  • Ashlee and Pete’s Beverly Hills Abode

    Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz have put their Beverly Hills home up for sale. - Jamie McCarthy/WireImage.comIf you're in the market to buy a home in Beverly Hills, perhaps you want to consider checking out the mansion Ashlee Simpson-Wentz shares with hubby Pete and their precious 15-month-old son Bronx. The singer/actress, who owned the property prior to marrying the Fall Out Boy bassist in 2008, has listed her Mediterranean-style villa for $4 million. According to public records, she purchased the gated compound in 2007 for $4.5 million.

    "I love the views and the pool," she tells In Touch Weekly of her 7,100 square-foot home, which is built against the side of a hill and sits on more than half an acre of land. In addition to its five bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms, the secluded abode also comes with a two-story guesthouse, a gym, a Zen meditation garden, and "lots of closet space," which was a plus for the couple. Pete apparently has a habit of digging through his wife's closet -- and makeup bag -- when he's looking for something to wear. "I take longer to get ready than she does,"

  • Jessica Simpson: ‘I Will Never Do Nudity’

    Norman Jean Roy/AllureEveryone's always criticizing Jessica Simpson. She's fat, she's stupid (remember her infamous Chicken of the Sea question?), she can't keep a man, yada, yada, yada. Fortunately, the 29-year-old singer doesn't let the haters keep her down. In the March issue of Allure, Jess opens up about being single, her infamous pair of high-waisted 'mom jeans,' and why she'll never strip down for a movie role. Get a sneak peek at her interview below!

    On being single: "I'm on my own, and it's nice."

    On her next husband: "I definitely will marry an artistic man. It will show you the colors of my character, the person that I fall in love with next. I don't even have a type! I don't have a physical type. I have an emotional type. When you have yourself together, I don't care what you look like at all. You can be tall; you can be short."

  • Tina Fey: ‘I Don’t Weigh Myself’

    Mario Testino/VogueAlthough funny lady Tina Fey doesn't exactly consider herself to be a fashion plate (she once inadvertently purchased a pair of "mom jeans"), she graces March's issue of Vogue and looks absolutely fabulous! Of course, that doesn't mean she was completely comfortable in front of famed photographer Mario Testino.

    "At one point I was posing for [Mario] and he was talking from behind the camera and he was like, 'You have to fliiiirt, darleeeng. You have to bee-leeve you are wuuuurthy to be on the cover,' " she laughs while recalling her Vogue shoot. "And then at one point he said very quietly, 'Lift your chin, darling. You are not 18.' And I was like, 'You probably say that to all the 23-year olds.' "

    Despite her wry sense of humor, the award-winning actress is clearly a Hollywood star, yet she feels like she represents "normalcy in some way. What are your choices today in entertainment?" she asks. "People either represent youth, power, or sexuality. And

  • Joe Jonas’ New Ride

    Joe Jonas shows off his flashy new set of wheels. - Splash NewsJoe Jonas so badly wants to be a hipster. He's started wearing black-rimmed glasses, vintage blazers, and has been spotted hanging out in two of LA's trendy, hipster-central neighborhoods: Los Feliz and Silverlake.

    On Monday, the 20-year-old pop star was photographed taking his new set of wheels out for a spin. Joe's funky bright red bike was decked out with a matching skull (he's so bad!), checkered rear view mirrors, and handlebar streamers. While the two-wheeler is totally cute -- Pee-wee Herman would love it! -- Joe's headband is ridiculous.

    Think he's trying a little too hard to be funky?

  • Anne Hathaway: I’ve Got ‘Weird Features’

    David Slijper/InStyleThere's no doubt about it ... Anne Hathaway is beautiful. One minute she's the girl-next-door, the next she's a sexy siren! But like most women, the 27-year-old actress tends to focus on the negative when she looks at herself in the mirror.

    "I think I've got really weird features," she says in the March issue of InStyle. "I have very large features on a very small head. But, you know, I'm not going to beat myself up... I look like myself, and I think at the end of the day, as nice as pretty is, authenticity is more important."

    Although I totally disagree with the "Valentine's Day" star's self-assessment, the fact that she's willing to open up about what she perceives as her imperfections makes me love her all the more.

    To read more of Anne's interview -- and to see her modeling some of spring's hottest fashions -- pick up the March issue of InStyle, on newsstands Friday, February 12.

  • Inside Taylor’s Bachelorette Pad

    Andy Fossum/Splash NewsTaylor Swift is only 20 years old, but she's already won four Grammy Awards, was the youngest person to ever be named the CMA Entertainer of the Year, stars in the upcoming flick "Valentine's Day," and just dropped $2 million on a swanky 4,062-square-foot penthouse in Nashville, Tennessee.

    "I'm so excited," Taylor tells In Touch Weekly of her luxurious new home in the 18-story Adelicia building, which features 3 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and a state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen. Not bad for a girl who grew up on a Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania!

    When her tour for Fearless winds down in June, Swift says she's looking forward to decorating her new pad in a "quirky, whimsical style." Of course, she already has plenty of ideas up her sleeve.

    "It's going to be my fantasy world," she revealed in Rolling Stone. "The ceiling of my living room is painted like the night sky. There's a pond in the living room ... The pond is a moat around the fireplace and may possibly have koi fish in it. You

  • Snoop Joins the Imperial March

    Snoop Dogg chills with Darth Vader in Times Square. - Joe Kohen/WireImage.comSnoop Dogg marched through NYC's Times Square this morning with Darth Vader and a battalion of Stormtroopers for the launch of the adidas Originals "Star Wars" Collection. (Is it me, or does the rapper look a tad uncomfortable in his Darth Vader track suit?)

    If you haven't already heard about the geek chic line, it features items from both the light and dark sides of the Force, such as Luke Skywalker-themed kicks and Darth Vader-inspired attire.

    While I love adidas, I must admit this particular collection is not really my cup of tea, but then I've never been much of a "Star Wars" fan anyway. Check out a few of the looks below and let me know what you think. Will you be buying a pair of Yoda boots?

    The rapper and R2-D2 became fast friends. - Charles Eshelman/FilmMagic.com 

    Later, one passerby caught Snoop and the Stormtroopers making their way to the adidas store in Soho on tape:

  • Demi Lovato’s New BFF?

    Miley Cyrus enjoys a night out with Liam Hemsworth and Demi Lovato. - ICE-Fabio/X17online.comMiley Cyrus had a dinner date Tuesday night with her hunky boyfriend Liam Hemsworth and gal pal Demi Lovato at Jerry's Deli in Studio City, California. Judging from Demi's edgy look, the 17-year-old "Camp Rock" star must want to break out of the "Disney mold" as much as Miley does!

    Unfortunately, Lovato's desire to change her image may be causing problems between her and her BFF of 10 years, Selena Gomez, who, interestingly enough, introduced Demi to life in Hollywood. Although the girls won't admit their friendship is on the rocks, they both spoke to J-14 magazine about how growing apart from people in life is normal.

    "There are times when even if you've known someone for a long time, you change," noted Demi. "Just because we were best friends doesn't mean we're always going to stay best friends."

    Added Selena, "I think [ending friendships] is natural and people have to go through it."

    Sad but true.

  • Nick Jonas Plays at the Pier

    Nick Jonas serenades his fans with an impromptu performance at the Santa Monica Pier. - James Breeden/Nate Jones/PacificCoastNews.comNick Jonas' week has certainly started off with a bang! On Sunday, he attended the Grammys. On Monday, he lent his voice to re-recording the 1985 charity anthem "We Are the World" for Haiti earthquake relief. And on Tuesday, Nick Jonas & The Administration released their first album, Who I Am, which the 17-year-old somehow found time to get out and promote.

    This morning, he announced an impromptu concert via Twitter. "I want to spend release day with my fans!" Nick tweeted. "Heading to Santa Monica pier near the carousel to play for whoever shows up at 10:30am/PST!!!"

    Um, doesn't he know most of his young fans were probably in school?

    At any rate, it's too late to catch his acoustic performance live, but check out video of Nick's performance below!

    With the help of his big brothers Kevin and Joe, as well as Jordin Sparks, Nick also taped a goofy viral video to spread the word about his new record where he covers a few seconds of Beyonce's "Halo" and Lady Gaga's "Poker Face." The
