CMA Awards Fashion Face-Off: Nicole Kidman vs. Sheryl Crow

It's the fashion we're focused on here, however. Oscar-winner Nicole Kidman (left), wore Dolce & Gabbana in support of her nominated husband, Keith Urban.

Sheryl Crow, meanwhile, showed her toned physique in one-shoulder gown accented with a bold and bright print at the hem. Who was dressed best? Vote!

Katy Perry Live at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show: What's Her Best Look?

What was her best look, though? First, she rocked a yellow, strapless bustier dress covered in pink hearts (which she completed with thigh-high boots).

Later, she appeared in low-cut purple bustier that featured a big bustle. Designer Todd Thomas was responsible for both of Katy Perry's style statements.

Jessica Simpson Flips Over Nick Lachey-Vanessa Minnillo Engagement

Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey just got engaged, and according to Us Weekly, his previous spouse, Jessica Simpson is "flipping out" over the news.

Only a good way, of course.

"I am extremely, extremely happy for him," she told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show. "My mom actually called me and said that everyone was saying that I was 'saddened.' I was just in complete shock. I couldn't be more happy for Nick."

"Our relationship was over a long time ago, and it would be nice if everyone could move on with us and really just celebrate the love between him and Vanessa [Minnillo]," she went on. "I do, and I really wish them nothing but the best."

Simpson says she's content with her new beau Eric Johnson, who she gushes about, but who we're guessing he hasn't gotten Jessica Simpson pregnant. Yet.

The only issue, she says, is where to spend the coming months. "Having a boyfriend through the holidays, we're going to see how all that splits up," she said.

Kendra Wilkinson Continues to Mislead the Public

Kendra Wilkinson is not exactly the most talented celebrity on the planet.

Therefore, in order to garner attention for the new season of her E! reality show, the centerfold has resorted to simply misleading the public regarding events in her life. For example:

  • Kendra made a huge deal out of NOT posing for Playboy again. Was this technically true? Yes. Is she on the cover of that magazine's holiday issue?Yes.
  • Kendra gave an interview in which she whined about being a single parent. Is she? Of course not. She's wealthy and married and simply lives apart from her husband for a few weeks per year.

Now, Wilkinson is at it again. Pictured on the cover of In Touch Weekly, the giant-boobed blonde says baby number-two is "on the way." Does this mean she's pregnant? No, it's tabloid 101, folks. On the way could mean that one will arrive at some point in the future... maybe.

Totally Not Pregnant

Kendra Wilkinson is pregnant... with lies about her life!

Lindsay Lohan, Parents to Bury the Hatchet?

Just when we thought we'd seen everything. What's next? Kanye and W making up and Bristol Palin making it to the final four on Dancing with the Stars?

Oh, wait ...

Michael and Lindsay PicDina and Lindsay Pic

ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY? Hey, anything's possible. Apparently.

Doctors and therapists at the Betty Ford Clinic, where Lindsay Lohan will continue to reside until early 2011, have been "encouraging" her to get in a room with her folks to resolve issues that may have put her in her current state.

Five or six years too late, but hey, better than never.

Lindsay is being urged to consider getting both parents together with her during one of Betty Ford's family week next month. Lohan may even go for it.

One encouraging sign? Michael Lohan, who spent time with Lindsay this week, says he's willing to sit down with Dina AND won't blab to the press. Wow.

As for Dina Lohan, she's not pleased with the idea but hasn't ruled it out. She seems more interested in Lindsay's recovery than ever, so here's hoping.

Dina went to Betty Ford for a family week last month. Michael, who made a stink about being shut out, will go to a family week sans Dina next week.

Lindsay appears committed to the whole thing, because yesterday she and Michael made time for a little mid-day movie date - their second in a week.

All encouraging signs. Let's hope they build toward real change for a star whose downward spiral can't get much worse. We applaud all their efforts.

Mel Gibson in Court: I Love My Baby Girl!

Mel's voice cracked as he talked about the daughter he shares with Oksana, who was also present, during his testimony. Lucia just celebrated her first birthday.

Oksana wants Judge Scott Gordon to strip Mel of overnight visits with Lucia, saying whenever the baby stays the night at Mel's, she comes back "acting funny."

Mel: Troubled Fella

Mel has issues, but he's fighting hard for custody of his daughter.

Oksana did not get specific as to what "funny" meant.

On cross examination Mel's lawyers played video of Oksana talking to People and other media outlets, asking directly if that's really appropriate for Lucia:

"Do you think by talking to the media you are looking out for the best interests of Lucia?" She was also grilled about talking to TMZ, who reported this story.

Oksana's lawyers tried to get the judge to invalidate the couple's mediation agreement from May (which Oksana now disavows), but Gordon shut them down.

That issue wasn't before the court, he said. The next court date is November 22, during which Grigorieva will take the stand for further cross-examination.

Mel's ex-girlfriend alleges Gibson cheated on her and committed violent acts against her, allegations that have not been substantiated - at least by the law.

In addition to attaining sole custody of Lucia, Oksana wants the judge to order Mel to seek therapy. So far, Gordon has been unmoved by such requests.

Whose side are you on?

Angelina Jolie Covers Vogue, Gushes About Brad Pitt

The Tourist star calls her partner “extremely handsome and the most sexy,” but says she’s most in love with him when he’s with their children.

For a movie star, that's a remarkably down-to-earth statement. Maybe she's nothing like the control freak drug fiend the tabloids say she is ...

Angelina Jolie Vogue Cover

Other highlights from the interview ...

  • At age 6, Pax is a better cook than Ange (per Ange)
  • Maddox encourages ger when she makes breakfast
  • Shiloh found and wanted to keep a dead bird as a pet
  • She has a permanent wire tap on Jennifer Aniston
  • They have a bulldog named Jacques and nannies who speak Vietnamese and Cambodian, the native tongues of Pax and Maddox, respectively

Just kidding about the fourth bullet point above. Just making sure you're still here. Basically, she's supermom and a super individual, as evidenced by all her trips to Pakistan, Haiti and anywhere there's a humanitarian crisis. Eat it, haters!

CMA Awards Fashion Face-Off: Billy Ray Cyrus vs. Kid Rock

This might be the first and last time Bilyl Ray Cyrus is ever compared to Kid Rock.

But the newly single father of Miley Cyrus walked the red carpet of the Country Music Awards last night, all by his lonesome, following his recent divorce from wife Tish.

The Detroit rocker did the same, refraining from once again calling Steven Tyler an idiot and simply posing for photographers in his usual attire. Check out both quasi studs here and then vote in our poll:

Inside the (Fake) Kardashian Sister Split!

Khloe, Kourtney and Kim Kardashian have been spotted together numerous times over the last few weeks, most recently at the opening for Dash NYC.

But beneath the red carpet smiles and plastic body parties, Life & Style has breaking, utterly contrived news for fans of thees siblings: they hate each other!!!

"When Khloé arrived in NYC, Kim wanted nothing more than for the three sisters to hit the town together and have fun," an insider tells the tabloid. "But Khloé said Kim was being a selfish bitch. Kim burst into tears and rushed out of the room."

Torn Apart, Again

Forget a pretend Kardashian split... Amber Portwood has three boyfriends AND a baby?!?

Indeed, while Kim claims to be content with her single life, such a contrast with her siblings has apparently created an opportunity for imaginary sources to give fake quotes a riff.

"Kim definitely feels abandoned," says this family friend. "It's clear that Kourtney and Khloé are bonding over being settled down, and Kim just doesn't fit in."

It really is clear, isn't it, people?

The magazine claims Kourtney and Khloe are also freezing Kim out of their business, making decisions about clothing locations inside Dash without consulting their sister.

"They've grown apart much more than Kim had realized. It's made her very sad," reads this cover story.

Will Bristol Palin Make the Finals on Dancing With the Stars?

Will Bristol Palin make the finals on Dancing With the Stars? Don't count her out, the way she's been improving people have inexplicably been voting.

Week after week, Palin has landed at the bottom of the scoreboard, but week in and week out, a far superior dancer packs his or her bags instead.

With only four couples left, there's a fair chance Bristol the Pistol ends up in the finals. What is it about Sarah Palin's daughter that keeps her on?

"Bristol Palin is somebody I think most of Middle America and regular people can relate to," judge Carrie Ann Inaba said. "She's a regular girl with normal problems and normal issues. I think a lot of people look at her and see themselves."

A lot of people look at the daughter of a major political figure, who's only famous for getting pregnant as a teenager, and see themselves? Eh, we'll buy it.

"I think the Bristol Palin conspiracy phenomenon," Inaba said. "I feel like she's very relatable to the average person. She's non-pretentious, very relaxed."

Will mediocre dance moves and overwhelming fan support carry her into the finale November 23? Who are YOU rooting for on Dancing With the Stars?
