The Famous: Watching the Watched
  • The Weiner and The Wife. - Dimitrios Kambouris/WireImageWhen New York congressman Anthony Weiner tearfully admitted sending graphic images to six different women online, reporters at the press conference shouted: "WHERE'S YOUR WIFE?"

    Not there. Weiner stood alone on the podium, deflated.

    As the embarrassing scandal unfolds, and more Weiner women come out of the woodwork, it does not take a rocket scientist to imagine that Huma Abedin, his accomplished spouse, is probably really pissed off right now. "We've been through a great deal together and will weather this," said Weiner, declaring they would not break up over the bulging crotch shot, among other brazen shenanigans.

    Here's some background on the woman behind the Weiner: Abedin is 34 years old, and was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan to an Indian father and Pakistani mother. The stunningly pretty politico grew up in Saudia Arabia, where her mom is a professor of sociology, and later returned to the United States to attend George Washington University. She landed an internship at the

  • "I would rather swim in pee than plan my wedding to her." - ABCBentley "I'm Just Not Feeling It" Williams fed Ashley Hebert enough empty lines to make her fall for him -- and hard. But then, on Monday's edition of "The Bachelorette," Williams stepped down from his devious strategy to win the final rose: he abruptly left the show, pinning his change of heart on missing his young daughter.

    "I'm not leaving because of my daughter," he smirked to the camera before breaking the news to a distraught Hebert and his Ashley-obsessed rivals. They believed every word.

    Stunningling, Hebert admitted she had FALLEN IN LOVE with Williams after knowing him for, like, a week. Little did she realize, Williams talked some vicious smack behind her back. "Your daughter has your heart but you have mine. I don't know if this is going to work for me now," she blubbered to Williams, who pretended to console her. "In the end, I picture you there."

    Come on, Ashley, OPEN YOUR EYES: he's a snake-oil salesman! A con man! A borderline sociopath! Then we straddled the seemingly

  • Watch Anderson Cooper Chastise Paris Hilton

    Anderson Cooper has been picking on some easy targets as of late. After recently going after Snooki, Cooper's latest pop cultural target is Paris Hilton.

     

    Cooper took time on his show last night to add, tongue firmly planted in cheek, "People Who Criticize Paris Hilton" to his RidicuList. The segment is amusing, sure, and it's hard to take issue with Cooper's argument, but at this point taking on Paris Hilton's antics is sort of like shooting a sitting duck, no?

  • Jessica Alba and Jessica Simpson Go To Yale

    Simpson heads to New Haven. - Getty ImagesIn addition to the same name, there's something else Jessica Simpson and Jessica Alba share: significant others who went to Yale.

    And it turns out that Simpson's fiance, Eric Johnson, and Alba's husband, Cash Warren, graduated from the New Haven university at the same time, which meant the two both returned to Connecticut this weekend for their reunion.

    Because the Law of Celebrities mandates that they band together if they are in the same vicinity among non-Celebrities, the two couples joined forces and toured the campus together, resulting in quite the photo op. (Simpson was wearing red Daisy Dukes, while Alba looked like she was going for "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" chic.)

    Indicating the two women don't exactly have the same sensibilities, however, Alba tweeted a picture of her posing with Yale security guards, while Simpson posted a picture of her splayed out on the Yale football field.

  • Hudson out in Malibu on Saturday. - Steve Granitz/WireImageIf you felt this tinge of loneliness yesterday afternoon, like you were missing out on something really fun, it was probably because, at a "Spanish-style" Malibu ranch in California, Kate Hudson was celebrating her baby shower with 80 beautiful friends, and you weren't there.

    Who was there? Rachel Zoe, Courteney Cox, Nicole Richie, Jessica Capshaw, Sara Foster ("90210") and Jennifer Meyer (a.k.a. Mrs. Tobey Maguire), among others.

    Hudson hasn't revealed the gender of her future child, so guests brought her "gender neutral" baby items (which means they were mostly green and yellow, reportedly).

    The family-friendly party (Nicole Richie was seen running around with her kids) was also described as "hilarious" and involved "baby shower games."

    "The best one was where people tried to guess what Kate and Matthew should name the baby," the source says. "It was hilarious and got a lot of laughs out of everyone! It was such a fun party -- and people stayed for hours."

    We will take the

  • As you can see here, this smiley face is somewhat sinister. Chris Brown's girlfriend, Karrueche, tweeted the photo of the singer sporting the upper back ink, the latest installment of his tattoo collection. Brown has already inked his arms, and part of his chest.

    After the horrific Rihanna beating, and the "Good Morning America" freakout, it's pretty much a given that Brown has ditched his previous squeaky-clean image for good. The tattoos might be an extension of his rebellion, anger, self-loathing, whatever. So far he has not added any strategically placed sexy dolphins, which are far creepier than demonic smiley faces.

  • Colin Firth Now Publishing Scientific Papers

    Colin Firth: "scientific ambassador"? - Stephen Lovekin/Getty ImagesAs if Colin Firth weren't dreamy enough -- what with his Academy Award and Mr. Darcy-ness and his accent -- he has to go and co-author a published neuroscience paper.

    Yes, Firth is one of four authors on a Current Biology report, which he commissioned after guest editing a segment on a radio program in December. The research looked at the brains of politicians to see if there was any difference between the brains of liberals and conservatives. (The answer: there is.)

    A NYU professor told Psychologist magazine, "It is a useful contribution because it builds on and extends previous work... It will probably be several years before we understand the full meaning of these results. In the meantime, the field of political neuroscience could do worse than having Colin Firth as a scientific ambassador."

    Perhaps not quite as sexy as revealing to the world you can speak fluent French, but unexpected and impressive nevertheless.

  • Whooping it up at a polo match on Sunday. - Indigo/Getty ImagesAttention, Harry Hunters: the Gingered Prince of Your Fantasies may one day be yours. One day. His on-again, off-again, what-the-hell-are-they relationship with Chelsy Davy has hit a rough patch, the Daily Mail reports. This past weekend, Davy went on holiday in Ibiza -- this sentence is clearly meant to be read in a posh British accent (ours comes out Cockney) -- and someone overheard her saying she's "young, free and single."

    Meanwhile, Prince Harry is allegedly eager to settle down with the 25-year-old law student. He faces skepticism on Davy's part: she feels jealous of other women vying for his attention, as well as pressured by "the lifestyle of a Royal girlfriend."

    That makes sense. Nothing about Davy screams "cookie cutter," or "traditional." The Zimbabwe-born blonde seems to relish her independence, and is frequently photographed looking as if she just rolled right out of bed. It's obvious she rather be a Sexy Pippa than a Duchess Kate, who can't risk making one single

  • The Middleton sisters are in very different places in their lives right now. While Pippa is partying and gallivanting around town, chased by paparazzi wherever she goes, Kate is gearing up for life as a royal (including a move to Kensington Palace).

    This weekend, the sisters both did their own thing, though both did so in flashy Miiddleton fashion.

    Pippa completed a triathlon on Sunday, which she somehow finished while still looking fresh-faced and chipper.

    Meanwhile, Kate attended Derby Day in a cream-colored outfit, alongside husband William and brother-in-law Harry (both donning amusing top hats), as well as the Queen.

    So are you a Pippa or a Kate? Would your dream weekend include a triathlon under the sun or a formal, dressy affair involving a fascinator? Would your dream night involve cocktails and club music or staying in with a bottle of wine? And so on...

  • Earrings accessorize gold popcorn nicely. - Kevin Winter/Getty ImagesWhen Justin Bieber won "Best Jaw-Dropping Moment" at Sunday's MTV Movie Awards, he went teen idol casual in a blue blazer, white pants and ... earrings in both ears.

    According to Just Jared, Bieber's black stone studs were designed by Nialaya Jewelry. He previously sported a pair of the brand's pricey bracelets while escorting Selena Gomez to Vanity Fair's Oscar party. While the wrist bling was pop-star cool, the double earrings are a new look for the Biebs: he's 17 years old but looks 12; it's like he raided Boyz II Men's wardrobe from 1994, and snuck out with the group's slick R&B swag (jewels, sport coats etc). He's trying on a more mature image, but not quite pulling it off. He should stick to wearing this Stewie pendant.

     

    At Sunday's show, Bieber snagged a popcorn trophy for his "Never Say Never" 3-D blockbuster, which was indeed a jaw-dropping moment for diehard Biebermaniacs. Gomez, scourge of the singer's superfans, weathered some ribbing from host Jason Sudeikis.
