my license," he says in the April issue of J-14 magazine. "I drove a lot with my permit around Atlanta. I was excited for the freedom and responsibility that comes along with it, but I understand that I have to be smart and responsible. It's a privilege to drive!"

    Um, especially when you're rolling in a new Range Rover! Justin's mentor, Usher, reportedly purchased the luxury SUV for the "Baby" singer's sweet 16. Driving lessons were not included.

    "My dad taught me how to drive, so I have him to thank [for that]," says Bieber. "I think I'm a good driver. I've got a pretty good sense behind the wheel."

    Despite his confidence, the pop star's mom -- like most parents -- is a little scared about letting her son hop in the driver's seat.

    "I love my mom, but I think she's nervous about me driving," he shares. "I tell her who I'm going out with and where we're going. I'm not

  • Vanessa Hudgens: Beverly Hills Beauty

    Vanessa Hudgens struts her stuff in Beverly Hills. - Splash NewsVanessa Hudgens looked chic yet somehow still comfy while strolling through Beverly Hills in a stylish floppy hat, belted shirtdress, and gladiator sandals. Although her BF Zac Efron typically seems to attract more attention than Vanessa does, the 21-year-old actress got to enjoy her moment in the spotlight last week at the 2010 ShoWest Awards in Las Vegas, where she accepted the trophy for the Female Star of Tomorrow.

    While in Sin City, Vanessa made sure to promote her upcoming films "Beastly" (in theaters July 30), which also stars Mary-Kate Olsen, Alex Pettyfer, and Neil Patrick Harris. She also spread the word about "Sucker Punch." Although that action flick won't be released until 2011, it will be in 3-D -- and lets the "High School Musical" star finally play a bad girl! To get in shape for her "badass" role, Hudgens turned to the U.S. Navy SEALS.

    "I trained with the Navy SEALS for five months," she told People. "It was the most intense thing that anyone could ever do. I was

  • Justin Bieber’s No ‘Baby’

    Ke$ha upset Justin Bieber fans when she called him a "tiny little baby" in Maxim . - Kevin Mazur/WireImage.comAfter weeks of doing non-stop promotion for his new album, Justin Bieber's My World 2.0 finally dropped today! Although the 16-year-old is clearly on top of the "world," Ke$ha knocked him down a few notches in a recent magazine interview with Maxim. When asked about the Canadian pop star, whom she shared the stage with on Grammy night, the "Tik Tok" singer cracked: "He's a tiny little baby! I would've loved to push him around on stage in a carriage." Ouch!

    Ke$ha was obviously joking, but Justin's fans didn't find her comments to be funny and headed to various fansites where they trashed the glitter girl. On Monday, Ke$ha broke down and apologized to JBiebs over Twitter: "Dear justin b i am so sorry if my bad joke has hurt your feelings," she tweeted. "U r obviously so talented and i would never mean to offend u. I think u r rad."

    Apparently, so do many other musicians. Snoop Dogg's More Malice also hits stores today, but the rapper -- who released his debut album Doggystyle at the age

  • The Kardashians Go Maserati Shopping in Miami

    Kourtney Kardashian and her baby boy Mason join sister Kim for an afternoon of car shopping in Miami. - INFphoto.comKourtney Kardashian and her baby boy spent some quality time car shopping with little Mason's Auntie Kim in Miami on Thursday. Even though he's only 3 months old, the youngest member of the Kardashian clan is already getting a taste of the good life thank to his family's fancy tastes.

    When Kim wasn't doting on her adorable nephew -- who happens to look a lot like his Uncle Rob -- the reality star was busy checking out luxury vehicles at a Maserati dealership ... and even drove off the lot in a 2010 Maserati Gran Turismo convertible!

    According to Kourtney's blog, Kim didn't purchase the $136,000 car. The hot ride is just for tooling around in when the sisters are in Florida taping "Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami." Added Kourtney: "It's a ridiculous car and I think it's the first one in the U.S. or something crazy like that!"

  • Justin Bieber Fun Facts

    Justin Bieber is a busy boy! On Thursday, the teen idol was spotted making the rounds in London. - Lawrence/Splash NewsJustin Bieber -- who recently announced that his first world tour will kick off on June 23 in Hartford, Connecticut -- created a fan frenzy yet again while making a promotional appearance in London on Thursday. Although young girls clearly go crazy for the 16-year-old pop star, most adults probably don't understand the appeal of JBiebs. Is it his overly-styled hairdo? Is it his sweet "Baby" voice? Is it his constant tweeting? I guess only the teen set knows for sure. Tomorrow night, Chris Connelly's interview with the Canadian singer will air on ABC's "Nightline." Check out a few of the interesting tidbits Connelly discovered about the heartthrob that Justin fans may or may not know below.

    His voice is changing: "I'm at that age where my voice is changing. It's been a pretty smooth transition so far. I'm not all the way through it, but I have the best vocal coaches training me and stuff ... I like my voice how it is right now, but I have to work it out and it's going to get lower, so I

  • Ellen Pompeo Loves Her 10 Extra Pounds

    Mark Abrahams/SelfEllen Pompeo -- who is currently starring in her sixth season on "Grey's Anatomy" -- tells Self magazine that she's loving motherhood and the 10 extra pounds that came along with giving birth to her daughter Stella Luna. The 6-month-old cutie is the first child for Pompeo and her music producer hubby Chris Ivery.

    "I went up a pants size during my pregnancy," reveals the 40-year-old actress. "I was in size 25 jeans and went to 26. I gained 26 pounds. Now, after the baby, I weigh 10 pounds more than I ever have. I love it, because everyone always told me I was too skinny before, and I thought, Oh God, what if there are 14-year-olds who think I'm not eating, and then they don't eat? Do I have a responsibility? But really, I don't care if people think I'm too skinny," she continues. "This is my body. If they don't like it, screw it. [My weight] doesn't matter to me. I have a healthy baby."

  • Gwen Stefani’s Backup Plan

    Michelangelo Di Battista/InStyleGwen Stefani is just one of those women you have to admire. In addition to being the coolest mom around -- who happens to have two of the cutest kids in Hollywood (Kingston and Zuma) -- Gwen's a huge pop star, a fashion designer, and even has her own fragrance line. (I happen to be a fan of the Harajuku Lovers G scent.) And while the "Hollaback Girl" singer is one of many celebrity 'slashies' who try and do it all, she's one of the few (I think) who manages to do it all well.

    More From Gwen's Interview

    Known for her cutting-edge looks, Stefani reveals what prompted her to make a foray into fashion in the April issue of InStyle. "I wanted so badly to have a backup plan for when I'm not performing anymore," she shares. "Let's be realistic: it's not going to be like this forever. So I wanted to continue having something creative to do. I have to be creative to be happy. I don't have a strong sense of self-worth unless I'm doing something. I was a different person before I started to

  • Shia LaBeouf’s So Money

    Nathaniel Goldberg/GQIn the April issue of GQ, the always candid Shia LaBeouf lets it be known that he's still bitter about the way the media handled his widely-publicized car crash in 2008. Although he was initially arrested in Los Angeles on a misdemeanor drunk driving charge, a couple of days later it was announced that Shia was not at fault in the accident, which left him with a severely injured left hand.

    "I'd be watching the news, and they'd play my car crash, and every once in a while Kim Kardashian's sister [Khloe] would jump on TV and preach to me from the red carpet about how to live my [expletive] life," he shares. The reality star, who served 173 minutes in jail for a 2007 DUI charge, had these words of wisdom for Shia: "Just be smarter," she told Us Weekly at a red carpet event. "Think about your actions and get a driver. It's so much cheaper in the long run!"

    Not surprisingly, LaBeouf didn't exactly appreciate Khloe's unsolicited advice.

    "And I'm so
