The Famous: Watching the Watched
  • Dave Kotinsky/Getty ImagesPascal Le Segretain/Getty ImagesKelly Bensimon admits that Kim Kardashian's engagement to Kris Humphries make her turn green with envy.

    "Just the other day we hear that Kim Kardashian is engaged," the "Real Housewives of New York" fembot tells People.com. "She is so unbelievable and I have so much respect for her. And to be honest with you I'm not that jealous of many people -- I'm just not a jealous person -- but the fact that she's so happy and engaged and found true love, I'm jealous. I am."

    Bensimon adds: "I'm just so happy for her ... She's wanted it, and that's just so exciting for her."

    We hear you, Kelly. One glance at Kardashian's insane 20.5 carat ring, and it's hard not to feel a slight twinge of "Me want!" But Bensimon is wealthy, and she most likely has similar baubles in her walk-in jewelry treasure chest or whatever. Meanwhile, this confession from the loopy, robotically nice reality star offers proof that she in fact has real human feelings: when a friend unexpectedly finds love (and by association,

  • Sister, sister. - Jamie McCarthy/WireImageIt can be easy to forget that the reason both Jessica and Ashlee Simpson became famous in the first place was thanks to their singing.

    But while each has released a number of albums, neither has really done anything musical-related in the past few years. (Ashlee is apparently working on a new album, though we'll believe it when we hear it.)

    So while a collaboration between the sisters would have likely meant a duet five years ago, now it means... a tween fashion line.

    Yes, Jessica and Ashlee are creating an apparel line for tweens as part of the Jessica Simpson Collection.

    Women's Wear Daily says the items will be "geared toward the fashion-forward tween" and will include pieces of clothing modeled after Jessica's "girly, playful attitude."

    "Creating a tween apparel collection was a natural extension for the brand," Jessica tells the magazine. "I'm excited to bring my sister, Ashlee, along as co-creative director of this division, because she brings a savvy rocker edge that defines

  • That's Hilaria, surrounded by bros at an event in New York. - Guest of a GuestMeet Hilaria Thomas, the 28-year-old yoga instructor reportedly dating 53-year-old Alec Baldwin. According to Page Six, Baldwin is "smitten" with Thomas, who runs the Yoga Vida studio in New York; he even plans on bringing her as his date to the Tony Awards on June 13. Last month, the actor took Thomas to the 120th anniversary party for Carnegie Hall at The Plaza. (Here's a photo of the pair at the gala, snapped by Patrick McMullan's photo agency.)

    When asked about the relationship, Baldwin's rep joked to Page Six: "He's actually been dating Russell Brand down in South Florida." As for Thomas, she snapped, "I'm not going to answer these questions." When The Famous called her studio this morning, the receptionist refused to pass along our request for comment.

    We'll take Thomas' silence as tacit confirmation? 

    Here's another image of Thomas on the fitness website Mizzfit. The site's editor gushed about her in a comments thread, writing:

    "Hilaria really does care and she is always so very

  • Patrick and Arnold in October. - Duffy-Marie Arnoult/WireImageThe 17-year-old son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, Patrick -- who recently changed his name on Twitter to Patrick Shriver, in light of the scandal surrounding his father -- will be moving out of his family's $23 million Brentwood home, according to X17online.

    This sounds a tad more drastic than it really is, as Patrick was apparently living in the home by himself since the news of his father's love child with former housekeeper Mildred "Patty" Baena broke.

    He is now living in a rented apartment (likely with roommates) in Brentwood, located fairly close to his high school.

    Arnold has been camped out at the family vacation home in Sun Valley, Idaho, while Shriver has been staying at a Beverly Hills hotel.

    The site says the move was instigated by Patrick's feeling lonely in the 7-bedroom, 14,500 square foot home.

  • Grab your smelling salts: this is Bradley Cooper speaking fluent French while promoting "Very Bad Trip 2" in France.

    We have ZERO idea what he's saying, but we've a mind to run it past our friend from Montreal once our jaw leaves the floor. 

  • The last time they were photographed together, in June 2010. - Michael Caulfield/WireImageThough Jennifer Aniston has had a succession of significant others over the years, one thing has remained constant: her friendship with "Friends" co-star Courteney Cox.

    But, according to an Us Weekly report, there is now "tension" between the friends which -- surprise surprise -- they somehow managed to relate back to Brad Pitt.

    The magazine claims Aniston isn't pleased that Cox has been photographed with her "Cougar Town" co-stars Josh Hopkins and Brian Van Holt on various beaches and romantic settings after her separation from David Arquette.

    "Jen thinks Courteney is acting callous by running around with this guy but refusing to file divorce papers," an Aniston source said. "Like she's playing mind games with David."

    Us, who noted the two women have not been photographed together in a year, said Cox's "antics... even reminded Aniston of her own marital heartache with ex Brad Pitt, who took up with Angelina Jolie weeks after their 2005 split."

    Meanwhile, on the same day, People

  • Take another look at The Rock. - bauergriffinonline.comThe painful wait is over: we now know what Kris Humphries had engraved inside the 20.5-carat, $2 million engagement ring he gave to Kim Kardashian.

    The basketball player had two Bible verses inscribed inside the cavernous ring.

    "It's engraved, with two things from the Bible," Humphries told People. "There's one verse [Proverbs 31: 10-31] about the perfect godly woman... The other, [1 John 3:18] is about love. It took me... a few days to pick them out and research the perfect ones." While we don't know exactly what's on the rings, the Proverbs verse begins (in King James translation), "Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil," while the John reads, "My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue, but in deed and in truth."

    Additionally, between the two passages, the message "K [hearts] K" is engraved.

    Nothing says romance like text-speak.

  • Dominique Charriau/WireImageRay Mickshaw/WireImageLeonardo DiCaprio moves fast: freshly split from supermodel Bar Refaeli, the serial monogamist and modelizer has swiftly moved on with Blake Lively. Cue the "It Couple" headlines, centered around photographic evidence: Blake and Leo hugging on a boat in Cannes! Holding hands in Monte Carlo!

    "He looked very in love," a photographer witness tells Us Weekly of their moonlight stroll last Friday. Two days later, DiCaprio reportedly introduced Lively as his girlfriend during a yacht party (who is he, James Bond?).

    According to sources, the duo met in November at a business meeting and eventually kissed for the first time in January at Jeremy Renner's birthday party. Just weeks ago, DiCaprio broke up with Refaeli, a 25-year-old Sports Illustrated model.

    DiCaprio is 36; Lively is 23. To paraphrase Matthew McConaughey in "Dazed and Confused," subbing in leggy blondes for high schools, "I get older, they stay the same age." It's obvious that DiCaprio, who once dated Gisele Bundchen, has a

  • Selena Gomez Meets Justin Bieber’s Family

    The romance continues. - Getty ImagesThis Justin Bieber-Selena Gomez thing is showing no signs of letting up (though the pair might not want to read Justin Timberlake's Vanity Fair interview).

    After a week spent in Hawaii, where they were photographed in various states of lovey-dovey, the pair travelled to Canada to spend some time with Bieber's father Jeremy and his half-siblings Jazmyn and Jaxons (apparently the Biebers have a Kardashian-like obsession with the letter "J").

    "They looked like one big happy family," an onlooker told Us Weekly. "The little kids took to Selena straight away and they were all laughing and joking around. They couldn't have been happier."

    We will say it's nice the pair doesn't seem to be worrying about showing their affection in public.

    Less charming is this picture floating around the internet of Bieber giving Gomez a foot massage while wearing a hat that says "OBEY."

  • Romancing an Olsen? - Getty ImagesWell, we wouldn't have necessarily put the two of them together, but Ashley Olsen and Justin Timberlake -- who are "hooking up," according to Us Weekly -- do have a few things in common.

    1. Both starred in beloved shows when they were children ("Full House" and the "Mickey Mouse Club," respectively).

    2. Both just got out of long-term relationships (with Justin Bartha and Jessica Biel, respectively).

    3. Both... love theater?! (The magazine says they've attended two Broadway shows together in the past few weeks.)

    4. Both are currently in "the same head space" (this observation courtesy of "an Olsen source").

    So, sure, why not? Do your thing, kids.

    Timberlake's rep protests, "They are friends. They are not romantically involved," but maybe this gossip item is just some sort of viral marketing campaign for "Friends with Benefits" and the rep is just trying to make that more explicit?
